There was another run from Anna Nacoti that was pretty good as well. I'd love to see Typhoid Mary in this series.

Smith's major contribution to Daredevil is that he finally killed off Karen Page. Otherwise it is a fairly average story for its time and really is bogged down with a lot of other garbage that was happening in Daredevil at the time.

thrakkorzog posted:Guardians of the Galaxy kind of neutered the Nova Corps. In Guardians of the Galaxy, the Nova Corps are just basically beat cops without any super powers and maybe some extra tech. They were already introducing so many cosmic elements that introducing Nova too might be a bit too much. Also, traditionally, Nova is someone from Earth but we have that role already in Quill.

Iron Fist is probably most well known for being buddies with Luke Cage and their duo book of "Heroes for Hire". Even when that team doesn't have a book, they're frequently working together. There's a lot of, at best, hokey and at worst, really bad stories surrounding both characters. But the roots of both characters are strong and I'm sure they can carry their own series.

The priest talks about how people in the area still remembering Jack Murdock and Matt even says they attended this church when he was a kid. I think Matt knew full well what church he was going to and what priest would be there. Hell that priest might've given him Last Rites at the hospital if things were touch and go at one point.

Re-watching the series and I'm enjoying Owsley a lot more. You can also kind of see Madame Ghao put the pieces together that Wesley isn't really needed to interpret anything. Fisk mentions in passing the time he spent in Asia and "the farm" but I wonder where Wesley learned Japanese and Chinese. Maybe Fisk and he met when they were abroad. I wouldn't mind Wesley appearing in flashbacks. I'd like to learn more about him. I really don't think he is just a business associate. I also on my first viewing was convinced that the Catholic Priest would be on the take. I don't know why, maybe it is because I think that would really crush Matthew. Even more so than cops and fellow lawyers would be on it, but even his own priest. I also like how they tied into the larger MCU even if it is mostly throwaway lines. St. Agnes being the same orphanage Skye/Daisy spent time in. Carl Creel before he became the Absorbing Man, which really makes him a more interesting figure and perhaps he could appear in a Netflix property as well if he has ties to organized crime. These are small things, but these are also things that the early episodes of SHIELD seemed to intentionally avoid.

What kind of loving interview does this guy do? Also, "and uh...ummm...."

Hakkesshu posted:Cage doesn't have much of a solo presence, at least in modern times. He was kind of a pet character for Bendis (who wrote Alias) and so he used him a lot, he became the leader of the New Avengers as you know, which was a decent book but since it isn't MAX it's obviously very PG and because it was one of the mainline books it got caught up in a lot of event nonsense, especially Civil War, so you'll have to wade through some business to get the complete story. There are neat moments though, like how Luke insists that the Avengers focus more on actual street crime instead of just cosmic bullshit, so he has them visiting crime-ridden neighbourhoods and such. Jessica Jones is also a side character here. Like most long-running Bendis books it eventually goes off the deep end and they start introducing wacky subplots like hiring Squirrel Girl to be their babysitter. There is a Power Man and Iron Fist series launching in the new year. It is probably the first time in a good, long while that a book featuring Luke Cage is actually titled Power Man.

Punisher works best when there's a universe full of villains with enough masterminds who won't get offed and enough C-listers he can kill, and heroes that he can bounce off of. I don't know if there's enough of that on this level of the MU at this time without heavily tying him to, say, Daredevil, which has enough of a cast and powered/gifted people for Punisher to work with and/or kill.

mind the walrus posted:Daredevil was ok. I get what they were going for with Goonlord Fisk but in the back half the show started to bend around him way too much. It was good overall, but I suspect I'd have enjoyed it way more if I hadn't already read the Miller, Bendis, and Brubaker runs a decade ago and I own that as my perspective. I've read pretty much every DD comic and I still loved the Netflix series. Besides some general concepts it isn't a direct of any specific story or anyone's general run, so I don't see why reading the comics is a detriment. If anything it adds because you pick up on the comic easter eggs.

Terrible Horse posted:While I liked that the they didn't focus on the superpowers too much, when they did, it was done badly. Outside of subtle cool touches like Jessica tearing off a padlock with her hands, her powers were really inconsistent and horribly executed. All her super jumps were a close up of her feet jumping, then a cheap looking cut away to her scrambling onto a rooftop; all the fights didn't look like a very powerful person dominating normals but rather bad wire work and stuntmen over selling it. I think the actress for Jones just isn't very naturally athletic and it makes it hard to buy. Jessica isn't a trained fighter. She pretty much gets her rear end handed to her the few times she goes up against powered individuals and I'd be pissed if she did become a unarmed combat master halfway through the season because that isn't who Jessica is.

Hollismason posted:They should let Patsy Walker cross over with Doctor Strange in the film, but they're not. I'll be kind of aggravated if they don't put Luke Cage in the Avengers film that's coming up. I know Matthew Cox said his contract said he is obligated to appear on the feature side if Marvel asks. I would assume Ritter and Coulter's contract say similar things. But thematically, I think both Jess and Luke are a long way away from even appearing in the Defenders, which is the most non-team team in the Marvel Universe. They started as someone who kept their heads down and weren't heroes, kept getting hosed over every time they tried. They have no reason to stick their necks out on this.

I'm not comfortable calling Jessica an anti-hero. To me, an anti-hero is someone like Walter White. Or more close to home in comics, Punisher or Scourge of the Underworld. They are doing bad things for good intentions but still ultimately recognize that they are bad things. And they don't even consider the non-bad-thing option unless forced to. I wouldn't go so far as to say Jessica is a hero at this point either. I think she's selfish, and I don't think the events of the show will cause her to be any less selfish. She's trying to do good with good intentions but often goes about it in a hosed up, go it alone way because of her trust issues and PTSD. To me, an anti-hero would've immedietly jumped to "kill the fucker" but Jessica fights that option for the longest time. Publicly she says it is because of Hope but I don't think that's entirely the reason. I don't think she's a killer at heart and she only gets to that option after every other plan has gone to complete poo poo.

Gyges posted:No, it happened later after her and Luke were officially an item. I kind of want them to cover that part of her story later because it's a big part of her "healing" arc where she sort of works through her Killgrave baggage. Well the Spider-Man rights are now shared between Sony and Marvel. But I have no desire to see that. That was such a disappointing issue. Now that it was bad but to see the Goblin taken down publicly and Spider-Man wasn't the one to do it but rather Cage and Jones.

I'm expecting Dexter, True Blood level of edge and they failed. Dexter's nudity was largely gratuitous. You'd get a shot of Badass Cop loving a woman just so they could show tits and it'd do nothing to advance the plot. Also I was really concerned that JJs showrunner was involved in Dexter but thank God the Dexter stink didn't follow her to this show.

^^^Simpson even mentions the gun he gave Trish isn't legal.Gyges posted:It seemed like either the incident that caused Simpson to leave or one that happened before he left. The way the doctor said After Fallujah(or was it another place?) seemed like it was a big thing with Simpson. Which is interesting since the whole military drug experiments and Killgrave control make Simpson have parallels with both Luke and Jessica. I honestly question if he ever was a cop. Detective-Too-Old-For-This-poo poo doesn't seem to recognize him at all, and the only other cop we even see him with was one of "His Boys".

Barry Convex posted:Sarandos clarified that JJ S2's timing depends on Defenders (which is contractually obligated to begin production by a certain date), so it sounds like it's a ways off. The producers of "Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23" have been toying around with a Christmas/one off special and mentioned that filming it would have to be precise because Ritter is expected to return to film for JJ sometime later this year. I kind of doubt she'd be returning to film Defenders since Iron Fist hasn't been cast yet, but they could also film JJ S2 this year and just have it in the can to air whenever assuming Iron Fist and Defenders are going to be airing in 2017.
