Johnny Sorrow Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Reading that Jingus, and I'm sure many others, had to LOOK UP Patsy/ Hellcat makes me feel REALLY old. 4
Cliff Hanger Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 It feels really weird to suddenly realize that the first story with Patsy I ever read was the Tbolts rescuing her from Hell, and everything before that I read was stuff I picked up later.
Brian Fowler Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 As long as we're on this topic, has anyone actually read the old Patsy Walker or Patsy & Heddy books?
Bustronaut Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 They're pretty generic teen/romance books. Nothing really to write home about
odessasteps Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 They're pretty generic teen/romance books. Nothing really to write home about Yeah, Archie with different characters.
J.H. Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 "Archie with different characters" translates to "Archie without Juhghead, and thus inferior" to me James 1
TheVileOne Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I think Jessica Jones does lose a lot of steam in about it's last four or five episodes. I think the plot got a little derailed and the writers let it get away from them. At least with Daredevil, I got the sense they were basically doing like a film version of a really awesome graphic novel and could adapt every single chapter. I still think the show is better than Powers, but it reminded me of how overwrought Powers got in its final act of the first season. Also that subplot with the twin neighbors getting so much screen time was beyond ridiculous. At least when Ben Urich had a subplot going on with Daredevil, he was a character significant to what was going on with the main plot.
MADCAP Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Hey my man, not being a dick, but you coulda spoilered some of that shit. Some of us are still at the first few episodes.
Stennick Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I didn't think I said anything spoilerly and I was purposely vague but no big deal. I edited it 1
The Unholy Dragon Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I totally fucking forgot Powers is a thing that exists and has a complete season out. That Playstation deal may not have been the best.
Cliff Hanger Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 And yet, somehow it got a second season while Yahoo took a huge bath on Community. I don't understand.
TheVileOne Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 And yet, somehow it got a second season while Yahoo took a huge bath on Community. I don't understand. Not sure about the budgets, but maybe a season of Powers on PSN is cheaper than Community on Yahoo! at this point? I mean, Also, Sony TV producing it for PlayStation Network probably saved them some money. Also when you think about it, there about 30 million PlayStation owners right now. And Powers is original content you can deliver to them almost directly in between gaming. So that's a solid viewership base to market to right off the bat. Tying back into Marvel TV, with Netflix, I imagine they are able to monetize the Marvel/ABC deal, and the four shows of about 60 episodes were budgeted at a total of $200 million. I imagine Netflix tries to look at, did their subscriber base have a boost at all when Daredevil or Jessica Jones premiered? Did people who got a free week stay on as a subscriber, etc.
The Unholy Dragon Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 And yet, somehow it got a second season while Yahoo took a huge bath on Community. I don't understand. Per Harmon that's down to him not wanting to do more right now and maybe wanting S6 to be the final ending. Yahoo has apparently given him carte blanche to do more either with a season seven or a movie.
TheVileOne Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Harmon should forget about Community and focus on good shows like Rick and Morty. 1
odessasteps Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I didnt realize powers got another season until i heard wil wheaton talk about filming it.
Spritenaut 32 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Harmon should forget about Community and focus on good shows like Rick and Morty. Lol, I often feel like the only person going who doesn't get Community and actively dislikes it. Obviously, that's not true. The ratings consistently indicated most people were apathetic to Community, or maybe simply unaware it existed. My wife is an uber-fan and got me to watch the NBC seasons with her, so I've seen most of the episodes. I'm assuming it's a decent show since it has a sizable, rapid fanbase, but I get it not at all. I think I laughed a bit at the GI Joe episode, but every other ep was completely laugh-free for me. I have come around on Rick and Morty, though. 1
Stennick Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Has there been any more news on the next Neflix show? First I heard it was going to be a Cage/Iron Fist team up show. Then everything I read said it was going to be two separate shows. Now that Daredevil took off its already filming/filmed its second season and I still can't find any news on if there is going to be a Cage/Fist show at all.
EVA Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Cage show is in production. Iron Fist is either off completely or being turned into a movie.
Matt D Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Iron Fist is still on. Loeb said that they just wanted Jessica Jones to drop before giving any info on it. 1
odessasteps Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 If they do Bru/Fraction Iron Fist, much better as tv show than movie
Brian Fowler Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Allegedly, they are casting Danny Rand right now from what I read the other day. It's always been DD/JJ/Cage/Fist though there were rumors recently Iron Fist might get scrapped, those were soundly denied. Then Defenders after all that.
The Unholy Dragon Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Probably DD S2, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Defenders in that order. With some flex. But Rosenburg said Jessica Jones S2 will likely be held off until post-Defenders so...yeah. With any luck we get the first three next year with Defenders taking DD's April spot.
