Seasons dragging out slower over a few too many episodes was def the main issue with the Netflix shows

 

Well, it allowed us a chance to have Jess fight Nuke and all the Cage stuff so I don't want to sound like nothing good came from more episodes, but my point is more that Robyn exists less as a character and more as a plot device. She's just so unlikeable.

 

RIP New Warriors

 

What does it mean

 

Either the film will end with them becoming the New Avengers or it's just a joke because no one but Red Guardian likes the name. Either way, it's indicating it's temporary.

 

I think they’ll be the “New Avengers” by the end of the film. Not sure if they’ll be officially called “New Avengers” or simply “Avengers” but they will be chosen by the government to carry some sort of Avengers name and it will make them the first to charge into battle at the beginning of Doomsday.

Thunderbolts will be mentioned but will never be the actual name of the team

 

I thought the running theory was Dark Avengers?

 

They could go with that name, but ‘Dark Avengers’ sounds a little goofy. “We are the Dark Avengers” would be meme material. I’d put it behind ‘New Avengers’ and ‘Avengers’ in terms of possibility.

 

Yeah, I don't think they would willingly call themselves Dark Avengers since they're trying to actually be good guys, even if they are anti-heroes. It's not even that it's too comic-booky, it's too "I'm still going through my goth phase in high school".

 

Yeah in the comics, the Dark Avengers didn't run around calling themselves that. They were just the new "official" Avengers

 

Jessica Jones: Calling Kilgrave's powers a virus was a mistake the more I think about it.

It makes absolutely no sense from a biological standpoint and it makes Jessica's immunity unnecessarily harder to explain, not to mention his power boost towards the end.

It's a perfect example of overanswering a question. They could have excised that factoid and it would have changed absolutely nothing.

 

Reminds me of them trying to give Pym Particles a grounded explanation in Ant-Man when all that really did was highlight the stuff that very clearly shouldn't work

 

Bye

 

Haven't seen the film yet but having someone like "Kraven" as the main hero was not a good idea. Not enough people know who he is (as opposed to other Spiderman villains) and the film itself (judging by the trailer) doesn't feel like a "superhero" film.

 

Finished rewatching Jessica Jones Season 1. Tomorrow begins Daredevil Season 2!

 

Just about done with Luke Cage season 1. I’ve only ever seen through The Defenders, so I’m looking forward to seeing the majority for the first time. I think my only issue so far is that every season (outside of maybe Daredevil season 2) could easily have done fine with 8 or 9 episodes, rather than 13.

 

Very true

 

I don't agree with the criticism about the episode count because then it becomes a question of what to cut out, and I can never think of much at all that I'd want to leave on the cutting room floor.

Case in point, my criticisms above of Robyn are more about the decision to make her weird and unlikeable as a character and not necessarily her being a spanner in the works.

 

Just finished DD S2

Frank Castle is the clear spotlight

 

Wait. What? I don't know what's more shocking, the fact that he's coming back or the fact that his character didn't die.

 

Oh. Okay. Weird.
