Certain parts of the world Netflix doesn’t workand its services are actually kept out of the people’s hands via blocks and laws.
That being said, by itself it sounds awesome, attached to the Defenders name, I think it is lame… fuck the budget, fuck Fox having ownership of Silver Surfer (and maybe Namor) and fuck Hulk already being on the Avengers, I wanted to see classic Defenders antagonists such as the Xenmu or the Head men.
You know he will go on Facebook and rant, and eventually still watch it and start praising the work. Nerd cycle in effect.
I would dig a Punisher series as well if it was stand alone, I think it could work well. Moon Knight would be sweet of course. But I think they have most angles covered already with what they have.
Excited to see Daredevil, he has a great list of villains to use and the atmosphere would be great.
So I guess after Disney bit the bullet a few months ago and added their animated flicks to Netflix they really we’re probably the ones to push this. Their movies have been in the top viewed since they were introduced. They probably knew that “underground tv buff” and comic reader crowd would eat this up and it’s really low risk. But I hope Bendis has a big say and will approve the writing/casting.
how would you wanna play off nightwing? is he part of the batverse or no? supertroll is saying that the flash actor for arrow is goin to be the actor for the movie. so do we establish nightwing as part of the bigger dc film universe?
Punisher War Zone was pretty accurate to Garth Ennis’ Punisher runs, I enjoyed it but I liked the Thomas Jane one more myself. I still think Marvel can do better with that franchise and a television show may be a good way of doing it.
I am pretty damn sure they will have a cross promotion show for Heroes for Hire in the Luke Cage and Iron Fist series to test the waters before jumping the gun. Like Part one in one show, part two in the other. I think they can each hold an individual series well enough to not merge them so soon.
i can see more associated but arrow def has his ties to the league in lady shiva. which is why i felt like this version of arrow resembles more of connor.
Problem with that is you lose their individual mythos. I hate the idea of cramming their origin stories and character development into a few episodes for the sake of a H4H series that could easily come later on.
In the Immortal Iron Fist series alone you get a lot of Kun Lun history, Rand family revelations and the friggin’ IMMORTAL WEAPONS - who you can center an entire 13 episode season around if you wanted.
