This weekend–after taking advantage of a free month of Hulu–I caught Guillermo Del Toro’s The Strain and it was pretty good which only fell short of remarkable because the fourth season felt truncated (According to shorrunner/director Carlton Cuse Del Toro actually had plans for a fifth season, which would have given what ended up being […]
The official trailer for Marvel’s Jessica Jones dropped a few days ago and it’s pretty good though the problem is that going in you know that this is the last season (and if you didn’t before reading this, you do now). No matter how good the third and final season is it’s going to end; […]
This is a great teaser though the problem is that it’s fairly common knowledge that Netflix has terminated their relationship with Marvel Television, so this is the last season of Jessica Jones, no matter where the narrative was taking her. I don’t know what’s behind the bad blood between Netflix and Marvel Television but I […]
In news that’s probably no surprise to anyone, Netflix has cancelled its two remaining Marvel Television series, The Punisher and Jessica Jones. As I’ve said before, whatever the reasons Netflix is cancelling it’s Marvel shows, ratings are only a part of the story (how could they know the trajectory of Jessica Jones, which was successful […]
Admittedly, most petitions of this nature are a waste of time, such as the effort to release the Zach Snyder cut of Justice League. First, there’s no evidence such a thing actually exists (there was likely an assembly cut of the movie shown to Warner Bros executives at various times, to give them an idea where […]
I’ve stated my concerns about Marvel Television’s The Punisher recently in reference to the teaser trailer released just a day or so ago and my feelings haven’t at all changed with the release of the full trailer. In other words Jon Bernthal is a great Punisher though I get the feeling this series is not […]
With a second season of Marvel’s The Punisher (as well as a third of Jessica Jones) coming I’m mildly apprehensive about it’s chances. Not because of issues of watchability–though all the Marvel series on Netflix tend to run three episodes too many–but because of what from the outside looks like some sort of power struggle […]
You thought that with the cancellation of Daredevil on Netflix that that story was over, didn’t you? At least I did, till I learned that–according to Frosty Weintraub at Collider–has heard that the show was canceled not because of Netflix, but Marvel Television! If you take into account that supposedly the ratings of Netflix were […]
And speaking of content, the title of this article–while to the point–is blander than it perhaps deserves. And speaking of articles Forbes has just published one claiming to know why Netflix has cancelled it’s Marvel shows (out of five only two, Jessica Jones and The Punisher, remain). And to be honest I don’t expect either […]
And I don’t mean in a new season of The Defenders because, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix had just cancelled Marvel’s Daredevil. This is particularly odd because Season Three of the Charlie Cox-led series was arguably the strongest season yet though more than anything else it makes me really curious about how they determine […]
