For fans of Marvel Television and their work with Netflix, ComicCon 2016 is as close to nirvana as you’re likely to get because that’s where they premiered the teaser trailer for The Defenders, a street-level super team in the vein of the Avengers. They will consist of Daredevil (which has been renewed for a third […]
“There was always this glorious darkness inside of you.” –Elektra Nachios Elektra (Elodie Yung) has re-entered Matt’s life, and he’s not particularly glad to see her (which is understandable considering how they parted. Besides, she also is a bit nuts. It’s an interesting take on the character, in that she doesn’t appear particularly noble–like in the comics–more […]
The first season of Marvel’s Daredevil had a huge hurdle to overcome. When Fox released the 2003 movie based on the character, he was treated pretty much as a red-suited Spider-Man, which anyone familiar to the character could tell you isn’t the way to go.

Originally Jessica Jones was offered to ABC, and I can’t imagine why they passed on it. Sure, they would have to tone down on the cursing and the sexual situations, but other than that?
This episode we catch a glimpse into Jessica Jones’s past, and it goes without saying that she was as much as a pain-in-the-ass back then as she currently is.
Jessica Jones gets closer to Luke Cage, and thinks that she knows a way to nullify Kilgrave’s abilities, so she tries to enlist the aid of various people in her life. Which, it goes without saying, doesn’t quite go as planned. This episode is also the first time we hear Cage say “Sweet Christmas,” and […]
When words like ‘dark’ were used to describe Netflix’s upcoming Marvel series, Jessica Jones, I assumed that they were mainly referring to their last entry, Daredevil. Looking at the new trailer, I have to say that they’re definitely kicking things up a few notches. From what I could see, it looks like Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) is […]
