In the name of full disclosure I have to admit that I don’t recall having seen a full episode of DC Universe’s – I mean HBOMax’s – Titans, based on the characters introduced in the Teen Titans comic. Though that’s not because I didn’t try, but because the show is so murky that it doesn’t […]
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; […]
For awhile I was worried about Netflix cancelling Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil (more than likely to be followed by The Punisher and Jessica Jones) but after seeing the first season of The Umbrella Academy, a new series based on the Dark Horse comic of the same name, I’m a bit more comfortable because […]
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 […]
Take this with a shaker of salt, but according to Josh Wilding at Comicbookmovie, part of the reason Netflix has cancelled Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil has less to do with ratings than it does with the fact that Netflix wanted to decrease the length of a season. And while that doesn’t quite seem […]
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 […]
Marvel Television, unlike their stablemates at Marvel Studios are very hit and miss as far as translating their characters goes. So far–when they’ve dealt with ‘street-level’ characters like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, they’ve been relatively successful. The problems arise when they try to tackle characters that exist is a more […]
While Marvel Studios’ Black Panther literally tears through box office records Marvel Television–the arm of Marvel Entertainment that handles television projects–is doing…okay. They’ve got four shows on Netflix (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage and the The Defenders), one on Hulu (Runaways), one coming up on Freeform (Cloak and Dagger) and another on ABC (Agents […]
Marvel Television, as far as I can tell, is in a bind entirely of their own making. While I enjoy the series that have done thus far–with a particular emphasis on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.–I do feel a certain reluctance on their parts to embrace the fantastic wholeheartedly (which is an interesting, though odd, problem […]
‘You look like an idiot,’ said Jessica Jones, as she and Matt Murdock walked down the immaculately white hallway, their very gait daring anyone to get in their way. Murdock, a devil without a costume; wore a grey cloth around the upper half of his face, responded tersely. ‘Your scarf.’ I had little doubt in […]
