or even captain america. his costume in the first avengers just looks kinda silly. it should be a suit not a cosplay. thankfully they rectified it in later movies.
Don't get me wrong, Hellcat's costume would absolutely not work in the Jessica Jones scenario... I just reckon there could be better way's to reference it. I suppose the street clothes and scarf she wears is a reference in itself given its yellow and blue colourscheme.
I watched the first episode, found it incredibly boring up until the cliffhanger that was just ok. Hogarth seems more compelling in this show than JJ. Her faux brooding is so boring and uninteresting.
I hated that scene because it was sooooo drawn out. I don't mind it being a dig, but they just went out of their way to do it. Could have shown her displease in the yellow costume in so many other ways that would have keep the flow of the episode better.
I didn't dislike Season 3 in any sense of the word but I feel that it had a big problem with Spoiler justifying Jessica's refusal to use lethal force on Salinger. While she had compelling reasons not to kill Season 1 and 2's serial killers, falling back on "it would make me a bad guy too" doesn't really work when Jessica has killed before in extreme circumstances. I also don't really love where Trish ended up. Ending with Jessica getting her locked up in The Raft seems like a rather dark end for the character. I know that no one got happy endings but still... I suppose while I'm at it I may as well complain that the Hogarth plot took WAY too long to actually become intertwined with the main story. I know it was to get her to the point where she'd be desperate enough to represent Salinger but it too a while to get there and was uninteresting until that point.
Yeah, so that could have taken just 8 episodes - Hogarth was completely pointless. It seems the writers don't know what to do with most of the characters.
Just finished finished JJ S3. Got off to a rough start but from episode 8 or 9 onwards it was very enjoyable. The ending couple of episodes were quite good........and sad (but in a good way). There was a good sense of closure for everything(even if it was sad closure) but that's appropriate for a show like this. Thought it was a solid way for Marvel Netflix to go out. I'm honestly not gonna have much use for netflix now since the marvel shows are done, most of the movies that I would want to watch I own on blu ray and of course Disney +.
Finally watched the last season of Punisher. What a whole lot of gobblydygook silly nonsense to pull off a plot that, realistically, could have been fit into a standard length movie, if perhaps a little more. TONS of unnecessary filler and garbage nobody could possibly care about just to get a few minutes here or there of the plot actually going somewhere. My wife tells me there was tons happening at all times on every episode, and while that may be true, if you were hoping for an overall plot arc that carries from episode to episode to actually make progress every episode, it was really disappointing. That final scene was a joke, right? They couldn't possible have shoe-horned in a more ridiculously stupid tagline scene if they tried. We watched one episode of the last season of Jessica Jones and if my wife didn't love it we probably wouldn't watch another. I think I'm just burnt out on the whole Netflix Marvelverse. Very little of it outside of Daredevil ever did much for me. So much of it felt like wasted potential where you'd see little glimpses of brilliance and then be beat over the head with four more hours of filler and nonsense. Overall, I'm kinda glad it's ending.
Ah, pandering in such a way that it totally negates the premise of the entire season for a nod from the comic fans. Perfect cap to a Netflix show. It just didn't fit the tone or arc in any way, shape, or form. No build up, no pay off, just a shoehorned image of "OMG! BADASS!" Such a waste.
Finished JJ S3 last night. I thought it was pretty good. Kind of Spoiler hated that they made Hellcat evil so quick. Should have drawn it out more. Overall I will miss these shows, at least a little. Sure, they had all kinds of problems, but they were the only (mostly) uncensored "adult oriented" superhero shows we have ever really gotten. Maybe Disney will give us something similar one day, but probably not anytime soon.
I hope that Disney+ doing their MCU not follow Netflix's shitty formula. These are comic book characters that needs action and good plot to draw you in. If I wanted to watch a 13 episode drama show then there are plenty of day time soap opera and Shonda Rhimes shitty shows for that.
LUKE CAGE Showrunner Reveals That Season 3 Would Have Brought Power Man "Full Circle" "I can't on the record talk about what we had planned because, contractually, you know, I still don't want any Marvel assassins coming out of the woodwork to try to take me out. [Laughs] But what I can say is that we had a very good season planned, and it was one that I think would have brought Luke Cage as a character full circle." "You see people online that were like, ‘Oh my god, I turned Luke into a gangster.’ They wouldn't be [saying that] if they had the opportunity to see all three seasons and see the directions Luke would have gone," Coker confirms. "I was always a Luke Cage fan, but I was probably, ultimately, a Chris Claremont, Frank Miller, Wolverine, X-Men Golden Era comic book fan, you know?" "And it wasn't until Brian Michael Bendis rebooted Luke Cage within Jessica Jones - that [I felt liberated to] approach established characters within the Luke Cage universe from a different perspective."
They did? Ugh. Now i'm glad I dumped it after a few episodes. Spoiler I hate it when a show turns a good comic hero evil.
Yeah man, like, we totes were gonna do exactly the opposite of what everybody thought and make the show so much better if they would have just let us keep going. We totes weren't gonna add fuel to the dumpster fire. Totes!
