I think Marvel Studios is preventing them from doing that. Rachel McAdams character from Doctor Strange is technically the Night Nurse from the comics.Isgrimnur wrote:Just start calling her Night Nurse and be done with it.

Re: Marvel's Netflix serieses
Watched the trailer last night. I can understand your trepidation, but I guess I'm just an Iron Fist fanboy. I have many a fond memory of bonding over Power Man and Iron Fist comics as a kid with my little brother. Heroes for Hire, Ghost Rider and Legion of Superheroes (on the DC side) were our favorites. We spent quite a few afternoons perched on the stools at a local drug store that sold comics AND had an old style root beer soda machine.tru1cy wrote:Iron Fist trailer. Not sure I''m feeling this yet.
I doubt even the appearance of ninjas in the series will make me hate Iron Fist.
...although if it's a LOT of ninjas, I might.

I cruised through DD S1, JJ and DD S2, but I have been slowed to a crawl on Luke Cage. I think I am 4 or 5 episodes in after about three weeks. I really liked the character in Jessica Jones, but he doesn't do it for me on his own.

The real draw of Luke Cage is the environment he walks through. At least until Copperhead shows up.

Re: Marvel's Netflix serieses
Exactly how I felt. The push through to the end I think is worth it only because it sets up the rest of the shows. That being said, I like it better than Jessica Jones. He was the best part of that series, but oddly enough he wasn't as compelling in his own. Looking forward to seeing everyone link up in the future, however. It'll be interesting to see how Jessica Jones and Matt Murdock interact, as they seem to be opposite sides of the coin, so to speak.coopasonic wrote:I cruised through DD S1, JJ and DD S2, but I have been slowed to a crawl on Luke Cage.

I'm only three episodes in, but so far it's... not very good. The unintentional slo-mo whenever Sigourney has to do ninja things is cringe-worthy.

I'm through four episodes and it's started to pick up. The first few were a bit slow and heavy on the exposition, but I thought the third and fourth episodes were good. The fighting scenes haven't been as well orchestrated or directed as in Daredevil, but they're better than the few clips of Iron Fist I watched.

Re: Marvel's Netflix serieses
Saying that a show is "picking up" in later episodes doesn't mean it is good. The Defenders is almost entirely cringeworthy crap. The extras (Foggy, Trish, and Karen) were thankfully locked in a room most of the time except for the occasional cameo. Daredevil is left quoting Luke Skywalker talking about how he sees the good in someone. The cops are little more than caricatures hardly worthy of even being called Keystone Cops. Danny has neither learned how to act nor fight since the Iron Fist series.

I thought it was great. Jessica Jones is still my favorite Marvel show, but I enjoyed this a lot. I really think they should stick with eight episode lengths for all of the Marvel shows. Way less padding.

Re: Marvel's Netflix serieses
My only criticism through five episodes (other than the general presence of the Iron Fist) is that there seem to be way too many deus-ex-machina, guys being saved by people arrive just in time. I think I counted it happening three times in just one episodes.

I have to say the actor who plays Rand gets a lot of flak but honestly the outrage should be reserved for the writers. They have done a terrible job of writing for that role. I almost feel sorry for Finn Jones because I don't know how you could possibly get anything buy a crap performance out of what he is given. My other problem with the series is that I thought that they would embrace their powers more as a group than they did. I was hoping for something a bit more epic but I do understand that they are trying to stay a bit more grounded. Finally, is their fight choreography so bad that they refuse to put a fight scene under some actual light? It seemed that, with a few minor exceptions, every important fight was in the dark or in shadow.
I thought Defenders was decent but I was hoping for better.
Well do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense?
Or that everybody's on the stage and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience?

Re: Marvel's Netflix serieses
I thought The Defenders was an enjoyable, short series. I would have thought it would have been as long as the other Netflix Marvel series were, but I heard Marvel wanted this done in a hurry. The shortness of it was appealing to some as in the above comments, but since this was the result of the buildup of all the other series, they should have taken the time to develop the story a bit more.
Danny was far and away the worst of the characters, which is a shame because he was kind of the linchpin of the group and his presence was necessary for the story to develop at all.

One episode in and I'm already disappointed with Iron Fist. Everyone else is okay...just okay...but Iron Fist still remains the weakest link in the Netflix/Marvel chain. They should just replace the actor in the middle of season 2 of Iron Fist and see if anyone really cares...or even notices.

Re: Marvel's Netflix serieses
I finished the Iron Fist. Liked it better than Luke Cage. The first seven episodes were very good, and I was hopeful for a great second half. Ward and his father are really good. The Iron Fist guy is ok. Unfortunately, the second half was off the rails and turned me off. Not super bad, but not as good as the first half. Marvel/Netflix needs to step it up in story telling. They have the effects down of course, just need a darn good story from start to finish. I also think they should intertwine the series more. Need better writers and don't cut down on the number of episodes!
Last comment. The majority of the women in Luke Cage and the Iron Fist are too stale. Very boring when they are in the scenes.
Daredevil is by far the best series. Jessica Jones is second best. Now onto Defenders...

Re: Marvel's Netflix serieses
So watched episode 1 of Defenders. Just an observation...i thought it was pretty cool how each of hte main characters when it was there story arc was done in the hue of their individual series. IE in Daredevil its kind of a mahogany red, and you see those colors in the backgrounds; luke cage's is kind of a sunny yellow and background colors reflect that..wallpaper & overhanging lights; while jessica jones was in a purplish hue. That was kind of cool i thought. The final scene of episode when the quake happens also has the a background of those colors shifting and melding together. Have to rewatch the scene. But it was kind of like...alright we're gonna shake things up here and brings these folks together.

The Defenders Is Least-Watched Marvel Series Launch on Netflix in the US
In the United States, The Defenders garnered fewer viewers in its first 30 days than any of Netflix's other original Marvel series.
Based on benchmark analysis from marketing-analytics firm Jumpshot, The Defenders had 17 percent of the viewership that Season 2 of Daredevil (Netflix's most-viewed Marvel show) had in its first 30 days, Variety reports. It's worth noting the research was limited to Netflix subscribers in the US who watched at least one episode of each show.
The Defenders also suffered the largest week-over-week drop in viewers when compared to the other Netflix Marvel series. Its viewership dropped by 67 percent from its first to second week, 48 percent from its second to third, and 41 percent from its third to fourth.

Re: Marvel's Netflix serieses
We just finished the Iron Fist last week and I'd agree it was weak as hell - probably something they could have cut down to 6 or 8 episodes. Haven't watched the Defenders yet, but I do think there is some spandex fatigue going on. I'm a huge fan of all this comic book nonsense and even I'm feeling overwhelmed and disinterested at some of the stuff that's just starting out this month on the other channels.
That being said, I am excited for The Punisher, though I do wonder how he's going to play with casual fans. He's...not a nice guy. Then again, maybe because he's so different than what's currently available for entertainment, he might do well.
