Finished Daredevil. Amazing television. Unreal!

Apparently Disney are looking to develop a Falcon/Winter Soldier TV series which will go on their new streaming service. Likely to be written by Malcolm Spellman (Empire).

Unlike the previously announced Scarlet Witch and Loki shows, this one will be executive produced by Kevin Feige. So possibly stronger links with the films? Agent Carter is the only other show he's been on.

Watched daredevil season 3. Wow just wow. No other Marvel shows even come close to daredevil. Great acting by Fisk a d Bullseye. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

I finished season 2 on Friday and I wholeheartedly take back any moaning I did about the early episodes of the season. I loved it and even grew to like Elektra as the series went on.

I have trouble with the scenes that Karen Page is in as Deborah Ann Woll has a staggeringly plain beauty about her and i find it hard to concentrate. Always thought her and Frank may have got it on but I don't think Castle is in to all that stuff.

Aside from being very nice, Karen Page is a great character too and is a perfect show balancer amongst all the other carnage.

Can't wait to start season 3 and some full on Fisk action.

Have you seen the Punisher series? There's some Frank and Karen scenes.

Just finished season 3 of DD. Thought it was a great series overall, but thought the ending was a little weak with no real build up to the last episode. Kind of all just happened in the last episode and felt a little rushed.

Great series overall though. Hope this one don't get cancelled!

Reports coming out that Stan Lee has passed away.

Loads of conflicting stories though so unsure if true.

He died today at the age of 95. RIP.

It breaks our hearts to inform you that the absolutely legendary Marvel creator Stan Lee has passed away. RIP and Excelsior to a true hero

Looks like it's true.

So glad he was alive to see the MCU get to where it has. No bigger legacy has seen the recovery Marvel comics has had

Excelsior!!

From what is being said online he did do a cameo for Avengers 4 but unsure on if he did one for Captain Marvel.

I hope they keep some sort of tribute to him in films going forward. Even if it is just Easter eggs.

From what I heard last year he filmed a bunch of ones in a row so I imagine he's got a few left at least.

Really liked Daredevil's season 3. Was easy to be better than the second one but I believe this one stands on its own and could be my favourite one so far. A bit over the top with the corruption but still an enjoyable watch.

Spoiler

That psycho Dex brought his frozen love interest along in the car. That actually happened. I was laughing out loud when I saw it.

Yeah pretty much, season 3 picks up directly where Defenders left off and a lot happened between Matt and Elektra during Defenders.

Quote from: Zlen on October 21, 2018, 05:40:44 pm

Ah shit.
That's why the start of S3 felt strange.
Ah well, ain't going back to Defenders now as I'm on episode 4 of S3, may as well plow on.

Exactly the same for me. I'm half way through DD3 and loving it but kept thinking back to the very start of the series and couldn't get my head around it.

Had a mooch through this thread for answers and found them.

Ah well, will watch Defenders after DD3 and treat it as a Prequel

Well even with all the changes and the fact it got a PG-13 rating in America, the BBFC gave the version a 15 rating for the UK release

I had little interest in seeing this, probably back of the seat viewing at best.

Sepinwall says they're done. The properties will almost certainly be used but likely starting over. No room on this Disney service for R rated content apparently.

It seems like it's perfect timing for everybody. Netflix want only in-house content and Disney want their guys back so both companies are happy. Only losers are fans of the shows and obviously the cast and crew.

AndyMuller · « **Reply #4394 on:** November 30, 2018, 07:56:30 am »

Shit that like. Surely Jessica Jones and Punisher will be done once their final seasons are released?

Alan Sepinwall@sepinwall
S3 was the best Netflix/Marvel season in quite some time, which I wrote about here https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-features/daredevil-season-3-review-748714/ … But it's clear this partnership is doomed as Disney focuses on its own streaming service, while Netflix hasn't been happy (justifiably) with the creative on these shows.

Sorry but what are Disney's guys you're talking about, Claus?

PhilV · « **Reply #4396 on:** November 30, 2018, 10:14:52 am »

I don't understand why companies are so adamant on pushing their own streaming services, someone else already has it all setup and ready to go, pay them a small fee and you can reach a much wider audience... what's to gain by having your own streaming service and forcing people to pay for yet another, separate subscription service?

This is why people pirate/torrent.

Disney are now the biggest TV and film studios in the world. The whole point of the Fox deal was to give them a back catalogue of content for their streaming service. So while I agree with you in general, and I don't fancy paying yet another tenner a month, it makes more sense for Disney than anyone else.

Having their own system means they can produce whatever they want, without having to meet the demands of a third party. They can take things in any direction they like.

It will be interesting to see if they are willing to associate the Disney name with edgy or adult material, or if they just want to put out safe, neutral, kid friendly stuff.

Does anyone know if the cancelled shows will continue to be available on Netflix? I'm miles behind on every Marvel show. Be a pisser if i turn it on one day and they are gone.
