Shanester Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Cool, i hope they actually materialize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Cool, although I haven't enjoyed Agents of SHIELD this has potential to be a lot better. I'm thinking Defenders will be in name only, not the Defenders we know. Sounds like it's basically going to be a Heroes for Hire show with these characters.

Shanester Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm the same with Agents of Shield. I just can't get wowed by it. Daredevil? yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Yeah, I don't see this becoming the Defenders I know from the comics, unfortunately. Maybe they will still be wacky and dysfunctional, though. I haven't seen any of the Agents of SHIELD episodes yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Daredevil has the potential to be a very very good show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMage Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm more excited about Iron Fist and Luke Cage. We finally get to add more to the mystical aspect of the Marvel movie-verse. Will this tie in with the movies at all, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I have always thought Daredevil would make an excellent tv series. I love the idea of 4 separate series for these characters, coming together for a mini-series. This must be the rumored series that Marvel has been shopping around.

stack32 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yeah, I think Daredevil could work extremely well, especially since they can balance out the cost of special effects and stunts with courtroom scenes. My only concern out of all the series is that Iron Fist's origin and story might get short changed for budget reasons. Still, it's great news and something that would have seemed completely crazy not all that long ago. Hope they keep it all part of the MCU.

Donny B Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I wonder if they're going to go with Ray Parks for Iron Fist, like he was rumored to be about 10 years ago...This seems like extremely cool news, and definitely solidifies Netflix as a serious player in the industry (not that it was hard to see it coming). Disney doesn't back stuff like this unless they're confident in it (it reminds me of the HD/bluray war that was essentially declared 'over' once Disney chose to back bluray)I like how Marvel is doing some unconventional and ambitious things like this. With the debate of how soon the Marvel movie bubble will burst, it's good knowing that Marvel is thinking outside of the box with new properties (like GOTG) and diversifying their delivery options (Theatrical releases, then standard tv, now Netflix) ... I'm very interested in seeing where they take things next.And personally, I'm thinking Jessica Jones' series might prove to be my favorite. I've been intrigued by the idea ever since I first heard about them shopping it around... Though for the moment, I'm most excited about the potential with a Daredevil series. I can't wait to see how they weave the shows together. I love the long play with this type of thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 The only thing that has me worried is that this is being produced by ABC and Marvel Television. Netflix's original shows have been outta this world good. Agents of SHIELD is shockingly bad (and I'm past of the built in audience). Hopefully Netflix will be able to steer the ship to get these shows in line with the other quality shows they air. If there's not a significant step up from AoS, Marvel TV well have lost me.

stack32 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Shockingly bad? Seriously? I'm not quite ready to play the casting game yet, but I'm pretty sure Ray Park is much older than they would want for Iron Fist. I do think it would be a really good idea to have someone with some martial arts experience, or at least a willingness to put in a lot of time so they could do stunt work.

Turtle Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Every time I watch it, I'm shocked that it's as bad as it is. I'm trying to give it a chance, and I keep expecting it to get better... but it continues to fail. For me, at least. If you're into it, I'm glad.

MiniFiend UK Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 As long as they actually have costumes for DD, Ironfist etc I'l be into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Anyone else see a Punisher arc in Daredevil and a Doctor Strange one in Iron Fist? It's kinda amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
