Method of Madness:
Have you not seen Flash/Arrow or the Netflix Marvel shows? The answer is "surprisingly good".

Honestly I think we're in a good place for television superheroics on the level of Spiderman. It would not be as cheesy as their attempts decades ago. While most of the live action super hero shows lately have been pretty down to earth, well trained normals or people who have easy to show super powers like 'able to bounce bullets and lift cars'. However, some villains and secondary characters and the Flash himself show that there is potential for a weekly superhero television show that doesn't look terrible.
The problem more lies in the confusing rights, interest and permissions of Spiderman. I think that Sony still holds the rights to all video representation of the Spider Man character and related characters. And they have no real interest in doing anything with it other than putting out movies to fulfill their minimum requirements on the contract that gives them the right to keep the character from going back to Marvel Studios. It's surprising to me that they are letting Marvel use him for the Avengers film franchise. But I think we won't see any kind of live television show until such time Marvel manages to pry the rights fully back from Sony.

--- Quote from: Gladstone on 02 Dec 2015, 18:56 ---Especially since Marvel wanted a very young Spider-Man, and a TV show would give Tom Holland more time to play young high school-aged Peter Parker before "aging out" of the role. Not that he can't age, it's just that being a teenager is kinda Spidey's thing, innit?

Not a reader of superhero comics myself, but I was under the impression that Spiderman hasn't been a teenager in the comics for decades.

I think a storyline a few years ago kicked him back to his teenager default age.

Not that surprising, if memory serves they still are the ones making the Spider-Man movies, and are allowed to use MCU characters in those movies.

It's such a shame I already know Jessica Jones is going to end up with an overdose in some dump in Alberquerque.
