Also I didn't know David Tennant was in it, so that was a cool surprise when they showed him. And agreed, he was really good. Overall not sure if I like it as much as Daredevil, but it's close.

I liked Jessica Jones as a whole, esp. the final third. This was mostly due to the awesome supporting cast and the overall story (minus the bits where people were being extra dumb). The action sequences aren't as satisfying as they were in Daredevil, but the story's more interesting and the villain way way better. The Daredevil tie-in towards the end was just really bad. I wish they hadn't done that because it was so awkward and the dialogue so lame and stilted.

I gotta admit I didn't really like Ritter's acting. Wasn't a big fan of Luke either. Still, I'll watch anything the Marvel/Netflix collaboration gives us

Me and Dr. Fiancee are halfway through Jesica Jones. It is amazing!!! There is a real sense of Danger that I feel even the avengers couldn't handle except maybe

The Cast is amazing! Each with their own little story going on in each episode. Also I actually like Luke so far.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #908 on:** 30 Nov 2015, 18:41 »

Wait, why do people not like Luke?

Sweet Christmas.

I rather enjoyed the series! No, it's not as action oriented as Daredevil, but I kind of feel like that's more because Daredevil is shown to be a trained fighter and Jessica Jones not so much. (Her fight scenes were clunky, so I just figured they didn't want to make her seem trained.) Also I liked Luke.

Killgrave is also one of the best villains ever and I think it's entirely because of Tennant playing such an amazing psycho/sociopath. He was by far the best thing about the show.

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #913 on:** 02 Dec 2015, 06:06 »

I thought it was pretty much a given/announced that Spider-man is appearing in Civil War? They cut a deal with Sony allowing them to use him in their movies and he was pretty central to the comic book version of the story.

Gladstone · « **Reply #914 on:** 02 Dec 2015, 15:56 »

I know the answer is "because money," but I still don't understand why Spider-Man needs to be shoehorned into the MCU--especially since this'll be the third version of Spider-Man in 15 years. If anything, I think a live-action TV show would be better.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #915 on:** 02 Dec 2015, 18:44 »

He never should've been excluded in the first place, but I still see your point, and honestly a Netflix show would probably be much better than whatever they give him to do in Civil War.

Gladstone · « **Reply #916 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?

Method of Madness · « **Reply #917 on:** 02 Dec 2015, 20:21 »

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.

Edguy · « **Reply #919 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 01:01 »

No way they could do Spider-man justice on a TV budget tho. I cringe to think how the special effects would look there..

Method of Madness · « **Reply #920 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 04:45 »

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

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #921 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 08:32 »

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.

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.

Jessica would be the one who knocks but she always breaks the door when she tries.

Just watched Winter Soldier for the first time yesterday, it kinda went past me when it came out. It confused me that Black Widow looked so different compared to Avengers, even though it's still Scarlett Johansson. Longer hair and a lighter shade of red. Confusing. In the beginning I wondered if it was a different actress.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #927 on:** 30 Dec 2015, 13:32 »

Is it just me, or was Ant Man by far the better of the two 2015 Marvel movies?

We've been sort of marathoning them and her hairstyles are different in every movie, except that they're the most similar in the two Avengers movies. Women change their hair. A lot. Yes, she's a character, but it's a thing women do.

ChaoSera · « **Reply #929 on:** 04 Jan 2016, 05:38 »

Fair enough. I guess I was mostly confused because the Avengers movies were the two I watched most recently and hair style is mostly the same in those.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #930 on:** 06 Jan 2016, 08:42 »

I really didn't like Ant Man that much.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #931 on:** 06 Jan 2016, 19:43 »

I wouldn't call it amazing but I thought it was a lot of fun, while finding AoU to be a pretty big disappointment.

Lines · « **Reply #932 on:** 08 Jan 2016, 10:40 »

Neither AoU or Ant-Man are the best Marvel movies, but I agree that Ant-Man is definitely one of the more fun movies. And I reeeeally want Michael Peña to come back for another movie because he was one of my favorite things about it.

Having rewatched it, I feel like AoU was basically a set up for Civil War and introducing The Vision and that's kind of it. I felt like Ultron was pretty flat, but not because of Spader (who was awesome at voicing him), but because he didn't get a good enough set up for why he was doing what he was doing. I dunno. The other movies have flowed better and that one didn't. It's still a good hero movie, but the other Marvel movies have been so good it just sticks out I guess.

Also her hair changes styles several times throughout Iron Man 2 and that's just one film. It's hardly confusing.

"Bussom buddy" is less likely to be used by homophobic 14 year olds.

Finn Jones is the guy that plays Ser Loras Tyrell in GoT. Iron Fist is the other part of the "Superheroes for Hire"-duo, with Luke Cage.
