Marvel to Make 4 New Superhero Shows

Hope this turns out better than "Agents of Shield"
 

The rumors turned out to be true, for once — well, almost. Marvel Studios today announced that it would be creating four new television series, plus an additional “mini-series event,” in partnership with ABC Studios to debut on Netflix.

The new series will focus on the company’s “ground level” super-characters, launching with Daredevil, then Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage before all four characters combine Avengers-style for the mini-series The Defenders.

I'm still completely baffled why they thought it was a good idea to make a show about SHIELD set in the Marvel Universe, but instead of draw from the hundreds of awesome characters which already exist, make up their own. I never felt in any way like I was watching a show related to Marvel.

Curious to see how Heroes for Hire will go... Agents of SHIELD has been pretty up and down so far. They keep trying to rip off too much Whedon humor and the lead girl is just annoying, but it has had some decent episodes when it takes itself seriously. Haven't seen this week's episode but have it DVR'd.

 

 

Anyways, I think a Daredevil series could work really well on TV the more I think about it.

Aren't there really strict limitations ABC has for using specific Marvel characters on TV?  Something about not taking away from their box office potency, I'd imagine.  Or I could just be making that up in my head with a whole lot of other random thoughts.

 

Probably, but I'm not exactly asking for Captain America in the show. There are hundreds of awesome B level characters to use. Them making up a whole team of new people, especially the super powered people, made the show feel counterfeit and generic to me.

 

If I'm in charge of the show, I'd make Maria Hill the star, give it a serious vibe, and give her a supporting cast of lesser known agents and heroes like Clay Quartermain with maybe occasionally a hero the level of like She-Hulk when they can get away with it.

 

It always felt more like Buffy than anything Marvel to me. A big group of people all quipping with the same sense of humor and competing for screen time.

Arrow is the best comic show.  Shield is pretty cringeworthy right now.  Arrow's first season was good, definitely got better as the season got in, but this season 2 has been really awesome and like mentioned, Flash will be involved this season in Arrow and then get his own show.  They are already dropping easter eggs about it.

 

If they put decent money and production value these 4 shows could be good.  Get decent actors.  I'd like to see Michael C Hall play Daredevil.  Make the shows gritty, and I think you can with these Heroes for Hire guys.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
