December 29, 201510 yr If you haven't watched The Walking Dead, you should know that Berenthal is about the best possible Punisher casting you can imagine.
December 31, 201510 yr Yeah, all the talk about if there will be season 2's of Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, the talk should probably be when is The Punisher going to get a show. That character and actor seem pretty destined to steal the show in Season 2 of DD. Also, I'm guessing Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are going to be pretty linked together by the time the defenders comes around. Perhaps they don't get a solo season but a duet if both of their stand-alones do well enough.
January 17, 201610 yr Yup, DD season two hasn't yet been released but the execs like Jon Berenthal's Punisher so much it's already green lit for it's own series.

I hated Berenthal's character in TWD. It's going to take some time to get over how much I hated him in that role. Hopefully, he shows up a few times in DD and puts in a strong performance so I can get the bad taste out of my mouth.
January 17, 201610 yr Author Daredevil Season 2 March 18th. Luke Cage season 1, filming and I thought I read August release somewhere. Jessica Jones renewed for season 2, no date set yet. Iron Fist, not cast yet.
January 17, 201610 yr Jessica Jones renewed for season 2, no date set yet.As much as I loved JJ, I would have preferred to see Netflix show a little restraint and move JJ over to The Defenders series. It was a great season. It's okay to let it be a great season and move on to a larger project with the character, opening up room for another character to shine in their own series.
January 17, 201610 yr Author I think The Defenders is a little bit in limbo while they figure out what they're doing with Iron Fist. There were rumors circulating that character might get co-opted into the films, which I think would be a mistake.

January 18, 201610 yr Yeah, I don't know how I feel about this, really. I hated Berenthal's character in TWD. It's going to take some time to get over how much I hated him in that role. You hated the character? Or the actor? Because I kind of think we were all supposed to hate the character, which obviously means he succeeded. Tangent: Also, funny to see that Rick (and obviously Carol) have become way more ruthless than Shane was.
January 18, 201610 yr I'm wondering if Luke Cage season 1 is going to happen after JJ season 1 or if it will be a prequel kind of thing. More seasons of JJ and Luke Cage seem kind of odd unless those two aren't going to be interacting any time in the near future. Seems like it could, perhaps should be a co-ed production. Edit: Though a co-ed show would probably take away from the huge Girl Power theme that JJ carefully cultivated.
January 18, 201610 yr You hated the character? Or the actor? Because I kind of think we were all supposed to hate the character, which obviously means he succeeded.I hated them both. Having read the comic, I know I'm supposed to hate the character but I didn't hate what he was supposed to be as a story element, I hated his representation in the show. Some of that is scripting, some of that is on the actor.

Some of that is scripting, some of that is on the actor.Sure, I get it. His character, Shane was pretty emotional, often manic I'd say. I'm going to guess The Punisher is going to be played cool, stoic and ruthlessly just. In other words Carol from TWD. Hopefully Melissa Mcbride has offered him some tips.

Some of that is scripting, some of that is on the actor. I didn't read the comic. It wasn't too hard to hate the character in TWD... but I don't think that translates to the actor. He portrayed it quite well. It's kind of like hating Jack Gleason b/c of Joffrey.
January 31, 201610 yr Author This could have potential. 'ABC is developing a comedy series based on Damage Control, the clean-up crew of the Marvel universe. Variety reports that as opposed to some of Marvel's more action-drama series, Damage Control would be a half-hour, single-camera sitcom following the poor saps who have to clean up the messes left when superheroes clash in their city. The series description details some of the crew's duties as returning a lost ray gun, rescheduling a wedding after its venue was vaporized, or tracking down a prized parrot that's been turned to stone. The series currently has a pilot commitment. This would put the department into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which uses its movies and TV series as part of one large shared universe. It's a good thing, too, because with Captain America: Civil War just around the corner there's bound to be some more destruction coming to New York.'
February 2, 201610 yr Watch out for Deadpool - everything about this movie, the promotions, and Reynolds' 100% commitment to the character scream that they're going to get this right. It'll be juvenile, but it may also be righteously hilarious.
February 5, 201610 yr They just might be doing this one right too. Though, at this point I think Hawley could do most anything and I'd give it a shot.
February 15, 201610 yr Author Daredevil turning up the intensity even more. http://youtu.be/m5_A0Wx0jU4
February 15, 201610 yr It's still my favorite Marvel show and this looks to up the ante even more. Awesome trailer.
February 15, 201610 yr I just finished Season 1 of Daredevil. Liked it better than Jessica, which is a complement.
March 18, 201610 yr If anyone wants to talk DD season two, be sure to create a spoiler thread. I'm going to take my time watching it so I don't want anything spoiled.
March 19, 201610 yr I finished House of Cards season four just before the NCAA tourney started. I plan on picking up DD season 2 Monday after the first two rounds are over.
March 19, 201610 yr It's still my favorite Marvel show and this looks to up the ante even more. Awesome trailer.I haven't watched DD2. DD1, Watchmen and Winter Soldier are my favorite superhero offerings. Edited March 19, 201610 yr by jimmer
March 19, 201610 yr Mum's the word. Halfway through; it's very good.At the same point, and agree for sure!
March 19, 201610 yr I haven't watched DD2. DD1, Watchmen and Winter Soldier are my favorite superhero offerings. Slide The Dark Knight in for Watchmen for me, but I agree about Winter Soldier and DD.
March 19, 201610 yr Author The teaser for Luke Cage, coming in September. https://www.netflix.com/watch/80100874?trackId=14535108
March 19, 201610 yr The teaser for Luke Cage, coming in September.https://www.netflix.com/watch/80100874?trackId=14535108Obviously you can't glean much from a ten second clip, but that implied a much lighter show than DD and JJ.
March 19, 201610 yr Okay, announce Season 3 already, Marvel.I suspect they'll wait a few weeks, maybe even a month or two. DD and Netflix have all the hype they need right now and season three is virtually a lock; they may as well wait until the news and hype die down so any season three announcement gets significant press.
