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.

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.

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.

 

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.

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.

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.

I thought they had the Iron Fist stuff sorted but I haven't been paying much attention over the past month or so.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.'

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.
