Marvel Netflix shows

At which point, they would promptly run to Thor and go, "Something's weird about your dad. He just banished us for no good reason." And then return to Asgard to uncover the coup. Seriously, there's no reason to take an unnecessary risk like that.

Not if Odin reaches to Thor first. Loki, however clever, is a petty, vindicative lunatic. Something like this isn't at all that far-fetched for him. He could even effectively banish the Three, but tell them and the rest of Asgard it's a quest he's sending them ot. I don't know, feels in-cahracter for me.

What if before they arrive, Loki appears to Thor and tells him the Warriors have gone mad and are coming to Midgard to try and conquer it?

Instead of banishing them why not send them on a mission to explore the Nine Worlds. Kepps them out of his hair, gives us a chance to see more of the Asgardian universe within the greater marvel universe and, from Loki's perspective, they might even come up with worthwhile info.

Daredevil begins shooting in July.

Meh, Daredevil first. At least Jessica Jones is next.

Daredevil is definitely the one I'm looking forward to most.

I could take or leave Daredevil but hopefully it's better done than the movie. Luke Cage is the one I'm looking forward to.

Sucks that they're doing him last before the Defenders.

My preferred order would be either Luke Cage or Daredevil first, the other one next, Iron fist and Jones last because i know the least about her.

I think DD, Jessica, Iron Fist and Luke Cage works great as an order because you can have characters appear from the previous series really easily, but not so much the other direction.

Jessica requires a law element, so Matt Murdock before her makes sense, Luke also needs a law element, and Jessica's complicated story means it's best have her established before tangling her up with Luke in a romantic plot, and the same goes for Iron Fist and the bromantic plot.

I wonder if this means we'll get the first show before the year is out.

I think they'll want to make sure it doesn't collide with Age of Ulton's release, because during that the entire world is going to be in crisis. But as Netflix dumps their entire seasons at once, they could do it in time I think.

Piece from Joe Quesada. He confirms the shows will be set in the MCU but says they will be more noir and street level than any of the movies or Agent SHIELD.

Considering the characters I'd be severely disappointed if it wasn't noirish.

But does "noir" mean "as dark as Agents of SHIELD"? I'm hoping for something more like the 90s Flash series.

Any word on casting for either Daredevil or Luke Cage yet?

I really hope Daredevil is dark. I know that's not what Marvel really does with their films and shows but Daredevil's best runs (Miller and Bendis especially but Nocenti and Brubaker to a lesser extent) are really dark and unrelenting and all the better for it.

A story like Born Again works so well because of how grueling and unforgiving it is to Matt and that's probably his best story even to this day.

I know Quesada said it'd be more noir and street level and I know Waid's been making him lighter lately, and understandably so considering some writers like Diggle really lost the plot with the darkness, but a good Daredevil adaptation really needs to draw from Frank Miller and Brian Bendis's stories and that means not pulling any punches.

I'll admit there are degrees of noirishness for instance i don't consider AoS all that dark. And the 90s Flash show sucked.

It wasn't that bad. Any show with Mark Hamill in full Joker mode can't be all bad.

I'm honestly slightly disappointed that Luke Cage and Iron Fist are getting shows. I mean, on one hand I'm super pumped because they're my favorites, but on the other I was really hoping for a Quentin Tarentino-directed Heroes for Hire movie.

Yes, I know the odds of that are pretty much non-existant, but come one.. that just seems like an impossibly perfect fit. Superhero pop culture, blaxploitation, 70's kung fu movies, and morally ambiguous people that fight for money... throw in a foot fetish and that's damn near everything that QT loves in the world.

When there are double agents, triple agents, and exposed brains present, a series is dark. That's why I gave up on Ao S. I'll give the "Defenders" series a try and am looking forward to Agent Carter, but no more Ao S for me.

AoS is an extremely optimistic take on the spy genre. There are moles and murders, no question, but the battle lines are clear (even if some people are lying about what side they're on) with little of the "I'm a good guy in my country's eyes while you're a good guy in yours" you get in most spy stuff, and everything generally works out in the end.

Wrong thread

Hell one of the criticisms fans had for a while is that it was TOO optimistic and positive a depiction of the spy genre (I remember people FLIPPING OUT over the scene where Coulson basically extols the virtues of spying on Americans like it's an unquestionably good thing). They've said the Netflix shows are going to be darker and more adult, in contrast to the more jokey, family-friendly tone of SHIELD I think.
