How is NetFlix going to pay for all of this new content? Are they going to let other deals for non original content lapse and try to become more like HBO, or is the growing subscriber base enough to cover it. They've gone from around 23 million subscribers after the price hike mess and are now at 40 million subscribers. 17 million more subscribers is an extra $1.6 Billion per year in revenue.

No one really knows what her powers are, even her.


Super-strength? Yes.

Increased ability to absorb damage? Yes.

Flight? Yes.

Landing? Not so much. It works out when there's a Scorpion to land on, though.

Ability to withstand mind control? Not at first, which is why she wasn't a super hero for long.

Good point.

Ability to make arse-babies? Possibly...

Now I've got to look up tht Tenacious D skit where Kyle and Jack go out to the desert to take LSD.


Turns out it's actually EPT and Kyle's is positive, which results in him giving birth to a butt baby.

Iron Fist is pretty much a generic martial arts hero who happens to be Luke Cage's BFF.



bullshite. He's got a fantastic backstory, and an origin way more fricked up than Spider Man or Batman.

And this guy needs to play him in the series:

They had to put fake nipples over his real ones for that joke. Seriously.

But the way he played that character is why I think he'd fit the Iron Fist. Oddly enough.

ETA: I started a thread yesterday about the MCU and how they pick their directors and got zero replies. You people suck.

now if they could only move SHIELD over to NetFlix so they can stop being so episodic each week.



also, its starting to seem like NetFlix is going to eventually be a Disney run company.

I knew you'd show up eventually to take on that comment and I agree 100% with you.

Of the 5 shows coming, I'm looking forward to:

1. Iron Fist
2. Daredevil
3. Defenders
4. Jessica Jones
5. Luke Cage

the defenders without Dr.Strange?


Seriously hoping they were going to make the "New Avengers".

To me the defenders are:
Strange
Namor
Sufer
Hulk
Valkyrie
Son of Satan


I am looking forward to this though.

They plan to use Dr Strange in a movie in Phase 3 I think. I wonder if there will be some kind of tie in with the Defenders series.

If the Defenders become the new focus of the MCU, I am all about it. However, I would like to see Cage involved with the main crew.

I don't know what this means, but it felt like it belonged in this thread:

Matt Fraction just tweeted that. He wrote the only Defenders series I ever read. It was good, but they cancelled it after 12 issues, kind of leading into the Marvel NOW! push. He writes Hawkeye now, among other books.
