The Netflix company clearly has more money than they know what to do with.

I'll be recommending this as the top method to all of my friends.

If the AV Club doesn't have the in-depth knowledge and appreciation to review a particular topic, show, book, album, or whatever, then it should not be reviewed. Period.

Dave teeters on the edges of something that is well known within the black community but is rarely discussed - there is a deep-seeded cognitive dissonance practiced in the African American community with regards to homosexuality (some latin/hispanic communities too, but I won't speak to that here).

You're not following the conversation: either you didn't read the previous comments or you did and you missed the point. I was pointing out that the collective term "Asia" is used in the Asia region and that it was not inherently offensive in all cases.

He looks like he's on the toilet.

Well, if you look across all of the movies, you see Anakin's journey from hero to anti-hero and finally, to villain.

I do not agree. You're saying that, purely by making the villain a lead in a show, they become an anti-hero. That's only true if you change the character, because anti-heroes and villains, while having traits in common, are not the same thing. Some villains do exhibit anti-hero sentiments at times, so there are…

I think the MCU has tried to keep some comparative basis of comic origin powers to live action powers. They definitely reflect this in the Avengers and the X-Men movies to some extent.

With his power, a Kilgrave series could get extremely dark. He would be an incredibly powerful serial killer.

I wouldn't call Punisher a villain. He's an anti-hero, kinda like Batman. I think the most compelling villain story would be one where he/she comes close to choosing the side of right and instead goes wrong. Like Star Wars told from the perspective of the Empire/Sith.

Oh I totally agree. Given how many times they have tried to do the F4 and failed, the next reboot should be with Doom, and his story is so rich and compelling that you could have seasons of episodes done without even getting him to his villain stage.

I think a show with a villain lead is exactly what we need to shake things up. I could see a show with the Joker as a lead that would be awesome if executed well.

Just a thought, but why can't Marvel do some shows with villains as the lead rather than heroes?

Ummm…. but people say "white people" all the time.

They did step up Luke Cage's power in his own show, compared to what he showed in Jessica Jones, but I would argue that Jessica Jones had him watered down quite a bit to his comic book powers. But your point is taken - it was very inconsistent.

I made a similar comment earlier in this thread, but I really wonder how much the writers and show runners review the Marvel canon material and story lines. It seems like they didn't do much research for Danny.

I often wonder how much of the source material these writers take into consideration and how much research they do into the characters. There is such a rich amount of information for Danny and some really deep stories. There's no need to re-invent the wheel.

I think you would have to make new memorable characters, which is possible.
