Great news. Shows like this rarely come back from limbo, so I’ll eagerly accept more, if offered.

I had fun with the show. I admit it took a few episodes for to get going in the right direction, but by the end it left me wanting more. I had a friend that watched it and could say it was fine emphasizing fine to the point he couldn’t find anything worn with it, but what was good about it wasn’t anything to rave…

They used characters you would expect to see in Japan but heavily drawing from Daredevil. Silver Samurai (Daredevil and X-men comics), Yuki and Lady Bullseye (members of The Hand both Daredevil comics), Fat Cobra (contemporary of Iron Fist and guardian of one of the other heavenly cities) and Stick (Daredevils mentor).

Apart from Hit-Monkey himself, the series didn’t seem all that interested in using Marvel characters, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it just creates its own cast from here on.

This is fantastic news. That show was so good.

On the other hand, the HBO Max model has me thinking I need to power through Doom Patrol because odds are pretty good once the season wraps they’ll yank the whole thing from the service for good.

I came here to post the comment “Whaddya mean still? Why would the sting ever go away; who would ever change their mind about being disappointed about a series being cut short?”

If I’m being completely honest with myself when I think of Harry Dresden I still picture him as Paul Blackthorne. Same with Murphy as Valerie Cruz.

The main thing that limits Dresden coming back on to the screen isn’t the 2007 show, which was pretty decent, but the fact that Dresden was basically a bit of a fossil, in terms of attitudes/behaviours/vibes, even when the first book was written (the book kind of makes a point of this, to be fair), and now? His whole…

My feeling has always been that if Firefly had lasted two or three seasons it would be remembered today as this weird spaceships and horses thing that Whedon had done while juggling Buffy and Angel. A curiosity, fondly remembered by some, but not anything like a cult phenomenon.

We know from Whedon and Tim Minear that their plans for Season 2 of Firefly included having Inara raped by Reavers to make Malcolm feel bad (but it was okay because she had poisoned herself in some fashion so all the Reavers died).

I don’t think he would have messed up Firefly since Season’s 2 and 3 were basically supposed to be the movie Serenity, just told at a slower pace and with some filler episodes not directly involved with the core mythology.

If anyone is curious what the unlabeled article photo above was from, it’s Netflix’s 1899.

Then you seem like the perfect choice for this trailer breakdown, don’t you?

maybe just maybe you are the wrong person to be writing these columns.

Then io9 should *really* stop having you review/recap Marvel properties. Your disdain for the material is tiresome.

You know what the internet needs less of? Snarky dismissal of things the author doesn’t like. I’m fine if you’re writing a review of something you didn’t like. But inserting commentary into a trailer review about how the previous films sucked, so this will probably suck, too, is seriously on par with all those a-holes…

Is Switch not explicitly a trans character? That subtext is pretty damned bolded and underlined, it’s almost like someone wishing that Melville would have been more explicit that Moby Dick is about obsession. 

Maybe it's a glitch in the Matrix?

I remember sitting at my desk at work reading online (no, really) about the upcoming episode and marking a reminder to watch it on my PAPER CALENDAR.
The idea that that was a few weeks more than 25 years ago makes my head spin.
