Not to sound hyperbolic or anything, but this may actually be the best Marvel property right now. It is right up there with HBO level quality with some excellent writing, acting, cinematography, and fight choreography. It manages to go dark, but not in the teenage angsty sort of way. All of the main player characters feel fleshed out and developed, even the scumbag Russian mobsters have some hint of empathy, and they're straight up shitheads. Wilson Fisk is the best kind of bad guy because you can kind of see where he is coming from, which makes him all the enticing. So far I think I've seen backdoor mentions to both Iron Fist and Luke Cage and I'm only 7 episodes in.

Basically, while I am super excited for Avengers: Age of Ultron, I'm more interested in how that is going to affect the MCU as a whole rather than the story of these characters banding together to face off against an insane robot. When it comes to to the other 3 Netflix series' and The Defenders mini series, that's where I'm actually interested in the stories and fates of those involved.

I read the first sentence, rejoiced, and then stopped. All I need to know is that it is awesome.

So the first four episodes of Game of Thrones have leaked...

I'm a bit torn. I don't want to wait forever to see ep5, but I probably won't be able to stop myself.

Frownland 04-12-2015 10:41 AM

I haven't even started it so it'll probably already be on Amazon when I get to it.

The series or the new season? I feel bad for those who haven't seen anything from the GoT series, because I'm certain the internet has already ruined a lot of major plot points, even if you're only an episode behind... unless you read the books of course. In that case you're obviously much better than the the rest of us heathens.

Thanks. I always thought I was, but it's nice to have it confirmed.

Well if you had only seen up till Order of the Pheonix, and I told you Snape killed Dumbledore, then wouldn't you be wishing you'd read the books?

Fair enough. Also, curse you for somehow knowing that I've read and re-read all the HP novels. I guess I'm clearly a product of my time.

Binged through the first 3 episodes of Daredevil last night.

Spoiler for Spoilers:
A few random comments.

1. Really, really dig the dark vibe and the Matrix like green hue to everything.
2. Dude playing the lead is perfect for the part.
3. While the choreography and fight scenes are awesome, I'd like to see a guy as trained and tough as Matt occasionally putting a bad guy to sleep with a single flush punch to the jaw.
4. Love the buildup to Fisk's first scene at the very end of episode 3.
5. Biggest suspension of disbelief so far? One minute Matt is lying on a couch with broken ribs and a large loss of blood, the next he's going off in that incredible hallway fight scene. I've had broken ribs before. They hurt like a motherf*cker, make any extraneous movements nearly impossible, and they take a long time to heal.
6. Great to see Bob Gunton playing another character that he was born to play and first perfected in Shawshank Redemption.

For the last few years my homies and I have been watching them as they come out, every Sunday, including last Sunday, but the episode was so good that I caved and jumped head first into the leak, binged all 4 in one night. Now I'm in the position where I must withhold that information and continue watching them each Sunday for a month like it never happened, so I don't spoil anything for them. But honestly I bet they caved and watched them too, and are thinking the same thing.

****in' leaks.

I really think this might be leading up to Captain America: Civil War. Why else would all these characters be introduced into the MCU. And Spider-Man going from Sony to Disney makes me think this especially. I hear theirs also talks of a Punisher show. And The Punisher was in the Civil War comics. It just sounds too good to be true honestly.

Oh, it's going to get really nuts within the next couple of episodes.

Currently rewatching Game of Thrones in preparation for the rest of S5. Man, there's so much that I missed the first time around.

The Batlord 04-27-2015 02:25 PM

Considering watching Dexter again. Plenty of books with anti-villain protagonists, but TV has a depressing lack of them. Maybe it's time to bite the bullet and finally watch Breaking Bad.

You should definitely watch Breaking Bad. I think it's better than Dexter overall, and rather than dropping off in quality towards the end it gets insanely good.

Just my opinion.

Dude.

Greatest show ever. Dexter was a lot of fun but it's not in the same league as BB.

I don't doubt it. I love Dexter, but it's got hella flaws. If it wasn't for the great main characters, unique premise, and occasionally fantastic villains, that show would be pretty mediocre half the time.

Wait till you see the villians on BB - Tuco, Hector, Tyrus, Jack, Gus, and many more, and of course...

These two dudes would wipe the floor with any of the villians from Dex except maybe Little Chino.

I also think you should watch Breaking Bad, Batty. The story never gets dull, and you'll get hooked after the first episode. Its one of the best TV series' I've ever seen.

Janszoon 04-28-2015 06:50 AM

Daredevil
I'm really enjoying it. The style of it reminds me of Asian crime cinema, which I love about it. The acting is solid across the board, the characters are well developed, there's plenty of tension and mood, the fight scenes feel raw and intense, and the whole thing is gorgeously filmed. I hope they can maintain this level of awesome.

Goofle 04-28-2015 07:03 AM

^ Agree. Started watching it recently with my Dad and we are completely hooked.

Getting Impractical Jokers first series atm, heard this is meant to be funny as fuck.

Can anyone recommend a documentary on the OJ trial? I like to watch a documentary before bed, and the Beeb did one but I imagine an American one would be better.

Fascinating stuff.

Who was that poster on here into his Bear Grylls type shit?

I'm on program #6 of The Island second series and enjoying this.

I think too many people are opting out of watching this series because of how much attention it gets (if that makes sense to anyone) - most people assume that if something is blown out of proportion, it's probably shit, but in this case, that couldn't be any further from the truth.

Breaking Bad's cinematography is astounding, the storylines are solid, the concept of the series is fully unique and almost every episode leaves you with an aching to watch the next. It's a highly emotional, riveting series that will stay with me forever.

What kind of Asian crime cinema? 'Cause if it's the crazy John Woo kind, I need to watch Daredevil...
