Topic: Everything Marvel (Movies, Games, Comics, ect...)

I was able to finish it earlier than I thought and I really liked it. I love noir and crime thrillers, and this fits very well alongside them. Great casting and acting all around, darker subjects like rape, child abuse, addiction, and post-traumatic stress were handled respectfully and with impact.

What was most fascinating for me is how Kilgrave was written. Even without his powers, he was basically this embodiment of all of the negative aspects of masculinity. The way he couldn't understand how psychological manipulation was rape, thought he could "make" Jessica love him just by pure persistence, wanted to control everyone around him, etc. It's basically if you took a stereotypical "nice guy" who complains about the "friendzone" and such things and coated it with a raging psychopath with powers.

My only real complaint is that there was perhaps too much time devoted to Hogarth's marital problems. That arc gets wrapped up fairly late in the series, but it never really contributes anything to the main story. It's a side trip with no payoff.

It's a 4/5 series. Can't wait for Luke Cage. Mike Colter killed it as the big guy.

I really like how they treated the story from the 1st Avengers film in Daredevil, where it is a really sombre incident like 9/11 and has a huge impact on the New York community beyond flag waving rubbish.

I'm on episode 5 of Jessica Jones and I've got today off so I'm tempted to binge all of the episodes and then lie to my girlfriend and pretend I haven't seen them even though we said we'll watch them together.

The MCU references were cool, I do like how they showed Jessica's powerset with her pulling every punch or move she made.

Disney owns my house

Video keeps giving me an error, but I assume that's the hella sexy Civil War trailer. So good. Black Panther looks great. More awesome fight choreography from the Russos. That ending with Cap and Bucky vs Stark!

And now we wait 6 months for the movie.

That movie is going to be a tough watch. It almost seems pointless for superheroes that we've grown to love to fight each other in this maner. It should make for possibility the best plot yet though in the MCU universe.

@Spoony_Tech:

To be fair the fighting seems more like Starks team are capturing fugitives from the law. Cap seems to not only opposing the SRA but protecting Bucky as well.

@shingi_70: Never took you for the cutesy avatar type lol.

@Spoony_Tech:

Heh, Zelda hype from the direct got to me, so I made my avatar the only Zelda oic on my laptop at the time .

@shingi_70: Lol, if you could only see my Twitter avatar. I also have another I think I'll use right now. Might be too cute though.

So excited for Civil War, Go Team Cap!

Team Cap all the way! Although I do agree that superheroes should be held accountable for their actions.

It depends on what you mean by their actions. Innocent bystanders being hurt is normally the fault of the person doing the crime, when talking about police, should that also apply to superheroes? Also I don't know how I would feel about the American government trying to control superheroes, deciding superheroes can't save certain people because those people are "un-american" or something.

The new Civil War trailer is great. Jessica Jones is great, too. Loving Marvel this decade.

@DefHalan:

It really depends on the context, heroes shouldn't be beholden to the government unless they work for the said organization (Deathlok working for shield) but their needs to be some sort of organization in place to train people. The funny thing is that it seems that's what the Avengers post Ultron had been leading up too, and shield has been doing a similar thing with the secret warriors.

So a coworker of mine and I were trying to think of actors and actresses who have been in both DC and Marvel live action media, (or will be) that is movies and/or tv shows and we have came up with this list.

Ryan Reynolds — Blade Trinity, Wolverine Origins, Deadpool, Green Lantern
Halle Berry — Xmen, Catwoman
Ben Affleck — Daredevil, Superman V Batman
Neal McDonough — Captain America, Arrow
Michael Chiklis — Fantastic Four, Gotham

Are there any others you guys can think of?

Hmm...

James Marsden: X-Men, Superman Returns
Tommy Lee Jones: Batman Forever, Captain America: The First Avenger
Hugo Weaving: V for Vendetta, Captain America: The First Avenger
Adrianne Palicki: Smallville, Agents of SHIELD (bonus: unaired pilots of both Aquaman and Wonder Woman)
Powers Boothe: DCAU, Agents of SHIELD

Does Vertigo comics count as DC though, I know the answer is both yes and no but I'm just pointing it out. It also mean you can include Chris Evans who plays Cap and was in The Losers, Samuel L Jackson who was in the Spirit and as Nick Fury, Scarlett Johansson who was also in The Spirit and as Black Widow, Michael Fassbender as Magneto and a baddie in Jonah Hex, Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta and Thor and besides those who have already been mentioned that's all I can name off the top of my head.

I think Vertigo counts as DC.

Zoe Saldana (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Idris Elba (Thor) were both in The Losers too, come to think of it. Would also broaden the list to William Hurt (A History of Violence, The Incredible Hulk), Djimon Hounsou (Constantine, Guardians of the Galaxy), and Stanley Tucci (Road to Perdition, Captain America: The First Avenger).

Also, if we count Vertigo, then we have to count Icon too. That would extend the list to Mark Strong (Green Lantern, Kick-Ass, Kingsman: The Secret Service), Michael Caine (The Dark Knight, Kingsman), and Jim Carrey (Batman Forever, Kick-Ass 2).

Here's a hard one: Who has been in at least one production from Marvel, DC, and Image? I can think of only one person, but it's kind of cheating.

Frank Welker, AKA that dude who has 753 voice acting credits (you know him best as Fred in Scooby-Doo), was in Avengers Assemble, Batman: The Animated Series, and Spawn.
