i'm very interested in seeing how they adapt all of Alias. a lot of it will have to be adapted for a lot of reasons...

huh, really? that's a shame. thought it was a pretty provocative and interesting way to open the book.

IIRC it was still provocative (if you think about...the angle of the characters) just not quite to that degree. Sorry, I'm blushing a bit typing this, haha.

Is there a link to this? I know it's not explicitly stated that Cage is assfucking her, but I don't really see a lot of other plausible interpretations of that scene.

I'm sorry, I don't think I feel comfortable going down that Google path, sorry ;)

Just think about the angle. That is one other significant plausible interpretation.

That fits with the narration and her facial expressions as well? I may be missing something obvious, as I'm not used to expending a lot of mental energy on imagining heterosexual sex acts, but drawing a blank here.

For what it's worth he discusses it in THIS interview here. His specific quote is "It could be." So it looks like it wasn't his specific intent (though it's a valid interpretation).

It could be sounds more for like didnt wanted to become a target for prude amercians.

It was his specific intent, obviously, he just would rather not solidify that and further keep the scene front-of-mind for the group of giggling teenage boys for whom that scene is the be-all/end-all of ALIAS.

Slayven's not a teenager though. He's older than the confederates. You can't explain that.

I don't think what you PMed is quite deviant enough to fit her internal monologue, but maybe that's just me. Eh.

No, I see what you mean. I dunno. I just remember hearing it wasn't supposed to be quite what it looked like. Not that it matters. Neither interpretation of that is making it to the TV series.

I remember reading or hearing something more definitive a few years before that interview, but I've been out of the comics scene for long enough that I really don't remember where. Might've been on Bendis's message board. I met him a couple times but I'm certain it never came up in person....

Whatever his intent, I agree that the scene is pointed to far too often as an example of the edginess or importance of the series, when its quality hinged on completely different aspects and had nothing to do with that one scene.
 
Lol, if you put Alias in the title in any significant way, you're just going to have a first page full of confused people and a title change by a mod.
 
The tie-ins to Civil War for this will be crazy good. Maybe litter a few references to it throughout Daredevil since he's a lawyer and would hear things about it, and then have it come to a head when Luke Cage comes out (hopefully just before/after Civil War gets released).

Consideing that with Netflix series all episodes are available to watch on day 1, references to Civil War would be quite odd considering how far out that movie is.

Agents of SHIELD introduced Inhumans 4 years before the film comes out, so having Civil War refs in the Netflix shows is not out of the question.

But let's see. :)

The ones released this year definitely won't. The ones coming out next year and beyond probably will I think. Along with subsequent seasons of this year's shows.

Inhumans are a race who have existed for thousands of years. Civil War is an event which won't happen until next year!

Inhumans are a race, a thread that can tie through multiple movies and through the MCU as a whole.
It is not a storyline.
They did not reference Black Bolt, they have not referenced really anything yet.
People are creating things that AoS themselves have themselves put on a slow simmer.
Civil War is a very set storyline with an event plan.
The events that set it in motion will not have even begun when Daredevil season one is over.

First off, we don't know the exact timeline of when the Netflix shows take place. Age of Ultron is catalyst of Civil War and I can see the Netflix shows released after the film tieing into Civil War.

Also, Agent Carter ties into AoU by showing
the Red Room and the Black Widow program.

I don't really see stuff like that as direct tie-ins so much as general worldbuilding I guess. Like, in the end everything connects to each other because it's one shared universe, but I consider crossover tie-ins to be stuff which has much more direct impact. We'll definitely be seeing A LOT of that from next year onwards, because the post-Civil War MCU should be pretty different, just like how Winter Soldier blew the entire setting of AoS open.

Especially seeing how all the Netflix shows are street level, registration should have a huge impact on how the storylines are developed. That's the sort of impact I'm thinking of.
 
It would be really interesting if Marvel takes comic event style approach to their movies, where a few episodes of the shows will tie in to the events of a given movie. I guess that's basically what SHIELD has done, but I hadn't really considered that for the Netflix shows.

Wouldn't those be tied to Black Widow and not AoU?
 
Never heard of Jessica Jones but an Iron Fist or Luke Cage show would have to be bad ass.

Hell couldn't they do both in on show? Didn't they have that whole heroes for hire thing going on?

Really hope they don't fuck up the Iron fist one.

They'll all be in the same show by the end, in The Defenders.

Yeah, legit references to MCU's Civil War might not happen, but I think we could see the groundwork layed out for Civil War as people and the government react to the vigilantes and villains. I think we'll get some easter eggs, even if it's something as small as a 10 second tv broadcast in the background stating that the government is growing weary of increased vigilantism and superpowers post alien battle/fall of S.H.I.E.L.D

Like shouldn't there be a decent amount of super-powered villains running around since they got broken out of in AoS post Winter Soldier anyways? Some who are probably even more crazy and powerful than the guy who wanted to fill his dark soul with liiiiiiiiiiight.

Mike Colter have had an interview with IGN where he explains, that Luke Cage will be geared towards the adult audience:

"It's geared towards an adult audience, which is something that will be different from the Marvel Cinematic Universe that you've seen before on the big screen. I'm excited about playing the character because I've read the comic books. They're very detailed, gritty; the world they've written in the comic books is very clear. Marvel does a fantastic job about bringing human stories – because you're telling big stories with a heart at the centre of it – and that's what connects all of the characters to our audience members. Audience members have to feel connected with these characters, to make them relate to the character's situations and that's what you see with all of the Marvel characters."

What he is excited about in the upcoming show:

"What I’m most excited about is touching on what makes him tick. It feels good to get a character that has such a story, background, and history. And when I look at the scripts, I’m really pleased with it because it’s a slow-burn; there’s nothing happening really fast that gets ahead of itself. I’m really with where they’re taking it and how they’re developing the characters, because it’s really cool."

And this show too, will be gritty:

"We have a more gritty, focused story on our heroes and characters that live in New York City, but it’s geared towards a more adult audience and I think that’s the thing about the series that will be different."
