Using a redirected missile system that created Ragman does not count

Iron Fist wouldn't know what to do.
Love how Thea, the victim of this incident he intervenes in to help btw, is just chilling with her hands in her pocket here. haha

I wish we could just forget that all of S3 and S4 happened
She knows she's safe, there's nothing to fear!
I think it makes sense considering their relationship. And it's not like Harold explicitly lied to the guy... He only told half-truths for the most part and did it in a way where he seemed like a clear victim being taken advantage of by the Hand.

Gotham is actually amazing now since they've embraced the madness.
Arrow Season 1 was a special kind of garbage until like...episode 15 then it got goooood, and then feel to shit again in Season 3.

forreal. the way that goofy flip looks is bad enough but it looks like he deliberately steps out onto the street (after he sees the incoming cab btw) to show off a cool trick?
So not only did she kill tens of thousands of people she also created the most OP hero on the show
She could Solo the Defenders, easy

What? Aside from the Roy stuff arrow S1 was straight gold. Oliver was ruthless in those first eps. Setting traps, taking people out without hesitation, it was amazing

Bro, Inhumans is in the trash pile for me now. I've was skeptical about Iron fist and it hurts that I was right to be worried.
What did they do with their budget? It like they just embezzeled it and made a cheap ass show. I rather watch any 80s marvel television program then watch it on fist again.
Bruh Season 4 is just Season 2 w/o Slade, same story beats and everything. Imma keep pushing this until people see the damn light
Also Scott Buck is the Showrunner for Inhumans
They better hope someone somehow made Frank Castle a compelling character all on his own

I am 11 episodes in and still don't get the hate.
Had I listened to the feedback it has received thus far I would have skipped the show entirely but after watching almost all the episodes I am pretty much just like "Huh? This isn't even bad."
That's not to say it couldn't use some work (in particular the fight choreography) but overall it could have been a lot worse (and there is a lot worse out there).
It feels like people are just riding the hate train with this one.

Gotham is a really fascinating show especially in this latest season. I don't know if I would call it "good", but I don't think you'll be disappointed.
I feel like I could just barely buy it due to the fact that they didn't interact all that much. (Which makes Harold being the final villain all the more jarring) I think the last time they saw each other, Harold had murdered people in cold blood too. Sure, self-defense, but how is alarm bells not ringing lmao
So he can flip over the car.

To be fair, Marvel Netflix has never been very good at showing powers. The best stuff was always the Daredevil fights because of great stunt people and Elektra's actress being able to do quite a bit
Ya but Slade is the key to dat puzzle
Season 4? How

I think they did pretty well showing Luke Cage's powers, granted they were simple. But really Iron Fist needed to be more like Russo Brother's Captain America, at least in terms of strength. For someone who had trained for most of his life, he was getting his ass kicked a lot

I'm rewatching Daredevil season 1 now and it holds up pretty well so far. Feels like a breeze compared to the other stuff.
Jessica Jones
Luke Cage
Does that give you a hint why?

Season 2 said:
Jessica Jones
Luke Cage

What the fuck. It's unintelligible.
Oliver leaves the Hood behind because reasons
Has to come back because reasons
Political business
Swag ass villain who gives no fucks
Team ends up fractured
Someone close to Oliver dies
Introduction to another techy guy
But they're shitty! NeoGAF said so!
They did it in Daredevil too. Probably will be in it for Defenders and then Season 2

I dont dislike it so far but at episode 9 i can definitely feel it dragging alot. Seems to be the marvel netlfix curse, make these shits ten episodes max! I dont particularly care about the less interesting side characters subplots
I didn't realize there was a dislike for Jessica Jones... I remember being in the thread for it when it first came out and it was generally positive reactions.
I didn't care much for Luke Cage though. I thought it was kind of corny and the social commentary was ham-fisted. I never finished it.

I hope not, i found that with this, dd season 2, cage, and jones they seem to just draaag on towards the end. Like the build this great momentum in the first 5-7 episodes than it just drops.
Kilgrave got away one too many times and it was in the most hamfisted way possible. I can see it as a tipping point for people because it was really stupid.
So I see that instead of replying to those who are challenging you, you're now literally quoting the same post (that supports your opinion) twice on the same page.
I think the original batch, including this season, has to be. Second seasons don't have to be, unless they do it for consistency. At least The Defenders is eight, which is promising.

IIRC the contract Netflix/Marvel signed with NY had significant tax breaks with the caveat that they had to produce 60 hours of content, so 4 shows + 8 for Defenders
DD S2 kinda throws a wrench in that though
I failed.
Episode 5 I truly enjoyed but 8 episodes in it is the most boring Marvel ip, I'm including the movies.
You know those scenes in The Office where Dwight Schrute does martial arts? That is Danny Rand's martial arts in a nutshell.
The show was basically capture Kilgrave -> Kilgrave escapes x10
Also, I tallied something like 15 innocent people dying because Jessica spent the entire season refusing to kill Kilgrave since she needed him to get Hope out of jail......who fucking died anyway.
All the characters on that show were stupid as fuck and just did the opposite of whatever a normal person would do so that the show could go on for what seemed like 50 episodes.
Yeah, anytime someone says Season 4 is bad I just think to myself how it's the exact same season as Season 2 with Dahrk instead of Slade
The dislike really only comes from GAF and other vocal minorities
Luke Cage was good for about 5 episodes. A major problem with that show was that the Luke Cage character was boring and Mike Colter's acting was suspect on top of that. I thought the show did an ok job with the social commentary but I will say certain things weren't very nuanced and just really corny. Also the issue of Harlem and gentrification wasn't fully explored in the narrative. A lot of people I talk to in real life really like the show tho
Bruh you literally quoted other GAF threads to further your Jessica Jones sucks agenda, we get it, you dislike a show that most audiences and critics liked. Fucking hell

Perhaps the best thing to ever air on television, that's what.
I could watch Roy flips all day. They're the best worst thing ever.
