Punisher and Jessica Jones cancelled
 
Well, that's all, folks.

We can now 100% completely rule out that ratings have anything to do with these cancellations, since Jessica Jones season 3 isn't even out yet.

I was almost thinking Netflix would keep Punisher and cancel Jessica Jones, since Punisher was a different deal than the original Netflix deal and because Punisher is fairly disconnected from the other shows.

don't have a netflix subscription anymore and good riddance

So does this mean that cringe sounding season of the Punisher isn't happening or has that already been made?

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 02-18-2019 11:48 AM

Sigh. These are the shows that convinced me to subscribe to Netflix in the first place.

Jessica Jones Season 3 better be good.

Maybe this is a good sign, a sign that Marvel has already bought Netflix out of its 2 year or whatever contract, freeing them up to be able to take the shows elsewhere.

I'd like to think that could happen, but I really don't think we'll see these versions of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, or the Punisher again. :tsad:

Or, y'know, the Iron Fist. Silver linings. :tlol:

No surprise there. But I wonder, where will the pop up outside of the US, is Disney+ going to be worldwide, Hulu ain't.

Would be hilarious if the shows ended up on Netflix internationally anyway like STD

Still sucks for us Yankees. If I wanna watch Star Trek Disco, I gotta get CBS Access.

That would be nifty for the global community, though.

Why would you want to do a horrible thing like that?

I liked a lot of the characters... Tilly, Stamets, Georgiou, Lorca, Culber, Tyler, Saru.

The story was 50% ass, but the characters shone through a lot of the time.

Except for Burnham. Man, I did not like Burnham.

Interestingly a local streaming service here recently snaffled the rights to all Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars stuff away from Netflix; not including Netflix originals of course.

This probably isn't a good sign:

Can you imagine what it will go for?

I'd personally love Kilgrave's purple jacket or Shades', well, shades. That sh!t was fabulous.

Andrew NDB 03-21-2019 09:25 PM

I'd wear one of Luke Cage's bullethole hoodies.

snake 03-21-2019 10:25 PM

Why are they just selling it?

IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM.

Or a warehouse.

ProphetofGanja 03-21-2019 10:48 PM

Damn, that sucks. I liked most of the Marvel Netflix shows, even though I eventually concluded that while the events of the MCU may have once influenced the events of the Netflix MCU, the events of the NMCU were never going to influence the MCU at large.

Jeezus Christ that show was bad, like a train wrecking into a dumpster fire :roll:

What costume? They forgot to actually ever give him one.

Part of me wonders if the end of the Marvel Netflix stuff is really so bad... I enjoyed it all collectively so much more than the movies, but I don't know that they really had a good idea in their head for future direction. Nobody was evolving... just regressing or standing still. Be it Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, or Jessica Jones. I thought we'd be seeing much more superheroics than we did at the end of all the seasons. You know, some kind of progression. Even the movies give you a sense of that. Of building up, getting better. And we all know how The Defenders ended up... completely sh***ing on the promise that the end of Daredevil one sold us.

Daredevil doesn't even have a costume anymore and spent 2 of his 3 seasons fighting the same guy. Iron Fist never even got a costume, and lost his powers (but regained them somehow, mysteriously? or something?). Jessica Jones ended up using her powers even less than in the first season, still basically on the same character arc of "Maybe I can feel something again?" Luke Cage just doing a whole lot of nothing.

The biggest crime is Punisher, to me. And yeah, they'll never find a Frank Castle as good as Bernthal. Maybe Grillo if he hadn't have been wasted in the Captain America movies. Maybe that Leprechaun guy from American Gods... he seems like he could be Bernthal's brother in real life.

Except for Iron Fist, the Marvel Netflix casting has been spot on. It's really weird, though, how everything seemed to lose steam and direction after Defenders.

I guess it's a look at how the MCU could have derailed if Avengers 1 had been a trainwreck?
