I was at least expecting a dark green tracksuit with yellow lines. They can ditch the mask if they want but yeah it is disappointing.

Oh yeah, finished Luke Cage. Weakest MCU Netflix by far, it dragged on for too long, but was still rather enjoyable, especially Claire and Luke. Now we wait for Danny

Fisk, Killgrave, and Diamondback are all fantastic villains.

Speaking of Netflix, I'm currently going back and rewatching them all in preparation for Defenders.

Working my way through Daredevil at the moment, and I still think Season 1 is great.

Season 2 on the other hand...still good, but I find it lacks the cohesion and emotional pay off that Season 1 had. It felt like Season 2 was juggling too many storylines between introducing the Punisher, Electra, and setting up for Defenders.

More Marvel (just not MCU) casting news. Jamie Chung (Big Hero 6, Once Upon a Time) will be playing Blink in the as of yet titleless X-Men series.

Too bad it's not going to be a real X-Men series, just a TV show with Mutants in it. Kind of like Legion, but having nothing to do with that either.

I thought Logan was well received

According to the showrunner, the new show is actually connected to the X-Men movie universe, whereas Legion is expressly not.

What I mean though is that they should just do an actual TV series on the X-Men themselves. X-Men has way too many characters for the movies to work.

Instead though, the show is going to focus on a random mutant's life living in the X-Men world.

Although everyone agrees that a show is better than movies, what makes you think it's just going to follow a random mutant? All we know is that it exists and Blink is in it

Because Singer had already said what the show as going to be about. It's going to be about two mutant children that have to run away because they are mutants. I'll see if I can find the article that was posted on TFW about it.

That you could say about virtually any of the comic shows on television. (AoS should be the Avengers, Arrow should be Batman, etc.)
