Looking forward to it. 

But I'm pretty stoked to see what they first do with Iron Fist.   ^-^

Typhoid Mary as the main villain seems... underwhelming. Even if she's played by Sigourney Weaver. Whose casting seems likely to change the character so much I don't know why they'd bother.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

After Thanos and Ultron, anything at the street level is going to seem underwhelming.

I'm curious how they're going to tie up the loose Luke Cage ends before Defenders hits the screen.  Is Luke Cage season 2 going to hit first?  And if so, why that one instead of Jessica Jones first?

^Yeah, but Typhoid Mary is really underwhelming.
She's often more of a henchwoman than an actual villain.

Plus, she's supposed to be young and hot (and crazy, and pyrokinetic) in the comics, and a pseudo-romantic-interest
for Daredevil (and far less so, for Deadpool).
So casting an older actress, even if an awesome one, seems questionable.

Btw, has there been more information about the Captain Marvel show?

Btw 2: Patty Walker is already on the Jessica Jones show, so it's probably just a matter of time before she truly
adopts the mantle of Hellcat.

Heck, last time I saw her in the comics (back when she crossed over to being a Deadpool villain thanks to the Deadpool/Daredevil crossover -- which was amazing, naturally), she wasn't even pyrokinetic.

Seems like undead vampire ninjas (or worse, if not outright Dracula), having been set up in DD season 2, would be the proper go-to here. Maybe the writers are going to make Mary be a thousand-year-old daughter of Dracula now??  ???

Oh, I know - I was a big fan of the JJ show and thought it was awesome the way they'd already set her up to eventually morph into Hellcat.

I'll just be happy to have them all in a single show. I can't keep up with the individual shows.

Think I'm looking forward to their Punisher series more.  Not gonna complain, though.  :nerd:

The first part of my prophecy has come to pass.

Now, we wait.  :arr:

Can't wait for this....

And the Hand resurrecting people from the dead is actually pretty canon.
It's probably how they can keep their numbers in New York so high considering all the Ninjas that keep getting killed.
