    Yeah, I guess I can see that.
    Never seen those, and I honestly forgot they even existed until I saw this post.

    I can see where that makes sense, trying to do the military thing on a regular basis probably could get pretty expensive.

    I didn't even consider that with Betty, I guess maybe it is a good thing she didn't show up.
    As for Rick, I wouldn't necessarily mean for him to have been a regular part of the show, even just a one off appearance could have been fun.
    I've never heard that before, but I can see where it would have been a pretty drastic change to the show.[/QUOTE]

    IIRC, when Marv & George created Nightwing, it was purely to get the character out from under the Batman editor's purview, as there were things they wanted to do with Dick that said editor (Denny maybe?) didn't want done with Robin. Since YJ has both Robin and Nightwing, there probably are credits for Kane & Finger in eps Robin is in.

    Hmm... I wonder how they did it in Titans since Dick doesn't become Nightwing until season 2?

    Anyway, probably a bit of a nightmare in situations like that.

    Chris certainly is, even with the "skinny legs".

    Those are pretty cool, if they're legit.

    Her armor is almost identical to the comic book armor, just red where the Marvel Legends figure of her has yellow color.

    If you go back to page 408 there was a poster leaked that confirmed the looks of Thor and Jane



    [​IMG]

    It's not a movie level type of poster but more something you see at Walmart.

    See the part about not noticing ;)

    Both the poster and your reference.

    That seems like a bit of a stretch to me. We're only talking two writers, one of which was the story editor on 'The Punisher' which had the least amount of connection to anything Marvel out of the whole Marvel Netflix stable, and the other only wrote like two episodes of the third season of Daredevil. Not exactly the creative forces behind it all, or responsible for any particular character's "voice". Granted the latter is also credited as a CEP, but it's always hard to tell when that actually means anything. An EP credit can mean they're the most important creative person on the show, or the least.

    It's even less significant when you start looking up all the other writers that worked on these shows and realise that they've also worked on a LOT of superhero and genre shows from Arrow to Krypton, to Runaways and Cloak & Dagger, Constantine to Umbrella Academy. There's a lot of crosspollination of talent that goes on. And yet these two? Not so much.

    I'm not saying it's insignificant per see (and certainly not denigrating anyone's talent or past contributions), but in this particular case I don't think it's as significant as that article would have people believe.

    Getting the "Creative Force" behind DD and Punisher means getting Jeph Loeb. And he's the last thing the MCU needs.

    I'm not too thrilled if this was true. I liked DD Season 1, but even it had the same pacing issues of all the Marvel Netflix shows (feeling like 8-9 episode series stretched out to 13). Plus, we definitely don't need anyone who worked on the show post Season 1, considering how terrible Season 2 was and how the show ruined characters like Elektra and Bullseye.
