Watched some Marvel tv trailers. Did this some months back too. It's how I get an idea of what the shows are like, apart from being familiar withy many of the actors and knowing the characters. I've learned to be able to tell a lot from a trailer.

I have to say I like Jessica Jones, despite the character being from after the period of comics I focus on. I like the actress and she's good. She was good in Breaking Bad, even though her character was an eejit (feeding Jesse heroin). I like the actress's style, her offhand, ironic, bored attitude. The show looks like one of the most promising of the shows. The other good one is Luke Cage. Good actor there. Convincing. Iron Fist and Daredevil of course have lead actors who come off way too soft and wimpy to be playing those characters. Not very good actors either. Oh and Defenders looks like it might be good too, thanks to the presence of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. They cast Scott Glenn as Stick, who's a legendary Daredevil character, and that's very good casting.

Also watched the trailer Agents of Shield, which looks to me like the weak tv cousin of the worst MCU movies. Waste of time.

I've been keeping away from superhero shows, because there's far too many of them, but I'm considering getting into Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and The Defenders sometime. Daredevil and Iron Fist can get stuffed.

Btw, has anybody noticed how Charlie Cox looks awful in that Daredevil mask? With his head shape it just doesn't look right on him. Plus I can't stand how the show's Elektra sounds when she talks.
