I finished watching the second and final season of Iron Fist on Monday. On the whole, I found it to be a substantial improvement on the first season, though there were a couple episodes, particularly episode 7, that were so dumb I almost stopped watching. However, I thought episode 8, written by Melissa Glenn, was brilliant, so I kept going. The final two episodes (the season had only ten) were . . . well, fascinating. Partially in a "train wreck" way.

Word came recently that Charlie Cox will be reprising his role as Daredevil from the Netflix series. Now, of course, he'll be on Disney+, hopefully with something approaching the quality of his previous appearances, despite Disney once again cheaping out on the writing staff. Showrunners on the new series will be Matt Corman and Chris Ord, whose previous credits aren't nearly as illustrious as the legendary first season of Daredevil. News of the new series came at around the time I finally finished watching 2017's The Defenders, the big team up event series that followed the first two seasons of Daredevil and the first seasons of Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. The Defenders had some strong moments but overall it was disappointing.

+ On March 16, the Marvel Netflix shows will all appear on the streaming service, meaning the whole Defenders crew. If anybody's looking to arrange a community rewatch, now might be the time ;)

+ March 30th Moon Knight premieres! Anybody up for doing the community reaction posts? (due to my job, I'm eternally not available for this) The Best Marvel Moon Knight Comics to Read Before the MCU Series from CBR looks to be a good comics primer, and not with a long list of things to read.

+ May 25th Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres. And it seems composer John Williams has returned to write the score!

+ Ms Marvel is still listed as TBD Summer 2022, and She-Hulk a general 2022 TBD. Ironheart seems to have slipped over to a 2023 TBD (starts filming in June 2022).

+ Throwing a promo in here: [community profile] superhero_land has relocated to Dreamwidth, and will be starting up a new round soon. Apply for a team here. Anything from Marvel and DC are covered as Acceptable Fandoms, including the comics. That covers Star Wars as well.

+ If anybody is interested in co-modding, please do let me know.
