Dardevil is also cancelled

JJ is already far in production and Punisher has just finished filming. But they're probably on the chopping block too. Quite possibly the last Netflix Marvel shows

Well that's unfortunate. I thought they'd get another season out of DareDevil.

Jessica Jones season 2 was an abomination and it deserves to be cancelled. I'd say it was far worse than Iron Fist season 1, and that's really saying something.

That's a shame. Daredevil is IMO the overall best of the Netflix MCU shows with more than one season. Solid first season, the first half of season 2 was great, and season 3 was pretty decent too.

Funny to think that Agents of SHIELD, that other MCU show people barely ever talk about, may end up outliving all of Netflix' output.

This saddens me greatly. I loved Daredevil. Hopefully we'll see a movie or something that wraps up the whole plot.

Unfortunately, Netflix doesn't release how popular shows are on Netflix. For all we know, the could have been running at massive losses.

Seems like disney are trying to get back every property they own to put on the streaming service they're building.

I suspect it's more because it's Netflix/streaming, whereas Agents of Shield is a normal, syndicated/cable show. Out of curiosity, was Agent's of Shield in "continuity" with the Defenders shows?

I only watched a bit of these shows and didn't much care for them, but that aside, I don't think the issue is one of quality or success. It's strictly down to Disney wanting to have their own streaming service with their biggest brand content (ie. Marvel, Star Wars) exclusively on it to sell subs. Having their stuff on Netflix sells Netflix subscriptions, hence the parting of ways.

Yes and no.

Yes, in the sense that all MCU tv shows ostensibly take place in the same universe as the movies. No, in that there are no in-show ties between Agents of SHIELD and the Netflix shows. I haven't watched all of either side, but I don't remember any character cameos between them or plot points from one affecting the other.

The Netflix shows barely feel like they're part of the MCU anyway, aside from one Stan Lee cameo, a few shots of Stark Tower in the New York skyline, and very sporadic mentions of major events from the Cap America and Avengers movies in early seasons. Nothing that happens in the Netflix shows affects the rest of the MCU in any way, and vice versa is basically also true. I can get why since the Defenders are street level superheroes, so the focus is on street level events, whereas the movies (save maybe Spidey) all operate on a far bigger scale (both in-universe and out).

Agents of SHIELD ties into the movies a lot more. Agents Phil Coulson is a main character. Cameos from Nick Fury, Agent Hill and Lady Sif. Frequent references to movie events and a lot of the early seasons dealt with the aftermath of Winter Soldier, Avengers and Age of Ultron. It also holds the distinction of being the only show to have an effect on the movies, if a minor one. The Avengers' attack on Hydra in the opening of Age Of Ultron? Direct result of intel obtained in the show.

I'm not convinced they are being cancelled due to quality issues.

It seems off to me that they are all going at the same time. Playing the odds, you'd expect at least one to survive. It looks to me more like Netflix and Marvel parting ways. This might be heavily connected to Disney opening a new streaming service. Either Netflix does not want to sell Disney IP as originals (and thus potentially via Marvel crossover encourage viewers to Disney) or Disney is pulling them to claim total control of the Marvel stable.

This is Grade A bullshit. Fucking Captain Planet, one of the most embarrassing parts of my childhood, gets a feature film while the best show about an actually GOOD hero gets the ax. NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS!!!

This is more and more seeming like the case. For Disney it makes sense to not let strong Marvel shows continue on other platforms, especially if they have their own plans on making a Disney Streaming Marvel Universe.

Standard *oh my god who cares* Peter Griffin reaction. Doesn't Marvel have like ten shows running already?

Yes, but unlike most of them, Daredevil is actually and consistently really good. It's more a dark crime drama and less ?another superhero show.? It?s got excellent acting and writing and is one of few Marvel affairs that can be enjoyed by non-Marvel fans (i.e.: my girlfriend hates most hero movies/shows, but she loves Daredevil.) It?s not strictly about Daredevil and doesn?t serve purely as a vehicle to display his powers like most superhero fodder tends to be; hell, half the time, he?s not even in his costume.

its quite clear that no one from Agents of Shield talked to the Russo brothers for the last season. Infinity War was released on the same day as the finale, I think. (I only watched AoS a month ago, I was trying to trace the timing. They specifically reference the Battle of Wakanda. But there is nothing about snappenings)

That's not surprising. Fiege and Loeb absolutely hate each other and now keep the film and TV arms pretty separate. I do wonder if its a power play by Fiege as Loeb's range of shows has increased over the last couple of year with Legion, Runaways and The Gifted

There's no big crossovers, but there's a couple of little details that I noticed from Daredevil S1; Matt's dad fought in a boxing match against Carl "Crusher" Creel who first appeared in person in Agents where it is mentioned he used to be a boxer (he used his Absorbing Man powers to make his fists steel beneath the gloves). And both Matt and Daisy/Skye went to the same orphanage while they were growing up.

But on the downside this means that we won't get Agent's version of Ghost Rider popping up in the Netflix shows, which is disappointing

You need to make sure that everyone knows you don't care. Its the polite thing to do

That's very interesting. It definitely seems like there's a clear distinction with the Netflix shows and Agents (as well as the short lived Peggy Carter spin off).

Based on these articles, Disney are already planning shows for Disney +, including a Rogue One prequel (a prequel prequel?), The Mandalorian and spin-off shows for Loki, Scarlett Witch, Winter Soldier and Falcon.

The Mouse House are clearly trying to just get back creative control over all their properties and will likely be relaunching a new set of shows with these Netflix lot being a learning exercise. I don't think they could get away with keeping the same cast so it would likely be a reboot.

It does raise interesting questions tho, since these shows were interlinked the way they were. What happens when *one* of the shows gets cancelled, but not the others? The MCU itself will have similar issues soon enough when the actors from phase 1 (cap, iron man, thor) will be moving on. The universe they inhabited still exists but those characters aren't in it anymore. Without Iron Fist and Luke Cage, could DD, JJ and Punisher have continued, after they linked them all together?

The CW network had that with the "Arrowverse" shows. Arrow and Flash were both on the same network, so existed in the same universe. Supergirl wasn't however, so they weren't linked despite all being DC heroes. I think Supergirl eventually got picked up by the same network, but because it's technically in a different universe, she has to use a dimension portal to meet the Flash. Legends of Tomorrow I think is also in-universe with them. Shame they're all so bad...I watched some of them at first but they're so amateurish and badly written I had to stop.
