Early-mid December I blogged about Jessica Jones, got side tracked and went on about comic book conversions to TV. I am now almost done with Season 2 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and I have to say the reviews are right, it does get better with time.
Agent Carter (Season Two) has been off to a good start however the ratings in the USA seem a little low for any chance of a third outing particularly with a new half an hour series in development at ABC, Marvel's Damage Control.
Agent Carter generally has the most brilliant fashion on American TV and it's throwback to the 1940's and the start of S.H.I.E.L.D is great. Unfortunately I think the show is doomed like a lot of other ABC shows which are currently airing finished a shortened season.
Along with Carter, the promos are coming in for the new season of Daredevil, set to air (all episodes) March 18. Jessica Jones has been given a second series (most likely to air in 2017) and the Luke Cage series will air this year after getting a bit of a run in the first series of Jessica Jones.
Along with the TV domination, Deadpool is the R Rated Marvel film headed to our screens next week. The point of difference here is the language, graphic violence and sexual nature of the film. An R Rated superhero film, how will this work? Kick Ass was close to this and was a cult hit, well until the sequel surfaced.
Not only is Deadpool out this year we will have another X-Men film and a Captain American featuring Iron Man film. Doctor Strange will also get a big screen outing, taking this to four Marvel films in 2016, and another four set for 2017.
Comic Book heroes are really and truly all the rage still on the big and small screen but how long can this last and continue to draw the crowds at the box office and generate (decent) ratings and online chatter for the series?
On a quick side note on Australian TV, the much anticipated MOLLY starts tonight and staying with music well done to the Flashing off the Record album of the week, This is Acting by Sia, reaching Number One in Australia. Great job Sia, holding off Adele for another week at Number One. This is two Australian Number one albums back to back. Last week Sydney's Rufus second album Bloom took the top spot.
Next week's Flashing off the Record feature album is set to be the brilliant debut album from New York Duo, Lion Babe.
Tonight I will publish another Summer Music List based on the best Duo's kicking around right now. So make sure you visit Flashing off the Record for another HOT Summer Music List.
Hopefully dear readers I will get back to the cinema next week to check out Steve Jobs and I also am desperate to see Deadpool, let's hope it's good and Ryan Reynolds gets a return to form gig.
