Marvel Cinematic Universe
I currently have no interest in the newer/upcoming Marvel movies, and pretty much the only ones I'm rewatching at all right now are those from Phase One and Guardians of the Galaxy. I've also given up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. So, you know, the hype about the recent trailer? Isn't doing much of anything for me. Which is kind of sad, considering how much I was in love with the MCU just a few years ago.
I think that part of it is that the comic event said movie was (loosely) inspired by? Actually made me stop reading Marvel comics for years, so the fact that they're bringing it into the MCU is bothering me more than it probably should. Bitter? Me? Where would you get that idea? :-/
That said, I did actually enjoy Agent Carter (and hope that enjoyment continues with the second season) and am pretty positive about the various Netflix series. I think the fact that they're more self-contained, with the broader events of the MCU being more background noise is helping with that. Although gods only know what I'll do if they start tying into the movies more in the future.
Anyway, I've (finally!) watched all of Daredevil. And I absolutely loved it, which surprised me a bit. The various comic titles starring Daredevil have never been my favorites, but I really enjoyed this adaptation. I love the characters and their relationships with each other.
I'm also currently watching Jessica Jones, which so far is as awesome as I was hoping it would be. Because, you know, it's Jessica fucking Jones. ♥ It's also very heavy, so I can't binge watch it like I did Daredevil. Gore and physical violence I can handle in large doses, but the psychological aspect that's so prevalent in Jessica Jones? Not so much.
