Its jupiters legacy, it was based on a mid mark millar comic series. It also got an animated show that people remember more because it has a scene of a boy with electric power accidentaly killing a bunch of people while trying to be a hero.
Even if the shows flop, it doesn't really matter because Netflix can also tout the sheer size of their catalogue to potential customers. Or I guess that's their plan. Sign up for Netflix, we have thousands of shows for you to never watch and scroll mindlessly through until you find something good when we'll promptly cancel it.
I wouldn't even mind this so much if all the shots were on wildly diverse ideas but it's all just on indistinguishable cape shit.
i could understand that strategy if they were funding shows for maybe one-tenth this cost, but 200 million of uncle sam's own dollars going towards shit like this just makes me think the graft is immense.
The only Netflix production I enjoyed from beginning to end was Queen's Gambit.
Damn, we should all sign for various things. (I know this isn't how it works, I don't know anyone in the biz)
five fingers on each hand (i feel crazy because i seriously do this with every weird image i see now)
Isn't punisher marvel
also punisher is actually just fascist propaganda
launder the money by paying out to phoney production companies. You take in dirty money you take a cut and also use it to payoff the legit production expenses and pay out the rest as clean money to production companies set up to take in cleaned money
I don't know if that's what they did but if I was going to use a production of a tv show to launder money that's how I'd do it
Beef was pretty good, so for a few days there I was seriously worried that Netflix was getting its act together, but I guess not!
They're all over the map. You just gotta take the good with the bad.
Jupiter's Legacy is two or five years old by now but Beef is brand new so you were right all along.
The continued existence of Netflix is the perfect way to explain the concept of first mover advantage.
Kinda weird they did the same thing to her tits that they did to their cocks.
A cod piece should look like its covering a dick. These are like cod under wires. It says "There's definitely something under here but I swear its not a dick."
I slogged through this to see how they became super powered and was mightily pissed off that it was already fucking canceled lol
They never really explained it in the comics still. Like they did, but not in depth because it doesn’t matter.
The entire Jupiter’s Legacy comic can be breezed through quickly in maybe an hour. There isn’t enough there for a multi-season TV show.
I don’t even think the TV show made it halfway through issue 2.
I can't even imagine how 200 million dollars is spent on this shit. Is that like the only other super hero shit Netflix could aquire so they went balls to the wall thinking THAT was their ticket to comic book nerd hype?
That company has wayyy more money than sense. It's just a bunch of annoying poindexter snobs all chilling around a giant wooden table and each one of them thinks their the smartest person in the room. :michael-laugh:
It has a very similar vibe to the Boys, one of the main scenes in the comics is where basically Superman and Wonder Woman get jumped and brutally murdered by several dozen members of the Justice League who then establish an authoritarian dictatorship in an effort to eliminate crime.
