My Glee Is Without Restraint

Marvel and Netflix punctuated yesterday’s Blockbuster news this morning with an entertainment bombshell that makes 2015 feel even further away. The House of Ideas is bringing 4 comic book-based series to Netflix, culminating in a “miniseries event”.

The shows will star Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones, and the miniseries will focus on The Defenders (the super-team these characters [amongst others] comprise). From Marvel.com:

Led by a series focused on “Daredevil,” followed by “Jessica Jones,” “Iron Fist” and “Luke Cage,” the epic will unfold over multiple years of original programming, taking Netflix members deep into the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell’s Kitchen, New York.  Netflix has committed to a minimum of four, thirteen episodes series and a culminating Marvel’s “The Defenders” mini-series event that reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.

 
You could also do a Doctor Strange show to really make the Defenders connection.

DD is allowed to be a fan. Or maybe he thought he was buying a DD lunchbox as Matt Murdock.

A smaller venue may be better for some of these lesser known characters, especially ones that are more "street level".

Heroes For Hire...with their lawyer and private investigator. Iron Fist can run a dojo and there will be no end to people they could help. I like it. You could also introduce Cloak and Dagger. There I just wrote the first great connected story arc.

This is awesome news. As to Doc Strange - I'm still hoping out hope for a big screen outing for the Sorcerer Supreme.
