So We Have a Daredevil
Not that there was any hope that Ben Affleck would come back to play Daredevil again for the Netflix series. That’s probably for the best. Instead, Marvel has cast actor Charlie Cox in the role of blind attorney Matt Murdock, to star in the new Daredevil TV show that will come out next year. You may know Cox from Boardwalk Empire. I only know him from the movie Stardust, which I haven’t seen in many years, so I don’t remember anything about Charlie Cox.
But he’s the new TV Daredevil, so good for him!
I honestly don’t have much opinion on this. I’m very happy to see the Netflix series going forward. I can’t wait to see all of them. I’m super-excited to see what Marvel can do with a Daredevil TV show. I’m sure Cox is a great guy.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The first season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been over for a few weeks now, and I would have done this list sooner, but Godzilla and X-Men: Days of Future Past had to be addressed (and both were entertaining movies). I’ve come to the general conclusion that I don’t think I would be a very good TV reviewer. I don’t have the time or energy to really tackle each episode when it airs, and I’m pretty subjective when it comes to TV. So in order to tackle these popular shows, I like to wrap up my thoughts in a List of Six.
Expect my thoughts on the second season for Arrow next week. And today, let’s talk about the first season of Agents of S.H.I.E.LD.!
What a pain in the butt title to have to write out
First things first, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. didn’t live up to the hype. There’s no way around it. This was billed as a TV tie-in to the amazing Marvel Cinematic Universe, produced by Joss Whedon himself, and the hype was through the roof last Summer. But I think we can all agree that the show just didn’t measure up. But I stuck with it every week and saw every episode, and I’m going to be tuning in next season. So you better believe I have some thoughts.
Join me after the jump! Also, expect FULL SPOILERS for the entire first season.
The Trial of Tyrion Lannister
Since there was no new Game of Thrones this past weekend, I thought today would be the perfect day to indulge in some more awesome Only Leigh animation! Behold her silly, animated vision of the trial of Tyrion Lannister!
Ser Pounce remains probably the best character in the show. No doubt he’ll be dead before the end of Season 4.
Epic, Full-Length Flash Trailer Reveals Everything!
Holy Guacamole, you guys! No sooner did The CW release that brief Flash teaser yesterday than they’ve come out with a full, 5-minute long trailer that reveals freaking everything for the new The Flash show! We’ve got Barry Allen, his supporting cast, his origin, the origin of his costume, the Weather Wizard, the death of his mom, the origin of metahumans, Vibe, it’s…it’s glorious!
Behold!
I love it. The show looks a little weird, a little kitschy, but I kind of like that too! I like the lead actor, I like the costume, I looooove the special effects! And I especially love the Green Arrow cameo. The show might have some growing pains, I think at the beginning. But it otherwise looks gorgeous.
First Teaser for Flash TV Show is Aptly Over Quickly
Did you guys and gals see Arrow‘s season finale? It was a badass adventure, to be sure. It also gave us our first look at the new Flash show in motion!
I don’t know about you, but I got a real sense of a growing Justice League from watching that clip. There’s just something really stirring about seeing live action superheroes hang out together. I grow more excited for the Flash show with every new bit I see.
