On to comic corner:
Constantine: City of Demons got compiled into a film and is THE hard-R adaptation fans have been waiting for since the late 80s. Venom was a mess and a half but weirdly comic accurate, despite going widely off canon. Watch it for Tom Hardy´s it-has-to-be-seen-to-be-believed performance that single-handedly carries the film.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is another CW style teen drama thingy, so I stopped after the pilot. The sadly quickly canceled source comic was way more interesting.
Cloak & Dagger totally burned out by the end of S01. I am done.
Iron Fist S02 was mostly a shit show and deserved to be canned. That is coming from someone who ultimately liked S01. A shame about Luke Cage also being canceled.
Both of them and the destined to be canceled with S03 Jessica should join shows as the Heroes for Hire. Unless Marvel @ Netflix is done for good due to the Fox merger in 2019.
Daredevil, on the other hand, had another tour de force season. I again saw it in one sitting. Many more seasons for him and the Punisher, please. And a Moon Knight show, if possible.
DC Universe lastly started very strong with Titans. I wonder if it was intended to be a spin-off from the dearly departed Synder-verse? Starfire, now a female Shaft (!), burned sex traffickers to death, Raven is Linda Blair stand-in, a totally unhinged Robin served a criminal´s penis with gardening shears and Hawk & Dove might as well be Nite Owl and Silk Specter. Geoff Johns worked on both the DCEU and now these shows and you can tell.
Next week will introduce the spin-off Doom Patrol and Swamp Thing is less than a year away. 2 Thumbs Up.
