JJ was amazing. I have to admit I was a bit meh on DD-S2 and LC myself, though. It's all very impressive stuff, and I can't point to a fault, but I found myself less excited each episode and eventually not finishing either season.

I hope Dagger has her 80's designed costume, cuz it's the sexiest costume in all of comics. But...it's TV, and Disney, so they'll probably "modernize", it to G-rated.

Casting for Marvel's Runaways revealed. My understanding is that Runaways are teenage children of super villains that become a hero team. http://www.superherohype.com/news/390007-marvels-runaways-cast-revealed
From Wikipedia, but in the order that the Superherohype article posts them... -Gertrude Yorkes, the daughter of time-traveling criminals, used to have an empathic and telepathic link with Old Lace. -Old Lace, a genetically engineered dinosaur from the 87th century, had a telepathic and empathic bond with Gert and Chase. -Nico Minoru, the daughter of dark wizards, is a witch capable of manipulating magic. She is the group's leader. -Alex Wilder, the son of mafia bosses, was a child prodigy at strategic thinking and planning. -Chase Stein, the son of mad scientists, steals his father's flame generating/manipulating gauntlets called "the Fistigons". -Karolina Dean, the daughter of alien invaders, is a solar-powered alien. She is in a relationship with Xavin*. -Molly Hayes**, the daughter of telepathic mutants, is a mutant whose powers include super-strength and invulnerability. *A teen Super-Skrull, not (yet) in the show. ** They changed her surname to Hernandez for the show.
So. Does discussion of Legion go in here, or is this just for the MCU-TV shows? Anyway, the pilot was amazing. Excellent script, acting, and direction; a (possibly, somewhat) schizophrenic main character done seriously despite being part of a superhero adventure. Put whoever did that in charge of the Fox movies, before they die.
3 out of 3 Legion episodes so far, each one absolutely excellent. I can't be the only one watching this, right? If you've been missing it, give it a try. To my mind, it's on par with JJ for best Marvel TV show to date. And that also makes it the first halfway decent X-Menverse production since First Class (which it easily blows out of the water).
I'm juggling so many superhero shows, I can barely process them. I'll just lazily agree with your reviews.
Serinda Swan is Medusa in Inhumans. http://www.superherohype.com/news/391967-serinda-swan-joins-marvels-inhumans-as-medusa The girls were the ones I've been waiting for. Medusa and Crystal are among the most beloved super-heroines. They were even substitute Fantastic Four members at one point. Puts 'em up there with She-Hulk.
Full cast for Inhumans revealed. http://www.cbr.com/marvel-abc-inhumans-full-cast-revealed/ The girl playing Crystal is a complete unknown to me.
First pic of Black Bolt. Aw, come on, no mask!?!?! He lives in a world with Spidey and Cap, I thought we were over this whole "masks are silly", thing. Anyhoo, source. http://www.darkhorizons.com/first-inhumans-set-photos-show-black-bolt/
Molly is the baby of the team (only 10 or so) and once punched the Punisher so hard in the nuts he passed out.
RE: Legion - saw the first episode and was both impressed and...confused...it's not like anything else that's on. I'll get caught up on remaining episodes once my viewing schedule thins some. It's a high priority in terms of "next wave" viewing. RE: Inhumans - Lockjaw! (no, i didn't know who he was or, frankly, ANYTHING about this set of Inhumans - the ones not featured on AoS - but having read about them on io9, I love the ambition of actually using Lockjaw)
