[QUOTE="Kramodlog, post: 6598388, member: 55961"] Ha ha, that would be witty... if it were. Marvel is very aware of superhero fatigue. This why movies are something more than superhero flicks now. Captain Murika 2 was a spy thriller. Guardians of the Galaxy was an action comedy in space. Ant-Man is a heist movie. Spider-Man won't get a new origine story from his Civil War appearence. Disney is aware of the problem. Besides, audiences are savvier about superheroes now. Does the same story need to be told again? With what they are doing with Netflix it seems new and they are moving away from origine stories. DareDevil moved away from it. Jessica Jones is another potential interesting example when we read what we know about the show. This is what is on the wikipedia page: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.K.A._Jessica_Jones[/url] We are far from a supehero origine story. She is a retired superhero starting a P.I. business. We might get flashbacks of how she got her powers and why she retired, but this is a show about a P.I. in a world with superheroes. A superhero origine story? Nah. Flashbacks do not automatically mean origine story. In the show Luke Cage will be introduced before he gets his own show: Now this is the origine of how they met, sure. I wonder if he will get his origine story in her show and it will be delt with when he gets his. [/QUOTE]
