Not a lot going on tonight with the brain stuff… just enough mind power to dream up…
Some Thoughts:
- Wondering about how the Agents of Shield show will be able to wrap up or pause their current story arc in order to link up with the upcoming Avengers movie. I’d be surprised if they don’t. There are already thin linkages to the new Daredevil show that mention the Avengers but don’t cater to the storyline.
- Speaking of Daredevil, the show is legit. This is an attempt to tell a Marvel story that isn’t about super powers and isn’t about super agents. This is about a dude who, while having powers, isn’t the Hulk or anyone. He gets tired and bleeds and worries about people. He even tries to separate right from wrong in the dark land of the vigilante.
- Speaking of comics, the first comic book was published in 1802. It was called the Wasp, and had no relation to the modern character of the same name (and Avengers pedigree).
- What happened to story innovation? As I read through this latest slate of fantasy and fiction books I see nothing new and exciting. I don’t see new ideas. Even Game of Thrones is rote–bloody and sex-filled, but rote.
