My wild speculation is that the shows just haven’t been that good and not watched by enough people islndr Feb 19, 05:05

what i've heard from people who worked on Marvel shows (non-Netflix): they're cheap and they keep hiring very mediocre dudes to run them professor zovek Feb 19, 09:42

Hey! Stop bringing facts into a discussion of conspiracy theories! :P {nm} DTravel Feb 19, 10:36

nah, they have no interest in helping Disney, thats all. {nm} Moviesnob Feb 19, 15:15

I have discovered that I enjoy origin stories...so the initial season of all of them were interesting. They are ok as small screen ventures. {nm} Catzan Feb 19, 16:48

yeah they kinda ran out of gas after the first season...although Jessica Jones (which I still iike) did the origin in season 2 instead {nm} tealfan Feb 19, 17:22

i think my main problem with them is they're too slow-paced...sure there's character development, but still too slow even for that...lol {nm} tealfan Feb 19, 17:23

Oh yeah...I second that. Slooooooooow...but you know...when you binge watch all the episodes at once...when you remember it, not so slow. {nm} Catzan Feb 19, 18:15

the people of all races who died serving their country did it so Americans like Kaep had absolute freedom of speech and expression professor zovek Feb 15, 11:02

the owners just paid to settle his collusion lawsuit with Eric Reid against the league, which billionaires usually don't out of the goodness professor zovek Feb 15, 12:17

Thanks for making my point. It was in his best interest not to play. Not sitting out for a cause, but for a payday. {nm} PhoneHome Feb 15, 20:21

as the settlement shows, it was never his choice not to play. white owners blackballed him and paid big to keep it from coming out in public {nm} professor zovek Feb 15, 21:05

No, a court decision would show who was right. A settlement only shows a desire to make it go away. {nm} PhoneHome Feb 16, 02:12

No, a court decision would show who was right. A settlement only shows a desire to make it go away. {nm} PhoneHome Feb 16, 02:13
