Netflix Cancels The Punisher and Jessica Jones, Ending its Marvel Shows (cnet.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Netflix is officially no longer producing Marvel's live-action shows. The streaming service has canceled both The Punisher and Jessica Jones, according to Deadline, with the latter's third season set to debut as the last batch of Marvel live-action episodes on Netflix. "We are grateful to Marvel for five years of our fruitful partnership and thank the passionate fans who have followed these series from the beginning," a Netflix representative told Deadline. Netflix didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
No, but they have an inquisition staring them down, looking for any sign of face crime. Should any of them so much as flinch, they'll be crucified as "racist, sexist, xenophobic, transphobic, [insert new favourite insult of the intersectional fanatics here]".
That movie was average at best. But it had blacks as main cast, and the same inquisition has been desperately trying to crucify Hollywood crowd for "insufficient representation of blacks at awards". Remember "Oscars so white" in spite of the fact that black representation was pretty much equal to percentage of population that blacks are in US?
And when the beast of that ferocity and insanity is ogling you, salivating in hunger for blood, you'll throw it anything to get it to look at someone else. Which is exactly what's happening there.
