Might as well throw this one out there too, a teaser for Jupiter's Legacy which is a funny book by Mark Millar (Kick Ass, Kingsman) being brought to the small screen:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESogX...
Shadow and Bone looks well done (great music by 2WEI), and Zero seems unique too.
God, Netflix puts out a lot of derivative crap.
Netflix, April 9, Thunder Force, a superhero comedy: https://youtu.be/qnx6-YLXFwgMelissa McCarthy, Octavia Spencer, Bobby Cannavale, Pom Klementief and Jason Bateman? I’m in.

This looks hilarious
Directed by James Gunn from The Guardians of the Galaxy
I thought the "Like Victorian Heroes" comment on the video was very accurate.
Jupiter’s Legacy, Netflix, for anyone who really wanted a superhero show straight out of 1989.https://youtu.be/TY3IAqm-gpE

Looks like fun."
Is this canon?
It seems like the Marvel equivalent of the Star Trek show Lower Decks. Maybe it's canon. But Marvel has a multiverse now, so maybe all the Marvel TV is canon for a universe in the multiverse now.

I think they've given up trying to shoe horn every inconsistency that previous shows like Agents of SHIELD had and just start fresh.
I remember reading somewhere that Disney had been given the ok to ignore everything previous, except the movies and even there they are given leeway to bend the rules.
This is nothing new. Both DC and Marvel have never worried too much about continuity in the comics more than a few years back.
Sweet Tooth, Netflix, June 4th.https://youtu.be/GrBw0pbF11s
Based on a comic book: Sweet Tooth, Volume 1: Out of the Deep Woods

The trailer isn't selling me that the TV series is going to be as good. But I will definitely watch to find out.
Speaking of canon, I was wondering if Mortal Kombat was canon...

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the first season. A real under-the-radar... well, “treat” isn’t exactly the right word for a brutal zombie show, but I liked it quite a lot.
Next Edgar Wright movie, Last Night in Soho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB9WU...The dark time travel story kind of reminds me of what I think Lauren Beukes's The Shining Girls was (coming to Apple TV).
