 Ryan is great as Deadpool.
 

Welcome to Wrexam is pretty good too.  Ryan and Rob McElhenney have great chemistry together.

I am not sure I will bother with the last two. Disney's TV track record
has been... well, not good. And I never watched The 'Flix's "Daredevil".

I liked iHeart in the comics, but they kind of screwed her up in the
movies. Basically she was a high school girl who was poor but super smart
and she figured if Tony Stark could build a super suit in a cave in a shit
hole country she should be able to build one in her mom‘s garage. She did,
and Stark took her under his wing, and he’s the AI in her suit.

 The fact that they've been sitting on iHeart for so long doesn't
suggest they believe in their own product.
 

Very frustrating, but I'll decide for myself if it's good or not.

I never liked the Netflix daredevil. They’d beat him to shit one night and
he’d be fine the next morning like he had wolverines healing power or
something.

 That seems to be standard for heroes in the Marvel universe. Doesn't
matter that they haven't had super soldier serum or gammaized blood.
 

“Agatha all along“?!? WT actual F?
Is that the Agatha Harkness series?
