Will this have a sub-genre like the other shows?


What I love most about the netflix series is that each of the character's shows have such a distinctive style to them with a specific subgenre in addition to the action/superhero category.

Daredevil = Mob/Gangster Crime Drama

Jessica Jones = Neo-Noir

Luke Cage = Blaxploitation

Iron Fist = Kung Fu


It will be interesting to show these styles converge into one cohesive show and I wonder if it'll have a unique aesthetic to it. Hopefully they have something in mind to make this special. What genre/style could they adopt? Or could it succeed simply being a sci-fi fantasy superhero team up?

The second half of Daredevil season 2 wasn't crime drama, it was ninja.

I guess it depends on the bad guys.

Follow the formula.

Originally the MCU went...
Iron Man
Hulk
Iron Man 2
Thor
Cap
All together in Avengers

Now Netflix is
Daredevil
Jessica Jones
Daredevil 2
Luke Cage
Iron Fist
All together in Defenders

So whatever solo movie Avengers most feels like (I'd say Iron Man) should line up with its counterpart (Daredevil)
