By the end of this year, there will be — or will have been — at least 10 comic book-themed shows.
The Daily Dot created an infographic comparing all 10 — including a few that have not even premiered yet — to show just how formulaic they all are…yes even, the awesome, fan-favorite Daredevil on Netflix.
At least half of all the shows have the following in common:
- Are crime procedurals;
- Feature a white male lead;
- ‘Hero’ is either an orphan or had a bad childhood;
- Center around vigilante crime-fighting;
- Feature too many lesser-known comic book characters
Does the formulaic nature of these shows bother you? What type of comic book-based show would YOU like to see?
