It’s Taking Over Television

Very few movie franchises have ever spun-off canonically on to the television, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe has done so with several shows so far. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Carter and Daredevil are already airing, while Jessica Jones is days away, and Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders and Damage Control are all planned.

Once a genre gets on television and into people’s homes, you can expect it to be a mainstay – and it will continue to bring in new fans episode by episode.

Moreover, while DC don’t actually have any television shows directly connected to their movies, they are certainly contributing to the live action comic book adaptation hype with a number of shows, including Flash, Arrow, Gotham and Supergirl. The existence and future planning of all these series is a sure-fire sign that the genre as an entity isn’t going anywhere.
