all this discussion about the test has me wondering, did they go into detail about that in the jupiters circle comics?

I loved the jupiters legacy ones but couldnt handle more than a couple pages of the art in jupiters circle. Do they show the test somewhere in those?

Just finished this tonight. As others have said, it is merely okay.

EDIT: Yeah, the questions I had have been discussed.

It's over.

Netflix has released the cast of “Jupiter’s Legacy,” effectively bringing the show to an end after one season.​

ooph. thats rough... so the best part of the story, never got told.

on the other hand.. Supercrooks was probably Millar's best book, and that could be great.

Ocean's 11 with superpowers.

how much did netflix pay for Millarworld? hard to believe they spent 3+ years just to get this one going to end it so fast.

After American Gods I've decided to never invest my heart into anything ever again so while this is a let down I will not shed a tear.

And this is all on the showrunners. the insane choice with the jumping back and forth in time. showing the prequel before the main storyline. the retarded filler for the current timeline they added in.

All they had to do with make the comic as it was. Do Jupiter's Legacy. Set the stakes. THEN go back and show how we got to that point..

That got cancelled so fast. It was a terrible show. Just surprised it was so quick.

Well fuck I just started watching this. Yeah just ok so far. 1920's shit is pretty cool and way more interested in that. Only current day stuff I like is the dude with the rod teleporting around. He's about the only interesting person in the show. I didn't even give a shit when those kid heroes died. I actually laughed.

I think that was the major problem. The flashbacks were 100% more interesting than the actual present day storyline.

Really surprised they already axed it. While not great I wanted to see it play knowing there was twists coming

Really strange for Netflix to cancel something so soon as well. Has that happened before?

Not sure about soon after, but that show about high school kids vs. zombies got axed not too long after it premiered. Not as fast as Jupiter, though

By virtue of their knowledge of exact viewership including full demographics etc Netflix is able to construct very detailed models for future viability and growth. Having a cancel get issued this fast is a clear sign that even a retooling wouldn't be seen as saving it.

What a bummer. I really wanted to see what happened on the island. Wonder what it was that killed it. I would have thought it would get similar ratings as other superhero themed shows; it was 1000x better than any of the flash-arrow-legends garbage on CW.

The flash back shit is actually quite interesting, wish they would just kill off the druggie daddy issues daughter.
other than that this show is pretty meh.
I really wanted the show to stay on the world building, but the kid shit was just stupid.

The island is where my interest peaked for the show. THAT late into it. I have no experience with the source material, so I dont have a tainted view of anything. If they would have stayed in the old time line though? I dont think anyone would have gotten the CW series type of vibes and probably be far better rated.

which exactly was it. As the present day storyline was all filler, serving no point. A holding pattern setting up the history in flashbacks, for the "REAL" current day storyline to begin, maybe? in season 2. A beyond idiotic idea, as it set up no stakes at all. no real conflict.

the comic is good though. just read it.

Chloe gets her shit together.
