I'm completely fine with the pairing, but I agree that the fallout of spoilers:end of spoilers Things got a little wobbly between the Nico, and Karolina but it could have easily toppled if they wanted to go more dramatic with things.
Nico finding out that Jonah killed her sister, followed by Nico "Killing" Johan didn't have as much impact as it could have.

I'm also interested in seeing major fallout from the fact that Leslie killed Molly's parents, and is now living in the Hostel.

Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

I finished this last night, better than season 1 across the board. Much better that they allowed this to be binged. And now... I have nothing to watch atm. I guess I'll check out that interactive netflix black mirror movie later tonight.

That's still pretty criminal, and almost the perfect mix of street and political criminalization, at that. Kingpin has a team of such lawyers, but Alex's mom is actually embedded in the government.

I wouldn't be surprised if the showrunners took a page from Alvarez' book to write Alex's mom this way.

At this point I'm wondering if Alex's mom is worse than his dad. She's at least JUST as bad at this point. Regardless of what she does in her day job, she's clearly a criminal. Originally Posted by Qwerty

Finished Season 2 now. It was a great improvement (not that I hated Season 1, it just had some room for improvement).
But man, why did it have to have this cliffhanger ending? Why do ALL shows nowadays do that?
I really hope for a third season.

Not just that it was a cliffhanger ending, but the reveal was kinda cheesy, too. Originally Posted by Anarchist

When they renewed for season 2, they gave them a season 3.
Hulu tends to renew in pairs of seasons as to give shows a chance to end when the interest wanes."Always listen to the crazy scientist with a weird van or armful of blueprints and diagrams." -- Vibranium

Elizabeth Hurley will play Morgan Le Day in season 3

That was unexpected.

Yeah, it's a little weird. In the comics thread I speculated that le Fay was going to be used as a stand in for Marie Laveau (A character that has history with Nico Minoru) but now I'm really unsure.
With the current speculation that the show might be crossing over with Cloak and Dagger at some point they might be using le Fay to double down on the mysticism. Then they can use Marie Laveau as a mutual villain.Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

That's pretty cool. I would almost expect them to save her for the movies, but Runaways getting her is pretty cool. Nice thing about Runaways is the team is made up of such a diverse group of people, from magic to tech to mutants to aliens to street level guys, that really ANY sort of villain theoretically fits.

I like this choice in actress and character. A mystic side to the MCU TV version. Bring on Ghost Rider. The Runaways ought to be speechless when he first shows up.

It sounds like Cloak & Dagger are set to appear during Season 3 first. Originally Posted by hulahulk

The idea of some cross over stuff would be pretty cool. Maybe magic can sort of bridge together several TV shows. Maybe have Morgan float over into multiple shows. Originally Posted by BeastieRunner
