No, watching one episode, the first one especially, is NOT enough to judge an entire series. You cannot watch the first episodes of The Wire, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, American Gods, Hannibal, or Westworld and make final judgement then and there. To properly judge the series as a whole you do need to watch them in their entirety as they intend to tell season long to series long story arcs. 1 episode is more than enough. That's how network executives decide whether or not to pick up a TV show. By watching the pilot episode only, not an entire season. In 2011, there was a pilot episode for a new Wonder Woman TV series starring Adrienne Palicki as Wonder Woman. The pilot episode was never aired on TV (because the network executives decided after watching the pilot episode not to pick up the series), but I've seen the pilot episode and it was awful and I can see why network executives passed on it. Same with the pilot episode of Jessica Jones. It was really boring and crappy. And that's enough to judge Jessica Jones as being the worst superhero show ever made. Most scholars of the medium of TV and professional critics of the medium would agree that you cannot judge a whole show by just its first episode That's exactly how network executives judge a TV show when they're deciding whether or not to pick up the show. They watch the pilot episode only. They don't watch the entire season. And that's also exactly how Emmy voters judge a TV show when they're voting for the best TV shows. They watch 1 episode only of each nominated show. They don't watch the entire season. Rights to adapt Fleming's novel were complicated and thus allowed another studio to produce a version of their own with Connery back in the role. The Joker stand-alone movie and the rest of the DCEU is produced all by Warner Bros. so its a pointless and confusing business venture. And that was of no concern to most general movie audiences. For most general audiences, it was simply just 2 James Bond movies in the same year starring 2 different actors as James Bond. Same with the Marvel movies. Fox or MCU-produced is of no concern to most general audiences. For most general audiences, they simply just see the "Marvel" logo at the beginning of the movies and associate the movie with Marvel comics. No, going off of one episode is not "more than enough", its actually "less than enough." That is especially true if you're calling it "the worst superhero show ever made", how is it "the worst superhero show ever made"? If it bored you, fine, but worst superhero show ever made? So its as bad as that Justice League pilot from the 1997 with the Crypt Keeper himself Jon Kassir playing The Atom? Network executives make the most mistakes in handling television, that's why cable networks like HBO, AMC, Starz, and Showtime and streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime are where top notch, high quality entertainment thrive and are able to live up to their fullest potential. Network TV rarely offers content that actually stands toe to toe with what HBO, AMC and Netflix produce, and when they do they do not last very long - Look at Hannibal, a show that aired on NBC of all places but had as much depth, character growth, acting talent, and visual flare that made it rival some of cable's top dramas around the time. NBC also got rid of Community, which thankfully found a new home in Yahoo and managed to finish its series plan( just needs a movie now). So who cares what they think? And no, the Emmy's do watch more than one episode to a series, that is how they actually are able to critique the program and see if its deserving of an award or not. I'm pretty sure people were confused about seeing two Bond films in the same year, and went with the one that was actually set in continuity with the other films hence why Octopussy made more than the stand alone venture Never Say Never Again, which had only one gimmick - Connery back as Bond. A lot of people are aware the difference between a Marvel Studios release and one that is from a different studio that just so happens to be making a film based on their content. Continuity is in, why do you think so many studios in Hollywood are trying to ride on the cinematic universe train? |
