@chicago_bastard:
If I go by the people I know (none of them interested in comic books), no one of them ever heard of Jessica Jones, they don't even know that a TV show with that name exists. Outside of the comic community these shows are an obscurity. The Wonder Woman movie on the other hand is very well known even amongst non-comicfans, almost everybody under a certain age heard of it and some did even go see it.
Thats a false Argument too. many people heard or knew of Wonder Woman way before the film came out. Back in 2000s in the military people across the seas who never heard of comic books knew the jist of Wonder Woman and what she looked like. So that argument of yours is a bust. WW was simply a huge character period for female heroes before the film.
But let's not speak about the limited number of people we know personally when we can look at something that should give us a good clue of how the viewers compare. I'm speaking of imdb votings: Defenders has 72.000 votes, JJ 168.000 and WW 466.000.
So your argument is purely people who took time to vote on IMDB? I never vote on such sites and invested in this shit. So what does that say about the accuracy?
Again its all opinion and one you really cannot back with solid proof is all I was pointing out. Now if you want to say WW film is way hype through identity politic heavy media outlets, and more critics reviewed the film or something, sure you can make that argument and back that with proof.
But back to the initial point, your saying Cinema > Netflix which is pure nonsense and not back by numbers of any kind which is all I was saying. I mean you made a argument of how many movie tickets you estimated were purchase, but never accounted for the vastly different ticket prices or the many people who watch the film 2, 3, dozen times. You claim Netflix has only so many subscribers, but how many of those subscribers share a account with 2, 3, dozen people in the household? I share my Netflix with my wife, and kids. You cannot get solid numbers is the point.
