Article is new enough, long enough and within policy. The hook however isn't all that interesting. Perhaps if it explained why expanding to Netflix is unique.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 12:24, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

ALT 1: ... that after debuting television series on ABC, the Marvel Cinematic Universe will expand to Netflix in 2015, after realizing the streaming service could grow the popularity of the characters of the series?
ALT 2: ... that the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series will see the live action debut of the Defenders on Netflix?

How about these TriiipleThreat? Any other suggestions if you feel these aren't interesting enough? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:01, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

I like ALT1 better but at 205 characters, its too long. Try trimming it back a bit.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 17:06, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

ALT 1 (second attempt): ... that the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series will expand to Netflix in 2015, after realizing the streaming service could grow the popularity of the characters of the series?

This is 180 characters. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:16, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Support with ALT 1. Good job.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:40, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! To the closing user, I have put strikes through previous versions, to ensure the correct one gets added. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:22, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

The ALT1 hook language is a verbatim quote from the source. Either it should be put in quotes here and in the article, or rewritten to avoid close paraphrasing. It seems to me that someone should review all the sources in the article to verify that there is no close paraphrasing elsewhere. Yoninah (talk) 22:41, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

The quotes were added in the article, but not here, as the direct wording is not used here. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:26, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

ALT1 is no good as a television series is incapable of "realizing" anything (also "grow the popularity" is horrible marketing-speak). Belle (talk) 01:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Reattempt: ... that the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series will expand to Netflix in 2015, after Disney realized the streaming service could "grow the popularity of the characters" of the series?

Reattempting this to hopefully address Belle's comments. And if that still isn't good, let's try these (or these may even be outright better). Pinging TriiipleThreat and Yoninah to maybe get their opinons as well:

ALT 3: ... that the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series has seen multiple actors reprise their roles from the MCU films?

ALT 4: ... that Amazon and WGN America expressed interest in airing the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series on the "Defenders", before Netflix acquired them? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:18, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Alt 4 can be verified but is possibly the dullest fact from the entire article. Alt 3 is not in the article—nowhere is there a sentence that says multiple actors reprised their roles, but I'd have thought that would be easy enough to add in and source. Or better still, you could add "including actor X and actor Y", selecting two or three of the most notable actors. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:03, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Rework: ... that the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series have seen multiple actors, such as Clark Gregg and Hayley Atwell, reprise their roles from the MCU films? How's that @HJ Mitchell:? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:33, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Much better, but it needs to say that in the article—DYK rules require that the hook fact be derived from a sentence in the article and that that sentence has an inline citation, not just that it can be inferred from the article as a whole. It's silly, I know, but DYK loves rules. Also, shouldn't series be a plural (as in series have, rather than has) since we're talking about more than one series? (@ Favre1fan93) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:56, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Both are sourced, not inferred, here. Grammar fixed. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:05, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Is this okay @HJ Mitchell:? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:58, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Good to go for the latest hook—that the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series have seen multiple actors, such as Clark Gregg and Hayley Atwell, reprise their roles from the MCU films?. Apologies for the delay. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:39, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
