I was hoping he'd end up strolling into the city because he sensed Sarah's revival, and after the mandatory hero vs hero fight he'd help restore her soul. Instead we got Deus Ex Constantina. But I got another episode of Hellblazer so I'm happy. Constantine should have been Oliver's dealer in high school.

I don't remember that? But honestly I don't remember much about the series except a vague "That was fun, hope they don't go darker though." feeling.

It was the guy who stabbed the nice old lady. It's just this weird vibe the show has, where everyone keeps making allegories about standing up for the downtrodden against the powerful, but DD himself spends most of the show maiming low level enforcers who look like they only shower every other weekend and have worn the same coat for a decade. I'm not against some roughing up of punks but it's just this weird thing where the show can't decide if it's the worst parts of Batman or about the little guy fighting back.

DD is a story about a class conflict, but the writers seem to have realised that actually going through with it would have been too radical. See also Arrow.

Yeah, pretty much. It probably wouldn't stand out as much if they didn't keep drawing attention to it with the big speeches. I also liked how the entire series built up to the reveal of the real Daredevil suit and when we finally see it it's this goofy-looking tactical realism typical MCU costume that looks completely out of place in the show.

DD is a show about the thin line between heroism and villainy. It does a better job of exploring why superheroes have to hold themselves to a different moral code than I've seen another show or movie do.

That's what I took away too. Matt's and Fisk's methods aren't drastically different. One guy just has other people do the dirty work for him (mostly) and also will kill a bitch/chop their head off with a car door. The other won't. I think the class argument can certainly be addressed but I think it'd help if we actually saw them take a court case that isn't connected to Fisk. They mentioned cases and legal work in the show they were doing, such as for Josie's and that plumber, but we didn't actually see them work on those cases. I also don't think the Japanese gang they had was inherently racist. Urich and Matt even mistook them for Yakuza, which is an actual Japanese gang/mafia. The Hand, or whatever the gently caress Nobo is eventually revealed to be a part of, is just the Marvel equivalent of Yakuza...except with super powers/magic.

What's everyone's main complaint about the suit? I don't think it's that bad, maybe needs more red to it. What would be good alternatives? Asking because I just don't see better solution that doesn't look goofy.

I guess all the tacticalish stuff on it and maybe the mask doesn't look good.

I think it is because they made the eye part a little too small.

Ultimately, it feels out of place. Which it is, because every other costume on the show was designed by Stephanie Maslansky, but the final suit design came from corporate. Here, you can read about it yourself at: http://fashionista.com/2015/04/daredevil-costume-design

The corporate red DD suit would look way better with just the black head wrap imo.

Having a good look at it, yeah the mask does have problems. I feel like it should cover more of his face, at least the nose or something. It's really weird to have the little tip of nose not covered by the mask. I think fix the horns a bit too and it would look better. Or you could do a headwrap variant with horns, I don't know. I still like it mostly, but I definitely hope they alter a few things for the second season.

It also kinda looks like it'd be hard to move around in it, which is kinda against the entire point of it getting made. Even the stunts look kinda stiffer once he has it on, but that could just be the suit looking weird in the lighting. It reminds me of all the stupid-rear end costumes they keep giving Captain America, only those movies are shot to hide how restrictive that suit is.

Whatever happened to the Time Warner on demand app they tried to launch years ago? I remember the big draw at the time was that they landed every James Bond film after Netflix lost them. But yeah, not putting them on the two biggest streaming platforms is stupid if they aren't putting them else where? Maybe a deal with CBS and their app? CBS is moving into exclusive streaming content with the next Star Trek series so they clearly want All Access to be more than an internet on demand back up to their broadcast network. Might as well roll CW content and DC content into it.

CBS is moving into exclusive streaming content with the next Star Trek series so they clearly want All Access to be more than an internet on demand back up to their broadcast network. Might as well roll CW content and DC content into it. CW runs current episodes on their website where they show up day of air, sometimes earlier than their showtime. From the story it sounds like they're trying to drive up traffic on their own streaming services, so most likely the shows would stay with the platform tied to their broadcast channel (as opposed to them all migrating to CBS's service or something like that). I don't think it's gonna work as well as they want it to though. NBC recently pulled that move with The Blacklist, pulling it from Hulu and streaming it exclusively on their app. As much as I like the show I haven't really wanted to bother with yet another site/app just to watch one show, so now I'm just gonna wait for it on Netflix and they lost a viewer. Granted that's anecdotal, and just one schmuck's opinion, but I doubt I'm the only one who's just gonna say "gently caress it, I'll wait".

Best one was First Avenger, then comes Winter Soldier, then AoU. The Civil War one is supposedly getting a scaled look to it too, like the comics.

They really just need to stop giving him a loving mask. Give him a normal military helmet, painted the same blue as his uniform. The moment you start covering the rest of his face you've wasted half the reason for casting Chris Evans in the role in the first place.

Madkal posted:The Mark Waid and Geoff Johns runs. To expand on that, the more recent Geoff Johns run gives the series a lot of its plotlines. Barry travelling back in time to keep his mother from dying, for instance, was a plotline by Johns. That said, the tone of the current series really is better represented by Mark Waid's Flash books, despite those books being about Wally West instead of Barry Allen. (Barry was dead at the time.) The thing is, though, the wisecracking and often insecure Flash that we're seeing on the air really is much more the way Wally was portrayed, especially by Waid, than Barry ever was. Traditionally, Barry is much more the stoic square-jawed hero type. Personally, I've always found Waid's Flash run to be the definitive Flash, but tastes vary.

Benny the Snake posted:Which Flash graphic novels are required reading? I'd appreciate recommendations for a fan of The Flash CW show. Mark Waid wrote Flash for most of the '90s, but I'd argue that Johns' first Flash run from the early 2000s is the biggest influence on the show, especially for its treatment of the Rogues. Both Waid and Johns wrote Wally West as Flash during these years, but Waid didn't do much with the Rogues at all in his run. Interestingly, both Waid and Johns wrote Linda Park as Wally's girlfriend, and they later got married. Johns' Wally Flash run has been collected in three thick hardcover Omnibus editions, and they're starting to reissue it in comparable trade paperbacks, since the original eight trade paperbacks fell out of print several years ago. Waid isn't on the best terms with DC, so most trade paperbacks of his run have fallen out of print. Johns' more recent Barry Allen Flash run started with Flash: Rebirth, which is easy to find and available in hardcover and trade paperback. It deals a lot with the Reverse-Flash, so that was another influence on the show. That led into another year or so of Barry Flash comics by Johns, with a fantastic artist named Francis Manapul. After DC rebooted its continuity in late 2011 (an era branded as the "New 52," in which superheroes were generally made younger, with slightly different costume designs and simplified back-stories to bring in new readers), Flash relaunched from a new #1 issue, with Manapul drawing and co-writing as well. These also brought Patty Spivot to the forefront.
