It's not like he needs a huge introduction, his origin can be gone over in about 10 minutes a la Incredible Hulk They can skip it completely and do it in the opening credit crawl. Bust out some minimalist flat red and black art to set up a radar sense feel.

I need one shot of him wearing an "I'm Not Daredevil" shirt. Bonus points for an Asst DA trying to prove he isn't blind.

Goddard did some of the better episodes of "Angel," so if he wound up involved with the Daredevil show I expect it would be fun.

Thing about Spiderman and Daredevil sharing Villains, they're both street level heroes, so It makes sense their villains would cross over. I mean, how much crime can there be in Hell's Kitchen?

In more show runner news Melissa Rosenberg is circling the Jessica Jones series. She uh wrote the Twilight films and did a bunch of Dexter. She was also going to be the showrunner for aka Jessica Jones when it was being batted around a few years ago.

The problem with Whedon alums is their track rate. His brother Jed's on "Agents of SHIELD," Jane Espenson's got some web show, Marti Noxon is hopefully not coming anywhere near this, and David Greenwalt and Tim Minear have modest reputations as Show Killers.

Minear is doing alright with American Horror Story for the last few years. With Goddard I don't really care that he's a Whedon alum but I just really hated Cabin in the Woods.

How much TV do you guys watch? I haven't had TV on my TV for around eight years or so. I have netflix and my bluray player, so I don't actually watch many TV shows. I ask because so many of the complaints I've seen directed towards SHIELD sound like some of the complaints I've made about comics when someone new to the hobby has asked "Why is this comic so hated." I enjoy SHIELD so much. It's a weekly dose of live action Marvel. I think Ward is a little stiff, but I love Coulson, May, Fitz & Simmons and even don't find Skye annoying. Is this just a by product of me only watching three or four tv shows?

I mean, as someone who watches a lot of TV shows, SHIELD ranks pretty low. The acting isn't great, the plotting feels almost irrelevant, the quippy dialogue grates sometimes. I don't think it's a bad show by any means, but it feels very early 2000s in tone and style, before networks realized that they didn't have to settle for cheap-looking monster of the week shows. I haven't seen last night's episode yet, but I'm wondering what people see in May. I like Ming-Na, and I keep waiting for her to do something, but she just stands around looking sullen and talking about how her past is dark and mysterious.

I actually appreciate that they have to have two scientists specializing in two different, though still unreasonably vast, fields instead of the usual single nerdy omni-scientist. [edit] Half a thought later it might be about keeping the future marvel TV/movie super scientists who are omni-disciplined in a league of their own.

It's the same idea as having one be a preppy New Englander, and one from a small town in the South. They shouldn't get along, but they DO! Isn't that wacky?!

I can't imagine they're that lax that they'd greenlight a project without at least seeing one script.

Espenson was also a producer on BSG, and currently is one for Once Upon A Time. She also wrote one of the best episodes of Game Of Thrones' first season. It's not like she's been a total failure since Buffy ended. Minear's working on American Horror Story, which doesn't seem to be bombing either. Claiming they're all poison is being VERY selective in how you look at their career path after Whedon.

Also I've found Agents of SHIELD to be perfectly reasonable entertainment thus far and, in particular, I've thought the last three episodes have been showing an uptick in quality as the writers get used to the characters and start revealing more about them. Simmons and Fitz in particular got more spotlight time in the last two episodes, which was quite nice.

With the DareDevil show I really hope they don't do Born Again as the first series, and instead adapt something like Bendis's run with him being outed. That to me would be more interesting. I'm pretty stoked thought the only "bad" Netflix show so far is probably Hemlock Grove.

I hope that they used AoS as the jumping off point for the Netflix shows, even if its "Wow Luke Cage and Iron Fist, that was really handy how to beat up those Maggia thugs, I can't want to see what adventures you'll be having in the future!" type thing.
