Valeyard posted:I liked her up until she shot Wesley, it has taken the wind out of the sails. And Foggy seems to be getting on fine without her anyway 1 x 11 Hilariously or not so Hilariously, which goes back to my " Wilson Fisk is Corruption made manifest" . Wesley dies BECAUSE of Wilson, that's Wilson calling him I'm pretty sure. Answering the phone to Wilson calling is so second nature that Wesley doesn't hestitate and that is why Karen is able to shoot him. Wilson causes the death of Wesley.

1 x 11 That's what I loved about the episode. I mean don't get me wrong, I loved Wesley's Character, but I also really like Karen, so that just sucked.

e1 x 13 Karen Discussion Karen straight up tells his wife she cause Bens death which was a interesting scene, she is also pivotal to bringing down Wilson, and what's hilarious is it's not some made up skill. She worked in a Accountants office as his secretary, so the way she figures it out is actually in line with her background. It's also heavily implied that she had a messed up past and got through it. To me Karen is the most interesting, because he is the pivot on what everyone else revolves around. She's actively going out and trying to bring down Wilson Fisk. She doesn't have ninja training either. Karen actually almost plays the role of Wilson in the show, everyone else moves around and because of her in a way.

Yeah I do like that they don't beat you over the head with it , but it is pretty straight on that Matt is Catholic, although he may not be a " practicing" Catholic it's obviously part of who he is which I thought was a really cool part of the character.

I think that's what actually makes me like the character more, for whatever reason. I find Matt's Catholicism believable, and a driving force for his character. Like take Captain America's origin. We're given no real reason why Steve Rogers is a good person. Like was he born good, who did he idealize. The story starts as a scrappy guy who never gives up. So was he born with a indomitable spirit? It's just basically through years of being beaten on Steve Rogers is a good person. Matt clearly has a influence on who he idealized, who raised him, etc.. It's more believable that Matt would be a hero than some others.

1 x 13 Costume is actually pretty interesting when you look at where the black is and it specifically designed to take a bullet. I like the costume. It's probably one of the better looking ones and it's based on a previous Daredevil costume as well

XboxPants posted:general costume You know, I did start noticing eventually that he was wearing something more like underarmor, but I thought I was just picking up on a detail I missed before. But I bet you're right; his old poo poo was constantly getting sliced up, so he would have thrown away his first shirts. That'll be something to look for on the rewatch. General Costume I'm pretty sure his costume change goes , regular black shirt - Black Shirt with Red stripes along the arms then Daredevil costume.

I actually really loved the Flashbacks to Foggy and Matt in college and the episode where it's just Matt and Foggy after Foggy finds out. I thought that was more believable. I mean no ones going to be " Okay great you have been lying to me all of our friendship ". Also, I wanna rewatch the first dinner date again with Fisk and Vanessa, but I'm pretty sure she orders Zuppo? Not sure the same desert his mother gave him.

Well actually if they keep with the normal Iron Fist Danny Rand thing, Danny Rand owns a lot of property in New York city and I'm pretty sure real estate is his main income. I was and still am upset about the Ben Urich stuff but can see why they did what they did to show that their doing their own thing . Leland Owsley has a son named Lee ( pretty sure he said his son's name was lee) and he could be the Owl when he comes back to New York.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the next month and before AKA Jessica Jones they announce a season 2 . Every body is going nuts over the show and claiming it the best thing since sliced bread so it'd be crazy if they didn't. They still haven't actually said "we're making Daredevil season 2"

Yeah I think it explored the aspect of heroism beyond what other films have and actually brought a strong moral center to the show. Cause you can definitively say why Daredevil doesn't just go and kill Fisk. They actually stated it was the intent that mattered. Also, Ninja dude could have saved himself possibly. It's shown that Daredevil jumps out the window into the water to get away, Ninja dude literally get's his legs set on fire then goes after Daredevil again instead of jumping out the loving window into the water.

Yeah actually there's a actual Marvel Knights mini-series that is just that. Daredevil and uh some other guys hunting down The Punisher. The Punisher would be a excellent antagonist and would be really interesting to see some different interaction between Fisk and Daredevil. The Punisher going after The Kingpin and Daredevil trying to stop Fisk from being killed would be pretty drat good.

I think the conversation with Potter when he gave him the suit was kind of funny " Make me a suit out of this material , I don't like getting cut with blades" , " I made this suit uh some of it's bullet proof and it might stop a blade". Like what was the point of that.

zoux posted:I get why some people might not have liked the way they portrayed Kingpin, but it's about the most interesting take on a comic book bad guy that I've seen. There's also a counterpoint to that with Matt , where it is suggested to him by stick to try Meditation and where Matt tries to meditate and fails. Like Matt even mentions he meditates to heal quicker. Fisk practices meditation but not for the reason Matt is doing it, his meditation drives him. Matt's meditation relaxes him. Like Matt and Fisk basically have the same father. Here's just some points Matts father - Gives Matt a drink of Whiskey Wilsons Father - Gives him a drink of beer Matts Father - Goal is to be a prize winning fighter and that's his ticket out. Wilsons Father - Goal is to be a politician and that's his ticket out Matt's Father - " Always get back up" Wilsons Father - " Don't Stop Kicking them when their down" Matt's Father - " Focus on my voice" Wilsons Father - " Stair at this wall and imagine who you want to be" Matt - Goes to a Orphanage to be raised by others Wilson - Goes to a Farm to be raised by others Matt- Mother is Absent Wilson - Mother is there but absent in spirit? Sure there is more. Oh here's one Matt and Fisk probably went to the same school. They're both in Hell's Kitchen so Matt and Fisk probably went to the same school.

He can't see colours but they did non chalantly throw in his sense of touch is so good he can feel and read print. I did like him using the assisted Keyboard and system. I thought that was cool. Overall as a Disability Advocate and someone who worked with the blind for a while, he actually got some of the nuance to the character down and wasn't like crazy head waving around talking acting. Just something that annoys me and he didn't do. Like every time you see a actor who plays a blind person they tilt their head and a large majority of people who were previously blind don't do this at all. People who are born blind generally have some other congenital diseases and disabilities so they'll have a different gait or they'll tilt their head back some what.

It would be really terrible if they didn't because previous to Fraction Iron Fist was not that interesting of a character , and Fraction really turned the whole character around and added a shitload of Mythology. I really hope we get Alias Luke Cage and not Brian Azzerello Luke Cage. Also, Jeph Loeb is apparently a writer or at least had input on this, but how the gently caress that happened I dunno.

Yeah I just liked that they weren't to heavy handied, the one thing I would have liked is a scene with a younger Fisk and a younger Wesley becoming friends similar to Matt and Foggy. Oh here are some other stuff: Fisk lies to Wesley about speaking Japanese Matt lies to Foggy about being able to "see" I'll write it all down when I do a rewatch of it.

I kind of wonder if Fisk and Matt are both Catholic. Like it'd make sense but I don't recall seeing any religious imagery in Fisks house are remember any other sounds. Also, I'm pretty sure those Gangsters that talked to Matts dad are also the same Gangsters that Fisk's dad owed money to.

That's what I took away from it.quote:But if the killings of black men, teenagers and boys that have gripped this country in recent years have taught us anything, it should be that such fantasies of certainty are dangerous delusions. And even if someone is guilty, delivering penalties outside of a courtroom has an ugly way of escalating the punishment for crimes. Walter Scott is dead because he had a broken taillight on his car. Michael Brown is dead because he was suspected of robbing a convenience store. The crimes in “Daredevil,” including trafficking and attempted murder, are more consequential, but the show is still awfully blithe about how violently Matt deals with them.

A martial arts / mystic kung fu style television series sounds like something Marvel will take a chance on it makes sense as well. They seem to be taking some big chances right now with Ant-Man, The Netflix television series and Doctor Strange so I think it'll be full on mystical. I mean they have Stone in the Daredevil series. Also they already introduced the concept of "Realms" with Thor so there being 7 Magical Cities isn't insane it's already been introduced that there are multiple realms.

Yeah, he has a glowing fist that he punches things with that he's summoned with his Chi, it's probably why their doing his series last so that the other series can slowly introduce concepts from that and get really far out there.

Actually Matt only saves Karen once, I'm pretty sure. Foggy helps out the other time, then she saves herself. She's not shown as some weakling which I actually liked and liked that it was her that ultimately brought about Fisks end. Actually I think the show's 3/3 for strong women characters in the film. I really hope they can swing getting Black Widow to show up as they had a thing for a while. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Apr 14, 2015 |
