Steve Yun posted:Sure sure, but there was stuff in Year One that I don't remember in Miller's Daredevil run that was in this show, like him being surrounded by the cops in the derelict building Difference being Batman's had to take the whole squad out and (I think) keep them all alive. Daredevil just snuck away after fighting two of them.

PunkBoy posted:I'm curious if Daredevil and the Agents of SHIELD team were aware that they would both have fights with a guy wielding a knife-chain. I wouldn't exactly call it a common kind of fight scene, but I'm guessing it was just a really funny coincidence. It's always seemed to me knives-on-chains are of the most common of movie ninja-fight weapons.

Darth Ballz posted:Noooooo! We don't need another show to utilize the "hot female friend who is an internet blogger" trope. I think every super hero show ever has had one (except Agent Carter, naturally). Surely, the writers can be tasked to give her more to do than just be that or a damsel in distress. Why would she need to be a blogger? She's done nothing up until now that has been blogger-worthy, instead doing hard research and investigating. Why would you assume that would change? She'd been very proactive in finding things out, instead of having those facts arrive on her doorstep.

tsob posted:Maybe he's just wearing a helmet because it's still the law and if he didn't wear one he'd inevitably be pulled over by some cop who doesn't know him for not wearing one. Better to just put it on and ride in peace frankly. Also, I was watching Brooklyn 99 last night and I'm kind of sad that Terry Crews didn't get cast as Luke. I've never seen Mike Colter in anything to pass judgement on the guy, but he just doesn't have quite the same physical presence as Terry and that seems to be handy in a guy with superhuman strength and durability. Dude, Mike's a big loving dude. I'm sure he's been suckin' down creatine like a hooker on holiday pay so he's even bigger than normal. He's also pretty darn present in shows like Good Wife, his character's almost a Wilson Fiskish type dude. I'm really looking forward to seeing Netflix's take on superpowers and poo poo. I think they cast a good dude to be Cage. I wonder if they tried to save some money during Daredevil's stuff to help with the obviously more expensive CGI required for super-stuff. What were some of the more notable Luke Cage villains and plots?

dj_clawson posted:I was a fan of whenever the comic touched on this - which was rarely, and only if the writer was interested in blind culture - and it was one of the few things that stood out about the movie. Like how does Matt pick his suits? (they're labeled by color) How does Matt use money? (They're folded differently) They had a blind guy on set as an advisor, talking about how stuff in the movie was written after stories he told to the crew. He talks in the making of doc, which is funny unto itself because you see what a disaster it becomes as it goes along in development because the director was so incredibly bad at his job and they hoped they could fix it all in post, and they couldn't. All of that stuff Matt Murdock would be doing only to keep up appearances. In public. Nothing he did at home would need to be that way.

Snak posted:Yeah, the acting in this show is pretty great, and the dialogue is great, and the thematic elements of the stories are great, but the weakest part is definitely that Matt's plan is literally just beat the poo poo out of people until the crime is gone. I was hoping there would be some decent legal drama element to the show, and there really wasn't. A vigilante wouldn't need to be a vigilante if there were better ways to put the bad guy away. The whole point of the show was that Kingpin was/is untouchable legally, and Matt as Daredevil was slowly poking through his defenses one hosed up, overheard rumor at a time.

Kheldarn posted:Also, on a personal level, I would have preferred it if Netflix did one episode a week. I like having everyone seeing an episode at the same time, and being able to talk about it, and speculate. But, that's not the Netflix way. I'll just have to adapt. Just think of it like we all watched an extra long movie, not a TV show.

Snak posted:Some good courtroom justice in the show would help counteract it. Part of the concept of Daredevil is, that as Lawyer he literally tries to use legal means, and if he can't he uses violence. We see him save Karen, but not really through being a great lawyer. Mostly it seemed like the law was ultimately useless and violence was always the answer.  ) we can see Matt have more workable legal efforts.I mean, the end of S1 was basically the city purging itself of all the bought off people and government employees and politicians..

PaybackJack posted:The worst part of this show for me is that they had to actually go and call him Daredevil at the end. "Devil of Hell's Kitchen" is a much cooler name and just casually referring to him as 'Devil would have been enough like they do with Arrow not actually being called Green Arrow. I loved how despite being in the same shared universe and happening after Avengers, nothing other than Daredevil was super powered. Nobody had goofy code names, they never even called Fisk the Kingpin that I recall. When he fought and got his rear end kicked by the ninja it was all completely in line with everything else because he wasn't some Hand super ninja, he was just another well trained fighter. Probably a better fighter other than his inability to realize he was covered in flammable liquid. Except Daredevil is his name. They're allowed to use it, so why wouldn't they? That's saying, "Man, I'm so glad nobody's calling Batman Batman, or noone's saying Ironman." Like, That's the character's name.

His cotton shirts and pants are grey, his nylon/cotton blend shirts and pants are black, his silk ones are navy, et cetera. Hahaha. I'm sure he could just as easily have a small tag or thread attached to each article of clothing with one or more stitches/knots representing a color. That's what I'd do if I were blind and had lots of clothes.  (If I were blind I'd totally just wear Hawaiian tourist style clothes) It's not quite the speed force but it's certainly Daredevil.

Maybe we are supposed to belief he can tell what people ate for lunch three days ago. That's fine. I just think there was enough ambiguity in that specific example that it's not clear cut. No dude, he wasn't lying or exaggerating. He was literally saying he could smell his food. You people come up with the weirdest things.
