Deadpool posted:If anyone is interested in catching up with the character the runs you want to read are Miller, Bendis, Brubaker, and Waid. There are other fine installments but those are the ones you want. Miller is the foundation. Bendis and Brubaker are the runs the basically tear the character apart and put him through near endless poo poo and Waid's run is the light at the end of the tunnel that puts him back together. The Death of Captain Jean DeWolf is also good, and as it's a Spider-Man/Daredevil story that defines both those characters.

Petr posted:1x05 It's both. Fisk has the power of the Kingpin, but he hasn't used it or molded himself fully into what he's going to be become 1x13 Glad Fisk wasn't killed off or written off. Hope Kingpin comes back to season 2 or 3. Electra and Bullseye kinda rely on his character. Speaking of which, I hope we get PunisherMax Bullseye

I still think that Cage and Iron Fist should be folded into one show called Heroes for Hire, but maybe that's because that rocks and I want season 2 of Daredevil like now.

dj_clawson posted:In the end the truth that got him killed was some unverifiable gossip about Fisk's father's death that he couldn't print because of lack of corroboration (and other tiny details about ethics in journalism) and so he just went to randomly post poo poo on the internet to get people upset. Ulrich's life/career didn't exactly end on a high note. Yeah, I mean he was posting conspiracy theories on the internet and had been told by Silvermane a couple of months ago that the one reason he helped Ben was because he kept his family out of it. He was a dead man. So are we getting Owl next season plus Fisk's return to the top? I hope we get Bullseye and Electra soon too.

The Sharmat posted:Holy poo poo that was Silvermane? I didn't catch that. Yeah, had the same name. I think a "return to the top" is the proper way to say it if only because of the nature of the character arc. I know we're getting Hand poo poo because of how heavily they hinted it but the way they ended the season seems primed to not only say Fisk's story isn't over but that it's just beginning too. Great time to introduce Bullseye or Electra if we're getting a gang war next season. Also season 2 confirmed for next year

Wolpertinger posted:Waid's run was what got me into reading Daredevil in the first place though, so it is important - without it, a summary of Daredevil reads like just a bit ridiculously excessive endless spiral of death and depression and everything and everyone that Matt cares about dying or worse. You're right that some of the Waid stories would be pretty inappropriate for the TV Daredevil, but if this sticks around for a few seasons, I don't think that letting some of the lighter elements/stories drip in a bit occasionally so the excessive grittiness doesn't get tiring would be good. I'm not saying it isn't good (I have nearly every issue he did) or even necessary, just that it isn't an iconic run or whatever and isn't appropriate for this type of series as an entire season of material even in it's grounded stories. But yeah as something that comes in during subplots or B stories, it would be cool to lighten things up and not become self serious to the point of parody bobkatt013 posted:There is the whole poo poo with Bullseye .Okay yeah, that was legit amazing stuff. I really wish I hadn't misplaced those issues.

It's kinda funny I hope SOME variant of that happens but she isn't iced at the end. It leads to a lot better story material, because holy poo poo a lot of comic runs tease that poo poo but never ever do it and that is going to change a relationship permanently.

Modus Operandi posted:You'll have a hard time convincing anyone that asian, indian, or middle eastern males matter one bit in american society. That's just the current social climate in the U.S. at the moment. Real talk: It's all about the money. The audience demographic wants to see white guy karate so there will be white guy karate with probably an asian female love interest and oriental sifu who gets killed at some point. Empire did really well, I really kinda doubt this. I mean Hollywood and European racism is a Thing but I think Netflix or tv series are now exempt from this mostly.

Wolpertinger posted:Honestly, as long as they just cast a good fit for the role it doesn't matter. The only really important bits in his origin are that a. he's an outsider and foreigner, and at least somewhat unwelcome in K'un Lun, and b. he's from a rich, probably American family. You could do that with an asian-american, sure, but it's pretty silly to do that to avoid calls of racism and for no other reason. I'd care more about getting a really good lead than making sure he's the right race. Hell, he could be Latino for all I care, it would certainly be funny to see the reactions to it. It's be hilarious to have the dude be Japanese or Vietnamese or some other Asian culture with vast nationalist and racial tensions to fill out that foreigner bit.

Dapper Dan posted:Why is everyone so confused as to the motives of the Punisher's family's deaths? Watch the last episode again. The Blacksmith invited Frank to be part of his awesomely profitable heroin trading scheme. Frank refused. The Blacksmith knew Frank was a loose end because he'd been exposed and Frank is a very real law and order type. The Blacksmith gets wind Frank is taking his family to the park, sets up a fake drug deal between three very twitchy gangs, tips off the DA to the deal and then doesn't show. The Blacksmith knows the gangs are super loving twitchy and the DA is heavy handed. Frank is there in the park and then a fire-fight occurs. It was specifically done to kill Frank. His family was inconsequential. Pretty much. It's the last part that bothers me, because it would have been so easy to do. mikeraskol posted:This doesn't make any sense. If he knew the Blacksmith's identity, as soon as he got out of prison he would have booked it upstate and shot Clancy Brown in the face. He only figured it out by following Karen. Castle has brain damage and memory issues

notthegoatseguy posted:From the way the attorney talked, It didn't even sound like Fisk had a trial yet, let alone convicted. But the show is really bad in the legal aspect of things so its best not to think too hard about it. They said it was going to be a "few months, maybe even a couple of years" when discussing his release. It's sounds like season 3 or 4 Fisk is back, more likely 3 with them doing an adaption of The Man Without Fear story line. Probably replacing Nuke with Bullseye.

DrNutt posted:I loved The Punisher when I was a retarded lolbertarian but he has a lot less appeal now that I've grown up and matured. Re reading the MAX stuff is mostly unpleasant and I can't imagine "Frank Castle gruesomely murders disgusting rapists, murderers, and pedophiles" being a compelling season of TV without something more complex added to the mix. That's why I loved the Tom Jane Punisher. It was a little cheesy but giving the character a little humanity wasn't a bad idea. You're kind of missing the point of the Ennis run on MAX, especially when he fights the human traffickers, it's only the light hearted wall street guys run that is supposed to generate this reaction. That arc literally ends with the activists laying into Frank and calling him a serial killer/monster no different than the rapists he's fighting and accomplishing nothing but satisfying himself, and him admitting it

tweet my meat posted:Seeing Danny get told off for being a spoiled white guy is really fun. I think he works pretty well in the group and it's nice seeing him actually take some of the criticism to heart. Danny grew up being tortured and beaten into the Iron Fist. The criticism was insanely too meta and didn't bear out his story line/character, which is immature traumatized manchild, who's conflicted by the Western and Eastern values he's been taught and refuses to make a decision between them. lmao he really should have been cast White or Asian NutritiousSnack fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Aug 18, 2017 |
