Teek posted:Hell yeah, really hoping for the best. I wonder how many shows Marvel could manage at once. Money needn't necessarily be a factor (I guess the shows are funded by Netflix and not Marvel/Disney? even so, if they're amazing successes, they can expand)... talent would be, especially for showrunners and stuff. I almost feel like the sheer logistics could be the biggest limiting factor. That and demand/audience size, I guess. I just wanna see them run a loving dozen shows simultaneously at any given time, is that too much to ask?

Tensokuu posted:Are Starjammers tied up with the X-Men license? Anyone know? I mean, the captain is Cyclops' dad, so probably? I kinda always figured they were, never heard anyone else suggest otherwise when it came up. They're pretty tied up with X-Men characters and lore, I'm pretty sure Fox owns a sizable chunk of the Marvel cosmos, like the Shi'ar empire.

Blackchamber posted:Is it though? I don't think thats exactly the case. Look at how Quicksilver was in Fox's DofP and was/is appearing in marvel's A2. I read somewhere that it was possible simply by referring to either his real name or his codename and not calling him a 'mutant' which Fox had rights to. And we know Pietro's family tree. It doesn't have anything to do with technicalities like that. If that was the case they would have made Spider-Man an Avenger already under the same premise. It's because Quicksilver is largely an Avengers character, associated with that franchise as much as, if not moreso than, the X-Men franchise. When Fox made the purchase, they didn't just get a vague "everything x-men" license, they also got a very long list of specific things that do or don't fall under that umbrella. The very detailed contract that Fox and Marvel worked out apparently allowed for both of them to use a few characters like Quicksilver. Similar things for the Fantastic Four franchise - Fox owns the specific character of the Super Skrull exclusively, but MCU is technically allowed to use the broad Skrull race if they want to so long as they don't use the characters that Fox owns. But that's probably not the case with the Starjammers, since they're pretty much only an X-Men thing. Like, Professor X has been on the team at one point.

Netflix Rules Update!

Deadpool posted:As much as I love both Arrow and Flash and think they're great it is glaringly obvious going from them or even SHIELD to something like this that there's a pretty big disparity in not only talent but production. If the show keeps up the quality I've seen so far I don't think I'm gonna wanna go back to Arrow at all. Production value, acting, loving crazy fight choreography, music, it's kinda all there. 1x01 general stuff That first episode felt almost like a mini-movie, I didn't expect them to introduce and finish a whole plot like that. I also very much appreciate that while it's kind of an origin, it's not painfully so. They hit the ground running pretty well.

1x13 Anyone else feel like the final Kingpin v Daredevil fight kinda fell flat, relatively speaking? It was still choreographed super well and everything, it's just... They didn't do enough throughout the series to convince me that Fisk would pose any kind of threat to super-powered, ninja-trained Matt Murdock, so the whole time it felt like there were zero stakes. The Nobu fight felt way more dangerous. I guess it still could have worked if it was just Matt pummeling the poo poo out of Fisk the whole time, but they didn't do that, and instead acted like he was an even match. Making Fisk a difficult opponent made sense in 1x09 when Matt was super-hosed up & kind of dying after fighting the Hand ninja, but here he was mostly healed from that. I guess it also didn't help that I wasn't really mad at Fisk about the Urich thing. That whole death was so heavily telegraphed to me that I felt more upset at the writers for getting rid of such a rich character with so much potential for future stories than I felt mad at Fisk. If I was hated Fisk more I'm sure it woulda been thrilling to see him get beaten. Don't get me wrong, though. The series was shockingly good. Cox, Woll, Henson, Dawson, Gunton, Moore, Curtis-Hall, Morgan, and more all put in fantastic performances. Vanessa Fisk's actress, in just a few lines, was maybe the break-out character of the show for me. I'm also extremely pleased they went so full-rear end comic book with ninjas and mystic old ladies and references to other poo poo all over the place. Speaking of references, here's one very tenuous MCU connection I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else: (not sure what episode it was, let's just say 1x12 to be safe) At the party where people get poisoned drinks, Owlsley mentions a "Van Lunt" who operates under the guidance of a personal astrologer. That'd be Cornelius Van Lunt AKA Taurus, one of the Zodiac cartel. And, Peggy Carter encountered the Zodiac group in her one-shot.

Hollismason posted:Yeah The Punisher would be difficult to bring to screen because eventually the character is just a serial killer who targets criminals. He's basically Dexter, but with Guns. He's not super sympathetic and has no moral issues with just murdering people. I think he could work as either a villain or a morally gray ally, either for Daredevil or on any of the other series, like 1x06 Vladamir. And then you'd have to explicitly raise the issue of "is this guy any different from someone like Fisk?" I'd say he is. 1x13 Fisk's whole "savior" persona was a bullshit pretense all along, as he accepts in the "I'm not the Samaritan" speech. If improving the city and helping others was really his aim, he wouldn't be taking so much for himself, living in such luxury. He doesn't improve Hell's Kitchen for others, he does it for personal wealth and power. As Fisk himself said, he didn't kill his dad for his mother, he did it for himself. They draw the perfect comparison with Murdock's job at the cushy firm. If Murdock would have taken that job, under the pretense that at some point in the future he's going to try to do good, but meanwhile being driven to work in a Benz, then he would have been the same as Fisk. But he didn't. This show is all about Catholic martyrdom. You can't be a hero just by helping others only when it also helps yourself; to be a real hero, you have to be willing to help others even when you have to make a personal sacrifice to do it. And Punisher, as far away from Matt Murdock as he is, might just fit that criteria. At least, he fits it more than Fisk does.

Wolpertinger posted:That's the thing with Punisher, though, he doesn't make personal sacrifices to help others, he makes personal sacrifices to hurt others - punisher sometimes ends up rescuing people by killing the people harming them, but that's not his priority or his goal. Oftentimes the punishment is way worse than the crime itself - he doesn't just go after murderers and rapists. Yeah, that's a good point. I haven't read all that much Punisher, I didn't think of it, but you're totally right. It makes me even more convinced he'd make for a good questionable ally/villain, so that you could explore that contrast and the difference it makes.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Yea I agree with this. For me the series felt like it started off strong and kept getting better and better peaking at ep 8. The rest of the episodes were ok, but didn't seem quite as good. This is basically exactly how I felt. I'm glad I'm not the only one. It was still really good, but the last act was the weakest. But... I suppose it is a TV series and not a movie. So I guess it makes sense that it wouldn't have a super satisfying awesome ending. I can forgive it a bit, since they're gonna continue the story in a very direct sense. Looks like Marvel still needs to figure out how to do a good ending a TV series.

Optimus Subprime posted:I'm up to episode 12 of the show and I think its been good, but I can't really handle the Kingpin actor. His voice is really weird, and his cadence and inflection are unsettling in a bad way. Also his mandarin is terrible, but not too many people would get that. I have absolutely no idea about anything mandarin but I could still tell his chinese sounded super awkward, especially since they gave Gao as a comparison of how it was supposed to sound. It didn't take me out of it, though, I thought it was appropriate for him. He's still small-time compared to, like, Donald Trump or Tim Cook or something. I doubt he gets much practice, and he's also fundamentally selfish, so although intellectually he understands the value of respecting and understanding others, it's instinctually repellent to him to actually do that, so he might not put in the full effort.

Something I haven't seen mentioned is that whoever played young Matt did a really great job. For a kid, at least. So often you have kid actors that suck so bad and really take you out of it; having a child actor of his age who could act well enough to drive a scene was excellent. The younger version of the other character wasn't half bad either, but Matt was better imo. Also there can't be enough praise given to the score. Most of it was fairly subtle and in the background, but it was done extremely well, way beyond normal TV fare, and really enhanced the scenes and help set the mood. Question: what was Fisk's weird little plastic thing in the corner of his apartment? Trash can? Ash tray? R2D2? BrianWilly posted:For whatever it's worth though, the show isn't perfect. As some have mentioned, episode 7 is strangely weak, and I don't think the rest of the season ever truly recovers from it. quote:1x13 And while I loved the Daredevil vs Kingpin fight at the end, I feel like it's a bit of a cocktease to show Fisk commanding an entire goddamn army to escape the police and then end up showing Daredevil leaping to the rescue by fighting...two...of them? At most? 1x13 This. This is what would have worked for me. Fully actualized Daredevil 1.0 with armor & club versus not just Kingpin, but Kingpin and like 5 heavily armed paramilitary operatives, all at once. That would have been loving spectacular.

Optimus Subprime posted:So I finished the show So what was Kingpin trying to actually achieve other than buying out properties and bulldozing them? Was he just trying to entrench his criminal empire or something? How was that going to make the city better? For all his talk about bettering the city, I have no clue what he actually meant by it. Well, I got two answers. First one, my impression is that they'd bulldoze Hell's Kitchen and then rebuild it to be less lovely. Maintain order and high standards with an iron fist. Second one, we don't see a clear plan from Fisk 'cause maybe he didn't have one. His entire Good Samaritan Savior of the City persona was at least partly a pretense. He may have wanted to be that person, and there may have even been a good side to him... but, largely, he was just in it for personal power and wealth. Wilson Fisk is a scared little boy, and needs to feel safe. He's killing the Russian mob/his dad for the himself just as much as he's doing it for the city/his mother. Maybe only for himself. As of the end of the season, it looks like he's starting to either accept this is true, or decide that it is.

Svaha posted:They really managed to sell the whole ridiculous superhero premise without constantly winking to the audience as if to say "Well yes, this part is incredibly stupid, but superhero show, amiright?" I really, really appreciated this. There have been plenty of shows and movies that included lots of over-the-top superhero comic book stuff in the past, sure. But I feel like almost everything up until now has felt the need to apologize for it. Like, things fell into 1 of 2 categories: either it's serious, and so it's realistic and avoids extreme comic book stuff, like Nolan's Batman, or it embraces it but then takes a step back and says "haha, just kidding, we don't expect you to take this stupid bullshit seriously!" like Schumacher's Batman. This just went "gently caress you" to all of that. It made the statement that you can tell a story that has outrageously unrealistic fantastical elements, and still take it seriously, still have serious drama and rich characters. (and also some humor, but not at the expense of the stakes of the show) A couple of the MCU movies have done this too, and I guess you could say Agents of SHIELD is trying to do this, but it's the first time I've seen it done well on live-action TV.

Drifter posted:He cares about 2 people. 1x13 I guess? General theme of the show stuff. I think there's a very strong case to be made that Fisk was not, in fact, just evil all along. That, although he says that he was the thief all along and it seems like he's "accepting" this, that maybe there's something more subtle than that going on. There's a theme all throughout the series of the struggle between Good and Evil in Matt. It's not just a story about how Matt has to accept that he was an inherently good person all along; he has to decide who he's going to be. He could have gone down a darker path, if he had chosen. The potential for evil was in him all along. Perhaps the same could be said of Fisk. It seems like he's just accepting who he is, but maybe that's just bullshit that he's telling himself so he can feel good about who he is, just like everything else he says about himself. It makes more sense to me that he's not just accepting that he's evil; he's deciding that. He's making a conscious choice to discard any potential good that he may have in him, and to embrace the devil. And that only works if there was good in him to begin with.

Hollismason posted:You said it way better than me , the entire series deals with this Catholic idea of Damnation. The way that Matt describes his world is his world is on fire, like he's literally living in hell Yeah, don't get me wrong. 1x13 When I say "good" in Fisk, I'm mostly talking about how he does seem to care about at least a few other human beings. Wesley, Vanessa, and his Mom all seem to be people Fisk really cares for. He cares for himself more, but there's at least something there. And the city renovation, yeah, that seems like almost entirely pretense. But hell, that's not the worst place in the world to start. As Wesley says, he does seem to genuinely love the city; it's just a very twisted, conditional love. If Fisk had decided he wanted to reform, that could maybe be a seed of him trying to actually be a better person. You go through the motions long enough, wear a mask long enough, eventually it does start to influence you. If Daredevil goes around murdering people for long enough, then regardless of his motivations that'll corrupt him. Same goes for Fisk. If he decided to make a real effort to be good, and went around helping people and improving the city, then maybe eventually it'd start to make a change to him, as well. Damnation is huge in Catholicism, but so is salvation.

Wolpertinger posted:Part of Arrow's appeal was the over-the-topness, though. It's so different tonally - it's always been pretty much a superhero soap opera. I wouldn't say adding more ridiculous villains changed much at all, really. After this season, I have confidence they can add pretty much anything as ridiculous as they want and still keep the tone even. How do you let Daredevil fight Stilt-Man and still keep it serious? Well, step one is assuming it can be done and committing to it. I bet they could do it if they tried. Wolpertinger posted:None of what we saw had anything like that tone so I don't think we need to worry about it too much. Crossover stuff like Defenders? Sure, there will probably be more blatant superpower poo poo to be worthy of four superheroes, the other three of which are all considerably harder hitting and tougher than Daredevil, but it still probably won't ever get hammy like Arrow and sometimes AoS. Goddamn it's gonna be good seeing Daredevil keep up with a bunch of super-strength heavyweights and see what he contributes to a fight and how he makes up for not being able to throw cars or crush steel with better combat awareness and tactics. I wonder if he'll be the leader instead of Cage.

Shageletic posted:Watched through ep 9. Gonna wait a bit, don't want too binge too much and have the show just blur together. I love that they had Matt do that exact iconic pose at one point. 1x13 I think it was in the big parkour montage when he was chasing the blind drug mule to find Gao's factory. I don't know if it's from anything particular, but that sort of "Jumping T Pose", where he's flying through the air with his feet together and his arms sticking out to his sides seems very "Daredevil" to me, though lots of other acrobatic superheroes do it as well. I wish we could have seen him do it in the red suit.

Even from a distance I see dancing pixels and "snow drifts." My ultra nitpick is holy GOD Wesley's ears were red in some of his scenes. (I'm not sure if it was always him, maybe other characters too). Indoor shots. Maybe they didn't have heat? It was genuinely distracting. Maybe put some make-up on that or something if you're doing an HD tv show, I just can't look away, it's like Rudolph but with ears.

Boogaleeboo posted:Hilariously 1x13 Wesley was the only thing that could have saved Ulrich's life. If he just told Fisk, they both would have gotten killed and that's that. If Fisk wasn't distracted, he gets the call and they are both dead. Wesley getting the call and trying to scare her into shutting up would have saved both their lives and kept Fisk from getting worked up. As an added bonus, it would have made no difference to how vulnerable Fisk was in the end. Indeed, nothing the main characters did outside the last episode mattered very much in bringing down Fisk. This is the totality of what they did: Daredevil beat up a cop, and protected another one. That's it. And it was enough, but those are the only two meaningful things our group did to actually take down Fisk. Karen did all that for nothing. 1x13 I thought this too at first; there's a scene near the end where Foggy's like "And we beat Fisk! All that legal work we did was worth it, we took him down." And I was thinking "wait, no you loving didn't, none of the poo poo you did make a lick of difference." But it did, if you follow back everything that happened. Daredevil only was able to find the location the hiding partner was at because of some poo poo that Karen dug up in the last episode. And so that was based on tons of other stuff they had done throughout the series. The visit to Marlene Fisk was totally pointless though, you're right about that. They... maybe could have cut this down to 10 episodes. Unless there was a scene where Karen used that story to convince Foggy to recommit to the crusade. That might have happened, I remember her talking about it with someone. Ugh, it was like 4am+ when I was watching those later episodes. Next time I'll put some breaks in between.

Did you not buy the idea that when the Chitauri invaded during Avengers, and completely destroyed Hell's Kitchen, and essentially got Super-Katrina'd, that could have this much of a negative effect? The CCTV all got blowed up. All the businesses got blowed up. No one with money lives there anymore 'cause they either died or moved because their house was blowed up.

NmareBfly posted:Series could use some more ladies around in general. Basically all the villain NPC's are dudes, and I guess it makes sense for street toughs but were there any female cops? I think one got snipered but I dunno if any had a single line. Elektra will help with this. At least the ones they did have were all pretty drat competent -- well, the lawyer-lady whose name I forget is mainly good at stealing files without getting noticed and they don't have much of her on-the-job doing lawyer stuff, but if she's made partner you can assume she knows what she's doing. Madame Gao was great too but they had to keep her totally enigmatic so she's less a character and more a force of nature. Full Series: I didn't wanna complain about this too much, but while this show does a better job with its women than many, maybe most media, it still has a few steps to go. As someone mentioned, they still do the Female Lead Can't Find Out the Secret! tension. That was annoying, but Karen wasn't just there to function as the love interest of the main character, and instead got her own plot, so I'll say they're still out on top with Karen. Claire, despite Rosario Dawson knocking it out of the loving park, was mostly Matt's love interest, though. She didn't have anything of her own going on, really. Karen, Claire, and Vanessa are all put in damsel in distress roles repeatedly, unlike Foggy, Ben, or Wesley. And I know it's a lame test that you can't use as an absolute, but I think the only scene where multiple women are in the same scene together talking about their own poo poo is when Claire talks to Shirley, the hospital administrator, for like two lines. Other than that I can count the number of times women talk to each other about anything on one hand. Again, the show does pretty well by women. Karen, Gao, and to some extent Cardenas are all strong characters with their own plots, and Claire, Vanessa, and Marci are strong supporting characters. I thought Fisk's wife-beating dad story was handled quite deftly. The bruises you see on Marlene's arms in her first flashback were super loving disturbing. But, there's still some room to grow.

seaborgium posted:Spoilers for most of the series I think, though surprisingly related to the subtitles: I thought the subtitles were related to what the characters believed people knew. Anytime people thought they needed a translator, no subtitles. You had to rely on a translator. As soon as the characters knew that they didn't need a translator, they got subtitles. Gao and Kubo initially didn't get subtitles as Fisk said he needed a translator, same with the scenes with Elena and Foggy in them. He needed a translator so no subtitles. Later, we got subtitles when it was just Karen and Elena, they both knew spanish. As soon as Fisk and Gao revealed they knew each others native tongue we got subtitles, there was no perceived need for a translator. Could be wrong, but that's how my subtitles seemed to be working. You're right, and to go further, that's because they only subtitle it if the audience is supposed to know. They don't subtitle stuff when the main characters don't understand it, because we're supposed to be identifying with them, so it doesn't make sense to give us extra information they don't have. It would undermine our ability to sympathize with the characters and understand the situation. Like if there's a "fish out of water" scene in some movie where an American is in China and everyone's talking about him and he has no idea what's being said, and he's confused and nervous, you wouldn't subtitle that, either. It's a deliberate effect. So if two foreigners are alone talking non-English together, that gets subtitled, but if a main character is captured by those same people and they're talking about him/her, maybe that doesn't get subtitled. It could seem inconsistent, but it's purposeful. Though yeah there's also a separate issue where Netflix subtitles are only like 95% reliable and sometimes just skip whole lines because of lag or whatever.

Gyges posted:1X11 11 Sure, but I'm not sure why you're singling out Karen when you could say all the same things about Matt. Matt got Old Lady Elena killed, Claire tortured, a little kid kidnapped and his dad crazy beaten up, and all other sorts of horrible things. In the end, none of that is on Matt or Karen, it's on the sick fuckers that are actually doing the murdering. You can martyr yourself or other people all you want, but in the end, Elena was the one that decided to keep sticking up for herself and fight for her neighbors, and Fisk was the one who decided to kill her. It's not reasonable to blame Matt for it, even if he could have prevented it. Same goes for Karen and, for instance, the danger she supposedly placed Ben into. She's not in control of Ben's life, he is. He put his own self in danger, not her. That's all on him.

Gyges posted:1x12 That makes sense, I actually can see the differentiation you're making between her and Matt. I'll be really interested to see where they take her character and what kind of crazy poo poo she has in her backstory.

Deadpool posted:Remember starting tonight at 3am EST we no longer have to use spoiler tags. I'll be taking a vacation at that point as I'm only done through episode seven. But I'd like to ask everyone that has posted how well you like this policy for spoilers and would you like it to continue for other Netflix shows? I think pretty much everyone understood it and did exactly as it was laid out and in that case I'd call it a success but I'd like to hear feedback from you guys as well. For reference, I'm a whiny "keep your spoilers away!!!!" person. I even avoided looking at the full costume. I think the policy worked very well. It helped me read reactions to episodes as I was going through it, and then hopefully tag stuff appropriately I finished. Also, even though 72 hours might seem short, in practice I feel like it was plenty of time for the policy to be in place. I'm super ready to just have open field discussion of the show. I'd even be fine if you cut it back to 48 hours in the future. There are people who haven't finished yet, but as you mention, anyone who doesn't wanna be spoiled really oughta know not to come into an active thread. One thing though - If the OP wanted, they could even link to where discussion of the show started, with an explanation that the first several pages have all the spoilers tagged by episode. Because that discussion might still be interesting to newcomers, and all the posts will remain properly labeled, and then eventually they'll get to your post that says "spoiler tags are about to end" and they can stop reading. Just a thought though.

 Is there a better match than this? This is wine, I thought they were drinking hard liquor of some type.

strangemusic posted:Is it wrong that I (13) significantly preferred the tacktleneck duds to the actual Daredevil suit? It's a really goddamn good costume. 13 The tailor said that some parts of his costume weren't finished, so it could look different next time we see it. I sure wouldn't mind a sleeker, simpler design.
