Daredevil the Netflix series

[Shawpaw]

I think season one is pretty much an origin for Kingpin as it is for DD. So we see the growth and molding for both characters. I think we see a refined Kingpin next time around as he will be more seasoned. Very, very good show. Loved it all.

Finished!

Absolutely excellent show, this is by far the best comicbook experience on TV/Movies, the long arcs and the developing characters that you only get from long running formats, this convinced me that TV is the best medium to get comicbook stuff outside comics, even better than movies.

I can dig Donofrio, he just needs to take it down a notch when he's in normal mode, but boy that dude is a true rhino, he's agile af, that final fight was off the chain yo!

And yeah, that final costume was ********, it had the "realistic" approach of Nolan's Batman and the cheapness of the MCU wardrobe, worst possible combination, I'm glad we had the black getup the entire season, this is worth a bluray buy if they ever release it.

I wonder if they'll ever transition this DD and Kingpin to the big screen? Marvel is lacking good villains.

Definate BR purchase.

Movies are at such a disadvantage aren't they.

I wonder if the Marvel shows will take after the movies, as far as home video goes? I'd love to see a "Defenders/Phase 1" box set, once all the shows are out.

 

[Shawpaw]

Can't wait to buy this on BR.

I really love Steven DeKnights influence on this. If you guys haven't watched Spartacus then you should. The first two season are amazing (others aren't bad). Andy Whitfield FTW.

 

[a-dev]

That whole series is incredible. Probably my number one favourite show.

 

[guy66657]

This show has just raised the bar for comic book television in general. It's incredible.

Maybe as cameos in other films. If DD was to get his own movie based on the series, it would have to be rated R, and I'm not sure if that is something Marvel is willing to do for the big screen.

Decapitation, eye stabbing suicide, bowling ball head crushing.

DC needs a TV show like this.

Joker/Crow Bar comes to mind.

That would be traumatizing...

I love it

Finished this series last night and quite frankly, the last 3 episodes ruined it for me. Too many characters made too many stupid moves. The fact that Karen is still alive after all the BS she pulled pisses me off to no end.

 

[GasparZizou]

Too many characters made too many stupid moves.

Like?

 

[bransen2099]

I think Ben pulled waaaaaaay more stuff than Karen before the series started so I don't see why it's not believable

 

[GasparZizou]

If you think about it, Karen survived by sheer luck, nothing unbelievable about that.

 

[Eiko82]

Like?

Spoiler

- Karen thinking that Fisk killing his dad in his youth would make him fall from grace in the eyes of the public and insisting that Ben Ulrich publish the story. Fisk was an abused 12 year old boy who killed his father whilst trying to protect his mother from a beating. It was not premeditated murder. I'm fairly certain that most people would feel nothing but sympathy for his actions.

- Wesley confronting Karen on his own about her visiting Fisk's mother and putting a loaded gun within arm's reach.

- Leland thinking he could threaten to Fisk and walk away unharmed after admitting he had a part in attacking Vanessa.

I think those are good points, which I too was aware of while watching. They didn't ruin it for me though.

Spoiler

-Ben explained exactly that to Karen.
-Wesley took the task upon himself, and he explained why, besides, it was a fairly easy task, he didn't count on Karen having balls.
-He had the advantage and the Chinese lady on his back, he technically did nothing wrong, if anything Fisk was the stupid one for attempting to fix it by force and killing Leland, but it was all part of Fisk being too emotional at the moment.

Don't see the problem there, sure, you can see them as mistakes, but mistakes aren't necessarily a problem in the plot.

 

[Anzik]

I would call them arrogant miscalculations.

 

[GasparZizou]

Yes, I agree, perfectly worded.
