Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Moderators: Batman, Zero, John Madden, Bob Ross, General Zod, Richard Simmons

That might explain why there wasn't Romita Deli. :) Though I seem to recall an inordinate number of Miller signs in the bar.

Who drew the Bulletin cover at the end? If that was Weeks, it could make him technically a crew member....

Is that real or a very well-done Photoshop?

I won't lie; I was hoping for the more traditional skull. But it still looks most triumphant.

It's good. Reminiscent of the ghosts' skull from Call of Duty though, which I'm kinda hoping wasn't intentional (but know it must have been).

Jessica Jones starts next week. (Starts? Is start the right word? They all drop at once...)

Anyway, it looks pretty fuckin' dark. Even darker than DD. I'm excited. I'd wager Newsbot is too.

Hear, hear. I'll be watching it all next weekend provided I get home from my training course as planned on Friday night.

watched the first episode earlier. i'd agree it's dark, but it doesn't stray from the original comic, so i'm not surprised. definitely impressed with the lead, i only know her as an annoying college chick from Gilmore Girls, so i didn't know what to expect.

I only knew her from Veronica Mars and Don't Trust the B.
I honestly wasn't sure if she could pull it off, but the show is quite good.

I'm halfway thru episode 8. It's just a creepy mindfuck of a series. David Tennant is stealing the series just like D'onofrio did.

Watched the next 8 episodes today.
Obly 3 left and damn, I want to finish this, but the eyelids are getting heavy.
The cast is all around great. I had my doubts about Kristen Ritter, but she's killin' it. David Tennant is a great villain.
Much like Daredevil, this is basically a 13 hour movie.

A few good Easter eggs in here and the introduction to a character I didn't expect. I looked the character up to see if it was anyone in particular and it is someone I'm aware of, but didn't know their comic backstory.

I realized who it was about halfway thru the series. I kinda kicked myself that I didn't see it sooner, but they changed his first name from Frank. Once the doc gave him the red, white, and blue pills it clicked.
