Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)
Went active last night at 12:00.
I watched the first six episodes already. I like that they're taking their time getting to the red suit.
It's interesting to see Foggy getting Karen instead of Matt. So far. That may change.
And Matt gets Night Nurse.
It's pretty violent. The guy offing himself after giving up Fisk made me go WTF! Somebody spoiled the car door thing so I was prepared for it. But still brutal considering it's Marvel.
I'm guessing season 2 will be Elektra/Bullseye and season 3 will be Born Again.

Seeing as this debuted less than 24 hours ago, you might want to watch the spoilers.
I'm through episode 4. I'm really liking it. The violence is a surprisingly brutal at times.

Re: Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)
I'm pissed off. Charlie Cox has a fantastic rug of hair on his chest and they shaved him bald for this show. So sick of this emasculation of guys. Aiden Turner of The Hobbit and the UK version of Being Human has also been shorn for his role in historical drama Poldark. Thankfully they only trimmed him but what is so bad about body hair? Must everyone look like a farking Ken Doll? Speaking of alterations, did you see what they did to Richard madden of Game of thrones for Disney's Cinderella? They literally made him look plastic. Nuclear blast white teeth and PVC smooth complexion. Farking abysmal.
Daredevil though, to get back on topic. I probably won't see this for some time. I daresay my other half will like it. For a bourgeois pacifist he loves him some violent action. He actually liked the Affleck movie of DD so this should give him a proper chubby.

I have never read any of your posts, but from what I can learn I should say that for people who like the kind of posts you deliver, they are just the kind of posts such people like.

Re: Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)
planned on watching only the first episode late last night, ended up watching three. so great. i agree, the fight scenes are incredibly visceral - street-level, knock-down drag-out style.
Life is short. STUNT IT!

Re: Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)
Well the TV series just deviated greatly from the comics. A HUGE supporting player doesn't make it to the end of the season.

Re: Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)
I'm trying to decide if I like the red suit or not.
I think I mostly like it, but I think the helmet/mask is a little clunky.

Re: Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)
I'm through episode 10. I'm pacing myself by watching a few at a time, but it gets hard to stop watching.
Episode 9 was fucking amazing. The highlight of the series thus far.

Re: Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)
i just finished now. holy shit, was that a brutal show. great, but brutal.
the costume is okay. i'm sure it will evolve further in subsequent seasons. they sure gave it a slow burn getting there, though.
who else picked up that Madame Gao is possibly from K'un L'un or one of the other capital cities of heaven? the homeland "a great distance further" than China? and that the stamp on her heroin was the Steel Serpent emblem.

Re: Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)
Trying not to read spoilers so don't judge me for not replying or whatever. Fuck, that tracking shot at the end of part 2 was amazing. I'm sold hard, with 11 episodes to go.

Elodie Yung, who played Jinx in the 2nd GIJoe movie, has been cast as Elektra for DD season 2.

It's shaping up. I'm excited & I'd wager newsbot is too.

Re: Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)
My niece had a baby, and my wife wanted to help out during delivery. I was at my in-laws' place all day, with Netflix.
I'm sure you see where this is going.
About 9 episodes in (though honestly just burning through and not counting). This is a fucking masterpiece.
The Owl was so subtle, I didn't realize he was in it until Vladimir dropped his last name. I picked up on Absorbing Man easily, and noticed one of the fighters seen on a poster appeared to be Lee Weeks.
So, the dude talking to Stick: when he refers to "the doors open[ing]," I'm not totally misreading that and it is indeed an Iron Fist reference, right?

Re: Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)
Creel also appeared in full on Absorbing Man mode on Agents of SHIELD.
The explanation being he fought Murdock as a young (18-20ish) up and coming boxer before he turned to crime and got powers (10-15 years later).
The Lee Weeks one isn't. They made a conscious effort to not do those kind of Easter eggs. The names on the posters are those of crew members. Weeks is a coincidence.

Re: Daredevil (the MCU/Netflix topic)
My theory is that the son Leland kept mentioning (seriously, they kept shoehorning that in there) is Leland Owsley, Jr. and he's gonna come back find out his dad is dead and become the actual Owl in future seasons.
At least, that's my hope.
