Charlie’s face matches my general mood about this show. 😳 Very cool to see Karen’s sister-in-law, but they’re a bit old to still wear matching jammies. 😈The tall guy in the vest has to be playing Fisk’s kid, correct? Nice to see Matt will be making an appearance this season. Also, I can’t help but imagine Matt’s outfit sleeveless. Elektra’s enough of a weirdo I accept she just likes it like that, but this comic outfit stuff is funny sometimes. It’s a little bit Barbie. I loved that the old show made me buy it. If Melvin didn’t make this, burn it. (Melvin4Life).
It cuts me up how little I care. Just not a comic fan, can’t help it. I was a TV fan. They lost me. Not here for people in funny outfits pretending to fight other people in funny outfits. This fandom survived on dialogue from priests, nuns, and between friends in a law office for a decade. Name a quote from Born Again. One thing you’ll remember that cut you deep, moved you, or that will stay with you. I think “I’m Daredevil” is it, but it was so rushed and unsupported by buildup that it’s like they released it in a teaser, out of context.
Sorry to be a downer…but this marketing killed this show worse than the half-finished writing and eliminating Matt, Foggy and Karen from Daredevil. I was pumped for Jessica from the pics released and her lines were 90% childbirth, being a mother, reminding us she has a kid, and oh yeah, motherhood makes you weak. My expectations were not high, but it turned out I needed a shovel to lower them even further. And now it’s nakedly just… “Here ya go, comic people, we have made hot people exercise a lot to wear the funny outfits you like so much. Tune in to see if the cinematographer will let you spot them on screen through the glare! Keep an eye out!”
All the Marvel Netflix shows had a downward trend in viewership after Daredevil S1 except a spike for The Punisher. I LOVED all those shows and that story (to say the least), but looking at that graph was so obvious to me. They broke up Nelson, Murdock and Page and lost the audience. It’s that simple.
It was really cool that they were forced to actually write something I cared about back in the day. Wish they would have written and finished complete episodes for this. My family was so bored during the finale that we paused it multiple times to chat about other things. (PS If you apply some basic percentages the awesome genius KM Weiland figured out for basic story outlines to DD as one series of 78 eps, the finale was THE finale of the whole story. The climax. Karen vs. Fisk was the climax of the OG series alone). If I made my family all come over and watch Daredevil right now, for the millionth time each, 4 episodes would pass and we’d all try to reluctantly unstick our creaking bodies from the couch just because four hours is a lot, not because we were bored. If someone needed to pause, we’d all moan, “Oh no, come on,” and burst into conversation about something brilliant and awesome in the show. “I never noticed this or that, I loved the part where, this always meant so much to me, it’s so cool how this tied to that, I’m not crying, you’re crying,” blah blah blah.
What did the audience feel about this? “Wilson Bethel is SMOKING.” That’s about it.
