MusterMark Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah, GL was so bad too... ugh If I was a GL fan, I would have been devastated. I liked the movie very much. And as a GL fan, I was anything but devastated - the opposite of it, actually. +1, I was disappointed by Catwoman but the GL movie was fine. I've liked some movies better, but I didn't hate it, I even watched it again. I've been a GL fan since I was a kid and Hal Jordan was my first love. I too watched it twice. And would be happy to watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally's Comics Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I still think the DD Movie blew chunks. Comparing this Netflix series to that is like comparing the Batman 60's goof ball TV show to TDK! This show is very, very well written and feels more like an action/drama than just a show about a dude in costume. This Kingpin is very believable where the movie's kingpin was just a little too flamboyant / G-money to take seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonman5 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Charlie Cox wants Punisher, Elektra, and Bullseye - http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/cox-angles-for-new-daredevil-characters-hints-at-season-2-release-date Watching the show, I kept saying that its amazing and they can easily add someone like the Punisher to it, and make it even better. They can create sooooo many awesome stories with Punisher and Kingpin, similar to the comics. I still vote for the Born Again storyline to be done before anything else. Most the characters from that story, are already in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelcollector Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'd like the Affleck Daredevil movie reels to be buried forever never to be spoken of again. This. Time has only galvanized the initial impression that it was terrible. Oh, except for all the people who liked it. And there are actually a lot of them. Yeah. Must be about five of them in this thread alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisInBaltimore Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Finally finished the show! I fell asleep during the final episode and my wife finished it without me so I had to get caught up. I don't get why they had to kill Ben Urich...? He's a major part of the story, IMO. Killing him feels off. Otherwise- great show! I can't wait to see Jessica Jones and Luke Cage now.

Vikingreed Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I didn't understand why they'd do that either. Hated it, and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. However, that was one great scene.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Daredevil Charlie Cox Is Contracted To Do Marvel Movies "It’d be great. I’ve read Civil War [comic] now, I’ve read The New Avengers [comic], I know he’s in there but I think I missed the boat on Civil War because they’re filming that. I don’t know, Marvel have not mentioned that to me at all. It’s in my contract that if they want me to do it, I’m there, and I would love that. That would be an extension of the dream, but I’m a pretty happy customer at this point, to get to do the series again. And I get to do The Defenders at some point."

ChrisInBaltimore Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I didn't understand why they'd do that either. Yea I always liked the Daily Bugle angle too. Having Ben there ready to tell his story and to sort of being a confidant was always intriguing. Do you think they'll replace him next season?

Chip Cataldo Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I think the Bugle will be in next season and it'll be a reporter from here that replaces Urich in the Born Again storyline. Robertson, maybe? Leeds? There are a few ways they could cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveySwick Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Urich was important to the Born Again storyline because he knew Daredevil's identity and was friends with him. It doesn't seem like it would be an easy swap with another reporter. IMO, it was a terrible decision. And I like Tim's idea: Season 2 will be Miller's run of #168 - #181: Karen leaves a few episodes in and Elektra, Bullseye and the Hand will all introduced and the central story. Season 3 will be Born Again with Karen returning at the start of the season to set everything into motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although to Chip's point, it might be interesting if they introduce Leeds and then the Hobgoblin that might be intriguing. Hobgoblin could be an adversary to Kingpin.

Vikingreed Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 That would be extremely awesome, but I am not sure the Spidey deal includes TV rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidrvacc Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I believe that Marvel has the Tv rights to Spidey and Spidey characters , Sony just has the movie rights. Could be wrong. Here is a currrent article about the new Sony Marvel deal and it states Marvel always had the Tv rights. http://variety.com/2015/film/news/details-spider-man-appear-in-sony-and-marvel-movies-1201429039/ Sony needed to breathe life into its “Spider-Man” franchise; by lending its character to Marvel, it has a way to generate more exposure for its bigscreen hero. Doing so also creates some serious goodwill among Spider-Man fans, who have wanted to see the character become part of the Avengers. Marvel now gets access to one of the comicbook company’s most popular characters — it already controlled the rights for TV, merchandise and other platforms, but the holy grail for Disney has lately been film, where it has been able to launch franchises that impact the bottom line of all of its various divisions.
