Watching the new Daredevil Netflix series

Mmmmm Napalm · April 10, 2015, 09:29:15 PM

Pretty good so far, on episode four. I know very little about Daredevil, but as with most of the MCU you don't really need to know much about the comics to get into it. It's set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it has a very gritty tone, pretty close to that of the comics based on what little I know about them.

Acting is good, fight scenes are good, very intense, Dardevil isn't afraid to use rather violent interrogation measures. Rated MA, but all I've heard is "shit" so far so language isn't too bad.

I'd recommend it.

Deci could make a better show than that.

I completely forgot about that. I'll have to stay tomorrow morning.

It's clearly competing with Arrow and Gotham. So far I'm not very impressed, but it's decent.

Are you talking about the character, or this show in particular?

LOL, indeed. Turkey listed those so I figured I'd compare them.

I've been meaning to ask Tackelberry who stuck a stick up your arse? You've been butthurt since yesterday.

Watching Deci rage is funny. Too bad though, he just found out there was a mute button.

The Flash goes back in time to avoid a title wave which he could have easily out ran. Your point is invalid.

To be fair, he'd have to go back in time to avoid the opening title.

Fifty years from now, do you think the kids of the day will these shows the same way we view that 60's Batman show with Adam West?

The 60's Batman Series is comedic and campy on purpose, so probably not. Furthermore, the acting these days is pretty good. If anything they'll be puzzled by the lack of holographic projections.

It's not supposed to be top-notch in the Adam West series though. It's designed so kids think it's neat, and adults enjoy it because it's ridiculous.

I didn't expect the actor playing Murdock to look more of a douchebag than Ben Affleck.

I don't know too much about the actual comic character, but given what I know I'd say it's alright. Murdoch is Catholic, an excellent speaker/lawyer, soft-spoken, etc.

You'd probably be a better judge than me as to it's accuracy, so I'd recommend checking it out yourself.
Getting a pretty positive response, Jason Aaron (comics writer) said it was the best adaption of a Marvel character he'd seen.
