MisterPL Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 We are so spoiled. Back in my day, we had to wait TEN YEARS for Clark Kent to finally put on a cape and even then it was super-disappointing. Shit, the guy didn't even fly. We should just be glad we're getting to see Murdock kicking ass and wearing a get-up that's from the source material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I don't see it as spoiled. I see it as the people who write the checks finally conceding that their "vision" isn't superior to the source material which has lasted longer than many of them have been alive.

funkguerilla Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Valo, I agree with much of what you're saying. I very much hope that he's in the Red (or even the Yellow) by at least mid-season (if you can call one of these Netflix drops a season) and I think it's weird that they haven't shown the final costume. That said, here's why I'm not worrying: 1- This is the first brand that Marvel Studios has had to refurbish and as such, they need to really accentuate what makes it different. Once that red suit hits, everyone's going to compare and contrast it to the Affleck suit (which I never minded) and bring the bad memories of that movie back into the forefront. So the way to mitigate that is to push the tone/feel of the show first to prime the audience about how it'll be different and more serious, and then after that's sunk in release the final costume. 2- Most of that footage in that trailer seemed like it was from the first episode or two. Matt Murdock, high priced lawyer and secret ninja, begins to "see" the world getting more dangerous while all the protectors are disappearing (I'm looking at you SHIELD), so he finally decides to step up and take action. So he tosses on something dark and hits the streets. That, to me, is not a 13 episode arc, that's like two or three at best. April cannot come soon enough!

MisterPL Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I trust Marvel. Even Fox managed to give us a decent interpretation of the Daredevil costume. Marvel is borrowing a proto-suit that's right out of their own books. I can't complain about that and I'm not inclined to complain about something that hasn't shown up yet. Hell, I'll applaud even if this makes an appearance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I trust we'll get the suit eventually however I just don't feel like dwelling on his origin for an entire season. Decompressed storytelling is a hangover from the early 2000's that could use a long break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Honestly there was next to nothing wrong with the DD costume in the Affleck movie. It'd be hard to distance away from that and still have a good Daredevil costume. It just looked really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 This is Marvel, a studio that just made a boatload of money on a movie with a walking tree and a talking raccoon in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I trust we'll get the suit eventually however I just don't feel like dwelling on his origin for an entire season. Decompressed storytelling is a hangover from the early 2000's that could use a long break.If it's good storytelling, and it's a good Daredevil story, then I'm definitely in for a 13 hour origin.

stack32 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Daredevil seems to me like one of the few heroes who could have 13 hours of origin story without it feeling horribly stretched out. I do think the costume will be something of a challenge. The simplicity works really well on the page but you need more detail on the screen. I hope it's not quite as much leather as the Affleck version though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 It looks great, I knew it would. I still don't see the logic in waiting so long for the reveal, but I guess it keeps the hype going leading into the debut tomorrow. I can't wait to see the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
