As I'm aware Disney/Marvel could make a Spider-Man TV show if they wished, right?
They do. Ultimate Spider-Man.
They have only the animated rights. Everything regarding Live-Action is owned by Sony.

The bottom line is that if Marvel wanted live-action Spidey in season 2 of Daredevil, they could get him. They're all powerful at this point.

Episode 9:
Wow, Nobu's outfit is stupid.

Awesome to see Urich is in this. I know Pants played him in the movie, but I forgot that he's a big part of Daredevil's world.
Do they ever call the Kingpin by his title? I wonder if like Urich not working for the Bugle they can't use the name because of Spider-man. Also, I wonder if Urich's thing is like Kingpin, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch, since he's almost as much a part of Spider-man as he is Daredevil so the deal would have to be interesting.

Just finished the season. That was a great ride. Just very good entertainment. Some minor flaws here and there but nothing too annoying. Loved the fight scenes and the cinematography as a whole. Great cast too. And I like it how Fisk get's a lot of quality time too. They've really took care in building the characters.
Yeah. It ruined the rest of the episode for me.
Not only do they do that, but they show all the workers working happily in a later scene. It's so sloppy and it undercuts the drama. It was also the only episode that used a cheap dream plot-point for additional drama. Weak directing, and weak editing.

Wow, Mighty Ducks is really butchering Foggy Nelson.
First big blunder of Marvel casting.

Really? I mean, he is the weakest link, but I thought that after 20 years of shitty acting he was finally doing a halfway decent job, if not "good" in this.
1st episode? He settles in by episode 3.
He gets better as the series goes on and they give him more than the scenery to chew on.
I haven't read any Daredevil comics so I don't know how true his portrayal of the character is. But I do like him as an actor in this show. Foggy Nelson is fine.

Really? I think he does great. Adds a note of much-needed levity.

Foggy does great, especially in episode 10. Great casting.
He's just terrible whenever he speaks legalese. As a side character he is perfectly fine.

Just finished episode 5 - I'm not very familiar with the comics so I've only seen the portrayal of Fisk in the Daredevil movie/animated show universe. But I really like what they're doing with him so far, he's a very compelling villain. This is shaping up to be a really, really great series if they keep up the tempo for all thirteen episodes. I really am starting to dig how Netflix does TV shows now.
I really like Foggy. Him and Karen seem to play off each other really well, so far at least.

Mecklemore Is My Favorite Wrapper
People can lay off with the "Loki is the only good MCU villain" stuff now too. The average person is probably much more scared of a crime lord on that level taking over their neighborhood than whatever corporate squabblings Stark is having this week. D'Onofrio made this character his much in the same way RDJ made Iron Man his.

My favourite character by far in the show, kicks over anthills and makes things happen.
PACING SPOILER (nothing specific):
I think the show is let down a bit by not having threads for its characters, Stick should be in the beginning of the season and show up consistently.
Instead of training him for one episode and then leaving him, no way did he get to that standard so damn quick
Which I find odd as Spartacus as a comparison with less time had loads of character work for at least 5-6 people per episode, where this focuses on maaaybe 2-3 and doesn't actually get much done.
Love the show, but find this to be its main weakness so far.

Fisk is the best and scariest villian in the MCU IMO. He owned that role.
lol at the Netflix spoiler...they dont care about spoilers(its a mild one I admit but I understand why some people may not like it),I bet they will hear about this on Twitter or what now...they should of kept the original screentag,just showing Murdock's face with the round sunglasses...
Yeah, I don't really see why they changed it. I personally don't care that much. But since the suit is revealed so late in the season it's obvious that it was intended to be something the audience should look forward to.
He looks badass suited up by the way. Can't wait to see more of that next year.
Fisk is far and away the best element of this show. Ben Ulrich was solid as well.
Everything else ranged from just competent to disappointing. The action was superfluous and honestly hilarious. All that spinning and flipping was so goofy to watch. The Oldboy homage in episode 2 was the highlight - enough for me to forgive how laughably incompetent these goons are with guns, and those weird wall kicks Matt likes to do. The surveying camera shot which went to and fro was a nice touch.
Back to Fisk: he's easily the most well built villain in the MCU, and by far the most interesting. D'Onofrio's portrayal gave life to the character. His measured cadence and sometimes childlike disposition were well worn. It was a memorable role that allowed a lot of the scenes in this show to work. He truly carried the momentum every time he showed up.

I'm okay with guys not being able to shoot Matt since his abilities and agility allows him to dodge bullets.

If only we can get a Blade series on Netflix, so this thing can be wiped from our memories like the DD movie was
Fuck yea, we need vampires in the MCU.
My fream slate for a second set of netflix series would be
Daredevil s2
Heroes for Hire(Iron fist, Luke, and JJ team up show)
Blade
Punisher
Glass Rebel

I'm not sure I can see anyone but Wesley Snipes as Blade. I guess since I'm unfamiliar with the comics he's even more iconic than Jackman as Wolverine to me.

So my thoughts for the season are ....
8/10
The show is very solid stuff. The creators know the formula to great television, and generally execute it well. It reminded me of the Dark Knight trilogy, Dexter, Damages and The Sopranos in a way. All good stuff.
My main issues with the show is that I found it way too predictable. I have not read the comics, really I know nothing about it, haven't read any spoilers, but I guess having watched a lot of the things that I have mentioned, they do make it easy for me to spot what's going to happen, and how things are going to fall into place.
The acting is good from pretty much everybody except for the two major supporting actors, Foggy and Karen. They were trying to act a little much and they never really improved at all which I found distracting. The fight scenes were decent, but the impact of the hits being edited in the usual American way and the sound effects made them sound weaker.
Also I know it's a television show based on a comic but I really didn't need to see an overly serious Japanese guy be business man, a Yakuza and a ninja. Oh and the Daredevil costume looks dumb.
Nonetheless I did binge watch the show over three days, so a lot is done right. I especially liked the development and complexity of the big baddie. I also liked the darker tone which is a plus when considering its a part of the MCU. Boobies would have been nice but whatever.

The end of 3 and that incident in 4 are about as bad as it gets, as I recall.

Episode 1 wasn't anything special, minus the fights.
Episodes 2 and 3 really get away from the "Hey, look, we're Marvel" atmosphere.

Thanks. Is it consistently that bad for the rest, or is that kind of the apex of the extreme violence/gore?
That's the apex. End of three had me straight wincing and that bit in 4 was a little over the top, but from there I don't recall anything near those highs of brutality.
That is reassuring. Kind of shocked how violent the show is. Thanks -Cade!
