Two alternate costumes Marvel were looking at:
The first one is superior to what we got.

Not even slightly. Slavish adherence to the comics is not the best way to go, case in point Captain America's Avengers outift.

I agree. I don't like the first one at all.
Don't think either of those are better to be honest. I don't have a problem with the show's suit though. The only issue has always been how the cowl fits Cox's head and chin.
And remember that artwork tells a different story than real life execution. This is the concept art for the one from the show:

Yes it is. Netflix outfit is boring and dumb. Too much black, covered nose, bulky helmet. It's doesn't look like Daredevil and it's wack. I'm not asking for slavish adherence. I'm asking for it to not be wack.
Only thing wrong with Cap's Avengers suit was the lack of chinstrap.

But that first concept is wack. Especially those weird ass baby goblin ears that look like they're growing from his cheeks.

I like the design Netflix went with, but still think the biggest single problem in execution is materials. The shiny canvas texture on the real life suit looks all wrong and cheap. Aside from that, it was just the neck and jaws of the cowl that needed to be tightened up.
Of course there's also the issue of the costume reveal coming off Murdock's cool-as-shit, gritty urban ninja outfit. Which made him look incredibly capable, acrobatic, and badass.
Ordinarily I'd actually recommend they'd have stuck with that, but it was a major plot point that Daredevil needed an armored suit or he wasn't going to survive much longer.

I wouldn't say it's his "fault", but the shape of his head does provide a challenge. I think if you put say the Nolan Batman cowl on him, it would still look kind of weird. At that point, it's up to the costume designer (both the artist and wardrobe) to adjust the design as best as possible.

And now you're going to point it out like it's a bad thing? You chose the wrong side, buddy.
No I was actually wondering if there's some sit of significance to it. If it was done on purpose.
I love that Chandler was playing Crash Team Racing in that scene.

That attention to detail is pretty great. Wait, how did Marvel get me to enjoy a Shawarma cameo in a Coke ad?Carl Harris (YouTube comment) said:

1000% agreed. The suit is not necessary and it freaking looks deformed.
Love makes you do dumb things.

It probably is "super dumb" from a legal standpoint but it doesn't appear he gives any fucks. He's doing what he has to in order to prevent Bucky from being killed for a crime he apparently didn't commit.
At this point Cap appears to have broken free from both the government and Avengers. If he's not dead by the end of this movie he'll at least be in government custody.

Totally agree. The minute he switched outfits I was like wtf... His initial one works perfect for live action... it's even kind of creepy.

The black costume is really cool! Super cool guys! You know what's not cool? Internal bleeding.

He fought to take SHIELD out of the shadows but then fights reasonable regulation of it. He's also helping a wanted killer only because he is his ally. I don't think he could be any more America in this case.
A killer that was mind controlled and couldnt do anything against it.
I hope they put Barton on the electric chair, too. Same thing, he also killed a lot of people and turned against the US.

That's fair. Bring back the dead families Bucky killed and he can walk with Cap into the sunset. If RedSkull had been mind controlled, Cap would still bring him in.
Then would be the guy who controlled the Red Skull the one who is to blame. I dunno, maybe its because I read Comicbooks, but the Mindcontrol thing is a OK execuse for me in a Comicbook movie.
But you ditched the Barton argument, those guys he killed or who where killed in the attack he lead had families to, why shouldnt he get the chair?

The killer is a POW that was brain wiped and kept on ice for decades. He fought to level SHIELD not bring it into the light or reform it, but end. When the avengers start taking out people with Kang the Conquerors time traveling then we have a comparison.

I'm watching Daredevil again and the first time, it was so entertaining that I never thought about it, but what exactly was Kingpin aiming to do? He claims it's too save the city, but I can't see the villain's perspective like I usually do. All I see him doing is killing folk and what is his hustle exactly. Slinging rocks?
Sounds exciting.
