Tonight I begin reading Waid's Daredevil. I got the first two Hardcovers a while ago, but haven't had the chance to read them (though I have flipped through some of this series when it first started).

I wonder if Netflix's show is gonna lean towards a lighter Matt or one that's all dark and sad and tortured.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Waid it doing some sort of consulting for the Netflix series, so hopefully it's the former as his run on Daredevil has been fantastic. I wasn't fan of the character at all before he took over.

Heh likewise, but my idea for a Daredevil series kinda goes like this:
Cheerful beginnings>Things start going south>things go south>things go south REAL BAD>Recovery>Waid's Daredevil

How many seasons would it take to adequately get that across? Like, season one ends with Karen Page's death, Season Two is Hell, Season 3 is worse, Season 4 is him recovering, Season 5 is fun?

at Marvel's rate, that will take six decades.

just speed it up and you go to the next step every 2 episode, so by ep 10, things are really really bad.

“It’s been a really interesting experience, actually, stepping outside of Jessica. It feels sort of weird,” she said. “Jessica was like an old pair of jeans. I knew every rip, every stretched out spot. It just fit me just right after so many years. Karen, it’s going to take a little bit of time, but I’m starting to figure out how to fit into those clothes.”

Woll admitted it’s taking a little bit longer for her to access Karen Page, having played in the world of True Blood for so many years.

“By Season 3, I could cry for Jessica at the drop of a hat,” she said. “I cared about her as much as I care about myself, so it was just very easy to go there. Starting up with the new character [Karen] now, I remember being like, ‘Why is this so hard? I thought I was really good at this. I thought I had this whole emotional accessibility thing licked because it had been so easy for the last four or five years.’”

“And then I was like, ‘Oh, right. I’ve only known Karen for like four weeks as opposed to seven years.’ I have to do this work all over again, and maybe in two years I’ll be at the point where I can cry at the drop of a hat for Karen,” she continued. “But it just takes a little bit of extra effort to get there, and making things even more real or higher stakes for yourself, whatever you’ve got to do to get yourself there. It’s a reminder of how special it was to do that one show for seven years.”

I still have no idea what the scope is for any of these shows. Are they open to all 4 of them potentially going on long multi-season runs?

For the longest time I assumed each one would be a single season open-and-shut case.

From what I know, the deal with netflix is for 1 season a piece. Obviously they can negotiate more if they are successful.

I see they've preserved Foggy's always-magnificent hair.

Best hair in the Marvel U, folks.

Also HOLY SHIT IT'S THE KID FROM MIGHTY DUCKS. I know I must be late on that, but damn, he... kinda looks exactly the same.

For some reason I thought Karen had red hair too. Probably just assumed because of Deborah.

And ugh when will we get a shot of the suit!

Funnily enough, Deborah is a blonde. She's rocking her natural hair there.

The suit part is starting to worry me, BTW...

There's no reason to go week to week for any party involved. There's no additional revenue. If anything, it's worth less to Netflix as binge watching is their entire identity as far as TV goes at this point.

I am 100% certain it will be all at once.

I think she looks better with red hair but the blonde still looks good.

Yeah I'm really hoping it looks like that concept art I posted. I want to see the costume so badly and I'm hoping it turns out great.

It more than likely will be but you never know. Marvel could decide to release one at a time rather than all.

Page was alive in 616 for three and a half decades, y'know, and it's not likely that this show is adapting any particular comics arc.

Gonna spoiler tag since mods already deleted a bunch of posts. I don't really think it's a huge spoiler(I haven't even read DD and found out what happens but I don't think it's a big deal since show might not even go there) but yeah I don't think anything will happen.

I hope nothing does anyway. I think they should just set up other romantic interests while building up Page.

I hope to god they don't actually do all of that in the show. Fridging that many love interests would be so stupid(yes I know it's part of him but It would just get ridiculous if they do that many in the show) that I think they should maybe just kill off his first interest.

And I hope whoever they decide isn't

Aww the Milla hurt is still fresh :(

She deserved better. Watching as everything in her life spiraled downwards was heartbreaking. She was really good for Matt.

I will never forgive you for giving me bi-weekly dreams of Olyphant in the MCU that'll never happen.
