Why is a thread title change punishment? lol

I'm just trying to make my city a better place.

IT WAS ME, TOBOR

Do you believe in the Devil? I believe he walks among us.

 

[Wiktor]

It honestly depends how popular the others are.

Well. Netflix seems to be renewing pretty much everythging they make. If crap like Hemlock got more seasons DD is pretty much a sure thing.

 

[vatstep]

Does anyone happen to know the average length of the episodes? Is it like 42 minutes, 50, or something like 56?

52-56

They've said each one is between 52-58 minutes.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Lol weeks of deliberation over the OT title and it just gets changed like a day later.

 

[Bleepey]

I thought the Marvel Knights shows would be released 3-4 months apart with potential for them being annual.

 

[vatstep]

52-56

Awesome, thanks!

 

[duckroll]

I just hope they won't stick to original plan, which is 4 shows and then Defenders. Because at this rate it would mean we won't see S2 of DD till like late 2017/early 2018.
The recent rumblings suggest they might try to squeeze couple DD seasons before Defenders. Hope they go for this aproach.

I think the general "plan" is just that they want all 4 shows before Defenders, it doesn't mean that all 4 have to be released before any of them get another season. There are probably a ton of crazy logistics involved, but each show has different cast and crew, and different showrunners, so as long as there's money flowing I don't see why they can't make another season of Daredevil while also making the other shows.

If Netflix is happy with the result of Daredevil, season 2 could definitely go into production before Iron Fist even starts. The way I see it, "Defenders" is basically the Marvel/Netflix Avengers at street level, so it wouldn't be surprising if the first Defender gets another season before it happens, that's what happened with Iron Man 2 after all.

After a thread dies, it has to be reborn.

That unfortunatelly won't happen. We're be lucky to get the next one late this year.

This.

I think we're used to MCU announcing sequels and shit far in advance, but this time they're playing it cool. Chances are they'll wait until a day before or a day after DD S1 goes up and go 'oh yeah, S2 next year.' If it was one and done, we'd get Bullseye and Elektra without a shadow of a doubt.

 

[DrBo42]

I apologize for my part in what happened to your title, DD fans. This is why you air the pilot in advance.

 

[Quick]

Huh. What the hell happened to the thread title?

 

[Fuu]

Huh. What the hell happened to the thread title?

Changed to stop derailments even though it has the opposite effect.

 

[Slayven]

Huh. What the hell happened to the thread title?

Fanboy wars.

 

[ratcliffja]

I don't know why we have to talk about awful DC shows in here. This thread is specifically for awful Marvel shows.


(I haven't seen either)

 

[glow]

Is the Kingpin even going to get physical? I will be disappointed if he doesn't actually put paws on people.

Problem with him wilding out in this is that Vincent D'Onofrio is nowhere near the right size to be as threatening as the Kingpin we know, it would look kinda silly to see him fight like he can in the comics.

 

[Quick]

There's a part in the trailer where Kingpin headbutts someone hard. Maybe a hint of some action for him later in the season?

That is what stuntpeople and camera tricks are for, I mean Marvel makes RDJ look like he is 6;2"

I don't know...

I doubt he'll be doing all this though.

 

[Escape Goat]

Just another flash?

Wut

 

[Asami208]

In the comics he also was able to fight Captain America to a standstill at one point. I'd be really surprised if he DOESN'T have a physical confrontation with DD at some point.

Have you guys seen this review/teaser from ScreenCrush:

http://screencrush.com/netflix-daredevil-review/

I can't get anymore excited. I can't get anymore excited. I can't get anymore excited. I can't get anymore excited.

That small sense of humanity permeates the series on every level, particularly as its titular hero stumbles through crime-fighting without a billion-dollar murder-suit, or clandestine government agency backing him up. We’ve heard producers talk at length about the evolution of Matt’s ninja duds into that famous red suit, but that small bit of grounding makes every fight sequence seem that much more brutal, even atop stuntwork on par with Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Matt never moves so super-humanly cartoonish as to take us out of the fight, yet still never falls victim to that old stuntwork trope of taking on one bad guy at a time. Every hit follows up with a seamless calculated move to stun the next most immediate threat even a second longer, while Matt himself seems exhausted in momentary respites from the action. One early sequence may yet rival True Detective for sheer choreography across a single take, all with nary a digital effect to be seen.

And if that weren’t enough, Marvel fans espousing Loki as the movie empire’s sole successful villain will eat an Infinity Stone at the unveiling of Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk, every bit the timid child and terrible monster D’Onofrio says in interviews.

 

[Slayven]

We Definitely ain't getting a laser pimp cane.

 

[ratcliffja]

So does Kingpin actually have super powers? It doesn't make sense that he can toss around so many super heroes otherwise.

He started hitting the gym at a young age. And he isn't fat, that is all muscle.

Yeah, I'm really curious to know how it'll all play out.

Just another flash?

Wut

I love that the new title will cause more off-topic posts because of the confusion. :lol

 

[JoeyJungle]

Man, I just watched the teaser for this show and it looks like it might actually be a good TV show and not a guilty pleasure. Really psyched for the 10th.

 

[shaowebb]

 

[richiek]

Kingpin being able to go toe to toe with Spidey is pretty ridiculous.

 

[J10]

Comic Kingpin would get his shit pushed in by Cap in 2015. Cap has been written to be way stronger today than he was back then.

 

[TheStruggler]

loving kingpin in the new trailers, he seems like a bad guy you love to hate, love how he produces the line "a city needs to die before it can be reborn" perfect delivery and tone

 

[glow]

So does Kingpin actually have super powers? It doesn't make sense that he can toss around so many super heroes otherwise.

He's trained in Sumo and Judo (I think) but also its a comic book. Gotta make him a physical threat. His body is pretty much able to withstand anything.

 

[Sou Da]

Marvel's Daredevil |OT|

What is wrong with you people?

 

[Pachimari]

I think the tones might clash too much. Pretty much the only bad thing we've seen from Daredevil so far was the whole "maybe if he had robot suit or magic hammer" line. It was cringeworthy.

I don't understand this mentality at all, and can't seem to see what is so cringe worthy about references like that.

It's the whole reason I like the whole connected MCU, because we get references like this. It's just way too cool.

And why did the OT title change?

 

[JustinBB7]

They've said each one is between 52-58 minutes.

Niccceee. Can't wait.

 

[a secret-boss]

Lol
A week of OT title deliberations and it got changed just like that lol

 

[Slayven]

Yeah so has Spiderman, when SPidey started getting stronger that is when they moved to Fisk to Daredevil.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Man, I just watched the teaser for this show and it looks like it might actually be a good TV show and not a guilty pleasure.

Yep, so nothing like the DC shows on CW.

 

[J10]

We're not supposed to talk about those.

 

[Octavianus]

Ridiculously awesome.

 

[eastx]

What's up with the topic subtitle? Legally blind was way cooler.

 

[iirate]

So does Kingpin actually have super powers? It doesn't make sense that he can toss around so many super heroes otherwise.

He's an abnormally strong guy as translated into the world of super hero comics. His physicality is far too important to leave out of the show(and in a show that features a blind lawyer fighting ninjas in NYC slums, why would they?), but he won't be swinging at Daredevil with a stairwell.

 

[- J - D -]

Welp, the title change might have been my fault. I pushed a snowball down a hill.

It's okay though. The mods are softies they'll change it back in time for the premiere.

We don't. Say. Their names.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Just managed to read a friends' copy of Man Without Fear, and goddamn. The character has such a great origin. Presumably they'll keep

out, but can we assume other aspects from Man Without Fear are in?

more like kingpin is way weaker

I hope they wrap up Kingpin and next season be a straight Handjob
