I still can't share this opinion. To me it's easy imagining there are vigilantes like Daredevil out there who only have the resources to take care of their little neighborhood while the big guys are out there fighting Thanos. Even watching Iron Man fly by in the sky from Daredevil's point of view wouldn't have taken me out of it.
Now imagine Daredevil chatting it up with Rocket Raccoon.

Wait till sorcery and demons and mystical kung fu is introduced into the same world as alien "gods", talking raccoons, and gritty vigilantes

yeah, I don't know why, but I feel like the CGI in both the Widow/Hulk clip and Hulkbuster fight looks very spotty.
 
Yeah, the wide shot in the middle of that felt weird.

It kind of throws off the whole scene. Marvel does this a lot and it bothers the shit out of me.

The CGI on Hulk when he approaches Widow looks really off.

Shadows. It needs more of them.

You also don't see that she's on a little hill that has a straight drop. So your eyes are expecting Hulk to walk up to her and his body in the frame should get higher as if he was walking up the hill. Since it's cut off it doesn't happen. Throws off your perception of the scene. In short, bad framing.

They spend a few hundred grand building a fancy set for a couple scenes and I guess they feel like they need to get it all on camera.

It's a theme that Marvel has explored in the past in comics, and will definitely be exploring in Cap's next film, so why not?

He probably means to the extent that people on here are nitpicking each combat scenario and questioning whether a civilian was/was not killed. Nothing wrong with the general theme, but it becomes obnoxious when people bicker about DC/Marvel death counts.

I wouldn't say that. He's acting like a wild animal, and Black Widow is interacting with him very apprehensively.

Pretty sure anyone would be apprehensive interacting with a Hulk like creature, even if you know it can control itself. It's like pointing an unloaded gun to someones head and still flinching when someone presses the trigger.
 
The CG did seem off to me, and I usually don't care about things like that. I watched it again on my 60inch in 1080P and it isn't as jarring. I'm sure on the movie/IMAX screen it won't even be a thing.

I was referring to the 90 second clip. But yes the CGI in that Hulk/Widow clip is "off".

Yeah I just don't see how people can't see these things are sums of a whole. And they are better for it.

The issue is Daredevil is vastly different in terms of tone and presentation. The MCU is bright, dances around the atrocities commited, and has this "fun" (what every one calls it) feel about it. It's hard to see Daredevil in the same scene as Hulk or someone because it's like putting Hannibal in the same scene as Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

It's also annoying because:

A. If this were the comics, then people wouldn't be batting an eyelash.

B. This whole "collateral damage" thing didn't become a big topic of conversation until Man of Steel came out. And it was annoying their because people kept bashing the film using "talking points" that proved that they either hadn't actually seen the movie, or weren't paying attention.

Also, I don't seem to recall their being a big stink about "collateral damage" in TWS. How many people died or were maimed when all that debris/wreckage crashed into Washington DC do you think? Yet was there a huge outcry from the fanbase, NO!!

But we know that. They are tonally very different, but that doesn't make it any harder to imagine that Matt and Rocket are in the same universe.

I don't think you're understanding what you're saying. An equivalent is if Hannibal is in My Little Pony: one doesn't dance around the brutality while the does. It would be jarring seeing Daredevil not be in brutal scenes like it would be jarring seeing Captain America in brutal scenes IE he smooshes someone's head with the shield--you just won't see that, that's why it's very difficult putting these characters together.

You can envision any character in the same universe but when you put them side to side and how they're represented you just know there's something wrong.

Exactly this, I also want to point out the superman vs zod final fight, its like, how can 2 people with that equal powerset possibly not level a city? Because this isnt DBZ where superman was gonna lead him to a wasteland or something, they were gonna fight in the city whether supes wanted to or not.

I know what you're saying. I'm just saying it wouldn't be jarring to me. And I really don't think it would be difficult for Marvel to put them together.

I could totally imagine Daredevil drinking the eel with Rocket in a bar in Hell's Kitchen. Iron Man flying by up in the skies. Or even Daredevil fighting alongside Captain America on the streets of Civil War.

Yeah, the visual tones are different but it's not hard to blend them together.

It is actually hard to blend them together. One is more brutal than the other. You don't just up and make Captain America crush skulls and what not. You allude to that in the MCU. You never show brutality as it makes the movie tonally different. Daredevil set it's tone to brutal, having him in quirk land will have people saying, "This isn't as bloody as the TV show even though it's the same universe and character, what gives?" It is a legitimate criticism.

If you can envision Daredevil hanging out with these guys at bars or fighting in Civil War then I don't believe you truly understand the differences between the tv show and the MCU.
