Daredevil Daredevil General Discussion Thread - Part 1

[Lilbaz]

The yellow costume? oh we might see it, like one of the suit's he'll try out in front of some he trusts & that someone tells him it's a bad idea or it'll be as costume he wears when he's trying to take out the "Circus of crime" that Hawk Eye was linked to before becoming a Hero. Since he had a whip as weapon at one point and all and some circus's have dare devils as part of their entertainers.

Or maybe he wears a yellow one not knowing the colour? Could even take the piss out of his blindness.

Mugger - What the hell are you?
DD - I'm Daredevil, your worst nightmare!
Mugger - Since when are Devils Yellow?
DD - What?

Could even have the store owner where he buys talking to his assistant saying they'll never sell a yellow devils costume. Then in walks Matt.

Why would someone have made one in the first place and sell it commercially in a store if they know it can't sell?

People have crap they can't sell all the time. It's why so many businesses fail. If he was that much of a business man he wouldn't be in a run down costume shop in Hellskitchen. He'd have moved out ages ago and opened a Pooch Cosmetics Parlour in Manhattan and shaved that dodgy moustache. He certainly wouldn't have settled for that battleax of a wife that moans at him all day about her arthritis and how she should have married that young doctor when she had the chance.

So the older guy in the second interview is the owl?

So the older guy in the second interview is the owl?

Yep. Don't know who the young guy next to him is though.

 

[Gr0oT]

He's the prison director in ShawShank Redemption, great at being contemptible.

 

[Broseph44]

So how is this show going to work? Are they doing it like House of Cards and releasing the entire season at once, or are they going week-by-week?

Netflix series are released all at once in one shot, one day.

I wonder what will inspire Matt to call himself Daredevil. The original yellow costume was more of a circus daredevil inspired by those who do daring feats. Will he take his name from that or will he go more with a devil inspiration? And why would he do that anyway? I can understand the imagery for Batman but what will be his motivation in this series?

well in the fox TAS & most people that read the comic's know this, it was his nick name after the accident cause he was running through roof tops practicing with stick or by himself and he was raised by a priest after his old ma was killed in an alley way. (since that town old Irish religious types there, with Italians and others besides that, but since it was mostly the Irish types. ) I bet the word "Devil" was over used often like "what the Devil were you thinking or doing " you'll be surprised how often that word was used in phrase by a lot of older people that weren't born in the latter 70's, 80's, 90's & 2000's. some how that word was overly used with him.

for a while they even had character like spidey cyclops & havok talk like that even though they were represented as younger then those writers that made them say that. thus it it didn't fit their age group xviers ad banshee yes not theirs,

 

[king666]

The mask reminds me of Iron Fist.

 

[Mike Murdock]

This is ok, I guess, but I don't see the reason in making this one of the first official images. If this isn't going to be the look for at least the first season.

It's also called going slow on the publicity to keep interest longer. It's a long time between now and May. They want to keep interest during that time without revealing too much of the season before you watch it.

Well, it was his childhood nickname (used ironically then, now he's ironically appropriating it to use it non-ironically). Or, uh, something like that.

 

[BETArayBill]

Man I was hoping to hear some bullseye news but I get the feeling they might be saving him for the defenders.

 

[zenith16]

see like I said it was his nick name . I knows my comic's .

 

[Lilbaz]

I know that we haven't had an announcement of casting yet. But I wonder if we will get a small cameo in the series of Jessica Jones or Luke Cage? They wouldn't even have to let you know they could just be walking past in the street or having coffee at the next table in a cafe or something.

Doesn't matter but would be a nice little easter egg.

 

[zenith16]

How do you know that dude next to the bald man i n the youtube video I put up isn't him ? huh?

yeah just wait maybe it's him , maybe it's not. we'll have to find out. Just hope he does a better job then the other famous actor that had accent but couldn't be bothered to do a American one when he's done it for other movies prior. Man that was weird.

 

[Mike Murdock]

I hope Bullseye isn't bald.

 

[Lilbaz]

I hope Bullseye isn't bald.

Why?

 

[zenith16]

Why?

Cause when Collin farrell did it he came off as a Junky goon to most of us DD and overall comic fans which he shouldn't have had given a hard time to DD or Electra sice it look like all you had to do was push him with one hand looki at him and he's a good actor, but the performance was so off .

BTW I do shave my self bald too at times but I am brotha. I fit the LL cool J & will Smith and Luke cage look. lol meh forget that part . The performance was messed up.

But it doesn't mean that if another actor playing the part happens to be bald. He'd be the same as Farrell. Not having a dig, just was curious.

others just don't want to be reminded of it . besides Bulls eye wasn't bald back then.

Man I really wish they had waited for Damon to finish up with the Borne movie & they had actually made a bullseye suit similar to DD that he wear on occasion out of the public eye, & had Afflect play bullseye since they both read the books as kids. But that's what impatience does. that director really messed up. Oh well it is what it is.

On the bright side, it's back with Marvel and we got a tv series out of it.

 

[zenith16]

we'll see how it does DD needs the Exposer & his own version of Arkham with games it's way over due with him. Should have happened when the Fox X-men & spider TAS happened IMO.

I think that would have worked for him but it never came to minds to the people at marvel for some weird reason. that was a good time to itro duce him after the guest spot with spidey too.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Why?

Because it'll confirm that they aren't giving him the look of the new series or how he appeared in Hardcore (or in the previous movie) and would be suggesting instead that they're giving him his iconic look. Some characters I fully support ditching the costume. Bullseye isn't one of them. He embraces the absurdity. No one would suggest having Loki wearing a leather trench coat and sporting a tattoo and call it a day.

Now I really don't have a problem with them casting a bald guy because, if you give him a costume, you won't be able to tell if he has hair or not anyway, but it would confirm long before they show any footage whether he's likely to wear the costume.

I'd like him to wear the costume. They can make it look "realistic" if they need to. Black combat gear and a mask with a bullseye on it. He's an assassin, he doesn't want to be recognised but at the same time wants recognition (if you know what I mean).

 

[Mike Murdock]

That's fine. Although, and I used to be willing to drop this item, I realized I really like the white gloves. There's a certain dainty elegance with them. It causes you to focus on them and the objects he'll hold in them (which he'll then use to kill you because everything in his hands is a deadly weapon).

I could live with white gloves.

Will wait till the costume comes out before I make a decision though.
