Daredevil Daredevil General Discussion Thread - Part 6

[ernesth100]

I assumed you'd know that was a joke. It did take him pretty long to knock them out. But ofcourse it did. In real life fights dont end with one punch. Especially not when someone breaks into your job. Daredevil is an intruder. They're gonna fight with all they got just like he did. Not to mention he was hurt so his jits might not have been at full strength. But still if someone breaks into your house and punches you. Your not just gonna automatically stay down. Your gonna get back up and defend the damn place until you have no more energy to do so. In this case thats what the thugs DD was fighting did.

 

[cryptic name]

DD confirmed to be even more unrealistically skilled at fighting and unrealistically resistant to pain than he was in the first season. Watch in Season 2 Matt takes on Elektra, Punisher and 100 foot ninjas, with skills like Nobu and Iron Fist got drunk and had a baby, at once with his arms tied behind his back and a gigantic clone of Kingpin with heat vision. In a cramped staircase. Notice I said Matt and not Daredevil because he not only does it with his hands tied behind his back but he doesn't have his armored costume on or weapons. So the stakes are even higher if he gets stabbed or shot. But it don't matter cause his sense of pain is still relatively miniscule. So even after being shot and stabbed 16 times he'll go find a phone and call Claire. While he sit's down and eats some Cheetos and watches the entire first season of his and Jessica Jones show while waiting for her to come over and fix him up. He's also wearing ear plugs and nose plugs restricting his two most useful senses. And he relies on his taste to somehow know where to kick. And kicks hard enough to knock everyone out in one hit.

Then just when you think you're suspension of disbelief is strained to the max. You realize that's just the first two episodes. He's fully healed by the end of the second and back out fighting and has trouble fully geared up at full health, with a common purse snatcher. Trust me, it'll be incredible.

Uh huh.

Lol anybody actually see the hallway fight scene from Old Boy? It was a middle-aged man with a hammer fighting off about 20 guys armed with actual weapons.

It made the DD hallway scene look almost documentary level in comparison.

 

[Silvermoon]

Hmm. Usually we get some news about what's coming up.

Only thing I can find on Amazon UK in relation to the show is a ''Marvel's Daredevil: Season One'' hardcover art book, and that's not out until June.

I thought that had been pulled from release

I watched it on yourube. He took on like 10 other guys in a cramped elevator too.

 

[gohei_]

Maybe they took inspiration from the awesome scene from the Tony Jaa movie The Protector this time, with Matt in peak condition instead of almost beaten to death.

 

[ernesth100]

I have no idea what that os

 

[doink]

The rumors are stemming from the fact that (what it boils down to) Charlie simply doesn't know anything at this point... and he might not know for a while. Heck, Daredevil might not even *appear* in IW. The script is still being written, the Russos are still working on what characters they need/want. I think people are blowing Charlie's innocent (and given the manner he said it, kind of joking) comments out of proportion.

Yeah, it's simply that Charlie doesn't know what MS's plans are for IW and if they will have Daredevil in it or not. The recasting thing was a joke...and Feige complimented the DD actors in particular last fall when talking about how there will eventually be TV references in the films. So if they do decide to have Daredevil in IW or any other movie in the future I'm sure they won't recast.

Unless the Daredevil appearance in IW is like a 50-sec wordless cameo of him fighting some aliens in the background...even then...XD

 

[The Overlord]

I don't know about unrealistically skilled at fighting. One, he was trained by a blind superninja, so he should be very good at fighting. Second, far and away the bigger complaint of that scene was that it took him so long to knock them out. People (not me) felt he should have knocked them out in one punch. There were literally pages debating this issue.

Yeah, that's silly, DD doesn't have super strength, it should it take more then one punch to knock out a guy, I liked that fight because it felt like a realistic fight.

Exactly, if that was true all boxing matches would be a lot shorter. People have just been spoiled by all the action films were character plow through henchman like their made of paper.

Charlie Cox has a contract to appear in a Marvel movie the last I knew. So I highly doubt they would recast the character. I think most of us that enjoy the continuity the MCU has would agree we'd much rather NOT have him appear in IW rather than recasting the character like that. Although I wasn't extremely upset about the Edward Norton/Mark Ruffalo and Terrance Howard/Don Cheadle recast, you still like to keep things on a consistent level.

Especially as Cox was perfect as Matt Murdock/Daredevil. I can't see anyone else in the role now.

 

[ernesth100]

Oh yeah recastng would be a big mistake.

 

[TheVileOne]

Marvel's not above recasting characters though. Hulk and Rhodey have already been recast.

It's inevitable that the main stars will be recast at some point.

Very true. But those were due to other circumstances. Norton and Marvel had conflict over TIH's story/cut; while Howard was replaced due to money/contract issues. Howard said Marvel took the money he was to make and gave it to RDJ and asked him to take less money.

So if Marvel recast Cox, to me, it would look childish and petty between Marvel TV and Marvel movies.

True, but that doesn't mean they'd seek to recast.

Guys guys guys and girls there's only one thing to do. Enjoy Daredevil Season 2 and the other Netflix adaptions until IW rolls around and see where they go from there. Because simply discussing will only be a back and forth thing for years until that film rolls around.

 

[Bruce Malone]

I could barely care if Charlie appears in IW as long as the series keeps up the great quality it does.

Frankly, I'm not a fan of how interviewers seem to be insinuating he's on the "B-Side" of Marvel entertainment by asking him if he's going to show up on the big screen as if that should be the goal.

The MCU Netflix series are superior in quality to almost all the MCU films imo.

 

[cytokine]

I'd actually be surprised if they brought in any of the Defenders for the MCU films. They're so different in tone and style, I'm not sure how they'd fit together.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Well if we apply the logic they used when selecting characters for the latest lego avengers games, they chose to add in all of the Netflix heroes but didn't animate them with their mcu costumes because its a family game and the content their respective series feature is all far from family friendly. So i take it they'd do the same for the movies, not to say they can't reference them by name or something. But they run a risk by showing them crossing over from their mature content into more family friendly content.

 

[Bruce Malone]

Lol I can only imagine some families going to check out this Jessica Jones show after seeing her appear in the Avengers movie and abruptly shutting it off 1/3 of the way through the first episode haha.

 

[pixen]

Honestly, if Daredevil shows up in Avengers: Infinity War, what is he going to even do to Thanos? I get it has happened in the comics but both him and the rest of the Netflix Marvel characters. Along with Jessica and Luke, they are pretty limited compared to Thor, Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, Hulk and Captain America. Don't get me wrong, they are strong characters, but they don't quite have the power that those other characters do.

 

[Bruce Malone]

Unless they is strong confirmation it will happen, I think we should just operate under the assumption the shows and movies won't mix directly.

From what I've seen so far from the shows that is not a problem.

 

[pixen]

I'm hoping that is the case. I like the distinction between the two. The Netflix series benefit from the smaller, grittier world they have going for them right now.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

As long as the TV shows continue to mention the events of the movies, I'm fine with them not appearing in Infinity War. No need to get myself hyped up for something that's most likely not gonna happen.
