Daredevil Daredevil General Discussion Thread - Part 8

Matt was more vulnerable in the black suit. He took beatings which we knew he was feeling, but he kept on getting back up and fighting. With a suit that lets him take a bullet to the head at point blank range and survive, fight scenes lose their tension.

They needed the upgrade, it's just practical long term. You are really stretching the believability of the show if Matt keeps getting cut up and broken so easily in battles only to keep coming back like "Battlin' Jack", whether you "feel" it or not. You still feel a crowbar or bullet with protection. And he wouldn't get shot in the dome without protection anyway.

Hang on, what are people's gripes with the red suit? Seems perfectly functional, if at least given an in-story explanation as to why he needed to upgrade from the all black outfit to that.

I have nothing against a red suit. I have a problem with the weird black padded red suit.
 
I'm going to guess that there are any number of possible interpretations over what it means that Matt is going back to the old suit. One is that Matt is still in his corner apartment. Another is that maybe Fisk got to Melvin Potter before Matt got the chance.
 
I think this photo from the Instagram page of Vincent D'Onofrio's wife Carin van der Donk could be an unofficial confirmation that Vanessa Marianna is returning for season 3. Considering Ayelet Zurer also reposted it on her own Instagram page...
 
Best news I heard all day!!! :up:

I cannot wait for Daredevil season 3. Can we just skip Luke Cage season to and go right to this? :hehe:
 
I called it and everyone thought I was wrong. I know it's still a rumor but I mean... it's pretty much a given.

I think Bullseye will be in this season. I think that the casting call was for him, despite being a tad out of character... As this is an adaption, the character won't be exactly what's from the comics. Just look at what they did to Elektra. I think it's safe to say there's a chance he'll make an appearance.

I'd love for Matt to almost die at the hands of Bullseye and have Elektra come out of nowhere and kill/take him out.
 
Scoops from on S3 from someone on reddit. Apparently, this person has given out accurate information on Iron Fist, Punisher, and Jessica Jones S2. The scoops talk about Bullseye quite a bit and whether the season hits the ground running.

"currently working on the first episodes of DD3. It starts really slow and introduces too many new characters. the plot could go either way, hard to say at this point. But they do a whole episode about Bullseye’s background and I think its cinematically the best episode out of all of Marvel shows so far. Kingpin gets all the files and tapes about Bullseye and he “walks” through bullseyes memories to look at his life. it is fantastic"
"DD3 is a bit slow and convoluted. It really picks up the pace in the middle and I think the end of the season might turn out great. Bullseye is legit scary. Nobody wears their costume from the comics. DD is more of the same, but again, anything involving Bullseye is a standout. They really nail the fact that he’s deadly from afar."
"can't speak to any deaths, but they are setting up a big fight in a church..."

Cool! :woot::drl::hmr:
 
Thanks for sharing that. Majorly excited for season 3.
 
I like Wilson Bethel's look. To me, he looks like comics Bullseye. I'm holding out hope for some attempt for a comic. Just look to The Dark Knight and the idea of escalation. It can work.

If this story is true, I'm not going to read any more spoilers, though, but I do hope those ones are true.

I'm assuming at this point that Karen is not being killed off. I mean, I just feel that doing so would cheapen the value of Matt's relationships with Karen and Elektra, and make him into an emotionally stunted vigilante who leaves a trail of dead lovers in his wake. Matt already has more than enough manpain to last him through season 3.
 
The Reddit leaker dude has also now decided to ghost himself. He's not happy with how information he sent in private messages got picked up by MCU Exchange and they spun it for their own clickbait purposes. So now he's deleted his account because it's too much attention and obviously he doesn't want to be found out and risk getting fired.

To be fair, I like what he said about the next three upcoming seasons. Luke Cage sounds great and I'm greatly looking forward to it since I'm completely underwhelmed by the current season of AOS and felt like Jessica Jones Season 2 really needed a stronger villain. He also said that Daredevil and Iron Fist will be good as well which is great since I wasn't a fan of the first season of Iron Fist. Shame that we allegedly only get a costume tease at the very end but so long as the fights are good, I'll take it.

Same here. I totally understand why in the show they he needed to upgrade to a suit with more armor and what not, but it's not very pleasing to the eyes at all.
Something a little more red and a little more form fitting please.

REPORT: ‘Daredevil’ Season 3 Star Wilson Bethel To Play Bullseye

https://heroichollywood.com/daredevil-wilson-bethel-bullseye/

Now this is exciting :woot:
 
The bullet to the head in season 2 gave Matt a concussion and messed him up a great deal.
 
The one reservation about Bullseye that I have tends to be that he demonstrates how effective a villain he is by fridging women to the point it's a running gag. Bullseye being the physical manifestation of the Cartwright Curse is a long-lost staple of the character.

That said, I doubt they'll kill off Karen. Karen still has a lot of value to the show. Her backstory still a complete mystery, and she hasn't yet come clean with Matt about killing Wesley. Her connection with Frank was for the most part, well-received on The Punisher. Now that she's in the Ben Urich role, she’s also a proxy for the public-at-large towards whatever Daredevil is doing, and I still believe that Karen and Matt have relationship issues that need to be resolved.

I’m not at liberty to tell which characters are expendable, but I personally believe there are a few other characters who could be killed off with maximum impact, while not disrupting the main trio. In my opinion, there are three characters besides Matt that I believe will be safe: Karen, Foggy, and Marci. I'm more inclined to believe they'll kill off Father Lantom, since he's a minor character that's well-treasured by the audience whenever he pops up, and his role has been greatly diminished as more people in Matt's inner circle have become aware of Matt's identity and taken over the advisor role. They may also/alternately kill Matt's mom, since that's a classic superhero trope. There are some IMDb credits right now for episode 11 for "Panicked Parishioners", suggesting a big fight scene happening in a church, which is where my suspicion that Father Lantom and/or Sister Maggie might bite it comes from.
 
I'm surprised they didn't go for a British actor.

Didn't Colin Farrell play him in the 03 film?
 
Yes indeed he did.

Vincent D'Onofrio has wrapped on season 3. No indication of the other leads having wrapped, but I think we can also expect his criminal lawyer to make a return.

Big Ben Donovan - he's a Luke Cage character from the comics.
