Daredevil Daredevil General Discussion Thread - Part 8

Netflix doesn't share how they track these things, unfortunately

Daredevil’s Show-Runner on the Future of the Marvel Netflix Franchise

I read this whole interview. I like this guy a lot. I hope he comes back for season 4 (assuming it gets renewed).

Does anyone know if repeat viewing of a show counts for extra views that benefit a show's stats? If so I will keep rewatching DD.

I’m sure it helps, a little. But if you have social media accounts, follow the show on every site and then tweet and post about it too.

I do find it odd, they expect people to know it’s out and watch it but I haven’t seen any billboards or ads like I did for season 1 and 2.

I saw an ad for it during Sunday Night Football. So they're advertising it elsewhere.

I want actual costumes and full on Bullseye.

Season 3 had actual costumes and the season finale pretty much had a full on Bullseye, and Oleson has said that he wants to continue Bullseye's journey. It was his origin after all. So why don't you want Oleson back again?

Just finished. This season was noticeably better than the last one. It would be a shame for this to get canceled now, I hope Netflix chooses to keep it going.

No it didn't.

 

[DyeLorean]

The only good side if it gets cancelled is that the season ended like a finale could.

 

[Whatupman]

No it didn't.

That's a great point.

 

[TheVileOne]

Yeah that's true, outside of the one tag scene. It sort of like a closed book for all the major characters if this is the note you want to go out on. Sort of like Ripper Street Season 3. Show got cancelled after Season 2, rescued by Amazon and the fans, and then ultimately picked up for another 3. Funny thing is, Season 3 was like the perfect endpoint in terms of giving a "happy ending" of sorts to all the main characters.

I don't see why it wouldn't. After all, the whole point of Netflix is to put out content you watch so you continue watching.

That being said, Netflix has millions of subscribers, so your repeat viewings aren't going to make the difference by itself.

I just mean if fans and GA members know about that they can spread the word so that people know they can use their viewing habits to support what they want. It would be like spreading the word to the population that you can essentially vote if most people didn't know.

Season 3 spoilers

As much as I liked season 3 for the most part and the show as a whole...I'm kinda fine if it gets cancelled.
I'm big on things not going longer than they have to and I feel like Daredevil has said pretty much all it need to.

Of course, there are decades of stories to pull from. But I feel like they've told a complete story of Daredevil in these 4 seasons.
All the characters have been given full arcs, we've gotten appearances by 2 of Daredevil's archenemies...Idk I'd just be cool with it.

Honestly, if you watch DD1, DD2, Defenders, and DD3 you get a full Daredevil story. Other than the very poorly done/corny [BLACKOUT]Bullseye[/BLACKOUT] scene at the end the season 3 finale can function very well as a series finale

Matt started unsure how to balance Daredevil and Matt Murdock's life by the end of season 4 he seems to have found some balance or at the least inner peace with that. And he also found out that friends don't make him weak.
Karen started off as a secret holding assistant and now she's a full blown investigator in her own right with [BLACKOUT]her biggest secrets revealed[/BLACKOUT] (on her own accord)
Foggy was just the shlubby sidekick awkwardly hitting on most women and now he's the self confident, successful lawyer with a beautiful girlfriend.
And they all finally seemed to come to terms with Matt's double life.
As I said they've gotten full arcs.

And now Kingpin is [BLACKOUT]completely done for. Yes he can get out of jail (because comics) and be a criminal, [/BLACKOUT]but still. Bullseye just needs to get his own costume imo. Those are DD's archenemies and he has more foes, but they already got the 2 big ones.

Anyway, I'll be watching if they continue it. But I won't be annoyed or mad if they don't...American Vandal's cancellation ticks me off so damn much even if each season is stand alone

EDIT: Whoa i didn't realize the site changed this much. How do you write spoilers or black out texts

Substitute BLACKOUT with SPOILER.

How lost would I be if I jumped into season 3 having only seen the first and not the second season?

 

[Spider-Fan]

I would at least watch the recap of season 2.

Why would you skip the second season? It has Punisher, Elektra, Stick and even some Fisk.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Well...3 of those 4 are good things

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

 

[Nardz937]

Why would you skip the second season? It has Punisher, Elektra, Stick and even some Fisk.

Because I'm anxious to jump into season 3 after hearing amazing things about it and not-so-much great things about season 2.

I'd definitely get around to season 2 at some point.

 

[Spidey_62]

Because I'm anxious to jump into season 3 after hearing amazing things about it and not-so-much great things about season 2.

I'd definitely get around to season 2 at some point.

I think season 2 starts out really strong with a great Punisher/Daredevil clash of ideologies that anchors it along, like that rooftop conversation in episode 3 is so good, and that conversation between the two of them in episode 4 as the police arrive to take Frank away is top notch performances from both. But as soon as it mostly switches gears to Elektra and the Hand stuff is where most seem to lose interest unfortunately, I like that stuff cause it was like seeing the Miller and Janson comics in live action. Elodie Yung's Elektra performance is pretty underrated imo, especially when you think we got the Jennifer Garner version before, and the chemistry is fun to watch. There's also an episode with Kingpin and the Punisher in prison that is excellent and sets the stage for season 3 quite well, like the prison fight with Punisher is such a brutal and well done fight.

All in all I think season 2 is underrated, it's more unevenly paced than season 1 which I think is where it gets marked down a lot for, along with the Hand not being as well done as Kingpin, but there's lots of fun to be had if Daredevil fighting ninjas and the Punisher is your cup of tea.

But yeah, season 3 is totally rad!

 

[dmcreif]

I don't agree. The Elektra storyline in Miller's run has all the good aspects of a Miller story without all the garbage he started doing in more recent work. This was before his unhealthy infatuation with buildings and writing women as basically porn stars. His writing still had depth in this point in time. There are elements to Elektra I like in the season, but as you said, her story is tied to the larger boringness that is the Hand and their unexplained plot involving a Black Sky. It's not something I can over look.

Definitely true. If they ever do bring Elektra back in season 4 or later, they need to take a different approach with her. They also need her to not be the "sexy and dangerous ex-girlfriend", and not have her trying to isolate Matt from his loved ones, lest they end up with a rehash of the season 2 love triangle that was going on between Matt, Karen and Elektra.

I also think the 2nd half of season 2 of Daredevil becomes guilty of being 2 shows: 1 a backdoor pilot for the Punisher (which DD is only minimally involved) and the other Daredevil/Elektra vs the Hand. Once the show diverges, the show completely writes off the storyline between Matt and Karen in favor of Elektra and Matt, and I don't think the transition is overtly clean. Mainly because Karen has next to no screen time with Matt in the backhalf because she becomes a supporting cast member for Punisher's backdoor pilot. I wish the season had more overall focus.

Agreed. Too much of season 2 was spent on setting up spinoffs rather than on telling a standalone story. (And honestly, I feel like The Defenders' ending kinda hampered Daredevil season 3 since they had to resolve Matt returning from the dead, and I feel like they could've told a much tighter season if they had it where Matt had already returned to his pro bono law career by the time Fisk got out).

 

[dmcreif]

I'm still curious why they delayed production on this until JJ and LC had finished their second seasons. One might have imagined they'd have done DDS3 after the Punisher production so that this could have debuted in March instead of JJ's second season. Considering Daredevil was the most popular one.

My impression is that they wanted to have it where the other shows had all aired their second seasons before starting on the season 3s. They also couldn't start shooting until November 2017 because Charlie Cox was filming some movie in Vancouver.
