I figured we could use a thread to discuss everyone's favorite jilted brother/son/champion.
It's my personal hope that Davos has a pseudo Darth Vader arc the first season, wherein he begins as a henchman or subservient figure, perhaps to Meachum, who we learn more about during the season, perhaps leading to a revelation to casual goers to his origin midway. More than anything, however, I want Davos to be emotionally sympathetic, or at least understandable.
As they've already seeded the Steel Serpent, I don't think we can, nor should we at all, discount the drug operation from DD season 1. it makes complete sense for this to be element of his own work, or with a third party such as Madame Gao, outside of the eyes of Harold. I stated previously in another thread that I believe Davos would work best as a man who feels he has no recourse but to fight against the outside world to protect his homeland, and his drug operation can certainly be part of that. If you show that he feels denied his right and his duty to protect his city, you have a fantastic and weird perversion of the kung fu movie trope of the destined protector. The Hero's Journey, denied. A man who didn't want to be evil, but will work the work of monsters to destabilize one world to ensure the safety of his. Make him sympathetic, make him reluctant, make him better. We do not know the exact time line, but theoretically, depending on how long Danny has been away, and the events in which Davos left his homeland occurred before the events of the first season of Daredevil. With this in mind, it is certainly feasible that his journey has already started and hit a point in which it makes perfect sense that he has a power base, which we have clearly seen.
This, to me, leads itself to Davos being the final villain and killed at the end of season one, and should there be a season 2, I would expect and enjoy it to be centered around the Immortal Weapons and a certain tournament. During season 2, you could certainly have the Steel Phoenix emerge, a resurrected Davos, who then embarks on a slight journey of redemption.
Now, per casting, I have no idea. I do believe that he needs to be a very tall and well-built man of Asian descent, who does look physically imposing. I admit to not having a large depth of knowledge in this regard. Ultimately though, the actor must be able to pull off disgraced and disgruntled without being whiny.
