Flawless scene...

https://motionstatereview.files.word...2&h=372&crop=1

I dig this show and look forward to the next season.
as a kid I thought daredevil was aight. but I certainly don't remember him getting his ass handed to him every other fight. anyone else thinking....damn he's getting his ass beat...AGAIN! I guess that's the one gripe I have.

The two friends were annoying as shit, especially when they get emo for him not telling them his secret :facepalm:. Too much screen time for those characters.

Daredevil: Year One

actually red doesn't know but foggy does....and he was SUCH A BITCH!
my wife watched a few episodes and I had to explain to her why he was being such a snatch. she cracked up like....REALLY!

dude...if my best friend popped the news that he was a flipping super hero....righteous! foggy acting that way really is the stupidest plot line in this whole thing. just dumb. dudes don't act that way. we would immediately be trying to figure out how to use HIS secret powers to somehow benefit US! :LOL:

but you're forgetting the news was painting Daredevil out as a terrorist and even Foggy was referencing him as a terrorist when they were talking about him ...

would you think it was 'righteous!' if you found out your best friend was a terrorist?

Holy Shit...

Binged this one quickly... It was good, but I did like Arrow more. Hard to buy into this blind guy simultaneously sensing all these things around him the way that he does. Will definitely keep up with it.

Like the casting...hope this leads to a punisher spinoff

That should be bad a$$.

That's a damn good casting IMO. Interesting that they're throwing him in the Daredevil series. Were they connected in the comics?

Wow. That could be really, really good.

Yes. They are both Marvel Knights characters and both took risks other Marvel characters rarely took as far as dark subject matter and gray morals. (Punisher more than Daredevil, of course)

Also, they both work in New York so they run into each other a fair amount. I'm not a total expert, but in the things I read, Daredevil always seemed to tolerate Castle more than the other brighter, cleaner superheroes, even when they were at odds. They worked together here and there, which is significant because they are both loners.

I'm super excited about him entering for Daredevil season 2. Given the tone of season one, it's a perfect venue for Punisher to enter the MCU. Love the casting as well. This is gonna be good.

Also Kingpin is pretty much both characters' main antagonist. For Daredevil there's also Bullseye and for Frank obviously there's Jigsaw.

The "spinoffs" are already in place and I don't think will include Punisher on his own. The Punisher is pretty much the only comic book series I read religiously as a kid but I share those sentiments that he might be a bit too anti-hero to carry his own series. We'll just have to see.

As far as the other Netflix Marvel series go:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Jones_(TV_series)

Marvel's Jessica Jones[edit]
Main article: Jessica Jones (TV series)
Former superhero Jessica Jones, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, opens her own detective agency to help people, including other superheroes.

In November 2013, Melissa Rosenberg was announced to write and executive produce the series. In March 2014, Loeb stated that Jessica Jones would begin filming after Daredevil. In December 2014, Krysten Ritter was cast as Jessica Jones in the series, officially titled Marvel's Jessica Jones. Filming began in New York City in February 2015.The series is set to premiere in 2015.

In December 2014, Mike Colter was cast as Luke Cage,a recurring role in the series before headlining his own series.

Marvel's Luke Cage

Luke Cage is an ex-con with superhuman strength and unbreakable skin who fights crime on the streets of Hell's Kitchen.

Mike Colter will star as Luke Cage in his own series, titled Marvel's Luke Cage. In March 2014, Loeb stated that the series would begin filming after Iron Fist, being the fourth of the individual series. By March 2015, it was instead slated to be the third of the individual series, beginning production after Jessica Jones. Also in the month, Cheo Hodari Coker was announced as showrunner and executive producer of the series. The series is set to premiere in 2016.

Marvel's Iron Fist

Danny Rand is a martial arts expert, and the superhero Iron Fist.

In March 2014, Loeb initially stated that the Iron Fist series would begin filming after Jessica Jones as the third of the individual series. By March 2015, it was expected to be the fourth of the individual series, entering production following Luke Cage. In April 2015, the title of the series was revealed to be Marvel's Iron Fist.

Marvel's The Defenders

The superheroes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist team-up in New York City.

The Defenders will see Cox, Ritter, and Colter reprising their roles as Matt Murdock / Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, respectively, from previous television series. In March 2014, Loeb stated that the miniseries, officially titled Marvel's The Defenders, would begin filming after all of the individual series.

They fight much more then they team up really. Daredevil has the no killing policy, The Punisher does not.

Basically, Punisher is Daredevil if Daredevil gave in to his 'demons'.

For sure. I just always got the impression Daredevil saw him as misguided while most of the rest of the Marvel heroes see him as a psychopath.

Through the 90's there was an interesting play between Spidey/DD/Punisher.

On one extreme was spidey, the other Punisher, and DD was somewhere in the middle as they all visited each other's books.

And another thing to consider is that JJ is the only character that isn't "TV friendly." By that I mean it would be really easy for Cage, Puisher, DD, Iron fist, etc. to show up in Agents of SHIELD or another show because the big CGI costs aren't there like Hulk or Thor.

SHIELD could go on a mission to capture some arms dealer and there's that crazzy a$$hole Punisher again, killing everyone and ruining the operation.

Heck, SHIELD just teasing a cameo by saying "known enhanced in the area are..." and then you're on the edge of your seat waiting to see if any of them show up.

Marvel broke new ground with a whole cinematic universe building up to Avengers and they might pull off the same thing with "TV."

I wonder if they'll make Bernthal slightly ( premature)greyed like he's been through some hardcore shit like Mel Gibson's Mad Max in the Road Warrior.

Depends on where they go with it.

I doubt they keep Punisher a 'Nam vet. It'll probably be updated to Gulf War because they're not going to have him be in his late 50's or 60's.

I think he's got the right look though and he's got that crazy intensity down...

http://imageserver.moviepilot.com/pu...280&height=960

If they do the vet thing at all, it'll be Iraq/Afghanistan, but I think they'll avoid the topic altogether so they don't wade into a PTSD/Veteran Care issue.

Of course, maybe that's the whole plan, which would be disappointing.

No. The Punisher will never be a poster boy for PTSD caused from combat. That was NEVER Frank Castle's issue.

Frank Castle's issues stem from seeing his family murdered in front of him, and then he himself is nearly killed along with them.

He lived. They didn't. He has a large amount of self loathing toward himself for that, and contemplates suicide on more than one occaision before turning his loathing and aggression toward the criminal scum of the earth.

Frank Castle's combat veteran background simply served as a storytelling tool to explain how it is that Castle is so deadly with so many different weapons, hand to hand combat, demolition, and tactics.

There's not going to be any "He was a veteran lets all feel sorry for him" bullshit.

No ****ing way.


Love the Bernthal casting for Frank Castle. This dude is going to knock that role out of the ****ing park. Well, as long as his director can keep that head rubbing shit that he does to a minimum, and work around those scenes where his face looks as if he's trying to hold back a wet fart.

This is how I felt but I still enjoyed it.

Very excited about introducing the Punisher.

So I finally got around to watching it. My thoughts in no particular order:

Charlie Cox was perfect casting
The guy playing Foggy is terribad
What's the point of Rosario Dawson's character?
Vincent d'onofrio is perfect casting
The entire subplot with Wilson fisk' s girlfriend almost derailed the series
Foggy' s whiny-ass reaction to Murdock' s secret identity almost killed the series
It's like they can't decide what to do with Deborah Ann Woll as a love interest

All in all I liked it a lot but there's plenty of room for improvement.

I haven't finished it but these seem like good observations.

The fighting is so good that I typically don't care about these idiot side characters.

Stick was good, especially the one on one fight at the end of his episode.

Well I certainly hope not. Just saying I could see it. Marvel is handling everything so well there is a part of me that can't believe they can keep it up. "They have to blow it sometime."

I agree with pretty much all of this. I was cool with Rosario, since she offered him a sounding board and some sort of explanation for how he could survive the brutal beatings he kept taking. (The fact that she's insanely attractive didn't hurt.)

I'm also fine with the lack of commitment to Karen Page as a love interest. No need to rush that story, IMO.

Otherwise you summed up pretty much all of my criticisms of the first season.

I agree. Although I like the addition of Dawson. It's the kind of relationship that makes sense for the character and she's hot.

Oh, no wonder.... Elastic did the title sequence of this show. Same crew that produced True Detective and Game of Thrones.

Best in the game right now...

http://www.elastic.tv/

Dare I say "political correctness"?

The spin-off series' on Netflix are focused on a Jessica Jones (woman), Luke Cage (a black character), and Iron Fist (rumored to be cast as an Asian actor)...

I'm actually excited about the diversity but I want them to pull it off in a good way. Hopefully it doesn't get overly cheesy but based on the people involved I think they can do it right.

I want them to acknowledge each of the characters' gender and race not as an overly good or bad thing. It can be done, I'm quite sure of it.

I would agree with most of this, except Mrs. Fisk. I loved meeting Kingpin's weakness. It's always the good guys that are vulnerable through their relationships. Nice to see it go the other way. I think there is a lot of potential with some Castle v Mrs. Fisk next year, and Kingpin losing his shit. That and I liked the actress.

I couldn't agree more with Foggy. Crappy character and actor. Page got awesome at the end. Looking forward to more of her (although she was annoying early).

Loving this show. Really looking forward to seeing Punisher next season!

So for major antagonists for next season we have thusly.

For Sure:
The Punisher/Frank Castle

Probable due to set up from Season 1:
Gladiator
The Owl
More Hand ninjas (possibly Kirigi)

Mentioned:
Elektra

Not Mentioned but DD villains:
Bullseye
Typhoid Mary
Mr. Fear
Mr. Hyde
The Enforcers
Machinesmith
Paladin
Silvermane
Stilt-Man(complete jobber)

Unlikely due to Sony:
Electro
Mysterio

Not likely due to timeline:
The Rose/Blood Rose

Agents of Shield spoiler ahead...

There is speculation that the rooftop sniper was actually Bullseye, a claim bolstered by the fact that he had a playing card visible in his bag. And Jason Statham was, until recently, up for the role, which seems to indicate that Bullseye will certainly be there for Season 2, albeit with a different actor.

I've also seen articles mentioning Mr. Fear and Mysterio, and Purple Man is going to be the villain in the Jessica Jones story (played by David Tennant). The only other villain I can think of is the Jester, and I would expect to see him right about the same time as we see Stilt-Man; maybe later.

Strange casting there. I love Tennant but Purple Man is a dark character.

That whole storyline is dark as hell with JJ. It almost has to be done on Netflix/HBO...

http://www.flickeringmyth.com/wp-con...an-600x600.jpg

Not sure if they are going to make his skin purple too.

That's why I like these on Netflix (or at least the prospect of what they could be)

Comic books in general are really extremely dark. Most people think that most are for kids and as everyone here in this thread will agree that surely isn't the case.

I find most of the PG-13 "Avengers" style big screen movies unwatchable due to their limited development of the characters and this is mostly attributed to the kiddy story telling.

Season 2 said to be "Daredevil vs Punisher".

(Spoiler tagged cuz autoplay...)

I am sure Frank is going to be a special forces vet with experience in Iraq/Afghanistan. Since, they talk about Daredevils demon so much in season 1, I think the major theme of season 2 is how much not giving in to the demon humanizes DD in comparison to the remorseless seemingly emotionless force of nature Punisher.

I bet half of the season most of Castle's "work" is offscreened and DD witnesses the aftermath and of course gets some of the blame when dead bodies start to mount up.

Say hello to Elektra:

http://images.desimartini.com/media/..._yung_pics.jpg

(aka Elodie Yung)

Well, she's not attractive or anything

:wayne:

Hopefully Franks kills Daredevil and the show turns into "Punisher".

Lisbeth's lover? Nice.

34 years old. Good choice

Elodie Yung (“G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” “District 13: Ultimatum”) joins the next season of “Marvel’s Daredevil,” streaming only on Netflix in 2016!

Yung will play Elektra, a mysterious woman from Matt Murdock’s past whose dangerous and exotic ways may be more than he can handle. The first season of “Marvel’s Daredevil” made reference to Elektra, but now Yung will portray one of Daredevil's fan-favorite characters. Elektra marks the most recent major addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as she will join Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle in the upcoming season of the Netflix Original Series “Marvel’s Daredevil.”

“After a worldwide search, we found in Elodie the perfect actress to embody both Elektra’s impressive and deadly physicality, as well as her psychological complexity,” said Executive Producer and Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. “Paired with Charlie as Matt Murdock, the two will bring one of the most beloved and tumultuous comic book relationships to life with all the accompanying sparks and spectacular action sequences the show is known for.”

“Marvel's Daredevil” is Executive Produced by Doug Petrie (“American Horror Story,” “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”), Marco Ramirez (“Marvel’s Daredevil,” “DaVinci’s Demons”) and Drew Goddard ("Cabin in the Woods," "Lost"), along with Marvel TV's Jeph Loeb ("Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "Marvel’s Jessica Jones.”)

"Marvel's Daredevil" is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios. Season one of “Marvel’s Daredevil” is now streaming on Netflix.

Blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) fights against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the Super Hero “Daredevil” in modern day Hell's Kitchen, New York City. "Marvel's Daredevil" stars Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Jon Bernthal, and Rosario Dawson.

Small teaser for Season 2:

I really like the preacher character in the series. He offers a great sounding board for scenes that replace internal dialogue.

I'm ready. Let's ****ing go.

March 18th.

Awesome.

In case anyone needs to be reminded how perfect the Punisher's casting was.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Gs7O1vSBFC8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Also, Fury.

Without reading this thread; just started watching this. I've made it through I think the first 10 episodes so I've got another 3-4 left in season 1. Great series. I'm thoroughly enjoying every episode & looking forward to season 2.

They get better.

I've been looking for a vid on who all the people are in the mural but haven't found one yet.

I'm not that familiar with the DD universe so I'm not even going to try...

Poster of the mural. Go Punisher! :D

Your trailer broke the thread

Replaced. Sorry 'bout that.

Really looking forward to this season.

I'm actually off from work on Friday - complete coincidence - looking forward to binging the whole new season. Just starting episode 5 in my season 1 rewatch.

Show is so good...

Gotta say this seems kind of lame after last season's choreography, but it's only one scene...

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4E9h5EwumiQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rMD9L3mdqqM?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Just started episode 5. Not going to spoil anything, obviously...

Season structure is a little different in that rather than having all standalone eposodes the first four formed their own story arc that will I assume be unified within the season-long arc. Very...comic book in structure, for lack of a better way of putting it. Charlie Cox is still great. Foggy is still annoying but less so. DAW is somehow even cuter as Karen. Bernthal pretty much nailed Punisher. I want to have Elodie Yung's children. Writing/story still great. Fight scenes still great. Not much in the way of complaints so far.

On episode 12 now, won't finish them all today but even so I would say the back half of the season is amazing.

Damn, son. You've been grinding! I watched two episodes this morning. I'll probably dabble in it some more tomorrow. Don't have any more time this evening.

Keg doin work.

Good to know it whips ass.

Last few eps were so good I couldn't stop. Work's gonna suck in the morning.

Finale was almost perfect. Even better end than season 1 IMO.

I'm trying to remember the last time I watched 12+ straight hours of anything...

Nice, dude. I'm excited about it. The outlaws are in town so I can't get started on it.

oh MAN! on season 2 ep 2.
Punisher at the pawn shop.....I just fell head over heals in love with him!

http://www.addacover.com/media/cover...hand-heart.jpg

gawd this is good.....

Keg is 100% correct. Season 2 was at least as good as season 1. At first before the season I didn't know how they were going to use Punisher here but they wove him into the story very well.

Bernthal was the Punisher. I hope that Netflix sees the potential and does a spin off.

The ending was very well made and makes you want to see the next season already. I would recommend that you watch the first season just to be caught up if you haven't seen Daredevil before.

Highly recommend binge watching. Keg was right also on the last few episodes. I thought to myself "gee it is the end of episode 9....I can go to bed after 10" Yea that didn't happen.

Just finished episode 10, good stuff so far. The first four episodes were chalk full of awesome, drags a little bit in the middle of the season and now it's coming back around. I loved episode 3 when Daredevil and Punisher have their back and forths, really great dialogue and I love the casting of Jon Berenthal.

Luke Cage trailer pops up on NetFlix when you finish season two of Dare Devil:
