i didn't even like the tv show and i'm excited about this.

Not even Season 2 with the Punisher?


"Only I do the one thing you cant. You hit'em, and they get back up. I hit'em, and they stay down!"

Too much Karen and Foggy, too much Kingpin's tragic love story, too much Matt existential angst, not nearly enough Daredevil doing Daredevilish stuff. The Punny addition was fun but didn't do anything to cut back all of that. By the end I was ff'ing more than watching.

I ack there are budget and production reasons why we can't get 44 minutes of Daredevil punching baddies, it's just what they gave us instead was basic tv soap drama 101 - and borderline completely separate from or irrelevant to Daredevil's story - and however great D'Onofrio is, it just doesn't hold my attention.

I dont disagree with any of that.

I think I enjoyed the Punisher parts enough the other stuff didn’t seem as bad.

Those Netflix marvel shows were weird. They all seemed to start really well and just be quite boring by the end of the season.

Like almost without fail.

Abyss covers the Daredevil stuff well but I always felt Fisk was the best part of the show.

Jessica Jones, similarly, had an incredible bad guy (thank you David Tennant!) but by the second half of the series I was just fed up with how whiny and dark and "edgy" she was. It was grating.

Luke Cage was one of the better ones but again he had a phenomenal bad guy - who they then killed off half way through and the series just got messy.

Iron Fist was just awful. I gave up on that collaborative show (Defenders?) about 2 episodes in and haven't watched any of the others since.

The potential for all of them to be incredible shows was there each time and they all just failed to meet it IMO.

Woof...there's been a few "own goals" by talent in Marvel properties, but saying this shit the damned DAY before your brand new Spider-Man show is about to debut is a WILD one.


Peter Parker voice in the show Hudson Thames says he was afraid the script for YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD SPIDER-MAN was going to be "annoying and woke"...

Like dude, using "woke" in a derogatory manner in an interview? Disney is about to turf your ass. See if you can find Gina Carano and Jonathan Majors and make some film with Ben Shapiro's production company I guess?

Looks cool!

Love the retro vibe.

definitely stuck his foot in it, tho it seems like the show is getting enough pos buzz that he has nothing to worry about.

If you're going to sell me a movie, putting Starship in the trailer as the music is a way to cut directly to my heart....it helps that the movie looks like a blast too.

Could be good, but also could be generic. Hard to tell at this point!

Also, I will flip a table if Galactus is not bright purple.

Same. They're trying so so hard for a GotG vibe and i want them to succeed.
On that point I need to catch up the BLACK WIDOW movie, i think that's the only backstory i'm missing ahead of this.

Yeah, but just be aware that it's not great and could have been an episode of a Marvel TV show instead...but for Yelena and Red Guardian, it's a must watch.

Noted tnx, i even started it once and faded about 15min in.

I enjoyed Brave new world. Entertaining MCU movie with some decent action.

Spoiler

A theme of the movie is that the new cap doesn’t have the super solider serum. He does things and survive things that frankly are not possible for a regular human being. So does his random new side kick.
