Not yet announced.
Hadn’t thought of that but it makes more sense.
Oooooo who saw the big bald tailor named Potter? Gladiator right?
Yep. Even had the plans for the wrist-saw-blade weapon on the table where he set down the case with the red suit.
Err… am I the only one who thought they made it pretty damn clear that he IS super powered? When a guy gets hit by radiation juice in a comic book story super powers are pretty much a given, specially when they show him smelling a guys cologne from three floors away and standing on a roof and hearing the whole city. He might not have Cap levels toughness and strength but he was quite obviously not some blind guy who worked out. That’s why i don’t buy the Arrow/Batman comparisons, he is more than training and toys.
He has superhuman senses, though he is technically blind. They never assert that he has superhuman strength or endurance, and he certainly does not in the comics. From Wikipedia:
Just finished episode 4 and I am getting increasingly annoyed with how dark the show is! Not tonally, but that half the time I can barely even see what’s going on! Like when Fisk fights the Russian outside the car and he gets stabbed? Or sliced? Or was he not injured and it just cut his suit? Or was he wearing protective gear underneath? I don’t know, all I saw on the screen was black.
Except, as Stick explains in the comics, “that shit wore off. You got a free ride.” Stick and his crew have the same senses thanks to training. Matt’s went haywire after his exposure but really he’s still got hypersenses because he thinks he’s still got hypersenses. No superpowers.
They show a brief shot of what looks like Kevlar with a steel mesh weave under the material after the cut.
We are not talking about the comic books here, a guy who can smell a guys cologne from three floors away and hear crimes being committed far away while standing on a roof has super powers. Whether being able to get into a brawl with three broken ribs, a stab wound and a concussion and win is super power or Murdock toughness might be up in the air but the rest isn’t.
Excellent show! Fight scenes were epic and the story was good.
Can I just take a moment to say that Marvel has knocked it out of the park with respect to casting in their movie and TV properties? I was just amazed at how good a job they did with casting this show.
Daredevil’s hyper-senses are his ONLY superpower. (Nearly) Everyone in comic book universes has resiliency and quickened healing.
I read a blurb somewhere that Daredevil is supposed to take place after Age of Ultron. Don’t know how true it is. As for Spider-man, I think that Civil War is only a one-off, not him being back in the MCU. I could be wrong, though.
He’s still with Sony, but they’ve worked out a compromise with Marvel about his use in the MCU. In return, Marvel helps Sony get its shit together on the character.
Or something like that.
You are wrong. Marvel Studios is pretty much making the next Spider-Man movie, although most of the money will go to Sony. Basically, Marvel is taking creative control of Spider-Man and he will appear in more MCU movies, probably including Infinity Wars.
We shit a lot on Sony but the spiderman films have been more succesful than any but the top two or three MCU films. They handily beat the Captain America, Thor and Hulk franchises.
Here’s what Variety says:
Man I watched all the episodes DAREDEVIL and didn’t see Spider-man once!
That’s the bunk, man. In the comic they had cross-overs all the time. In Secret Wars, they were hanging out together looking at the Avengers and X-Men going, “Damn, we are way outclassed over here.” They don’t show where Daredevil is thinking, “Bitch, you can pick up full tanker trucks and hunk them at people, don’t even pretend to be down with me just cause you got an apartment in Hell’s Kitchen.”
I don’t see the MCU Daredevil and Spider-Man hanging out much. This particular incarnation of ol’ horn-head doesn’t swing from buildings…
“Welcome to my world.”
