Forums - Movies & TV - Marvel Netflix Universe!(Updated)

Through 4 episodes and have been enjoying it. I like the casting and how the show works within its budget. I actually find the well shot low budget fight scenes (ex: hallway fight) far more entertaining than the rapid edited shaky cam junk I see too often in big budget action films.

I will definitely finish it to see where they take the characters.

Side note: Marvel seems to be killing off characters they don't have the cinematic rights too. Wolverine and now Deadpool have been killed in the comic universe.


Really, how long do you honestly believe that will last?  Eventually someone will find an electron that was connected to an atom of sulfur in one of wolverine's pubes and regrow him from that and death will grow tired of deadpool's shit and throw him back into the world of the living.

I don't think he implying that the characters being killed off will stay dead; we know they won't. However, it is odd they are killing characters they don't own the right to use in their cinematic universe.

Marvel has been doing a lot of things lately that make zero sense. You don't kill off or change your cash cows...oh I meant "characters". I suspect Marvel will shut down sooner or later.

Owned by Disney, the movie side of cashing in won't last. Comics will stay around. Marvel have been bad because they have reached a stale place with unimaginative writers. I mean their current biggest book, Avengers, is writen by Hickman (yes, 'Who?' is the correct response to this), he's no award winner, he is no legendary writer. The story he has write is nonsense and jibberish, you'd think they go more traditional to entice the new crowd arriving with the films but it's so different it's a joke. Marvel have been throwing some of their big guns at the X-men of all things with little success as well.

Maybe it's time Marvel did a DC style 'reset'. You do have to remember that Marvel have near stopped promoting X-men characters, according to Claremont, last year sometime the writers were told not to create any new characters, as they would automatically be available for Fox to use. Many rumoured they have also stopped making toys or any other merchandise. Here is a big hint, the new LEGO Marvel game isn't Marvel 2, no it's Lego Marvel Avengers.



Hmm, pie.

I am convinced that people are talking out of their love of the MCU because no way anyone can find this show "fantastic".

I'm a DC guy. Never really liked Marvel, except for the X-Men and Ironman comics during the 90s.

So yeah, I don't come from a place filled with "love for Marvel/MCU" when I conclude that Daredevil is actually a very good comic book TV adaptation.

I know critics do not carry weight for many, but right now Daredevil is a 97/100 on Rotten Tomatoes.

Point is, it cannot only be Marvel or Daredevil fans that enjoy the show.

Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull has a 78% approval rating. More important is the rating which is 8/10 for Daredevil. By comparison Arrow has 8.6, BB has 9.8 and GoT has 9.
