I really liked this trailer for NBC’s upcoming Heroes Reborn, despite that fact that it felt very familiar (especially if you’ve seen Netflix’s Daredevil or Sense8). That being said, the series that inspired it was really cutting edge at the time, though through a combination of a writers strike, bad timing and–in my opinion–bad writing […]
“Watch If Just So You Can Say You Do Did (Or You Really Like Bill Burr). Other Than That, I’ve Got Nothin.’” Bill Burr! Bill Burr is one of the first people you see when Zombeavers starts, and maybe it’s just that he’s not too discriminating about the roles he chooses, but I was genuinely happy to […]
Heck, at least it’s not Daredevil;)
I have learned reading various blogs that most people love Netflix’s interpretation of Daredevil, though they aren’t too crazy about the fact that his suit isn’t closer to the one that appears in the comics. And that’s perfectly valid, though think about it for a moment: If the Netflix series was aiming for anything, it was realism. Sure, a heightened realism, […]
When I saw the Daredevil hallway fight scene–from the Netflix series not the 2003 movie–I was amazed at how fluid the action was, though once I got over my shock, I realized that I have seen it, in a sense, before. Here’s the fight scene from Oldboy, which also takes place in a corridor. […]
At this point you’d probably think that I’ve had a enough of Marvel’s Daredevil after my marathon session ended sometime around midnight yesterday. Well, you’d be wrong! I’ve already started re-watching it, though this time I think I’l do so in a slightly more leisurely fashion, with an emphasis on tracking down any Easter eggs […]
This episode we meet Stick (Scott Glenn) in flashback–he’s the man who taught Matt Murdock/Daredevil his formidable fighting skills–and in the modern day. He’s in New York to attempt to enlist Matt’s aid in stopping Nobu (Peter Shinkoda), the right hand of Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho) from bringing a mysterious shipment, known only as Black Sky, into […]
In an enclosed space, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) can not only taste copper in the air, a useful talent if there’s someone is bleeding nearby, but can also hear the sound a person’s bones make when they are shifting when broke. That’s not a superpower in the same neighborhood as flight or super-strength, but it’s […]
This is the episode where Clare Temple (Rosario Dawson) suggests to Daredevil (Matt Murdock) that he needs some sort of body armor–since she’s once again patching him up after a night fighting crime though I feel reasonably certain the idea had occurred to him prior–which means that the red costume should be making an appearance soon. […]
We meet Turk Barrett (Rob Morgan) from Into The Cut again, though this time, instead of human trafficking, he’s selling guns. He’s quite the entrepreneur, if nothing else. He’s selling a .45 automatic to someone who prefers revolvers (because he thinks they’re prone to jamming), though Barrett swears for the efficacy of the gun. Though as […]
