This may seem like a weird thing, but one thing that really worked for me was Charlie Cox's voice. He speaks a lot in, not hushed tones, but quieter, and it suits the timbre of his voice very well.

If we do get a Shang Chi series, Fu Manchu had better be played by James Hong, or i'll be slightly disappointed!

Finally finished the season, it was better than I thought but a little worse than it could have been. All in all, it was pretty drat good and a nice change of pace from the usual superhero show. Excited for the next season. Oh, and I cannnot stop saying Señor Foggy in that old lady voice. Señor Fooooooooggy.

Other people don't want to spend a whole lot so they'll hire a bunch of cheap henchmen. Except no one is scared of a bunch of henchmen. That's why you dress them as ninjas. One Ninja -> a real ninja -> badass. Many Ninjas -> scrubs -> cannon fodder.

The best thing is to get a scene where he's just coming from or going to meeting other people and contrasting it to a scene with Frankenstein that happened near it. Just to see him lose like 3 inches in height and be reduced to "No....no mam. Yes mam." and never making eye contact, then he meets Frankenstein and you get 8,000 words of overwrought revenge porn that would make Shakespeare stop and go "drat son, throw a dick joke in there or something. Break up the flow a bit.". Friendzonestein was pretty drat good. It beats out "Totally Normal Human Male Ethan Chandler", although that one pretty much has to be retired now that they've gotten explicit with the werewolf exorcist of London.

The spoiler policy in this thread would make a fascinating case study in an anthropolgy PHD about how the methods and socialization with which we, as a society, consume media has changed. I don't mean this in a bad way, I think it's effective. I'm watching the finale now and I appreciated being able to read peoples reactions to various episodes as I watched them. It's just a very interesting sign of the times. edit: also this show is amazing and if it doesn't get a second season, and just gets absorbed into the MCU I'll be bummed.

AnonSpore posted:Foggy owned bones though Yeah. I thought i was going to hate him when I saw his very first scene. But like all the characters in this show, he is written and acted as a lot more human than we've come to expect from both television archetypes and comic book screen adaptions. It's what really made this show shine for me. The characters are people, who are flawed, but not in cartoonish ways. Compare Daredevil to Arrow (I haven't seen season 3 yet, no spoilers, please). Arrow has characters whose flaws are "I am angst, you've failed this city, I don't know how to stop banging hot bitches and get some revenge" and "I got super soldier drugs and now I'm a psycho and it makes me SO MAD" or "A bunch of people died so I'm not speaking to you until the next big reveal". The difference between The CW and Netflix is night and day. (The Flash is still great, though)

I still don't think it's fair to compare Arrow or The Flash with Daredevil. They're going for vastly different things. The CW shows are totally, unapologetically embracing the silliness and soap operatic elements of comic books. Daredevil is basically The Wire if McNulty was a ninja.

Funnily enough I think I really liked all the characters except Karen. The more I think about it the more her luring Ben to see Fisk's mom just because he didn't put the story she wanted above his ill wife sticks in my craw.

I don't think you're supposed to "like" Karen. Like I said earlier, she represents someone who thinks that their pluck, courage, and determination will lead to them winning out in the end and, in a more traditional narrative, she'd have been right. But in Daredevil it leads to two innocent people dying and Karen tainting herself with the murder of Wesley. She's a cautionary tale.

Well yeah, it's obvious that the shows have different goals. However, characters lying to each other being a source of grief is a major theme in Arrow, and it falls completely flat. Everyone is lying to everyone in Arrow, and they are all mad about it, but it doesn't have a real emotional impact. I guess I'm just saying that this is a good example of how it's really the little details of execution that make the premise effectively engaging. Like I want Matt and Karen to tell each other the truth because I can see that it's tearing everything apart that they're not. I want Ollie and Thea to tell each other the truth so that drama can finally be over. Because I'm tired of the CW Angst(tm).

Phylodox posted:Daredevil is basically The Wire if McNulty was a ninja. The suspect is most likely a white male in his late twenties to late thirties, who is a college graduate, but feels superior to those with the ability to see, and is likely employed in a bureaucratic entity, possibly civil or public service. He has a problem with authority and a deep-seated resentment for those that have impeded his progress professionally. The sexual nature of the killings is thought to be a secondary motivation and the lack of DNA or saliva in the bite marks suggests possible postmortem staging. He may be struggling with lasting relationships and potentially a high functioning alcoholic with alcohol being used as a trigger in the crimes. The suspect’s apparent resentment of the homeless may indicate a previous personal relationship with a homeless person or the targeting may simply be an opportunity for the killer to assert his superiority and intellectual prowess."
