Daredevil Netflix analysis

Both seasons are THE best new TV show of the past decade.

Honest to God.

Imma just say it right here; Mark Steven Johnson's Daredevil: Director's Cut is slightly better than Netflix's PHENOMENAL Daredevil Season 1 and FAR superior to the EMBARRASSMENT that was Season 2 (Punisher was great, everything else sucked...And don't even get me STARTED on Elektra. That is the MCU's equivalent of Spider-Man 2's Venom.)

No way! the Affleck film still sucked and Marvel does it better than than just licensing to other studios as Netflix's Daredevil is unashamed and true to the roots of the character.

"Unicorn, mermaid, vampire,sorceress! No name you'd give her would surprise me i love whom i love"

People just say the Affleck film sucks because it's popular to hate. I have yet to see anyone give a remotely valid argument for why the Director's Cut is genuinely a bad film, and if you want to prove me wrong, I'd like to hear your reasonings. Cause so far, all I seem to get it "Ben Affleck sucks because he sucks, I don't like the soundtrack, the movie is dark and that's lame, playground scene." None of which are valid reasons to call the movie bad.

The MCU only occasionally handles its characters well. Look at what those idiots did with Abomination in the '08 Hulk disaster. Took one of the most interesting and sympathetic characters in Marvel comics and turned him into a brute with no intelligence who smashes things for no reason.

If Netflix's Daredevil was unashamed of the roots of it's character, it would make more of a distinction between the personalities of Matt and Daredevil like in the comics. It also wouldn't have turned Elektra from a tragic victim of her hatred and desire for revenge into a creepy, dishonest jerk putting the blame on everyone else but herself.

And the movie was FAR from ashamed of its source material; the constant name drops of previous Daredevil writers (Frank Miller, David Mack, Brian Michael Bendis, Jack Kirby, Joe Quesada, e.t.c), the MANY shots taken DIRECTLY from the comics (The Elektra/Bullseye fight is a shot for shot recreation of the comics apart from Elektra being stabbed through the hand to justify her loss, 2 covers from the Kevin Smith "Man Without Fear" run are recreated, one when Daredevil is bleeding while holding onto a Cathedral Cross and the other at the very end where he even name drops the words "guardian devil") the cameos of important character's in Matt's mythos (Matt's nun mother makes a cameo, the little tributes to storylines in the comics (The bar fight scene was inspired by Daredevil's first fight in the comics going after Fixer. Also, Elektra's character arc is basically a much quicker version of the revenge arc she goes through in the comics) I'd say behind Suicide Squad, Spider-Man 2 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, it's the 4th most accurate and loving tribute comic book movie to its source material.
