Well I marathoned the 13 episodes of Daredevil last week and I was far from disappointed. The series did an excellent job of portraying a crime drama with a super hero twist, and left me really excited to see how this Defenders project will unfold. If you haven't watched it yet, stop reading, 'cause here be spoilers.
First, a few nitpicky things:
-If Wilson Fisk (or any other 'mysterious person') wants to get around unnoticed, 2 black SUVs is NOT as stealthy as it might seem; it just screams "I'm up to some sketchy biz."
-When Daredevil has Vladimir all banged up in the empty warehouse, and Vladimir pulls that "I'm dying and going to talk quietly so this guy leans in and I can hit him" maneuver, I call BS. Daredevil can hear everything, there was no way he would need to lean in for that.
And now, my favorite stuff:
-All the Catholic stuff; the angel and the church in the opening sequence is my favorite part, and Father Lantom rocked all of his scenes.
-This portrayal of Fisk is so damn good. I especially like the part at the end where he is telling the story of the Good Samaritan and realizes "I am the ill intent."
-Karen, Foggy, and Murdock have an awesome relationship, and I never felt like the "non hero" stuff was getting in the way or slowing things down.
-Hnnnng, love for Rosario Dawson continues to flourish.
-The way he finally gets his "real" costume was done really well, and I hope we continue to see Melvin Potter.
So now it's time to speculate about the future. The biggest loose end right now seems to be with Stick and his war, and whoever he was talking to in all that incense at the end of episode 7. I'm sure I could dig through some Marvel stuff to figure out who that dude is, but either way I'm betting we will see it tie into The Hand, and possibly even Elektra and Bullseye as being a part of the Defenders story line a few seasons from now. Or maybe they will save that for a possible season 2?
In anycase, Marvel's Netflix stuff=so far, so good!
