So Marvel is going to throw out heroes at us frequently, who all have powers because reasons…?
Daredevil did its origin story through flashbacks interspersed over multiple episodes. That’s pretty much as good as it comes (though in all fairness everyone pretty much already knows the DD origin story as it was one of the few things the movie got correct for the most part).
So what version of DDs sight depiction do you guys prefer? TVs thermal fire vision or the movies radar echolocation vision? I think the way the movie did it was very cool and maybe more accurate. edit: SP.
I honestly don’t think the movie got the origin right. I mean, how did that place let a kid in with all the chemical waste laying all over the place? Also, the origin was suppose have some irony as Matt saved a blind man from getting hit and ended up blind himself.
Daredevil started with the first scene being him getting blinded, while people discuss how heroic he was. That’s pretty much his origin right there. Sure, there is more that gets fleshed out (ie training with Stick, etc), but being a TV show, they had a bit more time to play with.
They got lucky that most of the people in GotG could be explained as Peter met them, rather than needing to give them actual origins right away. But we got Starlord’s, right at the start. Everybody would have been clueless if you just start with a human in space. Cap got one. IM got one. Hulk got a bad one. Thor didn’t because Thor is fucked up in Marvel. He’s not Donald Blake turning into Thor anymore, he’s just…Thor. And everybody knows at least a wee bit of Greek/Norse/Egyptian/etc mythology, like names and shit.
Inhumans, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel. These are all movies that will be pretty much an origin story. Doctor Strange’s origin story is pretty badass in itself, anyways, and there are a million ways to deal with it. His movie will obviously be him getting his hands mangled, him looking for treatments, him meeting the ancient one and Baron Mordo and maybe even Brother Voodoo, then saving the ancient one, then probably finish off with Dormammu reveal to setup future movies, as well as getting him setup in the Sanctum Sanctorum. Origin 101. How you gonna just make Inhumans appear? Oh yeah, we got X-Men on the moon now, but they’re not X-men, they’re potheads who gained superpowers by toking this terrigen chronic.
Did private Pyle gain weight to play kingpin or he’s just a fat-body?
Both are relatively fine, the show just did it better by not making us have to see it too often (only once actually).
If I had to choose one though i’d go with the show just because what I would believe DD’s “sight” depiction to be is something chaotic rather than something so calm and controlled as in the movie.
Whatcha talking about? He defo looked like somebody who could do some damage lol. Nitpicking I would say he should have been fatter but zero complaints on how he was portrayed, infact to be a dick i shall have a dig at how he was made to look quite insecure as opposed to the boisterous Kingpin we all know and love from the spiderman cartoons.
Probably gained weight…he’s actually quite famous for gaining weight to play Private Pyle in the first place (he put on 70 lbs for the role). It’s literally why I wanted him to be Kingpin back when they had Ving Rhames or Michael Clarke Duncan or whoever that terrible tragedy of a casting was, instead.
There were only 2 things I liked about the movie.
The radar sense
Farrell’s bullseye
The show one is just OK imo.
I think it’s a good thing the show only covered the radar sense briefly. It’s the most inconstant aspect of the character. I’m glad the TV show never really bothered with it.
Sigh
this is like 90% of your posts.
didnt like how they did the radar…didn’t quite like how the tv show did it, either…
I did like Bullseye though, a lot of people thought it was over the top, but Bullseye is supposed to be fucking OCD and worse. The bullseye on his fucking forehead was dumb as fuck though.
Winter Soldier literally saved Agents of Shield’s life.
I like the one that ties into an origin that makes me think DD didn’t simply gain awesome powers with no drawback.
That’s my main problem with the DD movie. He turned blind and in the next scene, he’s doing backflips over teenagers and kicking ass when he’s like 10 years old… And nobody knows how the fuck that happened. Did going blind suddenly turn him into a kickass superathletic martial artist too? I guess so.
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
The DD movie pretty much showed that going blind is fucking awesome with no drawbacks.
As much as that movie sucked it frequently showed the drawbacks of his blindness. He’s always in chronic pain popping painkillers like candy and he has to sleep in sensory deprived tank to get any rest.
Yup and couldnt save him from marrying jennifer garner either, movie DD got rode tie fuck.
nah they woulda found a million diff plot points that could link it to the movie universe. the just realized they needed to stop being smallville for marvel.
Yeah but it was the one plot point that actually had legitimate ramifications to them.
i actually prefer the movie costume better. i like the netflix one but just for me personally i did the movie costume.
