TupennyConan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The E2 shot isn't a legitimate Altmanesque no-cut shot as it clearly takes advantage of more than one fadeout but it's played as one shot, artistically. I like the way DD is fatigued all throughout. I also enjoy the way he's constantly getting his arse kicked. That's just how DD should be played. Murdock should always be wrecked, face down in the gutter. I'm sure this has been discussed, but are we seeing a healing power? If so, I approve the show's embroidery of his powers.

He and Stick talk about their type of (ninja) meditation being able to help you focus and "heal" but it's not really shown other than his type of injuries should kill/leave comatose anyone else. He's still hurt most of the time, but able to walk around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I just rewatched the last 4 minutes of E2. I think it's my favorite fight sequence of all time. I didn't see that sudden shift in rankings coming. They have created a very interesting fighting style for DD. And it fits with the character. In the comics I always pictured DD at about 6'0" and 175-185 pounds - light heavyweight to cruiserweight, and big, talented and strong enough to have knockout power. In the show he looks to be more like 5"10" 155-165. Super thin and wiry. His fighting style is an accumulation of blows, with spins and jumps to add more force and impact. I think it is absolutely brilliant and it really adds to the greatness of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel just keeps raising the bar higher and higher Yup, Marvel is hitting on all cylinders for sure.... Shield was a dud to me but how could it not with the limitations of TV budgets and mainstream broadcast rating limitations. Im starting to worry that Preacher might have been better served on Netflix than AMC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He11blazer Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just watched eps 4 and 5. "Micro changes in air density" made me laugh, since this is the line Ash used to fob off Ripley when he didn't want to tell her how it really worked. Curious little Alien reference to throw in there just for fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelcollector Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Doesn't seem likely they will have a season 2 of DD. But I hope they do. I'm not sure what their plans were initially, but given the response, they would be foolish not to have a second season. And Marvel has not shown a tendency to foolishness.

The show deserves more than just a season 2. If they can hit it out of the park again...keep it going. This cast deserves more than just one season. I just watched the end of Episode 2 again. I can watch that fight scene 1,000 times and not get tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davenport Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Just noticed: If you go to instantwatcher.com (needed because Netflix's search engine sucks horribly) select "all" and set the rating-filter to 4.5 or better,, there's Daredevil sitting among a small few... out of 9686 total titles. That's amazing, truly. And well deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunsicker Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I just finished Episode12 They killed Ben Urich?!?! He's one of my favorite characters! Yeah, I was disappointed by that as well. Partially that I think it makes Born Again (if they do it) less good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
