NetFlix's DareDevil - Your thoughts?

[HardcoreDandDGirl]

[MENTION=67338]GMforPowergamers[/MENTION], you need to take a breath and back up for a moment, I'm sure [MENTION=55961]goldomark[/MENTION] didn't mean to come off as insulting or condescending. We can all agree that this is a golden age for comic book geeks and we are being spoiled by great series and movies... even if the comics themselves may be taking a bit of a hit.

I agree with most of what you say but I think you could rethink how you say it...

I think it fits and it is Hawkeye and Black Widow who do not. Their official lack of super powers and the actions they still are able to perform makes them stand out.

they are the precedent, along with Agents of Shields

best superhero series done to date.

I thought GM's preferring aflec DD was the funniest thing someone said on this thread, but you one uped it... flash and arrow both blow DD away

Yeah, no. They are cheap, filled with filler, badly written and acted.

what are you talking about, Flash has the best special effects on tv. Flash also has the best cast hands down movie or tv...

Yikes. I like Flash, but it's no House of Cards, True Detective, or Game of Thrones.

Cheapness isn't just special effects. It is locations, photography, costumes, filler... There is a lot of care that went into DD. It looks more like a movie than a series.

Series like Arrow, Flash, AoS or Gotham are more rushed and are more convulated. There are reasons for that. They have more episodes per season and not all of them have been made or written before they start filming. Because all the DD episodes are made at once (because they are released at the same time), it means they have to write it all before filming starts, make all the storyboards, etc. It makes for a better product. More cohesive. Less episodes mean more money per episodes too.

Flash also has the best cast hands down movie or tv...

I'm not even sure where to beging with this doozy.

sorry, I agree, I should have said "Best SUPERHERO cast" I didn't think that through...


edit: to be fair I've never seen house of cards... but True detective and game of thrones are both stellar

I'm not sure what you think is wrong with the flash but all of that is great. I mean they got the flash costume, and most the villains in there perfect. I don't think that Dare devil did any better then the CW did.

Gotham is the worst of them (and still heads and tails over what we saw ten years ago... mutant X shudder)

There are reasons for that. They have more episodes per season and not all of them have been made or written before they start filming.

I follow this guy emergency awesome on you tube, and he was talking about them writing and tapeing at he same time, and that they were rewrites on the set...so I think one of you has it wrong. I believe it is you just looking for a reason that Netflix is better then cable. Unless you were on set, or in those rooms, I'm not sure that this is going anywhere though... I don't want to get into a argument over it...

I'm not even sure where to beging with this doozy.

read the first page again I ranked all of the shows, and put flash at the top, way above DD

I'm one of the few if only people not impressed. I give it a 6 out of 10.
It's good, and had it come out 10-15 years ago it would have been a 9 out of 10. if it wasn't linked to Avengers and Agents of shield I would give it a 7.5 out of 10. How ever I now have Agents of shield (that started out a bit weak so it's hard to compare since DD only had 13 shows not twenty something) and Arrow (that basicly was in the 3rd show already as good or better then the 13th Daredevil...) and flash that hit the ground running (pun intended).
I would put this as better then Gothem, as good as Constantine, better then 1st half of season 1 shield but not as good as 2md half of shield, much worse then Arrow, and can't hold a flame to flash...

The primary difference is more location shooting rather than sets. That always shows.

All of them use both, of course, but DD is more location filmed than most of the others.

Better than the Avenger cast?

 

[HardcoreDandDGirl]

Better than the Avenger cast?

hands down...

I find myself as excited to sit down every Tuesday night to hear "I'm the fastest man alive" then I am about going to see age of ultron.
