[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 7668756, member: 18182"] I don't think so, I give movie goers a little more credit. Movies adapted from other sources, whether they be comics, novels, earlier movies, games, or whatever ALWAYS change the details of the source material to one degree or another. And folks know that. Did Peter Jackson's LotR or Hobbit films tell the EXACT same story as the books? Did the Harry Potter films? Especially when there have been multiple movie versions of characters, like Batman. Tim Burton's Batman was VERY different from Christopher Nolan's, and I think audiences handled that just fine. So, if after watching the Netflix Daredevil series I decide to pick up the latest Daredevil comic books . . . will I be confused and turned off that they are different? I'll probably be OK, as would most folks, IMO.
