Hi everyone! Blindness dev new to the board here. Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I'm curious if anyone has thoughts on the Daredevil remake? I read somewhere that the first episodes were originally very Matt-centric (which I prefer over the violent daredevil scenes personally) but that it was scrapped and the new version will be even more violent and less Matt-centric (and therefore in my mind less devvy). Curious what you all think!

I have mixed feelings about the upcoming season, for a lot of the same reasons. I'm also not a fan of the ultra-violence, but the first season was so well done, I hope they can capture some of that again. It does seem like they made some hacky choices in the first shoots of the upcoming series, so it was promising to hear they decided to go back to what worked in the original and re-hired the same actors as Foggy and Karen. On the other hand, I loved the funny, sexy Matt from She-Hulk, and I wish there was a lot more of that. Also they already used big chunks of the Born Again story from the comics in season 3 of Daredevil and season 2 of Jessica Jones, so I'm not sure what they are bringing back now. There are so many good DD stories from the comics, especially the ones written by Mark Waid. Why not use any of those?

That thread you linked me to is so good ! And omg, I completely agree with what you said about the scene between Matt and Karen, where he agrees with her that the cane is just an act, to be SO ANNOYING. Such a missed opportunity for a devvy moment! And I agree that the other seasons of daredevil were well done, so hopefully they keep the same spirit of the show. |

That line was really controversial and the producers later said they regretted it. Also Deborah Ann Woll who plays Karen has a blind husband IRL and she also said she knew at the time the line was ableist and wrong, and she wishes she had spoken out against it earlier.
I am cautiously excited for the new season. It's almost always a bad sign when there is major reshoots on a TV series but the articles I've seen seem to agree that it's an improvement so who knows. I hope we see more of Echo too because that series was great and the Deaf representation was really good. Shoshanna Stern, who created the series This Close, was one of the writers and producers.
