Yeah, I can see it, but it seems Kick-Ass 2 soured him on these kind of roles.
>>Jim Carrey was approached for Kilgrave before David Tennant was cast.
So they wanted a fricking annoying clown for a villain from the beginning. Very obvious they were never gonna treat him as anything but a joke for the shit Bendis OC to trample.
damn
David Tennant saved that show
He was every bit as awful as the rest of this godawful show, frick off.
Why so mad anon?
Don't like gays with shit taste who keep regurgitating this moronic bullshit.
I reiterate, frick off and die.

What the hell were they thinking, having it take a whole season
Rumor has it Fox retooled that failed Punisher show into this.
>cop punisher
Kill it with fire. That’s literally just max Payne
The Defenders (2017)
>The series would originally have multiple seasons, but production was so troubled that plans for sequels were scrapped and the project was rebranded as a limited series.
>Iron Fist would originally be inspired by Daredevil to create his own suit, but this was scrapped.
this show had quite possibly one of the worst season finales I've ever seen, it was sloppy and embarrassing and the choreography was a massive step down from Daredevil. Also that entire "friends of the heroes" episode was cringe as frick. still can't believe after all the hype the crossover culminated as total dogshit
>>Fox was originally developing an R-rated reboot film set in the 1970’s directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Robert Pattinson, but couldn’t start production before the rights returned to Marvel Studios.
Don't forget, Marvel said they could get an extention on the Daredevil rights if they handed over the rights to Silver Surfer and Galactus
Fox declined and so Daredevil went back to Marvel
Knowing Fox they would have fricked that movie up.
Yeah but now I really wonder how that MCU trajectory would've gone
The rumors were talked about during 2012 so there were probably discussing it at that time:
https://www.comicsbeat.com/marvel-and-fox-playing-swapsies-for-daredevil-film-rights/
If it happened how much would their plans change? Would they just not do Ultron or Thanos and have one of the then-forthcoming Avengers movies be about the Avengers taking on Galactus and the Surfer?
Maybe. Gunn did pitch a Silver Surfer treatment back in 2015.
>>Fox was originally developing an R-rated reboot film set in the 1970’s directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Robert Pattinson, but couldn’t start production before the rights returned to Marvel Studios.
They weren't really developing anything, they just wanted Marvel, who were already far more successful at making Marvel movies than FOX had ever been to that date, to pay to get the rights back early. The threat was that Marvel would lose them for another decade if a movie was made, but FOX also didn't want to assign a real budget so nothing got done and they reverted.
A few years later, FOX was bluffed into making the truly awful Fantastic Four reboot under Trank, who was hired principally because he was young and cheap and had done one critically praised superhero-like movie, after having tried to bluff Marvel into buying back those rights. Little to no oversight from the studio happened despite reports that Trank's set was out of control and the finished product has major problems of a quite basic kind in almost every aspect.
Leaving both projects until the last possible moment to announce is the big tell. If Marvel had bought back the FF rights during production, that movie would have shut down and FOX might have continued to be seen as a profitable entity within the Newscorp group, but as is, Murdoch decided to sell the movie side of the business (along with other portions) and focus solely on the news/reportage/opinion side. He has since been forced out of control of the company, which was long overdue.
Nice fanfic.
>He has since been forced out of control of the company, which was long overdue.
isnt the whole reason because hes too old
>Peter Gerety was originally cast as Leland Owsley, but dropped out due to an injury and was replaced by Bob Gunton. Gerety’s scenes were reworked to make him Samuel Silke.
How do his scenes get reworked if Owsley is in the present and Silke is Fixer's partner in the past?
4 would have featured Lee Owsley adopting the identity of The Owl to assume control of the criminal underworld of New York City and recruiting Bullseye to kill Daredevil. Also, Melvin Potter would become Gladiator and Typhoid Mary would come to Hell’s Kitchen.
man they cancelled it JUST when it was gonna get good and do anything besides recycle Miller
>Kevin Feige wanted to feature Daredevil in the films, but was barred by Ike Perlmutter, who wanted to build a Marvel Television Universe independent from the MCU.
Did Perlmutter have a single good idea?
>Ike Perlmutter
The idea of having separate domains for TV and Film weren't unique to Perlmutter, and it's half the god damned reason there was so much hostility and interoperability issues for stories. It's not even like there's a problem of cross pollinating with writers, it's the damn producers trying to stake out their territory for certain stories. There's probably plenty of guild rules or some nonsense that motivates it, but it was breasts for getting great stories to grow beyond their little and fairly vulnerable backyards.
Given the consequences of the Disney+ show on the MCU brand, I think Perlmutter was right.
He was every bit as shitty as the rest of that show, he fit right in. Why are you gays so intent on sucking him off so much?
Deleted my post because it had a moronic phone autocorrect in it.
He was a fun goofy villain that posed a decent threat. Cry Moar and bring up sucking wiener unprovoked you prancing lala homosexual man.
>fun
Same way having cancer is fun. Willing to bet you're the exact kind of a moron who enjoys Moffat's crap.
>threat
Lmao. That moron was an absolute joke. The only reason that dipshit "posed any threat" is because everyone on that shitty show is a low IQ mongoloid.
>unprovoked
You deserve it for being a moronic homosexual with shit taste. Do the world a favor and 41% yourself.
>unprovoked obsession with trannies next.
You're a homosexual. Your mind is filled up the brim with gay sex and trannies. Moffat also needs to be offed, but that fact makes no difference on you being a completely deranged coomer.
>moron brings up homosexualry first
>cries when it's used against him
LMAO, what a moron you are. No wonder you have such shit taste, what with your mental moronation.
Weird you don't like Moffat, though. Jessica Jones' shit villain is exactly like his characters; obnoxious and cringeworthy in every single way.
Feige wanted to feature Daredevil in the films, but was barred by Ike Perlmutter, who wanted to build a Marvel Television Universe independent from the MCU.
Truly there was no limit to the amount of things this man could frick over.
I liked Danny in that one episode of Luke Cage he guest starred in. Shame the damage was done by that point and now Danny will never be Iron Fist ever again
Netflix crap deserves to be wiped out from history for that alone.
Well, that and adapting Bendis crap.
Yeah but the Danny stuff has effected both the comics and all future renditions of the character. He’s done for
I will never understand how on Earth anyone could ever frick up a martial arts series.
It's probably even easier to do than a slasher series because you won't need gallons of fake blood at least.
Scott Buck
Didn't this dumb frick at one point say that "they couldn't think of a reason for Danny to wear his costume"?
affected
