Marvel's Daredevil

In Daredevils case in the TV series his suit wasn't made by him. It was made by a guy who is naturally creative, maybe he felt the horns just looked cool so he put them on his suit. The rest of it was more practical. Red for slashing, black for stabbing etc.

I think the horns and colors were largely Matt's idea. Remember when he commissioned the guy, he told him he wanted him to make a symbol. He must have at least said 'make me a devil costume' even if he didn't specify horns and red colors. What I thought was weak was the explanation for the different colors. He didn't have time so the red parts of the suit are weaker?


I just finished the season last night and had been refraining from reading this thread. First, for some reason, I didn't realize Fisk was Private Pyle until like Episode 10. I thought he was just a bad actor, but now I'm thinking he's actually pretty good and must have been doing the over-acting thing on purpose. My wife thought his speech patterns worked great for the role. Though, she also likes William Shatner so ....

For some reason the final episode had a ton of 'really?' moments that weren't there the rest of the season. I don't know if they just got sloppy or if my suspension of disbelief faded. Like them arresting the senator, the lawyers, and the secretary at the paper. What could they possibly have on the secretary? So she took money to inform someone what was going on. She's not a public official, what's illegal about that? It's a giant stretch to say she had anything to do with Ben's murder. And even if the senator was guilty, there's no way they'd be able to touch him, those fuckers are above the law. Almost the same with the lawyers. My wife thinks the lawyers could be arrested for hiding criminal activity, but if a lawyer can't do that, then why do they even exist? Maybe they had a lot more on those people than they bothered to explain. I liked that one person talking brought it all down around his ears like that. I mean, when you've paid off thousands of people and just one of them can cause this kind of damage, you've got a bad business plan.

I don't really like them releasing the series all at once, because it means we can't have an active discussion after each episode. We have to treat it like a movie and come talk about it once we've seen the entire thing.

Did you notice the word former? Pretty sure he was arrested for things he did after he left office to hide the things he did while in office. Take a look at the house bank scandal. No arrests or indictments there because everyone was a sitting congressman. That's what I'm talking about. I'm not sure what it takes for a sitting congressman to be arrested.
