This is how you adapt a comic book superhero. As a fan of Daredevil, I am dancing with
glee. Drew Goddard nails it, giving us
the dark crime fighter we all want to see and the complex villain in Kingpin
we’ve always yearned for. I’m so excited
by this television series and the future of this Marvel television world. For one, it’s not meant for younger viewers. Which is great; this is for us adults who
read the comics and want something dark and exciting. It’s violent and gritty and doesn’t glaze
over the fact that fighting criminals is dangerous. My only disappointment is that DC didn’t
choose this same outlet for Batman; this kind of treatment would be perfect for
the Dark Knight. In fact there are times
I felt like I was watching a blind Bruce Wayne learn to become a hero. That said, Marvel did it first, and I hope
this show is the beginning of the end to cinematic superheroes. Superheroes deserve this kind depth and
attention to detail. Cinema isn’t for
serialized properties; this is where comics should go. Save the movie screen for stories that
actually have endings. A
