Talking about the golden TV and OTT days of Marvel, it was when Marvel shows streamed on Netflix. The two prime shows were “Daredevil” and “Punisher,” as fans loved the blood-and-violence-filled extravaganza with phenomenal writing and storylines.
Now, as Marvel is going through a reboot phase, they have been supportive creatively.
Though realistically, the show is going through a bumpy ride. From reducing the number of episodes from 18 to 9 to a plethora of reshoots, it might be an attempt by Marvel to make things perfect.
“Marvel had been incredibly open-minded and willing to correct course, and incredibly supportive.”
Vincent D’Onofrio’s role as Kingpin will also be at the center of attention, especially after the release of “Echo,” which turns out to be a glory show for Kingpin and probably establishes him as the Thanos of street-level superheroes.
“The best thing about the situation is what Charlie just said about the bosses at Marvel, and also the fact that Charlie and I were a team. We just supported each other in everything that each other wanted, whether we were in the scene or not.”
“Whether it featured our characters, it didn’t matter. As a team, Charlie and I considered the story and the fans. Literally, I’m not sh*tting you. You guys, we considered you constantly and brought you up constantly.”
Now, a big question is, will it bring back the old “Daredevil” glory?
Practically speaking, it doesn’t need to. Especially if you keep in mind that “Daredevil” will attempt to gain a new fanbase, it can have a fresh slate. Eventually, the old viewers who watched the original “Daredevil” series will watch it anyways. So, Marvel needs to make it appeal to the new generation; it needs to suit their taste.
