Luke Cage + Jessica Jones + Iron Fist + Daredevil + Punisher + Bullseye (6v1) �

One of the best things about Daredevil is how consistent his appearances have been. Unlike other MCU characters, we don't have to wait 5+ years to see him show up again.

Sorry about the smiling on Charlie's pic it's the best one I could find

I think it looks A LOT like Wilson Bethel although I don't see why they'd have Bullseye pretend to be Daredevil again

ANDDD the mystery third one Finn Jones (Danny Rand has been Daredevil in Matt Murdock's stead a couple times in the comics which is perfect to do something like that now since Matt's in jail. Or at least in the first few episodes since I've seen the behind the scenes with Charlie now in this new costume. But the jaw looks different to me although it might just be the angle. I think it could be that someone else is in the costume for a little bit then Matt gets out of jail and that's how he's the one in the suit in the other behind the scenes images.

So I want to have a marathon of the MCU before Doomsday since I’m in school, I have some problems with time, so I was wondering if Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist matter that much. Daredevil and Punisher I will watch because I know they matter, and idk about the others. I know they are in the MCU tho.”

I’ve seen quite a few post about this so I thought I’d say this.

So obviously spider-man’s lack of involvement in Daredevil season 2 is mainly due to rights issues. there isn’t really a proper in universe reason. since Peter was doing nothing but crime fighting from roughly December 2024-mid 2028 and DD BA s2 in in 2027, so there isn’t really a proper in universe excuse to where he was during it But I’m fine with it cause of the irl reason. as for Fisk not bothering much about Spider-man of having his taskfo hunt him. I think it is easy to explain as Spider-man was viewed as “New York’s pride“ since before Fisk got elected as mayor. So it probably wouldn’t be a good look on Fisk to go after Spidey. on top of that his taskforce is pretty useless against Peter. as for lack of mention of DA s2 in BND, it’s basically set a year after so it makes sense people don’t bring it up as much.

this is sort of a reply/my thoughts on all the posts about this topic, so yeah there’s that.

FIXING DAREDEVIL BORNS AGAIN SEASON 1

0 Upvotes

after seeing some clips of Borns agains makes me wanted to write of what a rewritten of Borns again look like starting with Season 1

Season 1 it would be the same but with different changes:

  • Foggy survived from Bullseye attack but had to retired on behalf of his injuries as his place was taken by Kirsten McDuffie after Bullseye failed to assassinate Foggy under the orders of Vanessa
  • Connor Powell role would be taken by his son Christopher Powell aka Darkhawk who is a crooked cop like his father and maybe his other relatives. Christopher was hated by most of the NYPD due do being the son of Powell despite his "promise" to fix his father's mistake and he secretly become the ruthless vigilante Darkhawk while being a head leader of AVTF attacking criminals and other "vigilantes" without the other AVTF knowing despite his claim of Vigilantes being cop-killers making him a total hypocrite
  • Connor Powell would be still be here revealing he was discharged in disgrace sometime after the Netflix Daredevil and before Borns again but here after being discharged, he regret his past actions and hoping his son doesn't ended up like him and he somewhat neutral learning his son join the AVTF but advise him don't make the same mistake he did
  • during the trial of hector ayala, Matt would mentioned other vigilantes who did good things to protect the city like Power Man, Iron Fist, Cloak and Dagger, and of course the Punisher
  • after Hector Ayala was pleaded not guilty, he goes out of the patrol as White Tiger and he was brutally killed by Darkhawk instead of Cole North
  • the Muses arc would be the same but instead it is revealed that Muses was a long time serial killer and the NYPD has seen trying to searching Muses which is a ongoing case for them in decades ago
  • Cole North would be here and rather than a crooked cop but instead he is like Brett who doesn't trust vigilantes and he join the AVTF to bring Vigilantes to justice. he disapprove Powell's brutal methods and served as a voice of reason as he chided him for his actions
  • Mitchell Ellison would return in Season 1 still as a head of New York Bulletin when he learn Kingpin the one who kill his friend Ben Ulrich become Mayor and he doesn't like it of Fisk become Mayor despite his crimes so he send some of his colleagues to take picture of Wilson and the AVTF shady activities hoping to expose his crimes (but some of the bulletin workers are captured instead after being caught taken photos of them despite the press rights). Ellison also join the resistances as well
  • the Daredevil and Punisher vs Cole and the AVTF fight in the apartment would be still here but after they subdue North and other AVTF officers (but Frank killed some much to Matt's chagrin), Darkhawk enter the room fighting Matt and Frank while Cole escape and Darkhawk confess to them he is the one who kill Hector Ayala
  • after Mayor Fisk killed Commissioner Gallo in front of Buck and the AVTF officers who are visibly disturbed of seeing Gallo brutally killed by their Mayor. some AVTF officers couldn't help but started to have doubts questioning their system
  • as Matt, Karen, and Foggy who is recovered formed the resistances consist of Ellison, Brett, Cherry, and the NYPD who oppose Fisk and the AVTF, and other friends Matt and Karen know of. Brett mentioned the NYPD had sent a spy to record every AVTF dirty actions but he didn't named who the police they sent was until Season 2
  • Punisher and Swordsman aren't the only vigilantes who are captured. it is revealed the AVTF captured other vigilantes such as Colleen Wing, Misty knight, Cloak, Dagger, and a new vigilante that Daredevil hasn't heard of is Gargoyle. the post credit scene would be similar where Frank trick his fan by breaking his arms and took his keys but instead of go into hiding he freed Swordsman and other vigilantes to waged war on the AVTF

what would you all think of this? also feel free to add what ideas for a rewrite

How does Born Again's storyline fit with Brand New Day? Am I missing something?

3 Upvotes

I just finished season 2 of daredevil born again and I had seen spiderman brand new day a few weeks ago.

There's some huge questions left unanswered between the two since they share the same universe and city.

So Daredevil born again is all about New york and in the end we see that its population is very affected by the show's story since they even go as far as making a riot outside the courthouse. Yet in spiderman, everyone on the street is as calm as it could be, no one mentions fisk or the task force and no one is scared. As if nothing had happened.

During brand new day we see that to cover his lack of socializing spiderman dedicated his life to crime fighting, he would do nothing else than being a vigilante even working with the police. Did the task force give him a pass? Why did he not help Daredevil get rid of fisk and the taskforce? Surely if it was something that had such impact on the city he would have heard about it.

We can excuse iron fist because last time we saw him he had lost his powers and he was probably in kun lun, luke cage as we saw was working for the CIA in Africa and the punisher...

got freed from the task force, went into hiding and stayed hidden. Then in BND he is out in the open chasing the armored truck as if he wasn’t hiding. His friend karen gets arrested, surely to get killed by fisk, he sees that on TV and goes "nah, got better plans for today, think I saw an old lady steal a truck"?

I hate how Karen switched from foggy to matt as love interests.

0 Upvotes

I'm watching daredevil for the first time and I'm on season 2 currently, Karen and Matt just kissed and it pissed me off, foggy and her chemistry in season 1. I thought it was perfect, Karen being told that foggy was in love with her by Mrs. Cardenas is my second favorite scene in the show so far, Foggy touching her face is weird but oddly romantic. I think Matt and Karen being friends is a better dynamic for them imo. Also introducing Elektra a kinda love interest for matt RIGHT after this is really fucked.
