I’m Just Sayin’…#31

Much like with THE INCREDIBLE HULK, I think the best bet for DAREDEVIL is to start fresh…the ideas I’m going to lay down here require a start over, as I believe that the attempt to cram so much into the 2003 film has rendered it incapable of bearing solid sequels…We’re going to space this one movie into three…and I will also be suggesting which comic book stories each film should use as a foundation.

Okay - let’s do this.

I’ve sat in many a discussion over this hypothetical superhero movie or that, getting into how Actor A would be GREAT for the role of Comic Character B, so on and so forth. I’ve developed the opinion that, when it comes to the main roles in a superhero movie, the most important thing is that the actor should be the precise blend of star recognition, facial resemblance and acting ability, that s/he be completely swallowed up by the character s/he portrays…This is where Daredevil fell short.

Simply put - Marvel and FOX Studios blew it big time by changing Daredevil’s suit way too much. The Zorro-styled mask? Fine, I can live with that - it lends to the swashbuckling, dark-rogue nature of the character. Putting the “DD” over the left breast as opposed to centered in the chest? Another stylistic choice that I can’t understand the point of, but whatever. The big thing to me was…putting a leather racing suit on a free-running vigilante who relies on stealth to carry out his obvious death-wish? Uhm, yeah - coulda thought that out more…
