I remember that Whedon quote. Jeez, what a faggot. How can a man let words like that come out of his mouth! 'The X-Men aren't killing people?!' Wolverine's claws can't do anything BUT kill people!
Yeah Batman has good intentions and all but when one punch can kill, no way has he got away without killing/crippling shitloads of puny henchmen in his time.
At least Castle's victims stay permanently out of action and he's likely saved thousands of lives as a result. How many times does the fucking Joker etc. have to break out of prison and go on another killing spree cos Bats can't bring himself to just kill one teensy-weensy little supervillain when nobody's looking!

Pretty meh 3rd season. Daredevil just kept getting his ass kicked. Guy has to be a massive lump of scare tissue by now.
Fell asleep during the flashback episode on the redhead chick. She's pretty useless imo but I guess every show needs a damsel in distress.

I'm just a few episodes into the 3rd season of Daredevil and am enjoying it thus far. What keeps this show above all the other Netflix superhero duds for me, is a combination of two things; the acting by D'Onofrio and Cox (as Fisk and Daredevil) and the superb fight choreography.
Fisk oozes menace and power (as he should) and steals every scene he's in. Charlie Cox somehow keeps you rooting for Daredevil through all the insane beatings he soaks up. Those punches, elbows, knees and kicks all have a real, visceral impact.
Talking of beatings ......
... I won't give away spoilers except to say that there is a prison fight in one of the early episodes that is quite simply out of this world. Seriously, this (I'll call it an 'extended fight') is perhaps the best example of its kind I have ever seen in over 40 years of watching movies and television.

VERY MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD
.....MikeS, the whole segment was superbly done. From the moment Matt Murdock was first attacked with the needle until he emerged into the daylight, via a brief interlude with the Albanians I was on the edge of my seat. Murdock just got the shit kicked out of him with loving attention to detail, that scene where he is down on the floor and someone runs in from off-camera and just knees him in the fucking face! Then to watch him wander further down the corridor, breathing heavy, sounding like he's gonna have a heart attack and then more bad guys come into frame! The red lights, alarms and rioting inmates in the background all added to the intensity and surrealism.
I can't rate the fight scenes from all 3 seasons highly enough. Even though we know Daredevil is taking impossible hits to the face, the makers manage to maintain an aura of bone-crunching plausibility throughout.
I hope the rest of the season is as good, but even if it's not, this classic scene is worth this months Netflix subscription on its own.

I truly fucking hate Disney.

Not even Matt Murdoch would have sensed this one coming.
Netflix announced on Thursday it is cancelling Daredevil — one of the streaming service's most beloved series — after just three seasons.
Fans reacted with fury online — with many suspecting Marvel owners Disney were secretly behind the move.
I've watched all 3 seasons of Daredevil and as I've posted before, it's been quality throughout and I'll be sorry to see it go.
It will be amusing though to watch Disney give it the 'Last Jedi' treatment on their own streaming service soon to launch.

That leaves Jessica Jones season 3 (I really don't care) and Punisher season 2. I think both are in production so they are probably safe - and will then get the axe after airing.

Yeah exactly. No way they keep Jessica Jones and Punisher if DD has gotten the axe.

Two-fold issue according to an article I came across somewhere today, and which sounded very plausible. One, they don't want to indirectly advertise for new Marvel content on the upcoming rival Disney streaming service - a service which will also be stripping Netflix of all MCU movies, and two, apparently the series haven't brought in as many new Netflix subscribers as hoped, even though they've been a hit with current ones.

Am I missing something? If Daredevil was profitable, why would they cancel it? What's Disney doing wrong here?

Disney is about to start a streaming service so they're probably consolidating everything under that new roof. It would be hard to attract subscribers if their content was available everywhere.
Same goes for DC. I bet you start to see the CW shows coming over to join Titans.
Also Netflix fronted a majority of the costs for the production of the show

Daredevil is definitely the best show out of The Defenders.
It brought out "Bullseye," his top comic book enemy, who turned out to be a total badass in the show.
Bullseye is now a badass villain who I can get behind because he tore it up being manipulated by Wilson Fisk.
Fisk created a monster who will rise up to be Daredevil's greatest enemy. He kicked Daredevil's ass and turned Daredevil into a killer (so I hope).
Bullseye was the catalyst to turn Daredevil into the antihero that the show needed. Only way Bullseye can be stopped, is for him to die. Hope Daredevil makes a compromise with Fisk to end Bullseye.
Another part of me wants Bullseye to go continue going rogue and reign hell on Hell's Kitchen and make Daredevil his bitch.
Can't wait until next season.
