#seasons 2 and 3 of daredevil chose violence

[tendercoretroglodyke]

the incredible divide between how people rank the seasons of daredevil based on whether or not they know that foggy (and more importantly, foggy's smile) is by far the best thing to happen to the MCU or if they simply hate fun and love

i am coming out of my shell to antagonize all of you dumb daredevil gatekeepers because even though i've been trying to live my peaceful star wars life in this hellsite, y'all won't shut up and keep appearing on my dash and i want to remind everyone that i am a daredevil stan first and a human being second

so

it's great that y'all enjoyed your netflix version of dd and all that, i did too. i am particularly fond of season 3. and i do really like the cast. i have my opinions about the storyline the writers chose to go with through seasons 1 and 2 but overall i was satisfied with it

however

yeah they went for a mature rating in that show, and chose to operate on darker plots and use violence and such to make it targeted to adult audiences. and that's cool. that appeals to me too. bendis's run in my favorite and i've been vocal about it very often in this blog

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL THAT DAREDEVIL IS

in fact if you take every single dd issue, the darker themes trend will probably be in less than 50% of them !! because daredevil is also supposed to be FUN and CAMPY and TACKY and it was created in the 60's by STAN LEE

yes, frank miller made daredevil history with his tragic runs, and bendis and brubaker kept the spirit going

but daredevil is also MARK WAID AND CHRIS SAMNEE it's colorful it's cartoony it's lighthearted

so, to wrap this up:

you want to see dark brooding bloody daredevil? bitch you got 3 netflix seasons to watch and a bunch of comics to read. don't be so entitled that you'd rather gatekeep the character for yourself and not allow it to be presented to a different kind of audience who might have never known it otherwise

i'm not saying i am sure i will enjoy disney's version of dd. i am pretty sure i won't. BUT THAT'S OKAY BECAUSE I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTER. i don't like 70% of the comics and i have been vocal about it here, but that doesn't mean i wish they were never written

let people enjoy things. a bad new season doesn't undo 3 good previous seasons.
