welcome back to watchmojo where we are counting down ren's top 5 mike murdock moments

5. Killing Bullseye that one time

so, technically this didnt ACTUALLY happen (or itd be my number one lmfao), it was in a dream Matt was having while he was dying. but listen, okay, mike was still so real for this. bullseye was this close to killing Matt and Mike comes outta nowhere, declares his love for Karen Page, and boom shoots the guy right off a fuckin skyscraper how could i NOT talk about this, okay?

4. Being thrown to the ground

listen, he looks good a little roughed up, alright? what are you, a fuckin cop or somethin? aint it my right as a living, breathing, human being to enjoy pretty boys being thrown around a lil sometimes? damn

for reference: the first photo was when he was pretending to be Matt, trying to deal with some mob bosses. one of them got angry and pushed him down. the second was when mike was first introduced in the soule/noto run. bad guys bust into the bar hes at and matt throws him behind cover lmfao

3. this EXCELLENT reintroduction in the 2020 annual

the 2020 annual is when we get mike's whole backstory and THIS is the first panel we see him in. this is genuinely poetic. mike murdock wouldnt exist without first being made-up by matt (and matt pretending to be mike). we all know the story of matt losing his eye sight, he pushed a person out of the way of a van that was carrying toxic chemicals, blah blah

well. here we are yet again. except everythings flipped on its head. mike is pretending to be matt. he's jumping in front of this van to make the guys think theyve hit him so he can help rob them. he isnt saving anyone but he sure as hell is putting himself in danger. it sets the tone for his whole character. its just. yeah. this was fantastic, honestly.

2. his reaction to butch assualting hammerhead

okay so this was the moment in vol 6 that genuinely caught my complete attention. this was the moment i realized just how different and special mike was.

murdocks are known for, well, violence. jack was a boxer, he wanted matt to grow up and be nothing like him. he didnt want matt to fight only for matt to become daredevil later in life. we are led to believe there's almost this inherent violent streak to being "a murdock"

this is after a mob boss meeting, mike is watching hammerhead (a boss) from the shadows, helping butch keep track of him. he lets butch know where hammerhead is. butch proceeds to threaten hammerhead, bash his head into a car, yell at him, then gouge one of his eyes out.

and, well. this was mike's reaction.

this is the first time we are given a glimpse of mike's morals, his values. besides how much he cares for the people close to him, we find out he has an aversion to violence. he's a career criminal, i'm not saying he doesnt know how to throw a punch, but he goes out of his way to avoid it.

he's repeatedly shown to be a voice of reason, a mediator, and every time a violent solution is brought up, he immediately protests and wants to figure out a different way. that's fascinating to me.

he's breaking the mold of being "a murdock" in the most unexpected way. we think he must be so much like jack to so easily get involved in crime (with even jack saying so himself), but here we are shown that's wrong.

i wish we could've gotten his and butch's convo directly after this. also, another thing, mike's reaction to people he cares about doing something he doesnt approve of isn't to get angry, it's to worry. which, again. fascinating. admirable, even.

when he finds out matt's "in rehab" he's worried, and yeah a little angry, but mostly concerned for his brother. even after this incident, we are seen mike being very worried later. he's concerned for butch's mental state and wants to stop him from making any rash decisions (ie killing someone)

but, yeah. sorry for the damn essay (and heres another) anyways

trying to save wilson fisk from being assassinated

christs sake hes so fucking gorgeous. also ignore matt being an asshole here because that's all he ever did when mike was around.

this was another very interesting moment in which we see mike's strong morals on full display. we are repeatedly told mike isn't the kind of person to be trusted, he doesnt take things seriously, he's morally ambiguous yada yada. and yet.

as soon as he finds out butch is planning to maybe (which he later find out he's correct about) put a hit on wilson fisk, wilson fuckin fisk, he wants to stop it. mike is under the impression that killing someone is not a line you can cross and come back from. he's deeply concerned about the path his friend is headed down.

In this scene, he's coming to visit foggy in the hospital to talk to him about maybe getting butch out of jail while also hoping to catch daredevil there. he does, obviously.

his full intention is to team up with daredevil to try and take fisk down. mike thinks if he can take fisk down it'll stop butch from trying to kill him.

him going to daredevil also shows his ability to extend his compassion to others. he has no fuckin reason to trust daredevil. daredevil has done nothing but insult mike, yell and argue with him, and even rough him up a couple of times. and still, mike decides to reach out because he knows daredevil is supposed to be a good guy. he also knows daredevil is supposed to be matt's close friend.

he brings it up more than once that the reason he trusts daredevil is because of matt being his friend (despite mike and matt supposedly not being close).

so, yeah, i got a little off-topic, but that's why i love this scene so much. it shows not only how deeply mike cares for people, but also his compassion and aversion to violence. he's trying to take care of his best friend and trust daredevil despite their differences. he's showing how good of a person he is and how dedicated he is to his cause of a "bloodless" coup.

-----

if you made it this far fuckin THANKS, mike is my favoritest most specialist boy lmao and this turned into a character study high key but im not mad about it

honesly never not losing it about this one panel from the waid & samnee run. an arc that plays with matt's own pride (and hubris), about faking one's death, stolen identities ---- and then samnee gives us a panel with the Infamous Hat & Glasses on the foreground while matt talks about spectacle (the show of defying death) and i simply LOSE MY WHOLE MIND.

also hi!!! i probably show up on your notifs a lot. i'm a roleplay blog for matt and all those metas and moments help me better navigate the psyche of one (or two? certainly not more than three right) murdock as i also go through the (sometimes great, sometimes ardous) process of reading daredevil comics. though who am i kidding, i just end up back on vol 3 and vol 4. it's a curse.

It's the BEST! The strategic cameos by the Mike hat and glasses throughout this run were genius, and this is a favorite. Funny, thematic, impactful...just perfect.

And hi! Yes, I've seen you around, and I'm so glad my blog has been a helpful resource! Matt must be a very fun character to roleplay; he's so complex. And yes, vol. 3 and 4 are comfort reads for me too. I go back to them a lot. I've read volume 3 #1 so many times, I could probably recite it word-for-word...

I want you to know that i found you account and have been jealous at you extensive knowledge about Matt Murdock/ Mike Murdock. As someone who wants to be all knowing entity like you, what comics do you suggest starting off with? How do you acquire such an extensive knowledge? like i'm genuinely jealous (but not like in a mean way but in a way i wanna be just like you)

i am definitely not a daredevil all knowing entity i actually attribute that title to @daresplaining who writes some of the best daredevil meta i've ever seen.

i do have a daredevil reading list though, it isn't mine and i cannot, for the life of me, find the post/account that i rbed it from but it's an extremely comprehensive and detailed list and based on that list, i recommend starting with the 'bronze age' and working your way up but only cause that's where i wish i started. realistically, just read through the list and choose whichever interests you the most and make your way through runs from there cause there are a lot and it can get intimidating.

i also made a mike murdock reading list about a month and a half ago if you're just interested in him for now!

there's also daredevil: noir that i'm a really big fan of and while i recommend reading other earth interpretations of matt's character i'd say to leave that alone until you've gotten to the year it was published in the main continuity (2009). same goes for spider gwen but please don't read spider gwen just looking for matt; he's not the main character.

i hope this helps though!! have fun!!

Daredevil 101: Foggy (Finally!) Finds Out

Last time on Daredevil 101, Matt was still pretending to be a) dead and b) a Brand-New Super Badass Armored Daredevil. Well, that’s all about to come crashing down when writer J.M. DeMatteis and artist Ron Wagner take over!

[Content warning: violence against sex workers, brief discussion of transphobia, fatshaming/body policing, a lot of discussion/portrayal of mental illness and suicidal ideation.]

We begin with Matt thoroughly disgusted with this new life he’s chosen for himself:

So I’m guessing DeMatteis didn’t enjoy the Daredevil comics immediately preceding his run?

Anyway it’s good to know Matt’s been doing his squats.

But Matt’s not just cranky about his new life - he’s forgetting things, losing time, waking up in unexpected places...

...which is pretty dangerous when you lead the kind of life Matt does.

Meanwhile, Foggy encounters an unexpected visitor:

Yes, it’s...Original Daredevil! Or someone claiming to be the OG Daredevil, at least. He flirts affectionately yet cryptically with Foggy, then scampers away, leaving Foggy feeling very confused.

Meanwhile, Matt, between crimefighting bouts, is thinking a lot about Glori, and having bloody, disturbing nightmares:

In the morning, he discovers that this particular nightmare has crossed over into waking life:

While Matt was asleep, someone shredded his armor, which is tricky because it’s...you know, armor. Plus there’s the threatening note. Who could it be? An old enemy? The mysterious yellow Daredevil?

With his armor ruined, Matt puts on his old red costume and heads to "his” grave - or at least, the grave that has his name on it and Hellspawn’s body buried beneath it. But when he gets there, the grave has been dug up. Matt panics, thinking maybe Hellspawn has come back to life:

After tearing up his fingers, Matt gets deep enough in the grave to discover that there is a body in there - but then he realizes he’s not alone:

Yep, Karen’s been spotting Yellow Daredevil around town and instinct led her out to Matt’s grave. Awwwkward.

Matt panics and bolts, leaving Karen even more confused than before. She meets with Foggy the next day to discuss all of these Daredevils running around and who they might be...or not be:

I do really love Karen and Foggy’s friendship, which is decades-long and very deep and sincere, whether Matt’s around or not. Anyway this conversation is interesting to me because the meta references to “the way [Daredevil] used to be back in the old [days]” is the sort of thing you would see a lot in comics from about ten years ago, but not so much twenty years ago, when this was published. Foggy’s ahead of the game, I guess! (And as despairing as this story is, it does foretell a brief return to a cheerful, swashbuckling Daredevil, which I always enjoy.)

(...And yes, both Karen and Yellow Daredevil stepping in on that last panel are policing Foggy’s breakfast/concern-trolling him, because of course they are.]

Anyway, speak of the devil...

Yellow Daredevil insists that he is the original Daredevil, that Red Daredevil (who Karen knows to be Matt) was second, and that Armored Daredevil is third, and a pretender to the throne. Then he scampers away, all giddy and devil-may-care.

Three things to note:

1. Cool assault, Yellow Daredevil. >:(

2. “I know for a fact that till now, there’s only been one Daredevil!” Why isn’t Foggy saying “Uh, Karen, what about Mike Murdock, the original Daredevil?”

3. If those are all $50s, Yellow Daredevil’s laying down $200 right there. How expensive are these bagels???

Meanwhile, Matt fights the villain of this storyline, a massive and incredibly strong murderer called “Sir.” I have not included any panels with Sir because this is one of the most viciously transphobic storylines I have ever encountered (guess what Sir’s big secret is, and why they love masculinity and hate women!) and honestly I don’t want to put that imagery in anyone’s eyes. But be forewarned if you decide to go looking for this storyline on your own.

Anyway, Sir steals Matt’s (red) costume for the totemic masculine power of it or whatever, so now Matt doesn’t have the black armored costume or the red one. Also, it’s a pretty brutal fight that does a number on him both physically and emotionally.

While all this is going on, Karen puts two and two together, and decides to take action:

That’s not a helpful answer, Karen.

(No, Foggy’s “older brother” is never mentioned again. I think we can safely discard him as a continuity glitch.)

Meanwhile, Yellow Daredevil has realized that he doesn’t know who he is. He’s not Murdock - Murdock was the second Daredevil - but then where does that leave him?

It was Matt the whole time!!! (Honestly, I was legit surprised by this the first time I read this storyline.) The swashbuckler, the grim avenger, the conman, the depressive...they’re all Matt.

That said, Matt is disassociating strongly enough to have created a whole separate personality he didn’t know about, which is a little bit more than just an identity crisis. (Apologies for the inexact or perhaps incorrect terminology - I am not a mental health professional and neither is DeMatteis. Just doing my best to describe the plot in layman’s terms!) So what triggered this sudden breakdown?

Remember Man Without Fear, when Matt accidentally pushed a prostitute out a window and she fell to her death? Well, it seems he suppressed that memory out of guilt, but Glori’s similar death by falling has dredged it up again, and his split personality was an attempt to escape that guilt.

Unable to copy with any of this, he basically goes catatonic - and that’s when Karen and Foggy find him:

It took thirty years, but Foggy finally learned his best friend’s biggest secret(s). There is less crying here than in “Nelson v. Murdock,” but there is the biggest bathroom in the world, so...there’s that?

Next up: the aftermath.

The war for New York City is beginning and Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist are needed on deck! Watch the first trailer for The Defenders.

Courtesy of NETFLIX

Since we found out last summer that NETFLIX had The Defenders in the works, we’ve been so excited!

It reminds me of Avengers. Yes, we adore each individual characters and look forward to those films, but there’s something so epic about all that Marvel star-power joining together to face off against a big-bad and save the world. I have the exact same feeling about the upcoming The Defenders series.

This morning NETFLIX shared the first official trailer from the series and there’s so much action-adventurey, hilarious goodness.

Within the first seconds of the trailer, we watch these (not so separate) worlds collide, as Misty Knight (Simone Missick) interrogates a handcuffed Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter). They don’t get very far before Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox) steps in and offers his legal services to a slightly confused Jessica.

It’s pretty amazing (and hilarious) to watch Matt, Jessica, Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Danny Rand/Iron Fist (Finn Jones) meet one another! From there, the story unfolds: the war for New York City is beginning and all four heroes will be needed on deck to make a stand against Sigourney Weaver’s villainous character.

Watch below:

Guys, I didn’t realize how much I missed Jessica Jones until I watched that trailer. Her snark and badassery give me so much life! And did you see that Elektra (Elodie Yung) might maybe be back?

What are you most looking forward to in The Defenders?

Check out 15 images from the upcoming series (out August 18), which give us more of a glimpse into this awesome team up.

Courtesy of NETFLIX

Marvel’s The Defenders follows Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones). A quartet of singular heroes with one common goal – to save New York City. This is the story of four solitary figures, burdened with their own personal challenges, who realize they just might be stronger when teamed together.

Is Luke Cage Really Returning To The MCU?

Date: 2019-11-01 20:00:05

While we’re still waiting on official confirmation of the rumor that Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, will appear in the upcoming third Spider-Man movie as Peter Parker’s lawyer, it seems the fate of one of Cox’s co-stars on Netflix’s The Defenders might be starting to take shape.

Parfois la meilleure défense, c’est l’attaque

Fiche

Intégré au Marvel Cinematic Universe Titre The Defenders Titre VO Marvel’s The Defenders Créateurs Douglas Petrie, Marco Ramirez Acteurs Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, Finn Jones, Elodie Yung, Jessica Henwick, Scott Glenn, Sigourney Weaver, Rosario Dawson Saison 1 Nombre d’épisodes 8 Date de sortie 18 / 08 / 2017 Format 55 mn Genre Action, Drame, Fantastique, Science fiction, Thriller Chaîne: Netflix

Un ninja aveugle. Une détective impertinente. Un ancien détenu résistant aux balles. Un milliardaire amateur de kung-fu. Marvel’s The Defenders suit les aventures de quatre super-héros solitaires contraints de mettre leurs problèmes personnels de côté pour combattre ensemble un groupe de criminels menaçant de détruire la ville de New York.

Une alcoolo, un gamin de riche, un aveugle et un ancien taulard entrent dans un ascenseur…

Critique

La dernière fois qu’on avait eu droit à des super-héros se réunissant pour la première fois afin d’affronter une menace commune, ça avait donné un des plus grands films de super-héros de tous les temps : Avengers. Cinq ans plus tard, leurs collègues de la rue s’y mettent à leur tour.

Vous savez combien j’attendais The Defenders, surtout que les différents super-héros composant le groupe ont eu droit à des solides séries solos. Le tout avec un ton unique pour chacun d’entre eux. D’ailleurs, ce point est intelligemment représenté au début de la série avec une couleur dominante pour chaque élément du quatuor. C’est la première étape qu’entreprend la série Marvel en se concentrant d’abord à mettre tout le monde sur la même note via une intrigue en toile d’araignée.

Truc très cool même si logique, The Defenders commence là où les séries se sont arrêtées. Les trois premiers épisodes sonnent comme des épisodes de nouvelle saison pour chacun des héros. Ainsi, il est très fortement conseillé d’avoir maté les aventures solos avant de commencer celle-ci. D’autant plus que l’ennemi n’est pas inconnu. Il est celui de Daredevil et Iron Fist. Sauf que cette fois-ci, il porte un nouveau visage. Celui d’Alexandra, incarné par l’une des femmes les plus badass au monde, que dis-je, de l’univers : Sigourney Weaver.

Ripley écrasée face aux Defenders, mais sauvée par son arme

Me concernant, elle est au cœur de ma plus grosse déception de cette réunion. S’affichant comme le boss ultime, elle souffre d’un manque cruel de charisme. Il n’était pourtant pas évident de passer après Wilson Fisk, Kilgrave ou Madame Gao. Néanmoins, j’y croyais dur comme fer. Sigourney Weaver serait capable, non mieux, elle allait s’imposer. Après tout, n’a-t-elle pas survécu à l’arme parfaite, l’Alien ? Malheureusement, elle est introduite dans une position de faiblesse. Cette donnée pourtant nécessaire pour accélérer les évènements fait malheureusement d’Alexandra, un personnage ne provoquant jamais l’inquiétude. Par la suite, on essaie de rétablir sa réputation comme en obligeant Madame Gao à lui faire des courbettes. Mais pas mal d’éléments font d’elle, une sorte de Wilson Fisk du pauvre. Sans l’aura magnétique et inquiétante de Vincent D’Onofrio.

Merde alors. Une œuvre super-héroïque classique ne peut fonctionner sans un antagoniste digne du protagoniste, même s’il est pluriel comme ici… Fort heureusement celui-ci émergera de la saison 2 de Daredevil sous la forme d’Elektra. Si elle m’avait plutôt plu dans la série consacrée au démon de Hell’s Kitchen, elle brille d’un feu bien plus ardent dans The Defenders. Ses apparitions en croque-mitaine lui confèrent une certaine classe (excellente scène d’ouverture pour la série). Sa relation amoureuse avec Matt Murdock est tragiquement superbe (je n’oublierais jamais ce plan où elle s’allonge sur son lit). Mon coup de cœur va amplement pour son magnifique costume. De loin, le meilleur pour un Marvel de Netflix. Néanmoins, elle (comme le monde dans un James Bond) ne suffit pas.

La Main, d’un groupe terrifiant vers des antagonistes dépassés

C’est la surprise du chef. Mais pas une succulente. Plutôt du brûlé. Je suis assez effaré par la manière dont ils ont, en quelques épisodes, ruiné toute la dangerosité de la Main. Dans la saison 2 de Daredevil, elle était terrifiante et semblait sans limites. Dans Iron Fist, on en découvrait seulement une branche et c’était déjà dense. Dans The Defenders, on découvre les cinq doigts qui forment la Main et, mes mots sont durs mais je les trouve juste, ça casse le mythe. Seule Madame Gao réussit à convaincre, comme toujours. Problème, un index n’est rien sans les autres doigts.

J’ai même l’impression qu’au fur et à mesure que la saison avance, la Main s’est réduite à un simple gang de quartier malgré que leurs cinq chefs soient réunis. La Main a-t-elle claqué tout son budget dans les précédentes saisons ? Toutefois, tout n’est pas à jeter. Déjà, cela permet de découvrir l’objectif véritable de l’organisation et d’en connaître un peu plus sur son fonctionnement. J’ai trouvé cela intéressant. Seulement, il est dommage de s’être réduit à un simple affrontement direct alors que la logique aurait plutôt valu d’essayer de faire monter la sauce crescendo tel un serpent qui s’entoure autour de sa proie avant de serrer progressivement jusqu’à un final qui aurait opposé les Defenders aux chefs de la Main.

Au final, cela donne un groupe de vilain assez lambda n’ayant jamais provoqué chez moi l’inquiétude ou l’empathie. On sait comment ça va finir avant l’heure. Jamais, je ne me suis inquiété pour nos héros tant la Main semble faible. Non, mais sérieusement, cette Alexandra en Némésis ? Elle semble si fragile qu’elle donne l’impression qu’une simple bourrasque pourrait la faire tomber par terre pour la briser en mille morceaux.

Le meilleur personnage sur la photo n’est pas celui que j’imaginais.

Une réunion mitigée

Encore une fois, comme du côté des vilains, la réunion des héros m’a laissé avec un goût amer. Il y a du bon et du moins bon. Tout d’abord, j’ai adoré retrouver les quatre. Surtout que The Defenders peut être qualifié comme une nouvelle saison pour chacun d’entre eux. Si la première rencontre entre Luke Cage et Iron Fist est fendard, je regrette malgré tout l’absence d’alchimie entre les acteurs. La faute notamment à des dialogues assez pauvres. Aucune punchline réellement marquante à se mettre sous la dent. Pire même, on est goinfré d’une succession de punchlines tombant à plat. Mention spéciale à Jessica Jones en la matière. La pauvre risque de souffrir sévère pour capter l’attention dans sa deuxième saison, maintenant que Kilgrave n’est plus là. Au final, les seules alchimies réellement notables sont à attribuer aux duos Luke Cage/Jessica Jones et Matt Murdock/Jessica Jones (encore elle !). Elle a peut-être une chance.

Le pire reste malgré tout l’implication des acteurs principaux secondaires des séries solo comme Karen, Foggy, Misty, Malcolm et j’en passe. Une implication trop chargée, car d’un, elle ruine le rythme, de deux, c’est tellement forcé et banal que ça a fini par m’agacer et de trois, ça ne sert à rien. Heureusement que la Colleen Wing est là. Déjà indispensable dans Iron Fist, elle est le seul personnage secondaire à réellement avoir une utilité. Les showrunners ne se sont pas trompés avec elle. Je termine ce paragraphe avec une dédicace à Claire Temple. Bon là, sérieusement, je n’en peux plus. JE N’EN PEUX PLUS. C’est possible d’être aussi mauvais sans le faire exprès ?

Après Iron Fist, les combats ont-ils été rehaussés ?

On en avait pas mal parlé des combats sur la série consacrée au jeune milliardaire. Personnellement, j’avais plutôt aimé même s’il fallait reconnaître quelques faiblesses. Malheureusement, à part avec quelques coups d’éclat comme la classique scène d’action dans le couloir de l’épisode 3 Comportement déplorable, The Defenders suit le même chemin. La faute notamment à un Luke Cage et un Jessica Jones toujours aussi limités dans ce registre. Je me demande à chaque fois comme cette dernière réussit à tenir le coup face à des experts en arts martiaux. Ok, elle a une super force, mais c’est tout… C’est d’ailleurs ce point qui rend le suspense quasiment nul. En effet, comment s’inquiéter de leur sort quand ils ne semblent jamais mal en point.

Par ailleurs, c’est ambitieux de vouloir faire des plans-séquences de batailles avec les quatre héros qui se battent en même temps façon Avengers. Mais s’il vous plaît, faites en sorte qu’on ne voit pas que les coups sont portés à vingt centimètres du visage. Non seulement, ça rend la pirouette du cascadeur assez ridicule, mais en plus, ça me sort du combat. On pouvait imaginer qu’avec seulement huit épisodes, ils allaient en profiter pour les soigner, mais j’ai l’impression qu’ils semblent sans cesse pris par les temps et bouclent ces derniers le plus rapidement possible. Iron Fist n’est donc pas une erreur de parcours. Il serait peut-être temps de revoir le calendrier afin de laisser plus de temps aux techniciens de pondre des cascades dignes de ce nom ou d’embaucher des réalisateurs qui puissent les rendre immersifs. Car les deux premières saisons de Daredevil prouvent qu’ils peuvent le faire.

Après une petite pause réflexion, je pense que si Daredevil se montre aussi convaincant, c’est surtout parce que le costume lui permet une doublure efficace, alors qu’Iron Fist est entièrement visible. Pour preuve, l’un de ses meilleurs combats est lorsqu’il est affublé d’une capuche. Le doter d’un costume est alors plus qu’urgent.

Une réalisation classique, mais c’est quoi ce truc ridicule

Je termine cette critique à la hauteur de ma déception avec un mot pour ces séquences qui font l’intermédiaire entre deux scènes. Ces fameuses petites vidéos avec des plans furtifs de New York et du métro. Non, mais je trouve que c’est une faute de goût majuscule. Comment est-il possible de laisser de telles séquences dans un show majeur de 2017 ? Je m’étais cru revenu dans ma jeunesse, un vendredi soir sur France 2 devant un épisode de PJ… Celle de Saint-Martin.

Par Christophe Menat qui compte sur le Punisher, le 28 août 2017.

“Je ne suis pas sûr que tu sois aveugle. Il me semble t’avoir vu dans Downton Abbey et tu ne l’étais pas, non ?”

Conclusion

Je l’attendais comme l’apothéose des séries Marvel pour Netflix, mais finalement, The Defenders se révèle être celle que j’ai le moins aimé. Tout semble être monté trop vite et sans grande inspiration. Conclusion d’une intrigue amorcée depuis la première saison de Daredevil, la série souffre d’antagonistes faiblards à l’exception d’Elektra, de combats coup-de-poing-dans-le-vide-mais-qui-fait-voler-le-cascadeur, d’une réalisation avec une énorme faute de goût (ces petites vidéos de New York faisant le liant entre deux scènes, my god), d’une écriture peu inspirée (alors que c’était le point fort de ces shows) et d’une absence de réelle alchimie entre tous les membres des Defenders. Au final, ça reste une sympathique saison typiquement Marvel pour Netflix. Ça se visionne en mode goinfre, mais malheureusement on en sort indemne. J’espère que, comme l’annonce la scène post-générique, le Punisher va rehausser le niveau de cet univers qui commence à tanguer dangereusement.

Retrouver tout ce joli monde dans une seule série

Huit épisodes avec un rythme soutenu, c’est l’idéal

Elektra superbement badass

alright mike-enjoyers, this can't be an accident, right? like. this has gotta be on purpose, right?

after mike murdock becomes a real person, the first place we see him is 'the bar with no name.' in ish 7 of vol 8, matt encounters wolverine possessed by the demon lust in 'the bar with no name.'

after having a rather transformative fight where lust is exorcised from wolverine and matt's white suit is stained red, we are given the above line from logan about matt 'denying' who he is.

so far, each demon has represented a sin that matt has committed by continuing to deny who he really is (daredevil). mike murdock's character was invented by matt to express parts of himself that he denies. mike murdock was also originally daredevil (according to the lies that matt told).

with this particular demon, lust, it is referencing not only matt's lust for a fight, but his lust for life and how he defines it. that includes taking risks, doing morally gray things, living on the edge etc. matt expressing those parts of himself was the original intent of mike's character/persona.

not only that, I feel like the bright shirt matt is wearing could be a nod to mike as well. but logan (standing in the bar where mike was introduced as a real person) and talking about how matt needs to make 'peace' rather than 'denying' himself feels like a pretty clear nod to me.

Este fin de semana se celebró la Comic Con de San Diego 2017, un evento en el que las grandes productoras y demás agentes nos ponen los dientes largos a base de tráilers espectaculares y presentaciones que mataríamos por ver en carne y hueso. Este año Netflix ha aprovechado para presentar los tráilers de series como Stranger Things 2, Bright, Death Note, Marvel – The Defenders y Star Trek: Discovery.

La verdad es que Netflix tiene material de interés para aburrir, pero con la San Diego Comic Con tocaba tirar de material friki y con tres series como Stanger Things, The Defenders o Star Trek: Discovery ya despertaban nuestro interés, la frikada de fantasía urbana contempóranea de Will Smitth, Bright, es un broche de oro junto a la película de Death Note. A continuación os ofrecemos la información que Netflix nos ha remitido sobre cada una de estas producciones.

Marvel – The Defenders

Marvel – The Defenders, que se estrenará a nivel global el próximo 18 de agosto a las 9:01 h, sigue la historia de Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) y Danny Rand/Iron Fist (Finn Jones), un cuarteto de héroes únicos con una meta en común: salvar la ciudad de Nueva York. Esta es la historia de cuatro personas solitarias que viven con sus propios retos y se dan cuenta de que quizá serían más fuertes si trabajasen juntos.

La serie llega tras los estrenos de Marvel – Daredevil, Marvel – Jessica Jones, Marvel – Luke Cage y Marvel – Iron Fist.

Marvel – The Defenders está protagonizada por Charlie Cox, (Matt Murdock/Daredevil), Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones), Mike Colter (Luke Cage) y Finn Jones (Danny Rand/Iron Fist). El reparto también incluye a la actriz nominada al Oscar Sigourney Weaver (Alexandra), Elodie Yung (Elektra), Scott Glenn (Stick), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), Carrie-Anne Moss (Jeri Hogarth), Rachael Taylor (Trish Walker), Eka Darville (Malcolm Ducasse), Simone Missick (Misty Knight) y Jessica Henwick (Colleen Wing).

Marco Ramirez y Doug Petrie son los productores ejecutivos de Marvel – The Defenders junto con Jeph Loeb. La serie es una producción de Marvel Television con ABC Studios para Netflix.

Marvel – Iron Fist: confirmación de segunda temporada

Death Note

Basada en el famoso manga japonés de Tsugumi Ohba y Takeshi Obata, Death Note narra la historia de un estudiante de instituto que encuentra un cuaderno sobrenatural y comprende el inmenso poder que trae consigo: si el dueño escribe el nombre de alguien en sus páginas mientras piensa en su rostro, esa persona morirá. Jugando a ser Dios, el joven comienza a acabar con la vida de aquellos que cree que deben morir.

La película original de Netflix está dirigida por Adam Wingard (La bruja de Blaire, Tú eres el siguiente) y cuenta entre su reparto con Nat Wolff (Ciudades de papel), Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers), Lakeith Stanfield (Déjame salir), Paul Nakauchi (Piratas del Caribe: En el fin del mundo), Shea Whigham (La gran estafa americana) y Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man).

Star Trek: Discovery

Star Trek: Discovery seguirá los viajes de Starfleet en sus misiones para descubrir nuevos mundos y nuevos organismos vivos, así como la historia de un oficial de Starfleet que deberá aprender que para entender todo lo relacionado con los alienígenas, primero debes conocerte y comprenderte a ti mismo.

Star Trek, una de las franquicias televisivas más icónicas y de mayor influencia, regresa a la televisión 50 años después de su primer estreno con Star Trek: Discovery. La serie incluirá una nueva nave, nuevos personajes y misiones, pero mantendrá el mismo espíritu e ilusión por el futuro que inspiró a una generación de soñadores.

Star Trek: Discovery es una producción de CBS Television Studios en asociación con Secret Hideout de Alex Kurtzman, Living Dead Guy Productions de Bryan Fuller y Roddenberry Entertainment. Alex Kurtzman, Bryan Fuller, Heather Kadin, Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts, Akiva Goldsman, Rod Roddenberry y Trevor Roth son los productores ejecutivos de este proyecto.

Bright

Ambientada en un presente alternativo donde los seres humanos, orcos, duendes y hadas han convivido desde el inicio de los tiempos, este thriller de acción de David Ayer sigue la vida de dos policías con perfiles muy distintos. Ward, un ser humano interpretado por Will Smith y Jakoby (Joel Edgerton) un orco, inician una guardia nocturna que cambiará el futuro. Mientras se enfrentan tanto a sus diferencias personales así como a sus enemigos, también deberán trabajar juntos para proteger a una joven elfo y una reliquia perdida que, al caer en las manos equivocadas, podría destruirlo todo.

La película original de Netflix está protagonizada por Will Smith, Joel Edgerton, Noomi Rapace, Lucy Fry, Edgar Ramirez, Ike Barinholtz, Enrique Murciano, Jay Hernandez, Andrea Navedo, Verónica Ngo, Alex Meraz, Margaret Cho, Brad William Henke, Dawn Olivieri y Kenneth Choi. El filme está dirigido por David Ayer y escrito por Max Landis. David Ayer, Eric Newman y Bryan Unkeless son los productores ejecutivos. Bright se estrenará en Netflix el próximo 22 de diciembre.

Stranger Things 2

Un año después, los ciudadanos de Hawkins (Indiana) aún se están recuperando de los horrores del Demogorgon y de los misteriosos sucesos ocurridos en el laboratorio. Will Byers ha regresado del Mundo del Revés, pero un ente más grande y siniestro sigue amenazando a los que han sobrevivido.
