Devil Days

First Daredevil I read -early Frank Miller must of been 7 or 8 -found it kinda scary -always a good sign as far as comics go- I'm Totally hooked on Daredevil tv show -they've got it right-Matt, Foggy ,Karen ,The Kingpin , Elektra , The Punisher , Stick -totally how it should be in film form -far superior to movie that was made in the last decade -captures that vibe I got when I read these stories as a kid (much more menacing than any other superhero title back in the early 80's it's also great they went back to "The ,Man Without Fear" graphic novel from early 90's for first season and parts of season 2-which is like Daredevils year one - -only thing is where the hell is Bullseye ? DD's arch nemesis apart from The Kingpin -the dude in bowling alley episode would of made a great Lester -perhaps we'll see Bullseye in season 3 (it's gotta happen-and he's gotta have his iconic outfit not an Irish mush with a circle drawn on his head like the movie -shows been kinda of faithful in some respects hopefully old Bully will appear.)would be nice to see DD'S yellow costume too-I'm  sure his tailor can come up with a spare in case red one gets damaged -I'm  still having probs with playlists -not sure if this will go directly to parts 2 & 3 afterwards maybe a good thing if you don't want spoilers for season 3 as after John Romita JR 's interview it may contain the plot for future episodes. Charlies done a great job on show -didn't realize until today that he's a Brit -he shouldn't complain about his age -I'd say Matt in my estimation would be in his 30's I was reading comic before he was even born lol-gawd sometimes I feel ancient then realize hell of alot of people waayy older than me-so it's ok lol
This dude totally nailed the Kingpin -Wilson Fisk in some ways you have sympathy for him especially when he's a little kid what he goes through with his bastard of a father -but of course he's the bad guy -but he's bloody good at it ... the kid that bullied by the Drill Sergeant in Full Metal Jacket -perfect sense the casting here Foggy & the lovely Karen Daredevil wouldn't be complete without Elektra -Elodie 's great too - hope she's in season 3 didn't take long to resurrect her in The Defenders Love this guys take on The Punisher -I'm reminded of DeNiro's take on Jake Le Motta - more on the side of DD's take on justice -gonna have his own show you actually care about Frank even though he's all rage. Really smart move coming up with The Defenders -got me to check out the original shows -Power Man after my Daredevil binge I may even re-watch all of Jessica Jones again also a cool show.Gonna see if this gives away any clues to what Marvel & Netflix have up there sleeves for the future....
