Daredevil: 5 Reasons to Be Excited for the Netflix Marvel Series
The MCU's about to get dark, thanks to The Man Without Fear.
3 Apr 2015 By Matt Fowler
The countdown is on for Friday, April 10th. Not only are we getting a brand new Netflix series, but it's freakin' Marvel's Daredevil! The first of Netflix/Marvel's "Defenders" shows - the darker "Street Level Heroes" stories that will also include AKA Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist.
And since Daredevil's the most famous of the bunch, ol' Matt Murdock gets the honors of going first. 13 episodes of Hell's Kitchen chaos brought to us by genre maestros Drew Goddard (Buffy, Lost, The Cabin in the Woods) and Steven S. DeKnight (Buffy, Angel, Spartacus).
Of course, we're assuming you're already as super-psyched for this show as we are. But here are some thing that may make you even more excited. Some non-spoilery odds and ends we've learned after watching the first five episodes: things that make/help Daredevil stand out from the rest of the MCU.
It's Dark
As you could probably tell from the trailers, this show is dark, both literally and thematically. With Matt Murdock's Daredevil donning the famous Frank Miller all-black attire (at least at the outset) and battling crooks and thugs while mostly cloaked in the shadow of night, this is a dimly lit series. Purposefully, of course. Meant to evoke a very "gritty, 1970s New York feel," said showrunner DeKnight, explaining the Mean Streets/Scorsese-esque feel of the show.
Visuals aside though, Daredevil is a grim, intense show. It's not a hard R, but it is a rather coarse PG-13. This is the first MCU property that's not fully appropriate for kids who enjoy the movies. If you're looking for the MCU's version of Batman, or even the intense, grounded sensibilities that Christopher Nolan brought to his Caped Crusader movies, this is it. Our hero breaks bones. He resorts to torture. He leaves his enemies shattered and broken. If you thought Steve Rogers had issues with Tony Stark's flippancy and/or tactics, he'd have a hell of a lot to complain about here given Matt Murdock's style of justice.
So this is the first MCU project to look and feel vastly different than the movies (or even ABC's Agents of SHIELD, which mostly sticks to the movies' tone). Jon Favreau's Iron Man basically set the mold for what the Marvel movies are. The brighter skies, the humor, the drama, the humor (again). This is a giant step away from that. An exploration of how different heroes need different handling. Just like how all comic books don't look or feel the same.
Connection to MCU
So if Daredevil looks and feels different than the movies, how does it ultimately connect to the MCU? Well, for the most part it doesn't. It very much remains its own thing. And aside from a few mentions here and there of super-powered beings, Thor's hammer, and such, it keeps a very wide distance from that world. Whereas, if we look at Agents of SHIELD, the first MCU TV series, things are different. Most of the heroes on that show don't have powers, but they're totally immersed in the world of Avengers. Facing off against super-powered villains, Asgardians, Kree, and alien tech. Daredevil has none of that.
But here's one interesting way they've connected the story to the larger MCU picture. Daredevil was created back in the '60s, just a few months after the Kennedy Assassination, to play as a niche Irish Catholic hero. Residing in Hell's Kitchen - an NYC neighborhood that, at one time, was home to many Irish immigrants. As well as a buttload of crime. Well, Hell's Kitchen isn't really like that anymore. And since the story doesn't take place in the 60s and 70s, the decision was made to have the Chitauri's attack on New York be the catalyst for the story now in 2015. Hell's Kitchen has gone to pot because it was all but destroyed during the alien invasion. Which means it needs a hero to help prevent it all from being taken over by a new syndicate of crime lords (led my a mysterious figure whose name, like Voldemort's, is never mentioned).
Of course, there still aren't many references made to the Chitauri here. The catastrophic damage caused in The Avengers is now politely referred to as "The Incident."
Power Down
Okay, so it's not really true to say that Daredevil is a show devoid of superpowers, right? Daredevil himself has some extraordinary abilities. But here's the thing: they're not really played up as superpowers. In fact, it all sort of reminds us of a very recent episode of Agents of SHIELD where Coulson and Simmons had a conversation about possibly re-categorizing certain folks on their gifted list. There are Hulks and Thors and then there are "enhanced" individuals who can range from dangerous to docile.
Sure, Matt Murdock's origin story involves toxic waste, but he doesn't get the Spider-Man treatment. He can't flip a car or soar through the air. He has heightened senses and his abilities on the show are revealed to us rather slowly - if they're explained at all. We don't snap into "Daredevil Sonar Vision" when he's fighting. We just have to basically learn what he can do as the show progresses. He's an expert fighter, but he also gets his ass handed to him on a regular basis. And honestly, it's only his "abilities" that give him an extra leg up sometimes in a fight, preventing him from getting killed.
Two Sides to Every Story
With Steven S. DeKnight as Daredevil's showrunner, fans of his Spartacus series probably can't help but think about all the things he brought to that series as far as layered villains and complex adversaries. Spartacus, as a hero, basically faced down one big boss per season. And while that sounds rudimentary it was indicative of what sort of happened to Spartacus in real life - with Rome sending general after general to try and stop the rebellion. And in DeKnight's hands, the villains felt not only fleshed out and (at times) sympathetic, but they also felt wholly different from one another.
Daredevil also uses this model. While we follow Matt Murdock and his story (along with Foggy, Karen, and their fledgling law firm) we also spend a lot of time with the villains. And as the series movies along we begin to learn more and more about the various snake heads that Wilson Fisk is using to "rebuild" Hell's Kitchen. Madame Gao, Nobu, Leland Owlsley, Russians mobsters Vladimir and Anatoly. After a while, their stories start to take up as much time as Matt's.
Especially the story of Wilson Fisk. As DeKnight's stated already, this show is as much an origin story for The Kingpin as it is for Daredevil.
Fisk
So then, let's talk about Wilson Fisk. The massive, bald puppeteer behind Hell's Kitchen's brutal remake/remodel. We don't want to spoil too much here, but we will say that Vincent D'Onofrio's performance is one of the best parts of the series.
And look, if Fisk's presence, and story, is to take up a huge part of the show, you want a compelling performance. Something that draws you in. Sometime atypical to what you'd expect from the usual TV crime boss. A vulnerability and shyness that acts as a gripping antithesis to his hulking presence.
