Marvel's Daredevil

     Okay, I know that Mark Steven Johnson's version of Daredevil wasn't really well received. But I, personally, liked it. It could have been that I spent a year or so of my childhood messing around with sais and loved the character part of Elektra and Jennifer Garner was always one of my more favorite actresses. I was a little skeptical when I heard about the rebooted TV series.

BUT HOLY COW!

     The show was beyond amazing! 

     The cast is great! 

     Matt Murdock/ Daredevil was played by Charlie Cox, who I'd only seen in a few movies previous to this one. He did an amazing job at making you care for the character. I was excited to see the iconic Daredevil suit at the end of the last episode. But the black outfit made Cox's build look very impressive. It created great silhouette's when the lighting hit just right.
     Franklin "Foggy" Nelson was played by the ever missed Elden Henson. When I was younger I had the world's largest crush on Elden. Well, more so on his character Fulton Reed from The Mighty Ducks. But I still find him highly adorable.
     Not to mention that they cast Deborah Ann Woll, from True Blood, as Karen Page; Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple; and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk.
     What I loved most about the show were the flashbacks. More times than not, when you come into the superhero fandom, everyone is well aware of the background of the characters. Or at least that's how the director's seem to think.
     The flashbacks about Kingpin are quite fascinating. They make you understand why he felt so strongly about changing Hell's Kitchen. His childhood was so unbelievably tormented that it almost makes you care and hope for his success.
     But alas, that obviously doesn't happen.
     If you haven't checked out the show, do so on Netflix. It's amazing and you won't regret it in the least.

Until tomorrow,
Ashley
