So I think where we’re at exactly timeline wise: -S3 ends -Blip happens -5 years during the blip Fisk gets out of jail. Fisk has Ronin kill Echo’s dad. Murdock fights Echo. No clue if Foggy/Karen/Vanessa were blipped. -X-Mas of ‘25 Hawkeye happens. Echo shoots Fisk. -Around the same time is the opening scene and Foggys death (probably a month or two earlier?) -During the 1 year time skip. Vanessa nurses Fisk back and he leaves NYC. Events of Echo. Vanessa becomes QueenPin. -Fisk returns to NYC, Becomes Mayor, NYE ‘26 -As of ep2 we’re early ‘27 -Spring of ‘27 CA:BNW takes place
Was also too dark for all the awesome Bullseye killing. He killed like 8 people and got 10 knives stuck in Matt and I could barely see any of it.
Wonder if all the reshoots had an effect on the budget. The first two episodes have been pretty banging tho. Fisk is pretty intimidating, enjoying the courtroom/trial stuff as well.
Well we know Foggy/Karen/OG Vanessa werent in the original version at all. My guess is majority of Ep1 was reshoots. Could also tell the awkward therapy session was. I bet they CGI’d Vanessa into that as well.
Im interested how far they take the Punisher symbol law enforcement angle. Every creative has come out and spoken that Punisher is not BlueLivesMatter. Let’s see how political Disney makes it.
Oh fuck. Easter Egg involving that shocking opening scene and what could be a big twist: Spoiler The address for their law firm was 468. Daredevil 468 is “The Secret Life of Foggy Nelson” where he fakes his death and enters witness protection without Matt/Karen knowing.
Spoiler Pretty sure this is the route they are going. Spoiler Think I saw it was confirmed the actor is signed on for another season unless it’s for flashbacks or he’s a ghost/DD seeing shit
Such a great start. Love that Netflix took this daredevil angle with the show years ago and that Disney is keeping the same theme. Can’t wait to see how it plays out.
I was trying to find the original plan but can't seem to find it anymore. I know I've seen it and glad they changed it up. Would you mind reminding me what they had planned?
So the OG plan was like a 24 episode court procedural. I think they described it as Law and Order in Hells Kitchen. No Karen or Foggy. Vanessa was recast because they wanted it to be MCU-adjacent not 616. After shooting for a while Cox/D’Onofrio reached out to Feige to say this isn’t working at all. IIRC the story is Murdock didn’t even get into a fight till the end of episode 4. So they scrapped most of the decision makers and started over.
Yeah the little I read was where they were originally wanting to ignore most of the Netflix stuff. Episodes 1, 8 and 9 are all new. And the new guys had limited resources to work with what they had already shot and add what they could. I’m assuming thats why the first fight scene was dimly lit with wonky CGI.
That always weirds me out when I see trucks with a punisher skull with the blue lives matter flag on it. Punisher hates the shit outta cops and kills a bunch of them. Thats part of the reason he became a vigilante is because of crooked cops.
This was one of the original episodes. This and part of ep 2 were the original episodes 1&2. I liked that episode quite a bit. But I wouldn’t like that 12 times in a row.
Tiny RIP Easter egg in the credits. Also, BD on Phase Hero has seen the whole season and has interviews with the directors after each episode:
So I read this issue and one point from ep3 Spoiler So the person behind Foggys fake death was Vanessa and people in the FBI that work for her. The line “I don’t work for the mayor I work for the man.” Was basically the same and referring to Vanessa.
This does feel a little disjointed right now. Minorly disappointed to start but could quickly get great.
Im just not sure. Odd they say his name so much and yet we haven’t heard them say “cheat” or “affair” or “banging”.
This is just a wild guess… Spoiler What if Adam never was? He’s probably a side piece but I’m getting some Godfather 2 vibes for some reason. If Vanessa wasn’t blipped her and Fisk had 5 years together. Plenty of time for her to get pregnant and “take care of it” but telling him it was a miscarriage.
I also have no idea what any of the theories in here are talking about but I enjoyed the first 3 episodes. Was not aware that DD could take getting stabbed 45 times and act like nothing happened. Thought he was just a great fighter with insane senses not the typical hero invulnerability type thing.
