All the Marvel D+ side projects seem to be a lot better than the flicks at the moment - and I get the feeling that there's less "weight" put on them, either to be massively commercial or fit into a particular mould or timeline, so the writers and directors have more room to play with the material.

 

I'm really not sure where they're taking this one from the pretty darn grimdark trailer, but if D'Onofrio signed off on it and looks to be enjoying it, could be interesting...

Caught this trailer over the weekend.

 

They could make a series where D'Onofrio's Fisk sat in a chair and read Dostoevsky aloud, or discussed the flight speed of various birds and I'd watch it.

 

Twice.

Yeah Vince D is the only thing appealing to me.  Wasn't impressed by the character Echo in Hawkeye mini-series (then again not impressed by Kate Bishop either).  Belova was the highlight.  Well and the Russian mafia bro's.

I admit to being surprised by the level of brutality.  I'd been told that Vinny D would be playing Fisk in a less violent interpretation for the MCU.  This makes me wonder what the Daredevil reboot will be like. (I'd heard that too would have been more family friendly).

Given that some of the Karen Page storylines are supposed to be in Born Again, not to mention Jon Bernthal returning as Punisher... hmm. Good luck with that idea.

 

...but "family friendly" can be relative. You can let the audience picture things that are happening without actually showing them - and they'll usually imagine something much worse. Then hit them with occasional bits of proper gruesome when they least expect it. (See Netflix's Fall Of The House Of Usher for a good recent illustration of how this works, although they didn't exactly skimp on the nasty. Kinda wish they had for the final death, which also shows when showing stuff doesn't work nearly as well as anything the audience could imagine.)
