Wow! LONG time, no update!
I've been active in social media, but neglecting my little-read blog. Now, however, is the perfect time to update. The comic book world is exciting and ever-growing; the multimedia aspect of it is at an all-time high and... Daredevil's second season hit last week. Like many, I've done my binging and done it right. What follows is a completely spoiler-less review. No easter eggs, just a bit of thought about the second season without any specifics whatsoever.
Basically, it's me rambling. Like I'm doing now...
I do not expect direct adaptations of comics. As a matter of fact, I kind of like a different spin on things. That way, as someone that's possibly read the source material, I don't know exactly what to expect. If I'm not familiar with the source, then when I do read it, I can get a little more out of it. I do, however, expect for adaptations to, at the very least, be true to the spirit of the work/characters being adapted. Like The Flash, Daredevil is fairly close to my heart and after finishing up Season 2 of the Netflix series, I can happily say all involved successfully captured the very essence of the characters and the overall depth of the world they live in. I've said before that the show pulls from Frank Miller's DD run and Garth Ennis' Punisher, but despite the inherent brilliance there (and I LOVE both), that thought actually shortchanges how well the show carves its own path. This is not Frank Miller's Daredevil, this is Marvel's Daredevil, capturing multiple eras and voices, condensing it into a clear, coherent vision all its own... and what a brilliant vision it is.
