Re: Daredevil (major spoilers)

[dethtoll]

I fucking love that show. It helped me get through a long week without my computer. I'd have to say my favorite character however is Owsley. That guy steals every scene he's in, and him getting killed off made me sad because no more exasperated old man snark.

Wesley's appeal is that he's a sharply dressed (even maybe a bit old-fashioned) good-looking professional with a snarky side. He's also a little on the thinner side which I think may play a factor.

I was also surprised at how well Fisk was played in this series. They did a lot to make him a sympathetic villain -- he's VERY intimidating, but also human, not just a cartoon character, and it's clear that he does have what could be argued to be a positive vision for Hell's Kitchen, he just goes about it in a very negative, harmful way as "a necessary evil." He comes off as legitimately pragmatic, and not just an evil asshole pretending to be pragmatic.

I'm also really grateful he didn't namedrop "kingpin" at any point in the series, not even in the final fight in the alley.

Speaking of fights, how 'bout that Oldboy homage eh?

Shit, Leland was a constant source of amusement; I honestly thought he was getting out alive, and then...well. He made me laugh then feel like a jerk for laughing. He was just the right kind of asshole; you can't hate him even though he's scum. This show had a lot of that for me.

I totally agree, Wesley is a good looking professional and I love his snark. I also found his distaste for violence kind of endearing. Which is crazy considering his job and the shit he threatens people with and orders on a regular basis, but it was a nice change to see an antagonist that didn't necessarily want to get their hands messy. Also, like I said, his devotion to Fisk felt oddly sweet so that helped make him more human in my eyes.

And Fisk was much better than I would've expected, but everything was really. I knew D'Orofrio was a talented actor, but I've never seen him so vicious and intimidating before. (And alternately, almost childlike and insecure in some scenes. It was an interesting contrast.) I liked his origin story, and even though I wasn't exactly willing him to succeed at any point, I appreciated that he didn't come off as simply power hungry. You see a lot of that with antagonists, and it can be boring. At least Fisk had a goal, and even if he was wrong I enjoyed watching him.

That fight scene was SO good. I was holding my breath in amazement/anticipation. Marvel did a good job of making the action in this brutal, yet entertaining as hell.
