“It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season,” DeKnight wrote on X/Twitter. “Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!”
Makes no sense if it’s the same premise, same major characters and basically the same recipe as the original – which seems to be its selling point. But the mouse fucks over whoever it can.
It’s going to be some kind of a soft reboot. It won’t be the same show. It’s not even going to have Karen and Foggy.
I don’t know if it’ll be good, or not. I just know, it won’t be a 4th season of The Daredevil we know.
Weird that they didn’t hire back the two best characters on the show, especially since Deborah Ann Woll has made it clear she’s still interested.
If Deborah Ann Woll wants to be in their show and Deborah Ann Woll is not in their show, I fear a lot of bad decisions are going into the production of their show.
That will be the sticking point. If this is a continuation of the Netflix series, resetting the contract terms will be messed up.
If it’s not a continuation, it’s still kind of messed up that they’re going with the less generous contract terms. I also personally think that would be a bad decision just from a creative standpoint. People wanted more of the Netflix Daredevil, not Disney-fied Daredevil with some of the same actors.
Get ready for CGI fest Daredevil. Remember him doing CGI backflips and shit in She-Hulk? Welcome to Disney’s Daredevil haha.
Unchecked corporate greed continues… Support the writers and actors! ✊
We were able to reign it in a bit when corporations and the rich were heavily taxed and unions were much stronger and more prevalent. The last fifty years have eroded that away. We need the reign it in again. ✊
STOP. SIGNING. CONTRACTS. WITH. DISNEY
Also: please for the love of god stop buying media associated with disney, just pirate it
Or just don’t watch it all. If its not worthy your money, its probably shouldn’t be worth your time.
Part of the issue is that Disney’s media group continues to put out high quality content year after year. Plus their services like theme parks remain in high demand after several years of steep price hikes. How do you compete with that?
They mention that it is “an old Disney scam”, are there other examples of this? I can’t think of any but I’m curious to know how those other examples played out.
I’m not being sarcastic, check out every single Disney series that runs longer than a few seasons. Every. Single. One.
Much like a CEO that gets fired by the shareholders if he misses and avenue for profit, I have no doubt that CEO would fire producers that didn’t do the same thing.
I thought his inclusion in She-Hulk was fun, and it was nice to see a more lighthearted take on the character. Having said that, though, I hope the tone of the Disney series is mostly like the original.
Yes. What I wish from Marvel television is a buch of different series, different genres, and tones, who still exist in the same world and occasionally interact with each other. Thats what Marvel comics do.
We were getting that with the Netflix and even ABC shows. Sadly, they’ve gone for quantity over quality with the Disney+ shows and nothing TV-MA exists in the MCU anymore. The new book that shows the official timeline completely leaves out all shows that weren’t made for Disney+.
Really, not even the issues where Daredevil pretended to have a twin brother, Mike Murdock, to throw Karen and Foggy off his trail after Spider-Man sent them a handwritten letter telling them he knows Matt is Daredevil?
I mean I certainly prefer the grittier Daredevil that Frank Miller helped define, but initially he was kind of a knockoff of Spider-Man and had some sillier adventures
