‘DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN’ showrunner Dario Scardapane compares the show to ‘THE PENGUIN’:“We're even more grounded, even less stylized, even more rooted in the here and now. I loved ‘The Penguin’. We're a little faster, meaner, cleaner in our storytelling.”(Source: https://gamesradar.com/entertainment/sci-fi-movies/daredevil-born-again-showrunner-teases-that-the-mcu-show-is-even-more-grounded-than-dc-spin-off-the-penguin-going-as-far-as-a-disney-plus-show-has-ever-gone/)

Yeah, I read an article filled with quotes from this showrunner. Let me just say that I am now highly concerned about the direction this show will take. Still giving it a shot but lowering expectations. By a lot.

I don't think this is a bad thing. I took this to mean sticking to street level action and focusing on the Kingpin rather than dealing with mystical stuff like the Hand.

“I really feel that Netflix’s Daredevil, which I know in my blood, was much more noir, and this show is more New York crime story."

Problem is, that is one of the major reasons I loved the show. Taking this away will harm the show, IMO.

“One of our edicts was longer scenes,” Scardapane recalled of his time on The Punisher. “You had these long five-page scenes of characters hashing it out in order to make space between these massive action sequences. The way stuff has evolved since then, we’re able to do big action sequences at a lot more pace.”

Great! More action and less substance :sarcasm:

Maybe this doesn't harm the show too much. Maybe it's different but equally as good. I was excited to see they were getting the band back together and whatnot. Now? The excitement level has dropped considerably.

A comment on Season 3 of Daredevil: I despise any show that decides to do side quests in other properties that don't give the viewer a tangible bridge between the actual show's season's. To wit, I had completely forgotten that the Defenders took place after Season 2 and before Season 3 of Daredevil. No freaking clue what was going on and I was questioning if I was on the first episode. Terrible, terrible story telling.

I don't read much into this at all. How many times have we seen people jump to conclusions about stuff before it's release and be completely wrong? The original show runners were involved from what I understand. They had a huge task into revamping what was already shot without throwing it all away. So, from that standpoint alone I have to temper my expectations.

However, if it remotely feels like the original show? I am good.

Like Crisis of infinite earths, with Flash, Arrow, Supergirl,...and I think Legends...
one episode to the next there are major changes and if you didnt bounce to each series to watch their episode you have no idea why these things changed.
