I don't think that's going on.

Yeah, aside from saying it could also be coincidence or just business as usual, I already addressed that upthread after a couple other responses.

 

[Evolved1]

Awesome news.

Please, change the suit it's terrible.

 

[shadyspace]

Who are Daredevil's other villains?

Stiltman, the Joker to Daredevil's Batman.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Fuck yes. Easily my favorite thing out of all that Marvel has done. Too bad about DeKnight, though. Hope that doesn't hurt the quality.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Who are Daredevil's other villains?

Like to see Bullseye next:

 

[Jest Chillin]

DeKnight is part of Whedon's crew, right? Goddard is too - he bounced and there was a little ill-will there, but he didn't exactly handle his bailing on Daredevil all that well. Whedon's in the process of walking right now. I wonder if there's something to all of this, or if it's just coincidence, or just business as usual.

Doug Petrie is apart of that group as well. Started as a Writer and advanced all the way up to Co-EP on Buffy. I don't know if he's as close as Goddard, DeKnight, et al though since Buffy was the only thing he worked on with Joss directly.

 

[Sanjuro]

Give the guy a break he's blind.

Blind my ass! He could count your pubes.

 

[ivysaur12]

Really bummed that DeKnight is not helming it. I can only hope that they want him to run Iron Fist.

I heard he did the job he was contracted to do, but doesn't really want to do another Marvel show.

Goddard bounced after writing the first few else and setting up the series structure. He was gonna do Sinister Six

That's a nice way to putting it

 

[GuitarAtomik]

FUCK YES!! 2016 too! That answers that.

 

[Rhaknar]

Fuck yes

Elektra, Bullseye, The Hand do it

 

[Hazmat]

Fuck yeah, the man without fear.

 

[Evolved1]

DeKnight gone?

God that's a kick right in the balls...

 

[kai3345]

god damn it that suit still looks lame as fuck

still excited tho

 

[Secret Fawful]

Changing showrunners makes me think they'll be changing the tone slightly or kind of show this is next season. Maybe more lawyering or more mystical stuff?

 

[BronsonLee]

That's a nice way to putting it

My superpowers are politically correct statements!

 

[Dark Ninja]

One step closer to Punisher on Netflix

 

[Toa TAK]

Oh fuck, I got wrapped up in Fisk I forgot about Elektra and The Hand.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

And portraying Whedon as though he is walking out on Marvel is pretty inaccurate.

He's leaving once his contract is up. He's walking. I also, already, mentioned he seems to still be on good terms. I also, in the post you're quoting, said that this could all be coincidence, or just plain ol' business as usual, and then in another post made before your response, admitted maybe I'm just on that particular track due to having a conversation about this sorta shit in another thread.

 

[Cornballer]

Merged you all into one super-thread and tweaked the title. If there are any issues, send me a PM.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Awww no DeKnight. Still hyped though. He seemed to have a decent amount of stuff laid out for S2 already and I assume he'll pass those notes along. Glad to hear the new runners worked on the first season.

 

[BatDan]

Now that's hype news.

So after Age of Ultron, we have:
Ant-Man
Civil War
Doctor Strange
Guardians of the Galaxy 2
MCU Spider-Man
Thor: Ragnarok
Infinity War Part 1
Black Panther
Captain Marvel
Infinity War Part 2
Inhumans

Daredevil Season 2
A.K.A. Jessica Jones
Luke Cage
The immortal Iron First
Defenders
Agents of SHIELD spin-off with Mockingbird.
Possibly Agents of SHIELD Season 3

Mahval Babee!

 

[ivysaur12]

lol, exactly.

 

[MadLaughter]

I heard he did the job he was contracted to do, but doesn't really want to do another Marvel show.

Just seems strange, considering how gung ho about it all he's been the past few weeks in interviews and on twitter. He's been really interactive with the fans.

Aw man, so much for more DeKnight.

 

[Toa TAK]

Sweet, thank you.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Yeah, he's been buzzing with energy. Even mentioned that he would love to do Punisher.

 

[BronsonLee]

lol, exactly.

I'd solve all these potentially world ending scenarios just by talking it out.

I Am The Chatter!

Also Mystery MCU TV Show developed by John Ridley

 

[Kevinroc]

I, like many others in this thread, have high hopes for season 2. Daredevil is so good.

 

[Quick]

Gonna need all the YES gifs available right now.

 

[ivysaur12]

I mean, would you want to run a Marvel show, given the workload?

 

[shadyspace]

Also, can Marvel shell out for some plugs for Charlie Cox?

 

[RPGCrazied]

I'm sure they will, but hope all the actors return for the new season. Would be weird with new faces.

I don't give a shit about his receding hairline compared to getting that cowl/helmet thing fixed so it doesn't look like Shaq's mask from Steel.

 

[ivysaur12]

I'm sure they will, but hope all the actors return for the new season. Would be weird with new faces.

Almost all series regulars on almost all American TV shows are contracted for 6-7 years, initially, so yes.

 

[kirblar]

I heard he did the job he was contracted to do, but doesn't really want to do another Marvel show.

Noooooo

 

[anaron]

noooo that DeKnight is leaving, WTF. he said he was so excited to do Elektra

 

[Gartooth]

Fuck yeah! Season 1 is the best TV show to ever come out of Marvel.

 

[ivysaur12]

Noooooo

Let me expand, I guess. He was thrown into a very volatile situation very quickly with very little lead time and a very stressful and small post-production timeframe.

Spoiler

Not to mention that he basically had to reframe/change/amend/another adjective a lot of Goddard's ideas into something that he could use.

And then there's the Marvel of it all, who can't really be easy to work with, which is one of their strengths/weaknesses.

Not necessarily an ideal work environment, even compared to Spartacus. I could see that if you had a one season contract, how you might want to hit pause.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Guardians of the Galaxy was the Marvel movie I waited all MCU for, but this era is easily the most exciting from Marvel because of Daredevil and Civil War. DD season 2, Iron Fist, Black Panther, and Spidey all upcoming. I'm extremely excited right now.

Gotcha, especially w/ S2 having a relatively quick turnaround.

Did not realize things were that bad- I suspect they'll try pretty hard to keep him onboard for future projects because he nailed this one.

 

[anaron]

they desperately need to hire some female writers

Given how fast DD season 2 seems to be put together, I guess he felt as if he were in the same situation. I can still see him coming for back for another Marvel show where he has more time and control.

[BronsonLee]

...wait, where did this come from?

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Just seems strange, considering how gung ho about it all he's been the past few weeks in interviews and on twitter. He's been really interactive with the fans.

Because he has been promised the series he really wants: Punisher.

Spoiler

I can dream!

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

...wait, where did this come from?

Knowhere.

Spoiler

Gettit.

 

[Dominator]

Wow, thought they were going to do a season of each then the team-up season then repeat. We can potentially get a season a year for all 5 of these shows if they are successful. That is nuts.

 

[The Artisan]

forgive me for the ignorance, what does it mean that "showrunners" have changed? different directors? screenwriters? producers? i'm guessing the cast is unaffected?

 

[Spieler Eins]

Hope they keep the tone of the first season and the final 10 or so minutes aren't an indication of what's to come, because that shit was sticking out like a sore thumb.

And that suit... clicked the Link and I still can't take it. Especially compared to the greatness that was his black costume. Not sure if the new costume is bad per se, but it certainly doesn't suit the actor right now, which might be the bigger problem.
