Steven DeKnight, who served as the showrunner on the first season of Netflix’s “Daredevil,” recently took to social media to criticize Disney for running a scam with its upcoming …

“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!”

    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+.

          With Marvel, they don’t even have quantity anymore and episodes are too short. I remember that 2021 was packed with Disney+ show.

          This is the worst part. It’s so watered down now. So many Marvel and SW shows I’m just never going to watch, especially since my experience with the last few has been so bad.

          Hit Monkey still exists, although it is not cinematic technically speaking.

        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
