And now, Daredevil

The opening titles here are very pretty, though I'm not sure I "get" them beyond the prettiness.

I did, in fact, sign up for Netflix just to see this (Curse You, Irresistible Marketing!), so we'll see what we see this weekend.

  1. There's a motif of blind justice and the significance that Hell's Kitchen holds in Matt Murdock's heart is represented by certain landmarks like the bridge and the Irish catholic church.

  2. The first episode was pretty good, although I would liked to have seen the radar sense used. Matt depended solely on audio cues to locate things. I'll definitely be watching more episodes.

  3. Yeah, I got the Hell's Kitchen and DD iconography, and even the idea that it was sort of "partial sight" — it just didn't quite gel (as a title sequence) in that way, beyond just looking cool.

    Glad to hear folk are enjoying it. I will force the family to watch some eps Real Soon Now.

  4. So far, we’ve only watched the first episode. We’re resisting the impulse to binge watch it. As my spouse said, “I want to savor this one.” (Which, in case you didn’t get it, means we really liked it. A lot.)

  5. +Brodie Bruce Yeah, most people I know skip intros for everything. I was starting to think I was the only person who feels like a good intro is an important part of a show. Even binging I don't skip an intro I like. It also helps separate episodes so it doesn't just all blur together for me, like marking the start of the next chapter.

  6. +Smarmee I love TV intros (I still have audio cassette tapes of some of them I used to love), and it's a crime (against art) that they have become so passe the past decade or so.

    When binge-watching, I'll make sure to watch the intro at least a few times per session. If it's any good. Which, by repetition, it usually is.

  7. I've already seen it. Why should I watch it again? It adds nothing new on repeated viewings.

    The exceptions are for really cool themes (Mission: Impossible, Hawaii 5-0, etc.) and those to which I can sing along (Green Acres, Gilligan's Island…).

    My old cassette tapes are somewhere in the closet. My phone has a lot of old themes on it (The Hardy Boys, Perry Mason…)

  8. +Dave Hill It's wax. They used to use wax seals in legal documents way back when. They don't so much anymore, but the association has stuck. It's indicative of the "law" side of Matt's world, and being used a double metaphor for his painting the world through sonar.

  9. +TheTaff512 It also makes reference through the angel in front of the church dripping down and creating a horned man (a devil, obviously), that in a way Matt is a demon himself, an angel fallen from the law he swore to uphold…yet at the same time he still keeps his lawful practice and appearance, hiding his darker and violent side that he hasn't quite understood yet, even after all this time. It was clear that Fisk rattled him when he spoke to him through the cop's walkie talkie, showing him that both Daredevil and Kingpin are a lot alike.
