I
really don't like talking about studios. When I see a movie I want to
just see the movie and afterward when reading about it then I can see
what hand a studio had in the movie and why things made no sense.
Streaming services are studios. They make full on movies and TV shows
and have the ability to give and take away as they please. The
Netflix series Daredevil has been canceled and I'm not super upset
because the third season was actually really good and I felt fine
with the way it ended. I didn't say to myself “Damn, I can't wait
for this to return!” because shows these days just keep cranking
out no matter how I feel about them. So I am not upset Daredevil is
leaving Netflix. I am bothered by the fact that if I wanted to check
out another possible season or a bunch of Marvel based movies and
series I'd have to get another streaming service.
Many
are surprised by the cancellation of Daredevil even after Luke Cage
and Iron Fist were canceled just a couple months ago and while
Punisher and Jessica Jones are still around I'm just waiting for the
hammer to drop on those too. Netflix does not release how many
viewers watch their shows or anything but analytical companies do and
they say that season three of Daredevil was the fourth most watched
show after Narcos, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and Stranger Things. I have no desire to watch Narcos, still have not finished
Sabrina and may not, and Stranger Things sucked. So there's that.
Right
now I have Amazon and Netflix. Me and Cam do not want to add on other
apps and such no matter how good others are. She recently added Starz
and so far she checks out Outlander while I scroll through for ten
minutes trying to find something before giving up and watching
Youtube. Disney plans to have all their Marvel stuff move onto their
new service next year and I have no desire to get it. I just don't.
There is the fact that Netflix owns this one thing, Marvel owns this
one, Disney has the rights to this one now, Sony has that, Marvel and
Netflix will continue to run this, while Disney and Marvel will
control that. I try to stay naive to so much of that nonsense but
when things start getting canceled or changed in ways that are silly
I have no choice but to figure out why.
Marvel
released a statement saying “Marvel is extremely grateful to the
huge audience that loved Marvel's Daredevil. From the moment of young
Matt's first act of heroism to the birth of Page, Murdock, &
Nelson, it has been an unbelievable journey. We are incredibly proud
of the amazing showrunners and writers starting with Drew Goddard and
Steven DeKnight, Marco Ramirez and Doug Petrie and Erik Oleson,
Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Vincent D'Onofrio and
our casts who brought our characters to life with such excellence,
and every one of the fantastic crews in NYC. We look forward to more
adventures with the Man without Fear in the future.”
Many
will be looking forward to maybe a Daredevil movie in the future.
Meh. Like I said, I am good with how the last season ended. There
ain't nothing a movie could tell me that I want to know. What I liked
about Daredevil was that it was not like the movies. They would make
the vaguest of connections to the films but I liked the street
level-ness of it. I don't want to see a $150 million Daredevil movie.
I liked the gritty feel of the show and having characters that would
not show up in films. If Daredevil pops up in a future film I won't
be mad. But I also won't be mad if he never does. I just don't want
to pay another $10 a month to watch Marvel shit.
