A couple days ago Marvel released what they're calling a "motion poster", which is basically just a short youtube clip that announces the release date for the Netflix Daredevil series. I guess I'm excited. A few years ago I lobbied the idea that Marvel should introduce some of it's lesser heroes (like Iron Fist) in a collection of short films. Of course I never anticipated the demand for Superheroes on TV so now it sounds stupid. In a way I'm getting what I wanted. I'm just not super excited about the Netflix policy of releasing every episode all at once.
Call me an old crank but there's something fun about watching a serialized tv show presented at a deliberate pace. In many ways it's similar to the traditional comic book format. Delayed gratification and all that. Binge watching has its time and place but so does suspense and anticipation. I don't know, I'm just spitballing ideas, trying to figure out why I'm so indifferent to the announcement. Maybe I should stop thinking about the race to review and recap every episode and concentrate on Rosario Dawson as Night Nurse.
