Makes no sense if it's the same premise, same major characters and basically the same recipe as the original -- which seems to be its selling point. But the mouse fucks over whoever it can.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

It's going to be some kind of a soft reboot. It won't be the same show. It's not even going to have Karen and Foggy.
I don't know if it'll be good, or not. I just know, it won't be a 4th season of The Daredevil we know.
Weird that they didn’t hire back the two best characters on the show, especially since Deborah Ann Woll has made it clear she’s still interested.
If Deborah Ann Woll wants to be in their show and Deborah Ann Woll is not in their show, I fear a lot of bad decisions are going into the production of their show.
“I can say this: they have not called me yet. So, as of now, I am not a part of it,” Woll revealed on a recent episode of the “Inside of You” podcast (via Total Film), hosted by “Smallville” alum Michael Rosenbaum. “I would be thrilled to get to be a part of it. They know where I am. Like I said, I love the character Karen Page. I love telling that story. I feel like I have more to say. But it is up to them what kind of story that they want to tell.”
That will be the sticking point. If this is a continuation of the Netflix series, resetting the contract terms will be messed up.
If it's not a continuation, it's still kind of messed up that they're going with the less generous contract terms. I also personally think that would be a bad decision just from a creative standpoint. People wanted more of the Netflix Daredevil, not Disney-fied Daredevil with some of the same actors.
Get ready for CGI fest Daredevil. Remember him doing CGI backflips and shit in She-Hulk? Welcome to Disney's Daredevil haha.
its gonna be unwatchable
Unchecked corporate greed continues… Support the writers and actors! ✊
"Unchecked corporate greed" has been the primary theme of 2023.
For the last century
For the last couple centuries
We were able to reign it in a bit when corporations and the rich were heavily taxed and unions were much stronger and more prevalent. The last fifty years have eroded that away. We need the reign it in again. ✊
Nah we need to dismantle it. If reign it in last time didn't work why would this time be different?
Absolutely.

STOP. SIGNING. CONTRACTS. WITH. DISNEY
Also: please for the love of god stop buying media associated with disney, just pirate it
Or just don't watch it all. If its not worthy your money, its probably shouldn't be worth your time.
Part of the issue is that Disney's media group continues to put out high quality content year after year. Plus their services like theme parks remain in high demand after several years of steep price hikes. How do you compete with that?
Honestly, their recent stuff that's aimed at adults hasn't been great. Most of the Star Wars series, for instance, sucked.
I dug Andor and Ahsoka 🫤
Mando is the only one I cared for. Haven't tried Ahdoka though.
I mean we vote with our wallets and we don't watch their stuff so it fades to obscurity. Even watching something via piracy just means you will possibly recommend it to others leading to sales of their service. If you want a company to die that is really the only answer.
The Daredevil series is worth my money! I just don't want most of it to pay for Disney's public domain lobbying.
They mention that it is "an old Disney scam", are there other examples of this? I can't think of any but I'm curious to know how those other examples played out.
The suite life of Zach and Cody changing to the suite life on deck
Interesting. I looked up this show and it looks like it kept the same creator credits. I do wonder if there was some secret behind the scenes things going on, or if some other shenanigans happened (obviously if it's supposed to be a secret, it's hard to find.)
The Disney kids shows where the last season or 2 are in an entirely new location than the first ones. Suite life on deck is an example
Disney has done this with all the kids shows for years for the same reason
It's one of their go to moves on Disney channel for their popular series. Suite life, Hannah Montana, lab rats, Liv and Maddie.
“Hannah Montana” changed to “Hannah Montana Forever” for its final season.

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+.
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.

Tbf daredevil has never been lighthearted
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

Fuck Disney.
I heard talk of this, and I'm a bit curious if this is in fact the reason why they have named it so.
It is an old Disney trick but I think this is different. Kevin Feige had very little say about the old marvel shows, he butted heads a lot with the guy who was in charge of the TV shows, Ike Perlmutter. Ike was a piece of shit and is no longer in charge, so you can't really blame Kevin Feige for wanting to wipe the slate clean. I've been thankful he decided to keep the two biggest names from the original show but in no way was the new show going to be a continuation, unlike the other examples listed in the comments
He can reset it creatively if he wants but to every actor and crew member involved it's still just a new season of the same show.
I know it's super late but I just saw this and it bothers me a little bit. I think literally anyone that was involved in the old show should be considered lucky for being able to work on the new one. It's a different show based on the same characters that the old show was based on, with your logic, everyone involved in the Gotham show are also entitled to be involved with Pennyworth and the Penguin show with Colin Ferrell. When they made the Flash TV show with Grant Gustin, it was fun and special that the guy who played flash in the 90's TV show played his dad. But in no way should anyone from the 90s show be entitled to anything creative or otherwise from the new one.
This isn't decades later it's a few years. And they brought back both the lead character and lead villain. The crew I understand it's a few years most have probably found other sets to work on but foggy and Karen are also stars of that show and no one is going to think that the original series isn't canon. They made daredevil the character he is today just as much as the guy who plays Matt, who's name escapes me at this very moment.
I'm not saying everyone involved in the Ben Affleck daredevil needs to be hired again.
Yeah they are still officially canon. I understand if they play less of a role as it becomes more of an extended universe and they have to focus on daredevil and other main characters, but to completely snub them is fucked up. Doubly so if they recast them.
Well it was my understanding that nothing from the show will be canon and they will be recasting Foggy. If I'm mistaken and those characters from the show are canon, then I agree with you.
