Great news, however I suspect that it will be Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdoch handing the mantle of DareDevil to a teenage girl with similar disabilities but a little bit better / stronger / more powerful than the original.
Just like all the other Disney + series.

Hope I’m wrong on this one.

Which ones?

Can’t see it being as brutal as the Netflix version which would be a shame.

I can't see Disney doing the punisher prison fight scene...

Doesn't take more than 5mins of googling to find out and also to realise that Marvel/Disney have been on a quest to deconstruct the toxic masculinity that is supposedly inherent in white males only.

Even gods are not allowed to be gods in their universe now. This was made quite clear with the ludicrous decision to have Thor suffer from PTSD and allow him to turn into a fat dithering slob. Now not only has he lost the throne of Asgard, given to a female women of colour but in the next movie he also loses his hammer to a new female Thor.

It is the predictability of it all that really grates I guess.

Hopefully Daredevil gets a pass though as although he is a white male he also ticks a lot of boxes with his vulnerability, handicap and catholic guilt.

Well just off the top of my head:

Hawkeye - the actual hero was… a teenage girl.
Loki - the actual hero was a female Loki..
Dr strange - let’s face it he was just along for the ride in Wandas movie..
Captain America - now captain carter
Thor - now lady Thor
Hulk - now she hulk
Moon knight - hippo girl saved the day..

And that’s just the obvious stuff. There is an agenda being pushed.

Now, as a father of two girls I actually like the idea of female centric and female lead movies, good role models and all that.
I don’t like the way male characters have to be diminished in order to achieve that though.
There needs to be a balance and fairness to it.

I don't know if they made it themselves but loki was quite well done through disney. Also i definitely think a thread title change is needed
