I fucking hate the mass attempt at giving every pop culture hero a dark and gritty reboot. It's partly why I relish the Marvel Cinematic Universe so much. But I can't help but salsa this trailer, even when it's essentially the same tone that caused my issues with the Ant-Manand Fantastic Fourtrailers (though those also didn't tell us much about the stories they wanted to tell). The difference is that a character like Matt Murdock/Daredevil thrives in this world. His home, Hell's Kitchen, is was a notoriously terrible area to live in. Modern Hell's Kitchen is no longer riddled with crime and even got a name change (which I can't remember and can't be bothered to look up). The series will still take place in the same location so I wonder how they'll handle the switch. Now, time to gush about my favorite things in the trailer.
