Vincent D'onofrio - Blog Posts
Just saw the finale episode of Daredevil: Born Again so I thought I'ld share my thoughts on the whole first season.
Spoilers by the way.
First of all the Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio were fantastic as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, two of the best performances in the entire MCU in my opinion. Everyone loves Matt (for good reason) but Fisk has always been my favourite. He is one of my favourite MCU villains and the writing for him is always great.
The scenes with Frank are great. In particular the scene between him and Matt in episode 4 is one of the best scenes in the whole show.
I liked the stuff with White Tiger. R.I.P. Kamar de los Reyes, you did a great job.
I liked Muse, he was good villain. Kinda reminds me of the serial killers in the Hannibal tv show (that's a compliment btw that show is great). I wished he wasn't killed off after two episodes, would've liked to see more of him.
I liked the Pointdexter scenes. Everytime he appeared I was thinking 'oh fuck' especially during and after his breakout in episode 8. Also the use of blue and red lighting in episode 8 is so good.
I liked Vanessa. She felt more like her own character and had more to do compared to the original Daredevil show (granted I last watched Daredevil about 3 months ago so maybe I'm misremembering)
Didn't expect Tony Dalton to show up in this but I'm glad he did. He was great in the Hawkeye show and he's great in this. Hopefully he'll reappear in season 2.
Buck was alright, though I do wish we had James Wesley instead. This is not a fault of Born Again, I just wished they didn't kill him off in Daredevil season 1. I liked Daniel, he had some good scenes. I liked BB as well. Didn't really care for any of the other new characters though tbh.
The bank episode was fun, I liked seeing Yusaf Khan. I want to see Matt have dinner with the Khans now. Also Matt whistling while walking into the bank during an armed robbery is so fucking funny.
The fight scenes and choreography was great. When Fisk killed the commissioner I audibly said "Holy shit! What the fuck?!". It's so brutal and gory, I kinda love it.
It was sad that they killed Foggy but thankfully it didn't feel like an unnecessary kill. Everything surrounding Matt and everything he does in some way has to do with his death.
Anyway I really really liked this. It is my favourite Disney+ Marvel show (though Loki is a close second) and I cannot wait for season 2.
Happy Monday Everyone! So happy to say that we reached our 4th milestone and have gotten up to 1,000 signatures. So amazed at how much support this has gotten! Hopefully we can keep it going and reach the next milestone. Another HUGE thank you to @fairytalesandtimetravel for her help or this petition wouldn’t have been made!
Hey there everyone! I have great news! We reached our third milestone and have over 500 signatures! :D Thank you all for the support and a very special shoutout to @fairytalesandtimetravel for all of their help in putting this petition together. I honestly couldn’t have done it without them! Let’s keep up the momentum going into Friday’s Season 1 Finale and gain more support in bringing this amazing show back for a 2nd season! There is also another petition going around hoping to get support for this great show as well. You can also go to NBC directly and let them know how much you want to see this show come back for more!

#SaveEmeraldCity
Alright guys, things are not looking great for Emerald City’s renewal. And before I knew that they would likely be setting up a cliffhanger ending, I wouldn’t have minded just one season of this wonderfulness, I’ll take anything I can get! But, if there is more to tell in this amazingly beautiful world then I think it’s worth a shot to try to save this show! Who’s with me?! my god, I am terrible with these sorts of things, forgive me
No, things aren’t looking great. TV Grimm Reaper expects it to be canceled:
Emerald City is likely to be canceled. Its ratings weren’t terrible for a Friday premiere, but they haven’t stopped declining. Last week’s 0.6 puts it into the likely canceled range, even for a Friday show. As you read the nonsense from the #PRJedi in the TV media about Emerald City being an “event series” remember what that means: If it had good ratings, it would be renewed. Since the ratings are bad, one season was always the plan! (x) (Can that mean that there isn’t actually a cliffhanger? lol)
But! Tv By the Numbers says it’s still a toss up (same goes for Timeless, guys check that shit out too, it’s so awesome!).
HERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN DO:
(If anyone has anything else to add, please add! I am not the best with ratings info lol)
Watch it live! (WHY CAN’T I HAVE A NIESLEN BOX, WHY? I WATCH GOOD SHOWS, DAMN IT) If you can’t watch live, watch it legally through streaming sites like Hulu or nbc.com if you can. (I understand if you are outside the US it doesn’t count (WHY))
Record it and watch it with commercials! I know commercials suck, but to count in the +3 ratings, watch it with commercials. Put it on as background noise or something :)
Tweet!! LIVE TWEET! During the show and before and after it airs (I think it’s 20 minutes before and after that it counts, I think?)! Use #EmeraldCity as a priority tag and then, hey, maybe we can get that and/or #SaveEmeraldCity to trend! And fans outside the US, this is where you can really help! It airs twice, once at 9 PM EST and 9 PM PST on Fridays (use google to find out what time that is for you and Tweet away! :D)
Follow Emerald City on all social media platforms and engage! Even if it’s a like! Sharing is great and promotes it.
Spread the word! Maybe you can get some other people into it too! (Especially if they have a Nielsen box… bribe them them….)
Sign the petition! Here shout out to @piratesbooty63fan for putting it together) and Here
Leave feedback at NBC giving praise to it! You can do that here!
Fingers crossed!!!
Good Morning Everybody! It’s almost Friday! YAY! :) I have some great news to share. This petition reached it’s second milestone yesterday with over 200 signatures. It makes me so happy that so many people support this petition and this show enough to want it back for a second season.
A huge thank you to @fairytalesandtimetravel for all of their help in putting this petition together. I honestly couldn’t have done it without them!
There is also another petition going around in order to help save Emerald City and give it a boost towards a second season so if you haven’t already sign this one as well to give it that extra push forward. The link for that is below.
You can also contact NBC directly and tell them that this show deserves a second season and want to see more of it! Link to this is also below!
Thank you to all of you again for all of the support! I cannot thank all of you enough! Have a great Day and enjoy the new episode tomorrow!
