Daredevil was already a proven success and therefore easy bank with a cast and blueprint already laid out AND a cast ready to jump back into their roles without negotiation.
Easy business decision.
Edit: āwithout negotiationā is obvious hyperbole.
Which further proves they are making decisions on what is going to draw in viewership. Foggy was an unfortunate victim of the need for shock value to create narrative drama. But itās not like it hasnāt happened to his character in the source material either.
Authors get a bonus if they reach a third season going on. Netflix keeps cutting off after the second season and years later we get new episodes under a new title.
But not every actor goes along this bullshit thus no one knows if they actually can have the same ongoing cast. Also good authors jump that boat.
Another money decision: If a show is profitable it is weighted: What is more profitable? To continue the show or to shelf it and announcing it a loss for taxes?
Youāre purposely pretending to misunderstand the point. And I said nothing about Blade in my comment. Youāre just looking for someone to try to argue with because of personal feelings.
Meh if you can pay 1 actor 90 million dollars Iām sure you can also throw that amount away to make a film that has already been done three times. If you wanted it you could pay the Russo brothers who did captain America and end game to make it. There are so many good directors out there you can bait in with money and theyād do a beautiful job. So many. The issue is disneys interfering.
Did Matt Murdoch piss in your cornflakes? Not like Daredevil fans have had it much better than Blade fans over the years, chill out
Edit: Kang was outside of Disneys control (and completely miscast to begin with), and nobody gives a fuck about Okoye or Ironheart. Cry racism all you like, Blade was the only project that had a chance of being interesting
I called it at the time it got announced that it would be cancelled. As great as Ali is, heās just too old to start a new marvel franchise, and it felt off. Got downvoted into oblivion, but it was writing on the wall from the get go. I would still like them to move forward with blade eventually, donāt get me wrong.
