Daredevil is pretty damn good. About 1/2 through it right now. -- nm - decline Apr 13, 08:02 8
- Yesterday I learned that, although set in Hell's Kitchen, they filmed in Brooklyn and LIC. - ty97 Apr 13, 08:03 7
  - Yeah, I keep pausing to figure out where they really are. I knew it wasn't Manhattan early on. - Krusty Apr 13, 08:08
  - Remember, they need for Hell's Kitchen to look like hell. I guess it just didn't fit the bill. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 08:04 5
    - Williamsburg and LIC are not exactly hell - ty97 Apr 13, 08:05 4
      - LIC has lots of areas that are still very grimy and industrial. It works well for this show. The buildings don't really look like Hell's Kitchen - Krusty Apr 13, 08:10
      - the devil wears hipster jeans -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 08:08
      - Uhm, the hipsters in HK were part of the problem! -- nm - Ultron Apr 13, 08:07 1

- He's not Hank Pym? I guess that way they don't have to include him in The Avengers or connect him to Ultron. - Krusty Apr 13, 07:21 2
  - Douglas is Pym -- nm - Remlik Apr 13, 07:23 1
    - Ahh, still I was thinking Ant Man would be Pym. - Krusty Apr 13, 07:26

        he was one of the first announced at the 1st Marvel panel in 2005 because Edgar Wright wanted to do it. -- nm - Remlik Apr 13, 07:47
        
        I thought they were going to have him in the first Avengers film and I really thought he'd be in this new one. - Krusty Apr 13, 07:29 2
        
        Well, Hank was also rather insane and beat his wife. So I can see skipping over him. - Ultron Apr 13, 07:57
