LOL OK...I know I'm way late to the game on this, but watching the Netflix show and it's pretty awesome how close Daredevil and Mr. Fixer are with theme...even with the black mask thing.
I know Mr. Fixer was out there well before the show...but then again Daredevil was out the well before Mr. Fixer...waitaminute...is this a chicken-egg conundrum? OMG it could be a temporal event!
Either way impressed with the black mask similarity.
Finished the series yesterday. It was impressively enjoyable! Really looking forward to seeing what they do with Marvel's other Netflix shows.
Had a conversation on this recently around how Mr. Fixer is a unique amalgam of various street-level characters, primarily Daredevil and Luke Cage/Power Man. His mechanic aspect is completely his as far as I can tell, though!
Another stupid post on my part: Typo because I meant 2016 and I totally missed that you actually included it.
Thanks for that link, though! I hadn't heard the official fate of Iron Fist, as from the announcements I'd seen it was originally planned for 2016. Looks like Daredevil 2 has pushed it out. My guess is they didn't have the story to bring Iron Fist in without a second Daredevil series, so it's coming first, and they don't have budget for more than 2 shows / year.
No, Iron Fist was definitely part of the original announcement. It and the Defenders are farthest down the pipeline, through - they only announced casting for Luke Cage back in late January or so, IIRC.
Hey, great link…I had not seen that before. Netflix could very well start to rival HBO/Amazon for original content with this kind of line-up. Defenders…wow! Are they going to have a flying horse and everything? Dr. Strange too? This could get quite interesting.
Thanks again for the info.
OK, what other Marvel/DC universe archetypes are in SoTM? I'm having a hard time finding an equivalent to The Argent Adept - and Aqashbuta seems pretty darn unique as well.
They are just using the Defenders name to represent the Marvel Knights line. The Defenders are all the street level heroes, rather than who the Defenders are in the comics.
On another note Doctor Strange is getting his own movie, played by Benedict Cumberbatch
Fun fact: In Frank Miller's "The Man Without Fear," there is a character called "Mr. Fixer," but he's one of the mafiosos, and he's called that because it's his job to fix fights.
