I might have a full set of clown makeup on but god damn I'm really hoping that Marvel execs scrapping Daredevil Born Again and starting from scratch, and the new creative team reporting that they've been watching the OG series for inspiration...I'm so really hoping that they bring back Deb and Elden as Karen and Foggy.

Charlie, Deborah, and Elden just worked SO SO well together. And if you bring back Jon as Frank Castle and Vincent as Fisk and Charlie as Matt, it's just so fucking unfair if Deb and Elden get left in the dust. Particularly, like, Karen Page was also made super important to the Punisher show, let alone Daredevil. Why the hell would you leave her out while bringing the boys she's connected to back?

And with the Defenders shows now all on Disney+, AND being added to its MCU timeline, it'd be a really dumbass decision to nuke the heart of what made the Daredevil show incredible. It wasn't all Matt being broody by himself. It was Nelson, Murdock, and Page, their connections, their sacrifices, their victories. Their love.

And god damn did they get fucked over with the cancellations. They ALL deserve to come back.

I'm hoping so hard that Foggy and Karen come back with Elden and Deborah. It won't be Daredevil without them, especially with everyone else. It'll be like leaving two gaping holes unfilled.

Really want a Wonder Woman animated series.

If I got a say in it, it would probably take heavy inspiration from the Post Crisis Wonder Woman run. Her wanting to take a break from being the ambassador for Themyscira and get to know the people of Man's World, ending up in Gateway City and working with the Sandsmark family.

Less focus on her godly/mystical enemies, taking her back to her roots with very odd supervillains, with bigger ones like Cheetah and Circe being pushed to later on.

And, of course, setting up a toxic yuri situation for Diana and Barbara.

Friday The 13th Game map concept:Camp Hell

Savini Jason deserved a map of his own. so my suggestion is Camp Crystal Lake, but in hell

Like in the picture suggests, the camp is literally Crystal Lake in Hell.

The lake is on fire

Sulfer in the air and the woods on fire

The cabins are charred, the windows are burned down and the doors are broken

Replace the trees with spikes

Replace Pamela’s shrine with Satan’s throne with Satan impaled while holding Pamela’s head

There is no escape. Phones do not work and the vehicles are all burned down. 

Jason kills you over and over again  have to survive below a certain number of deaths I mean it's hell I'd think Jason gets to keep killing them over and over and over and over and they just keep getting back up more and more torn up like the mechanic can be like you must have x amount of your body(soul) intact to ascends to Heaven when times up

Imagine the match starting normally, up until the moment Savini would murk Rob Dier. Instead of the kill when he grabs him by the throat, he teleports everything, map and counselors down to hell. A version of Crystal Lake/Packinack/Higgins Haven/Pinehurst/Jarvis House with a Dante's Inferno look to it. Reskin on weapons, crafting parts, and more blood. If you survive with limited deaths, your soul ascends to heaven.

🍭:

Speaking of which

Would Clara name her baby after a bug

It's more likely than you think!!!!

The scientific name not the common name. Think Vanessa instead of Dayfly lol. Or a name whose meaning references a bug, like Deborah, which means "bee". If she can't find one she likes, she would use an animal name in the same way.

Bug name, animal name, deceased family, in that order.

Daredevil News starts at 3:50

TLDR; Krysten Ritter is supposed to come back, don't know if she'll be back in Echo or in Daredevil Born Again

The actress for Vanessa was recasted because the original actress was unavailable. Same character, different actress. No need for conspiracy theories, she just moved on. It was a minor part in a show she thought ended three years ago, her being unavailable doesn't mean anything.

I know Deborah Woll has said that she wants to come back as Karen (this video from three months ago, I don't have the timestamp of this video) so I still think it's save to assume that if Karen and Foggy are going to be in Daredevil Born Again, they will be played by Henson/Woll and not be recasted. As a we all know, Matt said "We" run a practice in Hell's Kitchen in She-Hulk. We is more than Me. They would not include that line if Foggy just didn't exist in this timeline.

Another leaker said that the 18 episode of Daredevil will air in pods/6 episodes chucks. If this is true, I think it's possible that Karen/Foggy won't be in the first sections because Matt will be working with the Punisher/Echo/whoever in not-Hell's Kitchen. Then, Karen/Foggy and Matt will be reunited once Matt finishes whatever he's doing in Hell's Kitchen in the second pod.

[womansfilm]

actresses in my stats who played tennis ranked by how much i'd like to play tennis with them 1 Celia Johnson (described as ideal doubles partner by her daughter, seems unfussy, work-life balance queen) 2 Deborah Kerr (couldn't actually play tennis as far as I'm aware but that scene of her flopping in the chalk garden is my from here to eternity beach scene) 3 Vanessa Redgrave (described tennis as her way to relax and I'm curious wtf 'relaxed' vanessa redgrave looks like. we dont have to talk) 4 Cary Grant 5 Katharine Hepburn (i dont want to play tennis with her)

[buffyfan145]

As much as I’m happy for Jon coming back I’m also sad as The Hollywood Reporter is saying that both Deborah and Elden won’t be back as Karen and Foggy. :( They’re not sure yet if the roles will be recast or just written out. My guess is maybe a mix as I’ve already seen rumors they recast Vanessa and possibly Elektra, as well as given Fisk and Vanessa their son pretty much confirming this Matt and now Frank are the MCU’s versions and not the part of the multiverse the Netflix shows took place in. So that could support a recast likely for Foggy. I personally don’t think Karen’s even going to be a character especially with Matt already having at least 3 love interests in the MCU now with Jennifer/She-Hulk, Maya/Echo, and if there is a new Elektra. Though I still wouldn’t rule out Karen if they make a “Punisher” movie/show and maybe this MCU version of her, hopefully still Deborah, knows Frank but not Matt. I’m still going to watch as I still love all the characters and to see the MCU versions of them, but I will miss Deborah and Elden and possibly their characters so much.

ETA: I forgot about how in the comics storyline of “Born Again” all that bad stuff that happened to Karen so it’s a good thing she’s not there for at least that so none of it will happen to her, but still said she likely doesn’t exist in the MCU or at least everything that happened in the Netflix “Daredevil” show never happened in the MCU (except maybe “The Punisher” which would be interesting how they’d write that).
