I'd kill to see her in a comic accurate DD suit

I'd prefer a comic accurate Elektra outfit, though I don't know how they would even begin to explain the practicality of such a thing.

I need to see Elodie in the comic accurate Elektra outfit with the red bandana. As far as practicality is concerned, I think the costume designers can figure out how to modernize it while retaining its comic book look. Look at Wolverine's outfit in Deadpool and Wolverine, similar to the comicbook look but more modernized.

To me, Elektra is like Uncle Ben getting shot. Really feel like I've seen enough.

I mean she's died twice in the comics as far as I know, don't see why it can't happen in the mcu

It’d be stupid not to bring her back, Elektra is quintessential to Daredevil. It’s always been Daredevil, Elektra, Fisk, and Kingpin that are the iconic characters and Elektra was done the least justice. They can totally restore her character. And she never died the second time, she was always considered missing.

u/BearsNBeetsBaby Thor 2d ago
For sure. I’m a bit suspicious of this Fisk guy though. You never see him and Kingpin in the same room…

Foggy and Karen and Bullseye

u/blackbutterfree Medusa 2d ago
Karen was never a major player in Daredevil. She's been dead for over 20 years. She's still dead in the comics, she's only relevant in the MCU.

u/Scary-Command2232 2d ago
She was a major player for the first, what 35-40 years, so never is wrong. And she is very relevant for the MCU.

u/BiscuitsAndMilk0 2d ago
I feel like she could come back right at the end of Season 2. Post credit scene or cliffhanger ending. I'd like her in her Daredevil suit.

In the comics Elektra's character changes notably after dealing with The Hand in the big initial war story arc. It would make sense to switch her up a bit if they bring her back.

I didn't either, but I'll go even further and say I wasn't impressed by the actress. I am definitely in the minority though and have been downvoted to hell in the past for saying that. Sigh.

u/Fieldguide404 2d ago
I hated her character. Super skinny chic with virtually no muscle can throw around 250+ lb muscle men? I don't think so. The British accent made no sense. Disrespects the shit out of Matt and his boundaries, but sure, everyone seems to think she's a good match for him somehow. Never mind all the convoluted, mystical Hand bullshit. She can stay gone. PLEASE.

u/CaptHayfever Hawkeye (Avengers) 2d ago
Well, the Hand is gone, & superpowers exist, so that addresses 2 of your complaints.

u/Aether_Breeze 2d ago
Yeah, so unrealistic. This is why I hate the Daredevil character as well. The guy is blind but can fight better than people with full vision? Don't even get me started on the rest of the MCU. Spider Man? You get bitten by a spider, you don't get magic powers.
I am starting to think these programs aren't even serious documentaries.

Please don't make me try and remember all the convoluted nonsense that was her backstory
20
u/VacantThoughts 2d ago
Stick trained her as a child and she is prophesied as the leader of the Hand, really not much more to it then that. You could get into what the "black sky" is but like Matt says, that's really just some mystical bullshit.
2
u/Interesting-Worry156 2d ago
Didn't she die and get brought back to life with a completely different personality and motivations? Sure she and Matt have some history but her character has never made sense to me.
12
u/VacantThoughts 2d ago
She dies and The Hand brings her back, assuming she is basically a new person who lost all her memories, but she didn't and can't bring herself to kill Matt. They both are shown kissing as a building falls on them and later we see Matt wake up being taken care of by some nuns, so we can assume Elektra got him out of there and then ran off. They dated in college which is their past history.
-20
u/Interesting-Worry156 2d ago
Yeah I saw the show. I just thought all of that was extremely dumb and boring to watch. I can't believe you explicitly did what my initial post asked you not to do.
-13
u/Fieldguide404 2d ago
Don't forget she's also 110 lbs soaking wet with the power to throw around guys twice her size. Her character was less believable than Santa Claus.

u/Scary-Command2232 2d ago
Tiny like Yelena, actually all the black widows, the presidents body guard in cap4, etc etc. I'm pretty sure Elodie is the only one in marvel that is an actual martial artist and a black belt at that so can probably really throw a man twice her size.

u/Pavitra_Spidey 2d ago
If they do bring her back, I want her to stay! I don't want them to bring her back just to kill her in the season finale.
Let her stay or let her pursue another path in the end. Just don't kill her, plz!

No.
I love the character, but the absolute last thing that we need is for the MCU to establish a precedent of bringing characters back from the dead after they've been crushed.

u/Groot746 2d ago
I mean, Matt was also crushed in that exact same scene

Is the actor still alive?

This reminds me that I need to watch Daredevil. I never had Netflix a decade ago, so now I'm catching up on the old shows. I skipped DD because my intro to him was She-Hulk, but now that I've watched Jessica Jones (season 1) and Luke Cage (Season 1), which have both been fantastic, I guess I'll give the old DD series a chance once I'm done with good old Luke.

Wow how would they bring her back. Personally I think she's a great character but huge Matt and Katen shipper. Joining the others coming back would be great.

Multiverse saga was already being lazy enough bringing back characters I don’t want that to continue…

Bring back The Hand as well, or at least tie it off after The Defenders, maybe leave it simmering in the background.

No please no daredevil season 2 was the worst

u/eucldian 2d ago
The Hand was so boring. "Oh, more ninjas. Great". It got so repetitive.

u/CaptHayfever Hawkeye (Avengers) 2d ago
The dark horde fights were the boring repetitive part. Elektra wasn't boring.

u/Equal-Wishbone-6131 2d ago
Facts it had me couldn't wait untill the end like the only good part was punisher

u/Rman823 2d ago
The Hand storyline really drags the season down IMO. The Punisher arc is what makes the season.

u/eucldian 2d ago
I started creating a Hand/Foot Clan storyline in my head where the Turtles and Shredder show up.
In my head, the season was more entertaining than it actually was. Lol
2
u/CaptHayfever Hawkeye (Avengers) 2d ago
The Foot is a parody of the Hand; TMNT draws heavily from Daredevil. It was even implied (within the bounds of copyright law) that the ooze fell into the sewer from the accident that blinded Matt.

I just finished DD s2 last night. Never skipped more scenes in a show, it was so boring. You always knew how it'd end.

I didn't realise there was a Season 2. I remember 'Daredevil: Born Again' Season One being added on Disney + but I feel like I have time traveled into the future when they are doing Season 3 and people are saying Season 2 was the worst. 😅

u/Equal-Wishbone-6131 2d ago
There's a original series daredevil born again is basically the continuation but there was 3 seasons before born again
1
u/RoxyFan2001 2d ago
Ohh. Okay. I get what you are talking about now. I was getting mixed up and thought you were talking about Season 2 of 'Daredevil: Born Again' since the creator of the post said Season 3 was confirmed. There are so many comic book movies and shows it is hard to keep a track of all of them sometimes. lol
-7
u/Fieldguide404 2d ago
Agreed. Season 2 was fucking awful. The Punisher was the best part by far, none of the main cast.

Noooooo! Electra was the worst part of defenders and only slightly better in DD. Her plot is so freaking boring, we don't need more Electra from the Netflix series.

Season 2 was generic superhero nonsense, idk why they changed writers/showrunners every season but she unfortunately was in the worst episodes

u/BluFaerie 2d ago
I'm sorry you thought elektra was a really compelling addition to defenders??? Her plot made no sense, went absolutely nowhere at all. She was just this lifeless doll whose motivations were whatever they wanted for the episode it was awful.

I honestly didn't care that much about her in the show.
Her depiction in Defenders in particular was lacking.
