I think it's a good sign they are bringing back the actors. It tells me they respect the source material enough to at least tie the new show together with the old ones. They could have recast Bullseye or Karen Page, or written Foggy off the show entirely. The Multiverse gives them every option to keep or leave everything that happened on Netflix, and so far I like the stuff they kept. Echo made great use of the Kingpin, and D'Onofrio fell right back into the character. It was every bit as brutal and menacing as he was on Netflix. And Charlie was good in She-Hulk, even if he was just there to be a side-piece in every meaning of the term.

So I'm hopeful. The new shows have been mostly good on balance. Secret Wars was bad, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier was fine except for Mackie. But everything else, WandaVision, Loki, What If, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, Hawkeye, She-Hulk, Echo, and X-Men '97 were all good enough. None of them were perfect, but they were taking risks and respected the source material. That's like a B+ average for their offerings so far, so I am excited to see what they do with the man without fear.

I'll also take some more specials, like Werewolf by Night and GotG Christmas Special. Maybe we get a Daughters of the Dragon special, or an Alias P.I./The Pulse miniseries where we catch up with everyone that made it back to the MCU.

Disney execs: The Daredevil guy needs a cape, and you need to put in way more explosions. Can we cut the dialogue in half? People hate talking.

We've had the Disney version of both Kingpin and ~~Daredevil~~ Matt Murdock now and both were quite good.
