There was an interview in the Night Devil when he appeared in Empire magazine before, which probably said that "this show is the darkest product of Marvel Studios" Blah Blah Blah, all in all, nothing more than to emphasize how special and different this is a drama.
I think that a fan who knows more about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so to speak, starting from the Avengers, strictly speaking, starting from Iron Man, what everyone sees has always been unique, especially until some viewers have begun to aesthetically fatigue, especially to the point that many people have been taken into the ditch.
Superheroes are touted by these people, which is a good thing. But the problem marvel studios has been making is making these superheroes too glamorous, so bright that more and more people are beginning to question this practice to make Marvel heroes more and more exaggerated.
Although it is quite far-fetched to say this, but in retrospect, everyone will admit it. Before, all you saw was a hammer flying around in the sky, either a billionaire building countless mechs, or a careless genetic mutation that prevented the killing buddha from losing his soul. Styles are very different.
It's time to show us something "more normal".
Look back at what the Night Devil has:
Two short sticks and outstanding skills, plus a little bit of keen observation and good qualities that normal humans can cultivate if they are their hearts. Oh, yes, he has an unusually sensitive sense of hearing, but the price is that he can no longer see it. This is a distinctive feature but also an undeniable flaw, and if this is also counted as the "basis for becoming a hero", he is not as good as us.
Looking at his living environment, he begins by stating that he is a lawyer who has just worked in partnership with a friend, and the work he is exposed to is basically a routine legal and criminal case. Unlike Marvel's other celestial pride, he lives in a place where there are no skyscrapers, no rainbow bridges, only crime and drugs, murder frame-ups, and corruption. The Avengers smashed building after building, and maggots in dark corners were bred behind the destruction and reconstruction. What the Night Devil man needs to deal with is the countless maggots born of the darkness behind the wind and fire.
Before, I saw someone say in Tieba that "he gives me the feeling of being like a wild boar", which is actually somewhat similar. In addition to Rosario Dawson, the appearance of the actors in this series is also below the average level of Marvel Studios, and there is basically no feeling that can make people shine. The female protagonist is not stunning, Kim and the figure is slightly thinner and slightly less temperamental; Fudge's excellent eloquence can make everyone forget his face, and the male protagonist is only slightly out of temperament.
Also in the Marvel Universe, the most special thing about night devils is that he does not have the gorgeous appearance and cool equipment of other superheroes, and he did not even have a decent outfit at the beginning. But because he's not in the altar, this guy is even more unique among the gods, and his story makes you feel like you don't have a sense of distance from superheroes.
His skills are all hard work, and his talent is also created by pain and strength. He's not like Iron Man, he has no obligation to society, he can live a life like us, he doesn't need to shoulder any bullshit mission, but the truth is, he still chooses to wipe away blood and tears, stand up, and fight every darkness and evil he sees to the end.
As a comic adaptation, Night Devil man is a bit fateful. Obviously, the influence of the manga is among the best, but the movie version in 2003 is not very brilliant. And now under the overall planning of the Marvel Universe, it has become the first link of the second-tier hero American drama plan, which will lead the rise of a number of street heroes such as Iron Fist, Divine Force, Jessica Jones, etc., and fully compete with DC in the niche field and form a new popularity. Such a work with an extraordinary mission is not as heavy as I thought, it gives me the feeling of the whole temperament of the male protagonist, blind, a little persistent and relaxed smile, but the smile reveals the winning ticket.
The Night Devil may be Marvel's lowest-cost investment so far. It doesn't have wonderful CG special effects, no gorgeous cast, and no sense of high-end and freshness that audiences are familiar with. But if you ask me what it has to beat Marvel's other works, I want to tell you: He makes me feel that heroes are not missions but choices, and if you want, you can do the same, which is something that any of the avengers can do.
