The thing I've always loved about Daredevil is like The Punisher hes not your generic goody-two-shoes superhero. Hes more of a vigilante than a superhero.
Paul Max Oh come on even Batman is a vigilante also. Sure there are some parts from Daredevil that are interesting than Batman but really he still similar. Daredevil ripoffs Batman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ripoffs Daredevil *not even kidding* Street Sharks ripoffs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle *obviously* Don't take my word from it I was just asking.
Such a weird characterization of Matt Murdock. He's as goody two shoes as you'll get. Yes he's flawed and has problems and has even broken his rule about killing, but that's exactly what makes him interesting in the dull grey moralization of so many characters nowadays.
@@kenzikapture3729 Actually, Batman ripoffed Daredevil. Daredevil was not that like Batman until Frank Miller started to write both of them. But since he wrote Daredevil first, technically Batman ripoffed Daredevil.
Whenever would Stan speak, I hear wisdom and humanity dripping out of his words. The feeling of respect and appreciation comes naturally with that. It's a fascinating thing, how a man can give billions of people ever needed hope and determination to never give up through something as peaceful and simple as a story told with words and images on paper. I hope the world will never forget Stan Lee. And at least for the upcoming centuries, I can't see that happen.
I'm realizing in this interview that Stan Lee's widow's peak is a bit off center. I'm wondering why he doesn't talk about Bill Everett's role in Daredevil's creation. Granted that Everett created Marvel's oldest superhero (Namor), I don't think that the man ever gets much credit. Good for the Netflix show putting the man's name on the opening credits. It took Bill Finger 70-something years to get his due for Batman.
He does @ the beginning but Bill did not had much of a hand in DD's creation outside of the Art Deign also I think he only did the 1st issue if I remember.
I love and respect Stan, but based on everything I've read it was actually Wally Wood who came up with the fully red costume. It's a crime they never brought him up in this documentary his run was amazing.
u moron..u sound like the steve ditko fanboys, its not about what the hero wears...its about WHO he is, WHAT drives him, WHY he does he do what he does and that's all stan lee buddy boy
@@wolverineiscool7161 I wasn't taking away Stan's credit for what he did with the character. Note the portion where I wrote "I love and respect Stan." Of course he did more than Wally Wood when it comes to the character of Daredevil. My point was about giving credit where credit is due when it comes to aspects of the character that various artists and writers incorporated. Stan Lee and Bill Everett are clearly the most important, as they created the character, then Frank Miller, and so on. In terms of the design of the character of Daredevil, it's obvious Wally Wood is important as many in the industry point out. Hell, Daredevil's red costume is nothing compared to Wally Wood's overall legacy in comics. And for your own sake, work on your grammar, syntax, and capitalization if you want to be taken seriously.
@Caitlyn Carvalho It was meant to be relatable to people with disabilities in general and to sell the idea just because they are disable, they aren't helpless. Daredevil still was able to find an audience with blind people, many were so enthused at the idea of a blind superhero, they had relatives or friends read the dialogue of the comics and explain what was happening on the page. Stan Lee originally feared Daredevil would be seen as mocking blind people, but they loved the character.
@Caitlyn Carvalho True, but everyone deals with "handicaps" so to speak that we perceive to hold us back, so imagine a blind Superhero who still risk his life every night at a job thats dangerous to even those who can see? That struggle, resolve and overcoming of obstacles is what makes him relatable. Him being blind is just a plot device.
@Caitlyn Carvalho Thats actually a very interesting premise, and I believe could be done if well handled. The trick is to never make it feel preachy or make the counter-argument cartoonish or have zero weight. Make the reader consider their point of view, or theres no drama.
@Caitlyn Carvalho I see what you're doing, and to respond to your question. No, but theres various stories of what happens when their secrets become known. They pay for it, along with those they care about..hence why they have secret identity in the first place. So are you even a fan of comics books, or are you just looking for stuff to hop on a soapbox about?
@Caitlyn Carvalho Yes, that lie creates conflict and obstacles. Something needed for the story and character development, and like I said the comics explored what happens when their identity is exposed...EVERYONE pays the price, not just the hero's. Like I said before..you seem to be looking for things to virtue signal about.
As a MASSIVE DD fan, this docu series is incredibly interesting to me hearing these stories, going in depth about their experiences doing work on the character. Would love to have a more updated docu series with guys like Ed Brubaker, Charles Soule and Chip going into detail about it.
The fact that they don’t talk to Ann Nocenti about DD was a big mistake. It renders this documentary incomplete. She was one of the best writers to ever touch the title.
Im very grateful to comic books , My older Brother would read them an I started to look at them , at that time I was too young to read , but looking at the panels I figured it out . Once I was able to read , DC , Marvel , Dell at were in our household my Sisters would read Archie , an I had my Brothers pass Me downs and the ones I bought each month at the local Drugstore on the rack, so I guess from 64'-70 I enjoyed each month the new issue of Captain America ,DareDevil, an the entire run , and was a member of the Marvel fan club , I bought some nice posters an stuff. I quit reading because of I found girls more interesting(LOL) , so fast forward to 2005 ,, I walked into a comic book store an I picked up Brubakers Captain America , now I was hooked again . I collected till 2012. I still buy the Marvel Masterworks , because the Silver Age was my time , an to zip to the past is incredible . Comic books brought this Kid to want to read , so take that naysayers .
"Being a man who makes very profound decisions, I said, 'Okay, how about red?' "... Oh god please let him be the first Homo Sapiens that just won't die...
Daredevil is awesome!! Such an unrated marvel hero, he's definately one of my favorites of all time, alongside Bats, Spidey and Wolverine.Cpt. America is pretty cool as well.
He's right about the words. I expanded my vocabulary so much from reading Marvel comics as a little kid that the Headmaster of my school referred to 9 year old me as "that boy who speaks like he's swallowed a dictionary".
💬Important words from Stan Lee at 4:10 He perfectly articulates what made his Marvel so distinct. Writing to the readers as friends, a sense of community, and positively impacting the vocabulary of the youth.
It's a reference to popularity. Grateful Dead are an iconic band with a highly dedicated fan base and a rich history, but they have never been HUGE among mainstream music fans, not on the same level as, say, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. Daredevil, too, has intense fans and a great deal of history, even if he's never been as widely known as Spider-Man or Superman. More of a cult figure.
I think he was listing artists who specifically left their mark on Daredevil. Kirby filled in for an issue or two, but the ones he listed played a major role in developing the Daredevil we know today.
Always make's me laugh when I hear how seriously uber nerds take comic characters. compared to Stan Lee who is so care free and casual about it. He gave 0 fucks, he just wanted to sell books.
For all this doc has going for it - and what is here is all good - the lack of coverage on Wallace Wood's creative contributions to Daredevil is deplorable, disgraceful, indefensible, outrageous, reprehensible, shameful, and disrespectful. Whoever edited the graphics, seems to know more than whoever conducted the interviews as, Wood's work is presented (telling part of the truth, between the lines) during this first segment, while the soundtrack barely mentions his name.
Someone like daredevil could never be made today because of two reasons. The first because what Stan feared would be the case,because no one would want to see this as kind of empowerment to a sad disability, they would just get offended for headlines. Secondly they would-if they were going to make him blind now a days- have no flaws and would only talk exclusively about his disability and not try to make it anything more than that. I also doubt he’d be catholic and if he was he’d be basically a catholic in name only. Thank god he was made when he was.
@Drummer1285 The Devil's Hand stuff was pretty good, yeah, but Shadowland was just so awful that I think it derailed Diggle's run. And Reborn was also pretty terrible.
Calm down, you don't need a million words describing how something isn't right or bad. What did Wallace Wood do for Daredevil? Maybe they wanted people who worked on Daredevil that were alive at the time of this documentary seeing as they're interviewing people about what they brought to their run on Daredevil.
A man with a disabilty fighting for justice in day and night as a lawer and a guardian devil is a hero keep heaven and hell when I die i'd rather go to Gotham city or the fly into the sky the the dreams of he we try to be those who can see are more blind me
though cost lot money think cool if done daredevil in brail with textured art so a blind person or person with sight could both pick up same comic and enjoy it. i see editor say got fite both words and brail in those word and thought bubbles are u insane?
There's a difference between *can't* and *not going to*. I'm not going to argue with you, but that's entirely different from saying I *can't* argue with you.
Daredevil has heightened senses, and more than an average blind person, the chemicals made his senses super human, blind people can't hear a heart beat and recognise when someone is lying, daredevil can, I'd say that's super powers, but your right, he is there version of batman.
I have always been suspicious about Stan Lee's self promotion of how a ""visionary" he was back in the day. Especially reading and knowing about how great artists such as Steve Ditch, Jack Kirby and others were mistreated and did not get the level of recognition they deserved.
7:38 He's the first guy to give credit. Ditko left for idealogical reasons, and Stan and Jack Kirby had fought in a very personal way. Persolity-clashing really. If you look up the actual information, and not just hearsay, you might not come off like such a punk.
Daredevil is among the most interesting and complex of Marvel characters!
970954894NG09 he's like Spider-Man with the senses fused with Batman martial arts/detective minus the fortune.
My personal favorite Marvel hero. He's multi-dimensional, badass, tragic but still able to crack wise. What more could you ask for?
"Okay, how 'bout red?"
Best thing you ever did with Daredevil!
The thing I've always loved about Daredevil is like The Punisher hes not your generic

he is a living legend. in 40-50 years if we live we will say to our grandchildren that we lived in his era.:))
Love Stan, but the best runs of DD are without a doubt Miller’s and Bendis’
I think daredevil is cool of all marvel cause he got balls to go out there and be a blind hero,that is friggin awsome
I LOVE that Stan didn't treat his younger fans like idiots when it came to the vocabulary in the comics

it would be great if they followed up on this by including the bendis and brubaker stuff. And then stop before the diggle run, of course.
Frank Miller THE BEST!
Was this an extra on a DVD or something because this is a really cool documentary so far
Yup, this was a documentary featured on the Daredevil 2003 movie DVD and Bluray.
i like when all marvel comics hade line said marvel comics group across top hope bring that bake
and as the man who makes profound decisions i said "okay how about red?" loooooool stan u'r funny
Did he really fail to mention Kirby among the top tier artists at Marvel? That's a sad shame. Should be the 1st name to come out of his mouth
because , there's some crap on who created what the editor or the Artist ? And a lawsuit ,Its sad , because one wouldn't be without the other.
Kirby did out line work on stories along with Lee. Wasn't it Wally Wood the was the first Artist ?
I know replying to a 7 year old comment is dumb. But jack kirby wasn't involved with daredevil.
I think he was listing artists who specifically left their mark on Daredevil. Kirby filled in for an issue or two, but the ones he listed played a major role in developing the Daredevil we know today.

They need to make a revised documentary... JUST to include Mark Waid's new run.
@Kadenuchiha what do u mean "DC creator?"
I asked my mother , a school teacher, what words like uncanny and invincible etc meant
Luckily for Stan, blind people won't get angry about this comic, they can't read
@ 6:43 -- a subliminal message sent to DC...
I’m 1,000 😜
I read a 1958 Green Lantern comic with a blind guy that used a radar. I knew right away where the idea for Daredevil came from... DC

Tbe idea of having daredevil become red. Because was stan lee wife she felt he should be red
