Original ‘Daredevil’ Showrunner Calls Out ‘Disney Scam’ of Naming New Series ‘Daredevil: Born Again’: It ‘Resets Contract Terms Back to First Season’ (variety.com)

“It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season,” DeKnight wrote on X/Twitter. “Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!”

GunnarRunnar,

Don't you think this show will be a little more than a vague reference or a quick cameo? I think you're making a really disingenuous argument here.

And those cameos or shared-universe things should be negotiated anyway and probably are. It actually is also somewhat helpful for the show to share the universe with another popular show, otherwise they wouldn't do that. But this isn't that. This is them going "you liked Netflix's Daredevil, so here, enjoy". That's their selling point. It's not from the makers of Daredevil, it's the same Daredevil.

GunnarRunnar,

Thanks for the tip! Agree to disagree about everything but I still I think your framing wasn't fair compared to the show in question. Have a nice day.

GunnarRunnar,

Makes no sense if it's the same premise, same major characters and basically the same recipe as the original -- which seems to be its selling point. But the mouse fucks over whoever it can.

GunnarRunnar,

What can I say, it kinda pisses me off that they set me up and can't even answer the question.

Good news is that since I'm easily replaceable the next guy can worry about the perfect apology.

GunnarRunnar,

That sounds like their jobs require no talent and are easily replaced. Is it so?

GunnarRunnar,

I was basing my question on the plan how Google uses contract work. Well it's fucking hard to just throw that staff away if it's not easy or what? Try to fucking give two seconds of thought before being an asshole fucking shit head.

My question was about them not being easily replaceable, like that other comment seemed to describe.

Have a shit fucking life.

GunnarRunnar,

Sorry about coming off as rude but all I wanted was an answer why they'd be easily replaceable because that's the only way Google can willynilly just fire the entire staff. Otherwise the premise doesn't make sense.

But you're probably six feet deep on a five foot pole so apologies probably won't do too much for your.

GunnarRunnar,

Not at the moment at least, if ever.

GunnarRunnar,

I thought you were saying ai was able to create that final book with an ending? I guess not.

GunnarRunnar,

Okay, now do a coherent book with themes and plot that carry through out the whole book.

GunnarRunnar,

Tried browsing Temu on mobile browser. Fucking impossible. They push the app so hard that the website is basically unusable after few clicks. Compared to them, Reddit's gentle reminder feels like a favor.

Anyway, turned me off totally from the site. If someone wants me to use their app when I'm potentially a paying customer, website or not, seems really suspicious. Seems like my instincts were correct.

GunnarRunnar,

Microsoft is a good underdog because they have infinite money. And a really bad market leader, I bet worse than Sony. It would've been way better for the industry to not let them acquire the big boys they have.

GunnarRunnar,

It was kinda ambiguous how deep they were going to stick it up the devs' ass.

GunnarRunnar,

Fuck off. The tech got popular and public got educated on what makes it work.

Indiana Jones has been rocking the same attire for 30+ years. Do you know anyone similar in real life?

It's actually 57 years if you start the counting from when he got the hat in The Last Crusade's prologue in 1912 to the newest one that takes place in 1969, and 34 years if you start counting from the first chronological movie, The Temple of Doom that took place in 1935....

GunnarRunnar,

40 second load times are pretty dreadful in a genre that by design has a lot of them.

GunnarRunnar,

Why do people behave as if Starfield was the first game not released on PlayStation?

Who is doing that? It's just blatantly obvious that it would've been released on PlayStation without Microsoft meddling and their games sell a shitload, I mean Skyrim has been chugging along over a decade now. So I'm not really sure how Starfield is irrelevant to Ms buying shit conversation.

It's not what being an exclusive means (let not get into linguistics here, I mean strictly the gaming industry term). I agree this specific case was anticompetitive but framing it as an exclusive just weakens this point in my opinion and allows to shift the debate away from it.

Away from what? Everyone knows what it means -- or maybe I don't, please enlighten me in that case.

GunnarRunnar,

And funnily enough Starfield being Xbox/PC exclusive is an example why their hoarding is bad for gaming, and why the Activision deal shouldn't pass.

GunnarRunnar,

So I don't remember where but I'd heard about Microsoft wanting to buy Nintendo long time ago. The suits are always spitballing.

GunnarRunnar,

It's more like a default platform seeing as even former PlayStation exclusives are slowly getting a PC release as well. And I did call Starfield Xbox/PC exclusive, not just Xbox.

It's probably not the word to describe what's getting released where and stems from marketing but it's commonly used in gaming so most understand its meaning.
