Most of it is more interesting than good. I would love someone to explain what the hell was going on in 123-130. 150-151 is interesting because it might have one of the first trans characters in comics history (it's also the first appearance of the Bloody Mary personality, which I thought was a later invention). I liked 109-116 quite a bit and it fits the themes of early Nocenti Daredevil (and is possibly a continuation of #236 and #247).

Honestly, I wouldn't like either of these for the Netflix series, they do not fit the tone of the shows. Maybe something with the face paint perhaps, but those outfits work in a comic book or at convention not in the MCU. Let's not forget to that the Netflix series likes to do slow burns with costumes so she certainly could get some variation during the season.
As for how the chose to do her origin, I'm not tied to anything here and wasn't a fan of the whole retcon where she was one of the girls in the brothel that Matt attacked in the MWOF. As long as it still connects to the core aspects of the character I will be fine with it.
While the Netflix shows are not perfect, they are what actually got me back to reading comics after about 15-20 year hiatus. And with Daredevil specifically, I had never read him as a kid and after reading most of the major runs I think they have done about as good a job as possible making the transition. Especially given what a train wreck the movie was this series has done so much to show people what a complex and layered character Matt is and how he is unique in the Marvel Universe. In addition to Daredevil I have also branched out to Iron Fist, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage comic series because I enjoyed their shows as well.
You mentioned them messing up Elektra; however, who really "got" Elektra other than Frank Miller in any medium? Again going back to movie, Elodie Yung is a million times more convincing as Elektra than Jennifer Gardner. Sure they could have done without the Black Sky stuff; however, one of the most important aspects (for me) when it comes to Elektra is her relationship with Matt and they chemistry between Elodie and Charlie was off the charts. The best parts of the Defenders was Matt in both his interactions with Elektra and Jessica.
As for Danny, I have faith based on what we saw in Luke Cage season 2 coupled with what has been said about the upcoming season that we are going to get the Danny we have all been waiting for since the beginning. And, honestly, while Iron Fist was certainly the weakest out of all the Netflix series it was not nearly as bad as people made it out to be.
I know this was discussed a bit earlier in the thread; however, how would you feel if you were a DC fan right now of character other than perhaps Wonder Woman? The movies have been a hot mess and the tv series, imho, pale in comparison to the Marvel Netflix series, even Iron Fist. And it looks like they are going to get worse with whatever that trailer was that dropped last week for the Teen Titans. You talk about characters being mishandled, I will concede I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to characters like Dick Grayson; however, I did read some Batman and Robin comics when I was younger and I do not remember him shooting people, breaking so many limbs or saying for Batman to "F off". All this to say that while we can certainly point out some of the flaws of the series; overall, its a good time to be a fan of Daredevil and Marvel in general.

Her comic book outfit could absolutely work. Keep in mind those are likely homemade and done well at that. Put some money behind those and they're not only visually striking, distinctive, but also reflective of the madness that she is. It'd be such a shame and waste to not bring that to the screen. A hoodie and jacket is as banal a look for a character as wild and dangerous as her as may be. But, as has already been said, she may not be full on Typhoid Mary in those set pics.
We'll have to wait for the show know what route they take with that.As for how the chose to do her origin, I'm not tied to anything here and wasn't a fan of the whole retcon where she was one of the girls in the brothel that Matt attacked in the MWOF.

Definitely.While the Netflix shows are not perfect, they are what actually got me back to reading comics after about 15-20 year hiatus.

I don't think IF season two will be any better than the first one. That trailer, or teaser, rather, was more of the same. His appearances in Luke Cage season two (which, while I haven't watched it, looks really bad based on clips and trailers) were exceedingly cheesy and cliche and came off almost cartoonish.As for Danny, I have faith based on what we saw in Luke Cage season 2 coupled with what has been said about the upcoming season that we are going to get the Danny we have all been waiting for since the beginning. And, honestly, while Iron Fist was certainly the weakest out of all the Netflix series it was not nearly as bad as people made it out to be.
Absolutely. I said as much a couple or a few pages back after that awful Titans trailer did nothing more than add to the utter garbage that is the DC CW shows and bolster my appreciation for how stellar some of the Marvel Netflix shows are by comparison.I know this was discussed a bit earlier in the thread; however, how would you feel if you were a DC fan right now of character other than perhaps Wonder Woman?

I think the assumption of a hoodie and a jacket being her outfit is a little premature. She was helping Iron Fist during the day in the set pics so she probably wasn't Typhoid there. She was probably just normal Mary there. She has 3 personalities so there are a few to pick from that will appear.
As for her comic costume, the Maleev look could easily be adapted without being too revealing. Here's a manip. I really hope they manage to have the Mamas and Papas song for her introduction/somepoint in the series as that was one moment I really loved in the Bendis/Maleev comics.
