Call me jaded but the whole Daredevil coming back is like someone's made a cursed Monkey Paw wish.
"Would you please let me join your p-p-party?
Super excited about the 'She Hulk: Attorney at Law' angle, somewhat unimpressed with her non hulky appearance. Will definitely watch it anyway.

Isn't that established She-Hulk canon? She always just gets taller and slightly more buff, nowhere NEAR the extreme transformation of Banner's Hulk. Seems entirely in line with the material.
The design isn't really the problem. The quality of the CGI is. In many places the trailer makes her look like she stepped right out of Shrek, straight from 2001 and all.
IIRC, the baseline Shulkie is marginally stronger than baseline Hulk, but Hulk gets stronger as he gets angrier, and Shulkie doesn't (in her standard form; all Hulks have variants). The standard way Shulkie "gets stronger" is that Walters starts hitting the gym; the She-Hulk transformation multiplies Walters' natural strength, so if Walters gets jacked, She-Hulk gets JACKED. But she mostly never really hits the limit where that starts to matter, so it wasn't a major thing for most of her comic arcs.
There's something uncanny-valley about it. It may just need a lighting pass or something, though.The design isn't really the problem. The quality of the CGI is. In many places the trailer makes her look like she stepped right out of Shrek, straight from 2001 and all.
I suppose so. I admit I am posting from a point of ignorance. I was just expecting someone at least somewhat more hulky. Like at least half of the at least more serious female lifters on our team are more developed, myself included, so from my perspective, the physicality seems rather underwhelming, like just kind of green, blown up Tatiana Maslany. I was definitely expecting someone to look like, significantly developed, if not to the full extent as Hulk. If that's true to the comics, then it's totally understandable though.

Based on Hawkeye's version of Fisk, "new yet continued" sounds about right. They'll probably alter their design and behaviour, but unless stated otherwise, their story and past encounters are canon, if mostly irrelevant.
They won't say that he decapitated someone once with a car door, nor will we see him do it again, but they won't say that such a thing hasn't or would never happen either. They won't say that he smashed his father's head with a hammer, but they might allude to him having an abusive childhood and having dealt with it, stuff like that.
Daredevil doesn't need to be superdark or violent to work (unlike, say, Punisher), so I'm not too worried about the show being ruined just because it's "cleaner", but it needs to be well written to prove itself.
I seriously do not understand where you people get the impression that Disney's gonna force shows or characters to be less violent. They are under absolutely zero obligation to tone things down. If they wanted to put out a TV-MA version of Daredevil, they could with absolutely zero problems. And talking about Fisk's history wouldn't even push things up to that level; we just had Moon Knight where they talked about Bushmaster massacring a group of archaeologists and shooting his own friend (Marc) in the gut for trying to stop him, and that was rated TV-14.
This is the same Disney that backed most of Tarantino's earlier films, up through Kill Bill.
