Agreed, though I think the reason they all ended up doing it was to show they could do more with the characters if they don't have to worry about a PG-13 rating. I thought the tone was perfect for Daredevil and Jessica Jones but Luke Cage and Iron Fist should've been more 'fun.' Punisher too fits that mold. Going into those 3 yeah you expect guilt/self flagellation and grim darkness. I agree they feel in love with the idea that they could do things they couldn't in MCU-proper and the easiest way to go with R rated is to go for that tone. Edit: Well easiest to go into R Rating and not have Porky's style humor/raunchiness. Punisher, Daredevil and Jessica Jones have always been darker characters with darker storylines. Luke Cage, on his own, has always dealt with the social problems associated with "inner city" life and, he became a more grim character once he moved into Jessica Jone's orbit. Even Iron Fist saw darker storylines and action in the "The Immortal..." It's hard to put a positive or light-hearted spin on, brainwashing, sex trafficking, rape, murder-for-hire, government conspiracies, ninja death-cults and the light. Netflix didn't fall in love with anything other than the source material (i.e., Marvel Knights renditions of the characters). Tonal variety for its own sake should not be a thing. If it supports the character that's another story. |
