    There is no reason some of the Netflix shows need to be removed from continuity, even if the actors return to the MCU with aspects of the personalities or style changed. Its no different than a new comics team taking over an established title. Events in the past continue to form the backstory of the character, and often only details relevant to the current story are referenced.

    Did I stutter? Not sure where the confusion lies here. I do not want to see the Kingpin at this point in Daredevils story. I do not believe this is difficult to understand.

    No need to assume if Kingpin does turn up it’ll be with or in connection to Daredevil. Though admittedly, right now there are few ground level characters for him to come into opposition to.

    I actually engaged with the Kingpin as a character. I would rather that not be diminished by oversaturation. There are very few Marvel villains I enjoy.

    i think the diffculty would be in understanding why you don't like the Netflix version of the character, as he is regarded by most as one of the great things of that show. It baffles many of us as when we see someone describe Tatiana Maslany as essentially not a good actress (while many of us who saw Orphan Black would say that show solidified her as an AMAZING actress).

    Nope. Much as I want to see her story to continue I no longer do any comic books. Live action, or animated series, or bust.

    It's not new news. She's made COVID-denying anti-vax statements in the past. (She's also homophobic and transphobic, so an all-round wonderful human being...)

    Regarding continued use of the Defenders/Netflix characters: If the BBC can embrace a G/PG rated series (The Sarah Jane Adventures), a PG rated series (Doctor Who), a PG-13 rated series (Class) and an R-rated series (Torchwood) in the same franchise with occasional crossovers, I don't see why Disney can't do the same with the MCU. Just make it clear which ones have adult content and which are more kid/family-oriented. And when the adult characters appear on the non-adult programming, just tone down the sex, violence and language.

    Disney has never allowed R rated material under the Disney brand.

    They allowed uncensored swearing in “Get Back”.

    Which was completely unprecedented. Peter Jackson remarked to Stephen Colbert during his interview (I can't remember if it was the original run or the extra material the following Monday...it's all on YouTube) that he was shocked he was allowed to include that material.

    Yep! That's how it works, once a person is an anti-vax advocate they fall under the category of the worst human beings ever. Glad she's in great company like Joe Rogen, Nicki Minaj, Aaron Rodgers, Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake, and the silent majority who have the right to choose what they can do with their bodies and not have the government mandate the people have to.

    Y'all are neither a majority nor silent.
