There is no difference between "the Netflix Universe" and "the Disney Universe" the first repeatedly proved that it is a direct continuation of the Netflix show, and it looks like Season 2 will be even more closely follow up on what happened on the Defenders series, since it's put together with that being the intent from the beginning.
I can see her saying she would prefer to keep her natural hair and them going with it but I also think that when you make movie.especially a high profile one like this they make sure anything on screen is planned out in detail. From the clothes and hair style the actors have to the wording on every street sign and what vehicles they use, even if they are in the background. To much money involved to not focus on every little detail. No doubt they have GOD's knows how much market research on this stuff to make sure they go with the most safe picks or ones they think the audience wants to see the most.
Of course, I know how movie productions work, I've spent a good chunk of my life following movie and TV productions pretty closely. But the people making these shows and movie have repeatedly proven that they are a lot less concerned with matching every detail of the comics than the fans are. We've already gotten quite a few characters who look significantly different from the comics version, so it's not totally out of the realm of possibility that Sadie Sink could be playing a character who is not a red head in the comics.
I think that stuff though plays secondarily to people just wanting to see their favorite characters on screen. I also was a fan of The Falcon and the Winter Solider and personally I think if they had condensed that story into a movie, we might be having a different story for this movie. It really explored Sam WIlson way better than his own movie did and was better written .
Thing is we also know Sam Wilson is also in the movie. Who is to say he won't have a good role in the movie just because Steve Rogers is in it. If anything Sam Wilson might be so interesting it actually creates demand for he character to continue in the MCU. Almost a mea culpa for Brave New World.
I think Wilson is basically the team leader of the Avengers in the movie. They are one of several teams in the movie. I actually think Evans will be sharing the screen the most with Downey Jr/Doom. Doom doesn't really have a team exactly so far so they will need to give him some characters to interact with.
I could almost even see Evans as someone that the other teams have to work together I order to rescue him from Doom because Doom's plan hinges on doing something to Evans that can't be done or else all the good guys will loose. A Damsel in Distress for a lack of a better term.
You obviously have no idea just how bad racism is getting in the US right now. For people who have a problem with a black Captain America, screen time and what they're role in the story is, is not going to matter, all they'll about is that the "real" Captain America is back.
It is the same character but knowing Disney they will likely soften the edges to the character and we will get a watered down version of the character.
Not necessarily, they already proved with Brand New Day Season 1, and Daredevil & Wolverine that they're willing to take things pretty far when it's appropriate for the character.
Nothing wrong with killing corrupt cops but The Punisher has very little issue with killing any criminals. Which I know is seen as to much for some these days because you have people who feels like it glorifies violence. It's one of the reasons you see less anti-heroes these days. I mean people even get worked up over The Punisher skull symbol because a bunch of macho cops trying to look like bad asses put it on their cop cars and all that type of stuff.
Wow, you really are that naive aren't you? There is a lot more going on behind the issues people have with the use the Punisher's symbol in real life than just "macho cops wanting to look like bad asses".
IMO The Punisher character is not a hero but a anti-hero. He appeals to a darker aspect of our nature and that is our desire for revenge on people who do terrible and immoral things. With most people our empathy keeps these darker feelings in check and we try and embrace a higher moral code, that we call justice. The Punisher though just ignores that and flat out kills the bad guys. That is what makes the character interesting. We understand his desire for revenge but also don't approve of it thus we are suppose to have uncomfortable and complicated feelings towards his actions.
What I think DIsney does though is they basically don't trust the audience anymore to understand that lots of people want movies and tv shows to make them feel uncomfortable feelings and want to have their worldview challenged. So they end up coming up with a list of safe targets they feel people will be okay with being killed or being seen as terrible people. Thanks to police brutality being a serious issue raised in modern society that then makes immoral and corrupt cops as easy targets for Frank Castle to kill because nobody will complain about it, except for the usually suspects on social media.
You sort of see the same issues pop up in Batman and really any cop show these days. I much prefer the more challenging approach stories use to take to these stories and these issues in the early to mid 200's during the height of the golden age of tv.
I agree with that. But it makes me wonder what else are they going to do with the character. You can't just have him killing cops every time either. Basically I don't want them to hold back on the character just because they are afraid of what people on the internet will say. It's basically a issue I have with lots of tv shows and movies. The risk adverse approach that lots of studios take is not good for storytelling.
I really don't think anybody is going to have a problem with him going after mobsters and other kinds of criminals too.
