Fans Want to ‘Save Daredevil’ as Character Rights Revert Back to Marvel Studios
D'Onofrio also recently, as of last week, asked fans to sign a petition that would save the series, in its full Netflix-y cast and tone form, and basically just have it transfer over to a Disney-owned platform. D'Onofrio also seems aware that the third MCU Spider-Man film contains Kingpin opportunities...Say it with me, people…#SaveDaredevil https://t.co/xYOOPr9NIa

There are many things to consider when it comes to "saving" a series. While it would be great to just have Daredevil revived as a show and continue on from where there story left off, it would be weird for Disney to, essentially, only have half the series right now. The first three seasons live on Netflix so those wanting to watch for the first time, or rewatch from the beginning, would have to go to a large streaming competitor to do so. Of course, Marvel may get the first three seasons of the show back eventually, as other shows Netflix has saved -- like The Killing and The Fall -- eventually do leave the platform. Best guess, if this happens, Daredevil could live on Hulu (given its edgier tone). But then again, we've seen so many of Marvel's Hulu shows die on the vine over the past few years - from Runaways to the poorly-received Hellstrom to the Ghost Rider series that never happened (oh, and the nixed New Warriors show). Most likely, the best avenue, if there is one, is for the actors to reprise their roles, in a supporting capacity, in an MCU movie or in one of the many upcoming MCU Disney+ shows.

Immortals Fenyx Rising Review
Immortals Fenyx Rising knows perfect is the enemy of good. Typhon, its big bad, is obsessed with perfection; as he overthrows the gods of Mount Olympus and strands them on the Golden Isle, he strips them of their essences, and with those essences, the flaws that made them legend. Aphrodite loses her passion, pettiness, and jealousy; Ares his rage; Hephaistos his suffering; Athena her self-righteousness. In their quest to reclaim those essences, Fenyx, a lowly soldier in search of their brother Ligryon, argues those flaws should be celebrated, not forgotten. Their tale doesn't always impart that lesson, but it's able to deftly take its own flaws in stride and, while not reaching the highs of the gods it worships, earn its own praise.
Fenyx Rising sets the bar high for itself by borrowing heavily from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. You can climb your way up just about any solid surface if you have enough stamina; one of your four major abilities lets you magically float objects above your head and move them around to solve puzzles; the Golden Isle is littered with vaults, one-off puzzles that take place in self-contained parts of Tartaros. The list runs deep.
Despite all the borrowed elements, Fenyx Rising hews closely to Ubisoft's flavor of open world. At first, it was hard not to treat every similarity I spotted as a point of comparison. Fenyx Rising, for example, lacks a real sense of exploration. You're rarely lost, since the first thing you do in every region is head to the nearest vantage point, scout the area to reveal it on your map, then mark a bevy of collectibles and activities to chase. I never got the sense I was "exploring" the Golden Isle so much as I was beelining it to all the icons I'd already marked, which told me exactly what I would find when I reached them. I wasn't paying much attention to the world around me because nothing is really "hidden," which is disappointing only because in its early hours, Fenyx Rising did remind me of the spacious Hyrule of Breath of the Wild, where every rock formation or tree stump hinted at some surprise worth telling someone else about.
