His brother, Castor, is the one that dies in the books- I've seen a few people think Elden's character dies but I think they just got them mixed up- he lives :D

Hey, Jon Favreau got recast as Foggy and that worked out great for him. I'm sure Elden would land on his feet. Lol

SA - ^^ JK in case that wasn't obvious. I've said it before but if you are pissed about something he does at a con, don't go and support him at a con. Nothing to do with whether or not he's right for or good as Foggy.

nayr but I don't want to recast Foggy, I like Foggy! However there was some talk here on the km about his character calling it in last season and everybody offered explanations and reasons and excuses why Elden may not have been invested in Foggy in s1. Okay, cool, whatevs. Elden has said a lot of things, sometimes questionable, sometimes with sass, a lot of little things that make it seem like yeah he's half-assing this job (for whatever reason).

If fandom looks beyond itself it would realize there's a lot of people who love the show but hate on Foggy for various reasons but the 'did the actor even give a shit' reason comes up a lot, and that bothers me. Maybe it shouldn't bother me because I'm just a fan, but it does. At this point I'm worried every time they give Elden a mic because he says something that just adds fuel to the hater fires out there.

Yesterday, Elden admitted he doesn't even read the DD scripts. He gets by because Charlie helps him. He admitted this and the rest of the cast laughed haha, while every actor who ever auditioned for the role of Foggy and were turned down wanted to vomit. Maybe not every actor, but I do know one guy who auditioned for the role of Foggy and wow, he was pissed, because if you're grateful to have a job, which Elden says he is, why not put in the effort to keep that job? Last season he had all sorts of reasons to not be invested in Foggy, so what's the reason this season? And doesn't Charlie have enough on his plate already but he helps Elden be prepared for scenes because Elden being (not)prepared is going to reflect on the whole show? I'm sorry if I'm venting here, I don't mean to hijack this post but once I read the thing about Elden showing up late for the cast signing, ugh. Fandom are going to see that interview with the cast and on one hand we have Deborah who was complaining about not getting the scripts fast enough and she'd love to get them faster to read them faster, and then we get Jon fucking Bernthal who is new to the cast and before Elden speaks up Jon gives a shout to how professional this DD cast are OH SO PROFESSIONAL! And then we get Elden talking about how he doesn't read the scripts. I just, I'm done, I can't. If Foggy keeps us happy in S2 then yay, but I'm pretty much done with Elden now. We're past the point of recasting Foggy, but now I'm seriously wondering what another actor might have brought to the show.

Please accept my apologies for ranting at all, the DD cast at NYCC was a thing of mad beauty, I just had this little thing stuck in my throat that needed to gtfo. I'm okay now, I'm better, carry on.

Idk. I'm in the process of being evaluated for hearing loss, but I hear plenty of 'I thought he was saying something else. Oh, that makes sense now. I thought that line was background noise' and so on when my friends and I watch with captions.

I'm holding out hope. I remember when the CA fandom thought Sebastian Stan was a huge douche because of a bit he did in a Daniele Rizzo interview.
Season 2 press junket will be where I make my final decision between problematic fav and 'should be recast with zach galifianakis'

He admmited it and Charlie said "He's not even joking".
I think that's just how he does his thing. He learns his lines and nothing else. It doesnt mean he is not invested in the character.
Jon said They all are professionals on the job meaning that it doesnt matter if you dont read what's coming up. If You go and you deliver, you are doing your job right.

But i think we are beign too hard on him. The girl also asked if they prepared the lawyering stuff and both Elden and Charlie said no. Charlie said there is not time to learn those stuff cause there are other things to do and that doesnt mean they pretend lawyers are shity.

So Elden not reading the scripts doesnt mean his Foggy is bad. Yeah it seems kinda unprofessional but he delivers and at the end that's what the production of the show wants. They want a person whio delivers what the character has to offer.

okay, i'm gonna be really honest here and i'm just gonna come out and say it: why do people even pretend to care about what elden does or does not do?

i don't buy that he NEVER reads the scripts. i just don't. i can't buy that because i personally liked his acting in season one and, idk, a guy not invested in the scripts to the point where he was never reading them just doesn't make any sense. i totally do think maybe he didn't have adequate time to be reading them (considering that even though that whole ordeal with his wife giving birth while he was literally at work 24/7 is over, he now has a child to help take care of) and i do think that part of the reason why he's having issues right now is because he's still juggling a lot. maybe he was overexaggerating and charlie was going along with the joke, but idk.

i also am not sure how i feel about this considering RDJ is notoriously hard to work with if you don't get along with him and i barely ever see any stuff on him. i don't mean to seem rude but it seems like people keep searching for ways to dislike elden based on offhand comments he makes at public appearances, and maybe that's just to be blamed on a case of loose lips. i just. idk where i'm going with this, just that people seem to be unusally hard on him.

(that being said i'm really sorry to everyone at nycc who didn't get a chance for a signing from him!!!)

same anon but also as a friend pointed out, it's not uncommon for actors to get scripts the day before or the day of shooting. it's also likely he's being half-truthful because in that small of a time frame you can't really waste time reading parts your role isn't related to.

(frozen comment) Re: Daredevil @ NYCC today

(Anonymous) 2015-10-11 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
da,

THIS.

Sometimes actors get script revisions 15 minutes before they shoot a scene. That's just how the movie business works.

Speculating why he does or does not read a script, or whether he actually gives a damn about this role, calls for us to be able to read his mind.

People need to find their chill.

LBR, no actor needs to learn surgery if they're playing a doctor on tv, but learning your lines is expected whether you're doing it at the last minute or not. TBH if none of them had time to learn their lines then production would stop, and nobody's having that. Instead Elden made it sound like Charlie is carrying him a little, however he meant it, and I just have a problem with that kind of unprofessional bs. I like to think his coworkers adore him, but whether Elden is delivering a good Foggy depends on the fans and there's a big divide out there on that topic. I was really sorry to see fans on twitter being cringe-worthy asshats directly to both Deborah and Marvel yesterday and even though the lack of professionalism makes my eye twitch, I'm super glad Elden doesn't have a twitter today.

THIS. There's a pattern forming with Elden so if we see his scenes/lines cut way down in S2, we'll know why. Maybe he'll be good, though. I hold out hope with you.

ep 3 court case

(Anonymous) 2015-10-11 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't understand something (everything, lol) about the court case in episode 3.

What was so important about that woman juror, the one who was being blackmailed? What were they trying to get her to do, and why did Matt want her off the jury?

Why was Matt disappointed that the jury was "hung"? Did he not want to win?

I don't understand this law stuff, lol ^^;

considering that even though that whole ordeal with his wife giving birth while he was literally at work 24/7 is over, he now has a child to help take care of

da - I don't think this is how you meant it but having a new baby doesn't break your ability to be professional. New mothers who are still breastfeeding can pull their weight as even day players alllll the time.

Re: ep 3 court case

(Anonymous) 2015-10-11 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
they were trying to make her deliver a not-guilty verdict against her will. matt wanted her off the jury because it was an improper way to conduct a case. just because it meant matt would win the case more easily was nothing to him.

honestly, i don't think matt really cared if he won or lost. he clearly thought there was something fishy with the guy, and he knew something was up, but he had to defend him so he made do and he tried to make his defense as solid as possible because lawyers have to do right by their clients no matter if they agree with the charges against them or not.

hope that helps!

Well D eborah doesnt read her twitetr she said herself. Her social media acc are not ehrs to control maybe she sees them a little but mostly is her PR agent wo does the job.... Why there were people mad at her? because she said teh same things the other said. She said she didnt have any training cause she doesnt need any unlike Jon, The woman playing Electra and Matt himself.

Elden's case like i said he is not the only actor that does that but maybe it's one that it's not afraid to said it out loud and yeah it might seem unprofessional but if he delivers his lines as he's supposed to Then the production will be happy as the rest of the team. The real problem is with us fans cause we feel liek he doesnt care and that might not be teh case maybe he likes to play with thigs on the set and do stuff directly.

In the interview he knew it look bad for him saying that and he tried to play it cool just like Charlie did.

Yeah you are rigth but Elden said in interviews that his wife got into depression after the birth and she was still strugling with it and he was learning everything new while shooting THG and DD season 1. So that migth affect his eprformance and he still did good
