Hope they don’t do their specialty and ruin it with rewrites/reshoots
darthyogi2025-11-26 19:46
They won’t. They saw what happened when they did that last time. If they delay it hopefully that means they are making sure it’s done right
scooter-4112025-11-26 19:58
The rewrites and reshoots are what saved it last time.
Sprite_King2025-11-26 20:14
At the cost of having some really awkward editing that would ruin the pacing a bit

DecoyOne2025-11-26 19:54
Rewrites and reshoots are always terrible except when they’re not
Johnny02302025-11-26 19:57
Every single Marvel movie and TV show, and not only, has reshoots. The "Avengers Assemble" scene exists thanks to reshoots.
16tdean2025-11-26 20:14
And the, "I am iron man" in endgame.
RDJ had wrapped up marvel as far as he was concerned and they had to get him back in for it.
Johnny02302025-11-26 20:17
exactly, among other things all the iconic scenes of that film were not even in the script, given that today we speak of a tragedy for a supposedly incomplete script
fistkick182025-11-26 21:55
and "On your left" in Endgame as well
kuhpunkt2025-11-27 14:55
>And the, "I am iron man" in endgame.
That's just an added line, not changing storylines or the tone or anything.
16tdean2025-11-27 15:00
Its literally one of the biggest lines in the entire movie, that they wrote into the script and reshot for what point are you trying to make lmao
kuhpunkt2025-11-27 15:06
It's just a line... it's a good line. It makes the scene better. But equating adding a line with a ton of reshoots is silly.
16tdean2025-11-27 15:21
It required a massive reshoot operation, they had to secretly get RDJ back in for it lmao.
Not_Steve2025-11-26 20:28
Except for our perfect boy Loki season 2.
But yes, reshoots can be helpful.
Johnny02302025-11-26 20:38
Secondo me hanno cambiato il finale, since they have partially closed the story of Kang, a character who until a few months before was the main villain of the saga.
Same for the "and I am Ironman" from the same movie. Those two reshoots turned that movie into an all-timer vs just a great movie.
Doright362025-11-26 20:51
People don't realize that most re-shoots are planned ahead of time. They are for cleaning up issues they find in post when cutting together the movie.
Sometimes it's just simple pacing things or a scene doesn't work fully as filmed and they want to add a little to it to clean it up.
Other times it's little more than just getting a different or better reaction shots of the characters that fit the scenes better or a better transition between scenes, than what they have in the can..
Rarely (though it happens from time to time) are they re-shooting large portions of the movie.
Anternixii2025-11-26 20:28
Saved is a very generous term
duxdude4182025-11-26 20:37
Only becuase the initial premise was so muddled by studio interference to begin with. They had to completely retool the show midway through filming which is not really the purpose of reshoots.
Poelover69692025-11-26 20:48
Saved? S1 was very mid imo.
NoobFreakT2025-11-26 20:49
Nah the rewritten material was actually worse
MasterAnnatar2025-11-26 21:17
Yeah IMO the best whole episodes of s1 were the first and last which were both reshoots.
Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d2025-11-27 00:58
Apparently Cox and D'Onofrio gave their thoughts and opinions during it too. On Wikipedia:
>D'Onofrio said Feige in particular listened to him and Cox when the pair expressed their concerns
Exotic-Eggplant19142025-12-20 21:46
Half saved, honestly a lot about s1 of born again still sucks but the best parts of it by far are the rewrites. If only they had written the whole show from the start
-MS-94-2025-11-26 20:16
Born Again needed rewrites and reshoots to redirect the entire show back in line with the Netflix version. Unless you disagreed with that, then fair enough.
Ironsam8112025-11-26 20:21
The irony is that this show was the exception to the rule and saved the show

I won't be surprised if those three are all dropping around the same time

Spider-Man and Punisher probably will, since they're movies. I imagine Daredevil would need a proper release, given that it would cover, I imagine, eight weeks.

the special comes out next year, but it's a movie on the streaming platform
el_palmera2025-11-26 21:22
It's not a movie. It's a disney plus special, like werewolf by night or the guardians christmas special
thededsiriuss2025-11-26 21:24
I hope we get Frank Family Festival Flashbacks with him going absolutely unhinged.
UserWithno-Name2025-11-26 21:47
That’s basically a short movie or a full length/ extended length episode though. Some people think of it in the movie way, others might as the extended tv way.
el_palmera2025-11-26 21:52
Werewolf by night was 50 minutes and gotg christmas special was 40 minutes. I'm not sure what 40 minutes movies you're watching
UserWithno-Name2025-11-26 21:54
50 isn’t too far away from an hour and in the past, movies could be 1 hr-1.5. The word is the punisher thing is supposed to be at least 1 hr I think. I literally said a short movie, when it’s not a series of episodes and the fact of how content is now, if there’s not multiple episodes of it I’m not thinking of it as Tv, I’m thinking of it as a shortened movie. To each their own, but when there’s not another classification for it and “special” doesn’t work / sound right to some of us, idk why it is odd to think of it as a short movie.
el_palmera2025-11-26 21:56
Well it's odd because it's been announced and defined as a special and not a movie. I'm on reddit though so I realize we don't operate on reality
UserWithno-Name2025-11-26 23:40
That’s just how they want to market it. A special to me is like a Christmas special or a “reunion special”.
If Henry sugar is 45 minutes and is a movie, so are these. Albeit a short film in technicality
Dan_Of_Time2025-11-26 22:43
> To each their own, but when there’s not another classification for it and “special” doesn’t work / sound right to some of us, idk why it is odd to think of it as a short movie.
I think it genuinely might be a bit of a regional thing. Here in the UK the word "TV Special" is used a lot to describe certain one off episodes of shows that don't need to use any typical numbering or anything. A 40/50 minute single episode of something is sort of in line with how some shows here would just do it.
A "TV Special" is definitely the right wording for it I think, D+ going for "Special Presentation" is a bit weird but it gets the gist of it.
UserWithno-Name2025-11-26 23:39
Maybe, to me a special is more like the recent Raymond reunion show/ episode whatever or the friends or Harry Potter ones during Covid. Something that isn’t a podcast, isn’t a proper scripted story really, more like a get together, or if it’s scripted it’s a one occurrence thing like those 30th anniversary episodes or something.
The way I see it with these, they’re just movies that they don’t want to pay for 2+hours of or do a full script/ crew/ budget etc for and / or also don’t think could stand up in the box office. So cut it in half to about an hour, or just over, slap the “special presentation” logo on it and release on d+ to try to get more subs there. So I don’t get why they have an issue with other people saying they’re movies or seeing them as such, same as I said it’s fine for people to think of it as just a one singular episode thing. Cause the really only thing that separates content like this, is time and is it a movie or is it an episode. In most senses or how it gets labeled for any awards or in a library of content etc. Which like I said, I just don’t see it the same way or like Christmas specials or Halloween specials etc. And I don’t see how that’s a problem for some people to also have trouble seeing it the same or calling it a movie or short film or something instead.
If Henry sugar is still a movie/ short film and only 45 minutes, so are these. They’re just shaved down so Disney can pull the budget tighter because they have wanted to do that for a while.
ProudTexan18362025-11-26 23:58
"Special" was used a lot when I was growing up.
Shows would often have a "Holiday Special" for Christmas and Halloween and it would be around 40-50 minutes long as opposed to most episodes being around 24 minutes long.
"Special" was also used for any episode that was 40-50 minutes long in a show where 24ish minutes were the norm.
Often to wrap up an arc or showcase some sort of 'fight' or something like that.
Kinda like a mini-movie. (Movies in my opinion should be at least two hours long to be considered a movie)
I haven't seen this term used much since streaming overtook cable, but it was definitely used in America when I was growing up.
"Special Presentation" was not used when I was growing up (that I remember) it was always "Special* or like you said "TV Special"
prodigalkal72025-11-26 23:37
I'd be extremely surprised, since Disney /Marvel needs every single win they can get right now and they won't risk cannibalizing sales or eyeballs on product
TheMikeyC2025-11-26 19:57
And hopefully it starts with Matt waking up from the nightmare that was last season undoing his victory against Kingpin and writing off two thirds of the primary cast.
I know it's a hot take but last season was an awful continuation of a show I absolutely loved.
eyebrows3602025-11-26 20:05
Nah come on, it wasn't that bad. Much closer to Picard season 3 than Picard season 1.
TheMikeyC2025-11-26 20:10
I never made it past one episode of Picard so I wouldn't know. I gave the new season of Daredevil two episodes but watching one of my favorite hero stories be undone to make a bad Trump allegory is just obnoxious to me. I hate the current regime but I don't need the most on the nose comparison ever made in media to tell me he's bad. Plus they got rid of Matt's support and replaced them with generic office workers I cant even remember. Seeing the new season so heavily praised makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
fuzzyfoot882025-11-26 20:24
Before you attach real world politics to this…Fisk as Mayor was a storyline in the comics about a decade ago. And the storyline with Vanessa and the Pier was started in the Iron Fist show…
There are also comic stories about Matt losing his supporting cast “for a reason”.
Maybe give it an actual shot before writing it off over something minor like “the arch nemesis came back again.”
TheMikeyC2025-11-26 20:39
In this case the arch nemesis was fully and soundly beaten beyond any chance of exoneration. Kingpin has absolutely no more outs or passes. He's completely folded and done. Matt unmasked himself in front of Kingpin and told him he beat him. It was the ending of a three season arc that the new season just casually undoes. I dont care if Fisk being mayor is in the comics, in the continuity of the show, he should be in prison for life. But instead they saw easy politics points and decided to tell a Trump story. Again, fuck Trump with a cactus, but I don't need Daredevil to tell me a criminal running things is bad.
I'm writing it off after trying two episodes. In both episodes I didn't like the creative choices they made in continuing the show. So much so that I'm simply not interested in it's story. I'm certainly not interested in some plot thread from Iron Fist.
eyebrows3602025-11-26 20:46
> I'm writing it off after trying two episodes
Wish I'd done this with The White Lotus, instead of hate-/bored-watching all three goddamn seasons.
TheMikeyC2025-11-26 20:49
It drastically improved my watching experiences. I know I come across as a wild hater in this thread but I promise I wanted to love this show so much. I just had to accept the show wasnt going to suddenly pivot back to what I like since they're all in on the first three seasons meaning absolutely nothing.
Similarly, I'm gonna just pass on the Avatar show. Korra was a massive disappointment and I don't see any reason why Seven Havens isn't going to entrench itself into more of the boring YA slop that make Korra feel insanely dated already. I won't be watching seasons 2 or 3 on Netflix either because 1 fundamentally fucked up everything I loved already. Only more disappointment can follow. The Last Airbender cartoon is timeless and will always be on my shelf.
fuzzyfoot882025-11-26 20:55
Yeah I don’t the think the MCU is for you anymore. Move on to other things you enjoy. Be happier. No use sticking around if you’re just going to rage bait yourself on reddit threads.
TheMikeyC2025-11-26 21:02
Or I can continue to watch my cape media all I like with whatever nuanced opinions I have. There's no use gatekeeping your hero stories either. You'll live a happier life not telling other what to do and how to think about your precious cape-kinos. I didnt like a popular show, get over yourself. I also liked Love and Thunder and I thought Fantastic 4 should have been a soft reboot for the MCU.
This is a forum for our dumb comic stuff. I have an opinion. I'm sorry my dissent from the House of Feige perturbed you.
fuzzyfoot882025-11-26 21:08
I mean…there’s watching, and then there’s hate watching. But you’re right, it’s a forum, and people on forums are easily blocked to maintain the type of discussion I’d prefer to engage in.
TheMikeyC2025-11-26 21:14
Except I'm not hate watching. Stop prescribing mindsets to other people. I said I stopped watching when I realized I didn't like it. The exact opposite of hate watching. I'm explaining why I stopped that particular story.
eyebrows3602025-11-26 20:40
Seconding everything /u/fuzzyfoot88 said. I was unsure during the first couple episodes too, but distinctly remember being fully on board with it by the end of four.
> I never made it past one episode of Picard so I wouldn't know.
Ignore the rest of season 1 and 2, they're awful - *especially* given you hate on-the-nose contemporary messaging, which they're full of.
But! Season 3! It's *almost* an entirely different show.
TheMikeyC2025-11-26 20:46
The thing is though, by the end of episode two any interest I had was gone. Most of what I came to the show for was was either gone or drastically changed. Going beyond those episodes would be just be a mental chore for me.

A project can still be delayed even if it has finished filming, it could be for a variety of reasons, like maybe they are going to do some heavy reshoots, maybe they need time for VFX, maybe they don't wanna compete with something else, maybe they feel a different release window may be better suited for the project.

raze4642025-11-27 00:25
Seeing how the date was never publicly announced, I'm betting the press site having that date was a mistake.
Jumpy_Cup_84262025-11-27 00:37
Yes it was. The showrunner said it himself
raze4642025-11-27 00:45
The showrunner gave a release timeframe of March 2026 but no specific date.
The March 4, 2026 was not announced by Marvel or Disney and the only source for that date was the press site.
Jumpy_Cup_84262025-11-27 00:57
You’re forgetting the word “official”. It’s Disney’s official press site, not just another speculative news site such as ScreenRant. Furthermore, Marvel never denied the news when it broke out, and the date being March 4 lined up because, as you just said, the showrunner said March 2026 was the timeframe. So yeah, the release date wasn’t speculation nor an estimate. It was official
raze4642025-11-27 01:09
None of that contradicts the fact that, like I said, the date was never **publicly** announced.
Jumpy_Cup_84262025-11-27 01:15
But it became public information that Disney never denied. Don’t you think someone would’ve said “no that isn’t the release date”? Also, whether it was publicly announced or not, it was still on their site. Marvel may not have said anything publicly for this very reason, that it was subject to change. But evidence suggests that March 4 was, at a time, the plan, with or without a public announcement. This isn’t the first time we’ve found out something like this either. Pedro Pascal’s casting as Reed Richards was listed on SAG-AFTRA’s website like a week before the announcement was made. Besides, I don’t think Disney would just let anyone get on their site and make something up like that. It isn’t Wikipedia.
raze4642025-11-27 01:38
Lots of words to justify how the date is **official** when I have only ever talked about how it was never **publicly announced**.
Jumpy_Cup_84262025-11-27 01:43
Your parent comment also said that you bet the press site having that date was a mistake. I admit that it was never explicitly stated that it would come out on March 4 by Disney or Marvel, but you also said “I’m betting the press site having that date was a mistake”. It most likely wasn’t. It fell in line with what the show runner did say about the timeframe, and it isn’t the first time something like this has been leaked. You may be right about the whole “public announcement” thing, but you also did talk about the validity of the date on the website. Reread your parent comment.
raze4642025-11-27 02:20
> Your parent comment also said that you bet the press site having that date was a mistake.
And I stand by that. Especially when the press site is not always accurate.
For example, in October 2023, the [Thunderbolts press site](https://web.archive.org/web/20231020002339/https://dam.gettyimages.com/thewaltdisneystudios/thunderbolts) said it was releasing on July 26, 2024 but the movie had already been delayed to Dec. 2024 on June 13, 2023, five months earlier. Why keep using an old release date for *five months* when the movie already has a new release date?
Clearly still having the old date for Thunderbolts was a mistake, just like having March 4, 2026 for Born Again S2 was also a mistake.
Jumpy_Cup_84262025-11-27 02:30
So now you’re complaining that they once publicly announced a release date delay and forgot to change the site, whereas this time they forgot to publicly announce a release date delay before changing the website. Maybe it’s their word to the public that’s now outdated, not the site. Again, sometimes sites change dates without announcing it to the public yet. The fact that the show no longer has a specific date on the site anymore is probably why Disney hasn’t said anything. They don’t want to pull a Spider-Verse and just say “Born Again is delayed indefinitely”. They want to give us an actual release date, which they no longer have

Plenty_Party2972025-11-27 14:56
This is very disappointing to hear. I'm just hoping that the reason Disney has (re)moved it is to make it tie in more closely to what's happening in Spiderman Brand New Day and the Punisher Special Presentation. Perhaps timeline or storywise that date just didn't work. That's what I'm choosing to believe anyway, but it's sad.
thom_sawyer2025-11-27 19:47
Cancelling Disney plus was a good choice. I’ll sub for a month whenever this comes out

I can only speculate that delaying it means, either it's competing with another Marvel ordeal, or they are improving some aspect of it. That said, best to be patient, as I trust, Marvel won't let us down.

I like how the Marvel universe went from a well-oiled machine to a galactic shitshow.

March 4 would have clashed with Wonder Man. Differences in tone aside, I don't see them having two live-action series set in the same universe streaming at the same time.

RDJ had wrapped up marvel as far as he was concerned and they had to get him back in for it.
That's just an added line, not changing storylines or the tone or anything.
But yes, reshoots can be helpful.

Ke Huy Quan was actually sad that there weren’t reshoots because he wanted to spend more time on the project and in London where they were shooting.

Sometimes it's just simple pacing things or a scene doesn't work fully as filmed and they want to add a little to it to clean it up.
Other times it's little more than just getting a different or better reaction shots of the characters that fit the scenes better or a better transition between scenes, than what they have in the can..
Rarely (though it happens from time to time) are they re-shooting large portions of the movie.
>D'Onofrio said Feige in particular listened to him and Cox when the pair expressed their concerns
Why is this getting delayed
If Henry sugar is 45 minutes and is a movie, so are these. Albeit a short film in technicality
I think it genuinely might be a bit of a regional thing. Here in the UK the word "TV Special" is used a lot to describe certain one off episodes of shows that don't need to use any typical numbering or anything. A 40/50 minute single episode of something is sort of in line with how some shows here would just do it.
A "TV Special" is definitely the right wording for it I think, D+ going for "Special Presentation" is a bit weird but it gets the gist of it.
The way I see it with these, they’re just movies that they don’t want to pay for 2+hours of or do a full script/ crew/ budget etc for and / or also don’t think could stand up in the box office. So cut it in half to about an hour, or just over, slap the “special presentation” logo on it and release on d+ to try to get more subs there. So I don’t get why they have an issue with other people saying they’re movies or seeing them as such, same as I said it’s fine for people to think of it as just a one singular episode thing. Cause the really only thing that separates content like this, is time and is it a movie or is it an episode. In most senses or how it gets labeled for any awards or in a library of content etc. Which like I said, I just don’t see it the same way or like Christmas specials or Halloween specials etc. And I don’t see how that’s a problem for some people to also have trouble seeing it the same or calling it a movie or short film or something instead.
If Henry sugar is still a movie/ short film and only 45 minutes, so are these. They’re just shaved down so Disney can pull the budget tighter because they have wanted to do that for a while.
Shows would often have a "Holiday Special" for Christmas and Halloween and it would be around 40-50 minutes long as opposed to most episodes being around 24 minutes long.
"Special" was also used for any episode that was 40-50 minutes long in a show where 24ish minutes were the norm.
Often to wrap up an arc or showcase some sort of 'fight' or something like that.
Kinda like a mini-movie. (Movies in my opinion should be at least two hours long to be considered a movie)
I haven't seen this term used much since streaming overtook cable, but it was definitely used in America when I was growing up.
"Special Presentation" was not used when I was growing up (that I remember) it was always "Special* or like you said "TV Special"
I know it's a hot take but last season was an awful continuation of a show I absolutely loved.
There are also comic stories about Matt losing his supporting cast “for a reason”.
Maybe give it an actual shot before writing it off over something minor like “the arch nemesis came back again.”
I'm writing it off after trying two episodes. In both episodes I didn't like the creative choices they made in continuing the show. So much so that I'm simply not interested in it's story. I'm certainly not interested in some plot thread from Iron Fist.
Wish I'd done this with The White Lotus, instead of hate-/bored-watching all three goddamn seasons.
Similarly, I'm gonna just pass on the Avatar show. Korra was a massive disappointment and I don't see any reason why Seven Havens isn't going to entrench itself into more of the boring YA slop that make Korra feel insanely dated already. I won't be watching seasons 2 or 3 on Netflix either because 1 fundamentally fucked up everything I loved already. Only more disappointment can follow. The Last Airbender cartoon is timeless and will always be on my shelf.
This is a forum for our dumb comic stuff. I have an opinion. I'm sorry my dissent from the House of Feige perturbed you.
> I never made it past one episode of Picard so I wouldn't know.
Ignore the rest of season 1 and 2, they're awful - *especially* given you hate on-the-nose contemporary messaging, which they're full of.
But! Season 3! It's *almost* an entirely different show.
…. Right?
Disney you mfs
*skims comments*
Yep.
The March 4, 2026 was not announced by Marvel or Disney and the only source for that date was the press site.
And I stand by that. Especially when the press site is not always accurate.
For example, in October 2023, the [Thunderbolts press site](https://web.archive.org/web/20231020002339/https://dam.gettyimages.com/thewaltdisneystudios/thunderbolts) said it was releasing on July 26, 2024 but the movie had already been delayed to Dec. 2024 on June 13, 2023, five months earlier. Why keep using an old release date for *five months* when the movie already has a new release date?
Clearly still having the old date for Thunderbolts was a mistake, just like having March 4, 2026 for Born Again S2 was also a mistake.
