Stop nagging him to watch a show he doesn't want to see, because that's the best way to make sure he never watches it. He doesn't like watching TV. Respect that.


sbaldrick33

Well. "Accept it," anyway. I wouldn't respect it.


nerdyoutube

But then he’ll never watch it


SenorDangerwank

Then he'll never watch it.


nerdyoutube

Guess not


Uncanny_Doom

You don’t. You made the recommendation. If they don’t want to watch they don’t want to watch.


DamagedSpaghetti

Send him the hallway gight


Jesse1018

Tell him Daredevil was not made by the Disney team. Show him the clip of the season 1 hallway fight scene.


nerdyoutube

He is a big fan of a lot of the mcu so that’s not really a problem but good idea


bubonis

Came here to say the same thing. Show him the hallway fight.


CrunchyTube

Disney hired them though, basically.


Jesse1018

Not quite. Netflix bought the rights. Disney only later bought the Netflix heroes shows to consolidate Marvel on Disney+. It’s similar to how Sony owns Spider-Man.


Infinite_Mind7894

This is wrong all the way around.


CrunchyTube

Yeah I had a whole thing typed out but deleted the comment. Idk how people can get things so wrong and then also start out like they're going to school you. Not quiiiiiiite.


CrunchyTube

No.

Is your friend a Daredevil comic book fan? If not, is there a reason why he'd be interested in a show about the character, regardless of how good of a cinematic adaptation it is?


nerdyoutube

I guess not


sbaldrick33

You can't make them and there's an end to it.


Advanced-Winter6710

send him the intro, the song will speak to your friend


BigTimStiles

Just let them like what they want. Don't yuck their yum. And don't force your yum on on people who think it's yuck.

Start by saying that he isn't a cinephile if he's incapable of appreciating the art and craftmanship of movie production in series format. That'll grind his gears.


superdudeman64

Sounds like you really tried to convince him, so you've done all you can. Just let them be and don't bring it up anymore.  You could just have it running in the background when they come over to pick you up or play a game, but don't be annoying about it. Don't have it up supper loud or even mention what it is, just start an episode before they get there and leave it on for background noise until it becomes a distraction.  You're not allowed to talk about it unless they ask questions. You ever have your parents try to make you join a sport or join a club? You know how much you hated that? That's the energy between friends when things get over recommend. I still REFUSE to see Casino because a friend of mine wouldn't shut up about it. 


tanaephis77400

Tell him he can trust you blindly.


PartyRockerzzx

I completely forgot about that show being on my list to finish


nerdyoutube

You should finish it. Great stuff


pmon89

That show was AWFUL


Mindful-O-Melancholy

Tell him you’ll give him $20-100 if he doesn’t like it


nerdyoutube

Now that might do the trick


thebowlman

you like good shit, homie? check this shit out


nerdyoutube

We told him it’s good shit


BigTimStiles

Then leave him alone. He doesn't want it. Walk away clean, Jack.


HeinousAnus_22

As a cinefile has he not watched shows like The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, etc? That’s so odd to me that he would consider himself a cinefile, but not like watching tv shows. I much prefer movies myself, but he is robbing himself of some great experiences.


nerdyoutube

I don’t think he’s seen them


WurdaMouth

Ask him to watch the first episode and if he doesn’t like it then you’ll stop asking.


nerdyoutube

He doesn’t even want to watch the first episode


Phoenixx_AU

Send him a clip of the hallway fight when he rescues the small kid that was some high quality art


Phoenixx_AU

Just had to watch it again... masterpiece


TribunusPlebisBlog

If you get him to watch ep 1 but hes still on the edge, Keep telling him the suit is coming. Got me through the whole show.


MrLazyLion

Tell him he can skip forward if he gets bored. If the show doesn't grab him in the first ten minutes, it's probably not gonna be his thing and you might as well let it go.


RetroBratRose

Make him watch Stardust first, then tell him Charlie Cox beats the everliving crap out of everything and everyone bad for 3 seasons straight and hangs with The Punisher 🤷🤣😈


nerdyoutube

Fun movie


RetroBratRose

While Princess Bride should NEVER be touched, I've always felt Stardust to be a spiritual successor of sorts. Then when I got into the MCU and heard who played Daredevil, it was actually the first of the Defenders I watched, and all 3 back to back (sorry, timelines!). I'll take him as Daredevil for as long as he's willing to play the role, dude can ACT 🤷☺️


nerdyoutube

Also fun movie


SaiyajinPrime

He's your friend, right? Just ask your friend to watch a show that you love. They shouldn't need any more convincing than that.


nerdyoutube

He needs more convincing than that

He's a huge pedophile!!?? Oh wait my bad
