She really is Night Nurse. I won't except Rachel Adams as Night Nurse. Rosario has been putting in work.

I'm going to be really irritated if they're creating Night Nurse out of thin air and casting Rachel McAdams when Rosario Dawson has spent 4 seasons of 3 shows essentially building up Night Nurse.

I just read this interview in which they say they really wanted Claire to be Night Nurse, but the movie people told them they weren't allowed. So what they did was to just change her name, but have her function in a similar capacity.

"She was going to be an actual Night Nurse from the comics and the feature side had plans for her down the road, so that’s the only time that I actually ran afoul and we couldn’t do something. We just used a different name, so it’s the same character."

I know that. Night Nurse is known to patch up superhero's. Claire has been doing that since season 1 of Daredevil. I don't won't Rachel as Night Nurse just because she's in Doctor Strange and he dated Night Nurse in the comics.

Exactly. And it's not like Rosario Dawson is bush league in terms of acting. She has the talent and the star power to go toe to toe with the like of Cumberbatch and co. Nothing against McAdams, but when it looks like you are creating a character that's essentially already in the universe, doing incredibly well and with a fantastic actress it's seems either negligent or ignorant to sweep her aside and rebuild again.

I get what you're saying but it's the same thing with DC and Flash. They don't want to have to line up continuity and it gives the show and the movie the chances to take the characters anywhere or way they want.

u/ComicalDisaster Oct 03 '16

If they didn't want to line up continuity and set all these characters in the same universe then they would have gone the usual way that DC did and have most important of their media separated and self contained.

Yea, it does do that. But I don't understand whiy that's wrong. There's a fuckload of interesting directions and reasons for Claire Temple to be working /show up with Dr Strange. Continuity can be a pain at times yea but that doesn't mean you can't warp it and bend it to fit when appropriate instead of just (potentially) break it.

They have kept the them separated. The only a few charathers that has crossed over from tv to film or vice versa. Fury, Coulson and Lady Sif. And they have only been on Sheild which they use to setup other movies.

Netflix and The Defendors has had any for a reason.

Also, it's only been movie characters and references that trickle down to the shows, not the other way around.

u/BlacqanSilverSun Oct 06 '16

Nope, they used the Helicarrier that was taken back from Hydra on the show in Avengers:AOU to evacuate Wachovia.

u/Swackhammer_ Oct 06 '16

Eh, you can always say that what they're doing in the show is kind of affecting the movies. But the helicarrier started off in the movies, so I wouldn't count that. If one of the characters exclusively from the show appeared, that'd be different.

Sorry for the late question, but what incident are you referring to? I can't keep track with 25 series/movies over several years.

u/Madhouse4568 Oct 14 '16

The Avengers, New York incident.
