"I love Daredevil. I thought it was enjoyable. Okay? There were critical issues with it, and that's why I wear black, some people wear red - we are entitled to our opinions"
About this Quote
The color metaphor does a lot of quiet work. “I wear black, some people wear red” isn’t just a cheeky nod to Daredevil’s costume variants; it’s corporate pluralism dressed up as fandom. Black becomes the posture of the realist, the fixer, the person willing to see flaws. Red is everybody else: purists, critics, maybe even rival stakeholders, all framed as simply choosing a different outfit rather than pointing to structural problems. That shift is strategic. It recasts disagreement as personal taste, not accountability.
“Entitled to our opinions” sounds democratic, but it’s also a boundary line: stop litigating the past. In the context of early-2000s superhero cinema - when studios were still treating comic properties like volatile brands, not prestige franchises - Arad’s comment reflects a producer’s survival instinct. He’s trying to keep affection for the IP intact while admitting the execution wobbled, without naming the machinery that made it wobble. The subtext: we can argue about aesthetics, but the business moves stay offstage.
