Open Letter to Brad Winderbaum from a member of Team Save Daredevil

[u/shotofpatron]

Hey Brad. 

I want to introduce myself. I’m one of the official team members behind Save Daredevil, the movement you accused of not doing enough to get watchers to Daredevil: Born Again over the past two seasons. I speak for me, not for Team Save Daredevil.

Obviously, you are unaware of what Save Daredevil actually is. We are not a hashtag that happened to go viral, we are a coordinated campaign. We are a group of about ten badass women with complementary skills that passionately loved the Daredevil show on Netflix, and wanted to see more seasons with the same cast, creatives, and tone. We are not free labor for Marvel’s marketing, even though during the 7 years that we were active, a small number of people did speculate that we were secretly affiliated with Disney. 

We hyped the fuck out of Daredevil, including its cast and creatives, for seven fucking years. And we won. We got more than I ever imagined. 
That’s it. That’s what we set out to do, and we got it. Our message ever since has been that we will always try to hype these characters.  

Save Daredevil is retired. But you know what? Some of us are available for consulting, if you would like us to help Marvel market their own products. We know why Daredevil was loved and how to energize the fandom. If you want our help: Pay us. 

We assumed from the fact that Marvel never reached out to us, at all, in any capacity, it meant that you didn’t want or need our help. And we are okay with that. But if you are going to go to the press and act as though Save Daredevil is the problem, you are incredibly wrong. 

Meanwhile, I went ahead and bought watchdaredevil.com. We might just do something with it while we wait for you to reach out.
