There is one change I'm really dissapointed in however...
how can you say that "doesn't work"?

The problem with Garner is not that she's not Greek but that she doesn't LOOK Greek. But then Kingpin in the comics looks fat and Duncan comes across as more muscular. Still, the moment I saw him in that suit choping on a cigar - I could care less.
Besides, it'd be practically impossible to find people who look exactly like their comic book counterparts and also act.
I mean sure there was Partic Stweart as Prof. X but the original drawings of the Professor looked more like Yul Brynner (who stan Lee claims he based the character's look on).

My main fear is that they just hired Garner to have Elektra be eye candy and not a fearsome killer like in the comics. Any reader can tell you she really wasn't a likeable person except to Matt, and that was putting it mildly.

From my understanding of listening to Mark Steven Johnson at a comic book convention last Sunday.. he said that the changes to Elektra and Bullseye were due to the fact that he tried to costume Garner and Farrell appropriately, but they just looked terrible. Hence the design changes.
Is it me.. or should they cut out playing up the blind superhero? I mean really... no one knows Daredevil is blind. They just know that Matt is.

Like I said, I have no gripe with the look. It's the characters style and actions.
