I’m kind of blown away by how completely disingenuous people in this discussion about Daredevil are managing to be?? like surely, if you’ve heard any interview with any actor ever, you
know actors have doubles a lot! for basically anything you can think
of! Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss had a frigging whistling double. Finn Jones, who plays Loras on Game of Thrones, had a shaving double
for a scene where he shaves another character. no one blinks at this
stuff but suddenly when the possibility of a blind actor is mentioned,
everyone’s like “you’re saying they could use a WHOLE SEPARATE ACTOR? to do DANGEROUS OR PHYSICALLY DEMANDING FEATS? a double, if you will, just for stunts? who has ever
heard of such a thing??”

#like!#chris evans had his frigging FACE pasted onto someone else for like a third of a movie!#charlie cox’s stunt double is featured heavily in every episode of daredevil to begin with!#they manage to cut it so you don’t observe that bc THEY ARE GOOD AT THEIR JOBS #blind people dont’ have some kind of jamming field that makes this sort of clever editing #which is already rOUTINELY USED #impossible somehow!
