Believe it or not, I really liked Daredevil (though apparantly most people I hear that saw it did not). I have been pretty excited about Elektra, since it would involve the Hand and since she'd have a red costume similar to her comic book costume. I was especially excited that Typhoid Mary would be in it. Until I read this...Link Here. To save you trouble, it says, and I quote, "Typhoid Mary, played by Natassia Malthe, will be totally different from the comics".
Of course, this doesn't many anything for certain yet...
but why? why totally different from the comics? I hope this doesn't mean anything really, but I hate when characters get changed too much for adaptations...

I liked Daredevil as well. I was not a big Daredevil comic fan going into the movie, but I was very pleased(it sucks the game got canned). Nor am I a big Elektra comic reader, only read the few that were one marvel's website a long time back. Personally I am kinda hyped about this movie. Apparently Bob "The Beast" Sapp will be playing Stone. So thats enough for me.

Yeah, one of many old American legends, evidently. Maybe it's because specific disease names don't quite strike the fear in people they used to that it comes across as such a goofy sounding name to me.

I'm waiting for Haemorrhoid Harry to make his grand entrance.

American legends? Huh? What's so funny about the name?

Also, can someone give me a summary about this character. I think I'm pretty well versed in Marvel lore and I've known about Mary for a long time-- I just never actually read a book in which she appeared. So I don't know what's her big deal. It always seemed like she was a powerful villainess or something (not joking!).

Er, I'm pretty sure there actually was a woman named Mary Mallon back in the early 20th century in America who, after it was discovered she was a trasmitter of the typhoid virus, was knicknamed "Typhoid Mary."
