There was also the case of Tony blowing up all his armor and getting the surgery.

To remove the shrapnel from his chest cavity, it was explained in a narration and quick surgery shot towards the end of Iron Man 3

Please. Like he didn't get inspiration a week later and was in the basement with his holo-blueprinter making the Mk 616 or whatever. Probably with Pepper in nothing but a sports bra and booty shorts trying to distract him with her abs and failing.

Finished watching over the weekend, went through a few different articles explaining all the easter eggs, but I still have a few unanswered questions:

- Why was Mrs. Urich hospitalized? I'm sure they must have said, but I never caught it.

- What is the booze they keep drinking? It's all they drink.

- What is Matt's cane budget? There are discarded canes with his DNA all over the city.

Just because they don't take the time to show you Matt going back to get his canes doesn't mean that he just leaves them behind and has a closet full at home. Most of the times he disposes of them it's near places where he probably goes all the time.

Alzheimer's is very much an end-of-life thing, they mention her having "good, lucid days," and in the hospital scene with Ben she forgets he came in. It's never outright said but they come about as close as possible.

True, but in his position I'd rather have a cane closet than go rooting through garbage every week or so.

I would have liked his blindness to have seemed like more of a disability. The Daredevil movie did a lot wrong, but I liked that it showed how Matt kept track of what bills were what value, organized things with braille labels, and generally had his home life set up like a blind person has to. For me it was a humanizing moment that shows that despite having crazy reflexes and senses that make up for his lack of sight, he still has limitations. When 90% of your movie or T.V. show is your hero hearing things from halfway across the city or smelling nails in a box, it's nice to see the downside of things, rather than be told about it.

That's a minor complaint though, everything else was good, and I liked that they didn't leave anything on the table. They told a thorough story with a clear beginning and ending, weren't afraid to kill off characters, and gave Daredevil a clear origin that sets him up for whatever else he may do in the MCU, whether it's a second season, showing up as a member of the Defenders, etc.

This one made me laugh. If you found some blind guys cane thrown in a heap of trash in an alley or whatever my first reaction would be to check it for DNA also. Prime suspect in any superhero/vigilante case.

Well aren't blind guys kinda prime suspects when the superhero wears an opaque mask that covers his eyes?

Not that we even really saw anyone trying remotely hard to find out who he was.

Also every show should have blind person narration, not just for the visually impaired but to settle internet arguments about what happens in shows.

I was really surprised they didn't explore the downsides of his sense more beyond the flashbacks. Even the movie showed him getting overwhelmed (granted, because it was very overstuffed).

No but he's not wearing any of those things, he's wearing a mask that you can't see through that covers his eyes and also the eye covering part is not see through. I'm not talking about his final costume, I mean what he wore over his face for the majority of the season. He can't see. Would it also make some sense to assume a guy who gets into fights and decides to blind himself for it is probably used to not being able to see, i.e. a blind guy? I'm not trying to argue that Matt's in any actual danger of being discovered due to someone finding one of his canes. Just that Daredevil being one of the blind residents of Hell's Kitchen is something someone could potentially infer.

People would probably sooner assume the mask was somewhat seethrough than that the guy wearing it was blind.

I checked it out earlier and it was good, but this is really great. It's like an audiobook. If these guys put 13 60-minute episodes of this together in, like, the 5 or 6 days since there was outcry, they're freakin' amazing. I would subscribe to a service like this just to use as a substitute for podcasts.

I was a fan of whenever the comic touched on this - which was rarely, and only if the writer was interested in blind culture - and it was one of the few things that stood out about the movie. Like how does Matt pick his suits? (they're labeled by color) How does Matt use money? (They're folded differently) They had a blind guy on set as an advisor, talking about how stuff in the movie was written after stories he told to the crew. He talks in the making of doc, which is funny unto itself because you see what a disaster it becomes as it goes along in development because the director was so incredibly bad at his job and they hoped they could fix it all in post, and they couldn't.

All of that stuff Matt Murdock would be doing only to keep up appearances. In public. Nothing he did at home would need to be that way.
