nah he takes his vitamins with a can of diet coke. the cliffhanger being: does he always drink diet coke? has he gone his whole life thinking diet coke is regular coke?

Of course he can tell the difference between regular Coke and Diet Coke. He can even tell the difference between regular Dr. Pepper and Diet Dr. Pepper.

Well, he thinks he can tell the difference between Coke and Diet Coke, but it turns out Matt's never actually tasted a Diet Coke. Foggy's been giving him RC Cola and telling him it's Diet Coke since college.

This is responding to a post a few pages back, but if you wanna keep reading comics similar to Iron Fist, and you've already caught up on Daredevil Bendis to Brubaker, then I'd definitely recommend Brubaker's run on Captain America (responsible for the inspiration behind Winter Soldier!), and Knauf's run on Iron Man is pretty tits too.

Maybe it'll refer to his dialogue as well, and he'll speak in very purple prose. I imagine he gets his name from just being "that man in purple: the purple man" though, yea.

They might end up doing it so he turns purple when he uses his powers or something, but its not really needed and I would probably just prefer him to look normal all the time.

"Hmm, what color should I paint my van? The free candy thing didn't work out as well as I thought it would."

Sorry, it's just hard not think of the Purple Man driving a purple van. I'm trying to avoid rhyming, but the Purple Man is a seriously creepy character, so it's hard to imagine him driving around in anything other than a van.

Right, but not a creepy/business panel van. A minivan. A purple soccer-mom van.

For some reason, I see it as a purple Nissan Cube. Van-like, but imbued with some special douchiness.

Still purple, though, certainly.

You know, David Tennant auditioned for Hannibal. What are the odds AKA Jessica Jones will ape aspects of that character with Purple Man just like Daredevil took aesthetic inspiration?

Wow I'm glad he didn't get Hannibal. He's a good actor, but I don't think he could bring the raw, threatening, physicality that Mikkelsen brings to the role. But it will be pretty awesome if they do what you suggest.

That's not super surprising. Nerds, more than any other demographic, will roll out in force to upvote something they like. I'm sure many, many viewers don't bother to rate things they watch on netflix. I know I don't.

Also House of Cards isn't that good.

Yeah, I'm still in its first season, and It's fun to watch because Kevin Spacey is such a good actor. It's not a great show otherwise. It feels very much like the "LOST" school of series-writing transposed into a political setting.

Does it count as mystery if it's just things made up to be mysterious, but nothing is ever revealed or makes sense? Isn't that just weirdness?

What I meant, though, was that there seems to be very little continuity and basically no reason to pay attention to any of the details of what's going on. Like LOST, House of Cards is a series of dramatic conversations, and that's basically it. Yes it's better than LOST, and there are some over-arching themes established, but at the end of the day, the only thing that HoC seems to really deliver is Frank Underwood being an ambitious dick.

Edit: I've probably watched about as many episodes of HoC as there are of Daredevil. While Daredevil has significant chunks of screen time devoted to action scenes, HoC is entirely conversations, and yet I know a lot more about the characters in Daredevil and find them a lot more interesting than the characters in HoC. The protagonist of HoC literally talks directly to the audience to "explain" things to us, and yet there's just not a lot there.

Thanks god, one less series to watch.

Lost at the time felt like some really different but I watched Millennium recently and realized it's the same poo poo, just making poo poo that looks intriguing to keep your audience but not ever bothering where it's going, except they are more more subtle so it flew right under my nose. Also, the fact that arctic bear had a good explanation for existing kept my hope all the way to the lol it's all a dream ending.

So by "highest rated" they just mean "number of stars people have assigned to it" not "most watched" as "ratings" usually means in the context of TV.

All that article is saying is that the netflix users voted it gold
