I love Foggy and want him to get his own spin-off series where he's just sassy at people all day, every day.

2x09 The newspaper clipping in the folder on the desk. Mystery Accident Causes Teen Fatality 16-year old teen died in a single-car crash, in Windler County on Friday, authorities said. The unsolved death of this young man is currently under investigation. According to a Vermont Highway Patrol report, the young man, Kevin Paxton Paige, of Fagan Corners, veered off the roadway while heading east on Vermont Route 12 from the Hill Road exit ramp off Interstate 89. For an unknown reason, Page's vehicle went through a chain-link fence and ran into an embankment on the north shoulder at about 1:40 pm. Vermont Highway Patrol found Page dead at the scene. His body was taken to Windler Medical Center where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The young man's death as well as the cause of the accident remains under investigation. Fun Trivia: The rest of the article is text from War of the Worlds. The text above the picture is from Moby Dick. Karen sobs and asks if they read it. Ellison responds he and Ben both read it and didn't care. Ben must've found something linking to her, because that's pretty loving cold to say you don't care her little brother died in a car accident. More Fun Trivia: In the comics Paxton Page is Karen Page's father aka Death's Head and the obituary on the right of the article mentions a Penelope which is Karen's mother.

Newspaper Clipping speculation: I think the implication is that Karen was responsible for his death, was driving the car or something.

I've noticed some extra picture noise on both Daredevil and House of Cards. It looks intentional so I assume it might be something to hide compression artifacts.

I watched in 4K, so it'd have to be something that's only specific to some scenes rather than something general, if that's the case. Generally, the whole season was pretty crisp.

I watched the first two episodes of Season 2 of Daredevil so far so good but something made me chuckle that both episodes end with roof top fight, only the 2nd time more guns firing at them. I hope each episode ends with more and more challenges while they fight.

So, just finished the last episode and I have to say, I kind of didn't care for Elektra. A character that is introduced midway through the season, doesn't interact with anybody but Matt and with whom even he only really had a very superficial relationship is not something you can really build the emotional foundation of your series on.

9 episodes in and it's pretty good so far. I was very happy to see the reveal of Fisk at the end of what I thought was the worst episode. Also glad that I'm not the only one who could have done with less Ninja poo poo. The big hole and Stick seemed really out of place thematically.

Goddammit, showrunners, that is not how you use a pair of sai! Also, did they just kinda write out the radar sense? It seems like if Matt can't hear anything, he gets his rear end handed to him, yet he can still climb and jump and all that. 10 Beers fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Mar 20, 2016 |

I'll just say after finishing the entire season that I'm so glad that Clancy Brown continued his streak of being evil characters in comic book adaptations. I was a bit worried after his initial testimony, I should have known better that he'd be back down the line to remind us that he is always and forever will be an rear end in a top hat in any comic book related media.

Apoplexy posted:EXCELLENT season. Matt never killed anybody in the most literal sense because the undead/re-living ninjas could just resurrect like Nobu does after he's hucked from the building top. So in true comic book style, Intent never matters, just whether you're able to use a loophole to keep the letter of your code intact. Though ironically, that's a pretty big no-no in Catholic thinking so Daredevil should still be guilty as hell.

Overall season opinion Overall i think it was a very good season, even better than the first one, but I had a few annoyances. Elektra as a character was not that interesting (just like in the comics), and there was zero chemistry between her and Matt, they didn't work together in any way. It is a shame that Foggy once again has to be the bad guy. He doesn't get much screen time, and when he does half of it is whining about Matt. It feels like the character is a huge hypocrite considering that Matt is shown to be the one that is constantly convincing him to do good things, like leaving the evil law firm or helping Karen as a client

Continuing to chew through the episodes and have a bit of a rant. Can Elektra please gently caress off and go away? The actress is very good in her role, but is Elektra really meant to come across as a shallow, utterly unlikeable psychopath who does her damned best to take over the story the moment she comes in while offering nothing interesting of her own and distracting from the excellent Punisher storyline?

Oasx posted:Overall season opinion About Foggy this season I don't think he was portrayed as the bad guy at all. He is one hundred percent in the right in being pissed off at how flighty Matt is and how he's been left hanging. We know Matt is going through some rough poo poo, Foggy knows peripherally that's the case, but it's pretty explicitly said by Matt that he's going to choose the vigilante lifestyle over the firm. For Foggy, he's being abandoned by his best friend, while said friend is acting very very dangerously. I think the show does a good job of showing how destructive Matt is in all of his relationships.

I'm on Team Foggy 100%.

Like it or love it, the one thing you can't deny about this season is that every character loves coffee. Seriously, every scene, "I brought you coffee" "How do you like your coffee" "I'm going to need more coffee"

I thought it was solid. Finale Stuff on Elektra Does it seem like they really badly want to continue on the comic book progress and have the whole "Elektra is revived as an enemy" thing, since that ending sequence and her manner of death are pretty much carbon copied of the comic. I'm sort of surprised gossip news outlets aren't already talking about how she'll be brought back whenever the Hand comes up again.

Vincent D'onofrio is doing the acting of his career on Daredevil. Every scene he's in he dominates. I was cheering him on when he flipped out at Matt Murdock in that jail cell. No wonder why Jon Bernthal calls him his hero.

I don't think they give her enough characterization like Punisher but I think Elodie Yung did a great job with what she had. Like after that one fight scene she gleefully asks "So, hungry?!". This is a person who loves violence. Also I would not be surprised in the least if Jon Bernthal got a netflix Punisher series. He can clearly carry a series. Infact, I hope he does.

I understand Foggy's frustrations at Matt neglecting his day job, and Foggy's worry about Matt ending up dead. But the problem is that Foggy is acting like a bit of an rear end in a top hat, when clearly there is a need for Daredevil. I am not quite sure how many people are supposed to live in the Hell's Kitchen, but as i understand it, it is just a small neighbourhood in New York, but it is one that has two large mystical asian gangs/cults, one where the organised crime resembles the military and where half the cops were being paid off by crime lords until recently. The idea that Matt is just dressing up in a costume for the fun of it, and that he should just let the police handle matter is insane. Foggy watches the news and helped uncover the Wilson Fisk thing, he knows that he is living in an extremely hosed up neighbourhood, and that Matt is risking his life to save everybody.

Done bingewatching and well, this is about as good as television gets. Didn't mind Elektra as a character but the whole Hand plot felt a little out of place in a show that's otherwise quite grounded. All of the character development felt earned and the whole season was better paced than both season 1 and JJ. Really looking forward to Luke Cage!

It's a much better story than the initial Punisher origin and the recent films which was just some person taking revenge( also completely over the top that they killed every member of his family) So having it be tied in and have some sort of "more than just revenge" ,but revenge mixed with guilt is a lot better. In the Marvel Comics Punisher's origin for at least Garth Ennis's run was that A. He was always a psychopath B. He used his family's deaths which he could have prevented to start a never ending war.

Medullah posted:Episode 13 spoiler I can't believe that they showed him finding a freaking minigun, followed by Matt and Elektra wondering how they were going to survive a wave of 100 ninjas and instead of Frank mowing down ninjas with the minigun he snipes a few and the gives him the Steve Buscemi from Billy Madison wave. Yeah, what the heck was that all about? I've never been more let down by a show, ever. The whole Hand / Black Sky thing dragged the entire show down, but if they had done what you said everything would have been forgiven. Now everything after episode 9 felt like a waste of time. On short, everything with the Punisher and Fisk was great, but everything else with the ninjas and holes in the ground was a disappointment. I did enjoy all scenes with Stick, though. Lovable old murderous rear end in a top hat. By the way, did they ever explain what was up with the giant hole in the ground?
