I liked her flashback because I totally felt the frustration of being stuck in a failing business in a small town that you hate, with the rest of your family completely oblivious to how lovely everything is and just using The Secret type reasoning to overlook their financial difficulties, leaving YOU to do everything even though you don't believe in the business. A lot of really smart women have been stuck in a place like that and it makes sense that she'd turn to drugs and parties to try and run away from it all. And all the poo poo that happened makes you totally understand why she thinks she's a bad person deep down throughout the whole series. Small towns are loving pits that drag you down with them.

I’m sure many people here are aware but the way that (comic and tv spoilers) Karen dies in the books is generally considered part of a pretty misogynistic trend of killing women for plot motivation. And while she doesn’t die in born again, she’s tortured and turns into a pornstar, prostitute and heroin addict. It would’ve been pretty tone deaf if they included it. The stakes are just as high without it, and Kingpin and Bullseye are just as despicable. On the other the show actually does show a Woman in a Refrigerator, killed for plot motivation, who then gets driven around by an autistic incel so ignore everything I said ^did not see that post haha

Considering Julie was in that same fridge with two male characters who'd been killed off for similar reasons I think we can excuse it.

I didn't like that they put Matt back in his black costume. Return to form my rear end. They were just scared of it.

Being from a small town, I don't find it very realistic that the drug that everyone is doing is coke. Ain't nobody got that kind of money to blow.

My experience is the opposite. Lot of mill/crew work in my small town so it was a bunch of people with too much money to spend and nothing to spend it on. Coke was ridiculously popular in my single traffic light town.

I haven't finished the series, but he has been the best so far.(I also checked his twitter and he seems to be an actual decent human being. And speaks good Spanish. Extra points to this man).

D'onofrio is one of those guys who elevates whatever role he's in, and he's got way more range than you might suspect from such an intense man.

To be fair the Bullseye thing was super dumb. But that guy's suggestion wasn't very good either.

Really want a scene of Frank promising he'd never hurt anyone innocent as he's cleaning a gun and then firing it at someone innocent and the gun just doesn't fire until he isn't pointing it at them.

I would have thought he would scrounge up some type of body armor at least. This is the marvel universe, sew some adamantium into your fighting clothes or some poo poo. He could have really used it especially when fighting Bullseye.

I just found out they cancelled Luke Cage and well, that loving sucks. The fact that Disney is launching their own service also makes me want to scream. I'm seriously getting streaming service fatigue.

Slow dramatic zoom in to his face then OH MY GOD HE OPENED HIS EYE cue the epic music sting!!! And he's got a bullseye in his eye get it, cause he's bullseye! It reminded me of one of the Resident Evil movies where someone opened their eye at the end and their iris was the Umbrella logo because sure why not.

There really isn't a popular drug that's missed us, tbqh, and the people they were selling to were college kids. And that final shot was terrible. Comic nerds figured out that guy was Bullseye by the midpoint of the season. People who don't know anything about Daredevil don't understand the significance of the eyeball reveal. Who's it pandering to? Baku fucked around with this message at 09:01 on Oct 24, 2018 |

Personally I'm worried after seeing the FINAL EPISODE, END OF SEASON stinger because Bullseye was already a Problem for everyone even before the metal spine. Now we're getting a Terminator that can kill people with paper airplanes and salt packets. It took Fisk and Matt fighting with him as a priority for the two of them to take him down and now we've got Bullseye Requiem looking for revenge? Matt might need to suck it up and loving call Luke Cage if he wants a smaller body count. Also, I might've missed it but Did Matt ever get better? I thought he was still half-deaf in the one ear the entire season.

Part of the reason the Bullseye stinger sucked was it felt like just a obligatory sequel stinger that belongs at the end of every comicbook thing regardless of context. Do you think we're really going to see him come back? When? Is there gonna be a DDS4, and if so do you really want to see the same villain again? Bullseye was fun and I'm glad he was here this season, but he's no Vincent loving D'Onofrio. I have no interest in seeing him show up again with a metal spine and a dumb eye-whatever he's got. Fancy contact lenses?

I would love to see follow through on any of the "villain's gonna come back!" teases they've done in all these shows. The only one who actually came back was Kingpin.

I get why Karen is not popular with others but I stand by my decision she is awesome. I think the walking down the street scene was a good example. Matt would have ignored or kicked harrassers rear end being superhuman. Foggy would have avoided or called a cab being rich, and the average woman avoided the harrassers out of self preservation. Karen faced them down with a gun which could have gone all sorts of assways but she did it because she was angry that they scared her and other women

Bullseye didn't seem like that much of a threat tbh. I get what they were going for, with Matt being better at hand to hand so trying to keep the fight close quarters. But it just ended up as Bullseye getting his rear end kicked for 5 minutes until he got enough distance to throw a pencil. I don't buy that Matt lost that first fight bad enough that he suddenly sees Bullseye as this massive undefeatable opponent. I did really like the character though. How can I put this...I have experience with abandonment issues and I saw a lot of truth in his performance which kind of made me empathize with him while still seeing him as a creepy fucker.

If he does come back, we getter get these two iconic scenes: Coney Island Subway tunnel fight He also better have his goofy-rear end black and silver costume. On the whole, S3 was a solid "eh". I liked most of the Fisk scenes. The fights with Bullseye were great, even if there was some sketchy VFX in parts. The rest of it... the show just didn't make me care. One thing, I kept getting a real weird vibe from Vanessa. She seemed so detached from everything when she returned, even Fisk. But her concern for him at the end seemed genuine. I don't know if it's the writers or actress don't have a good handle, or if it's a setup for S4 (if it happens).
