Hockey and superhero movies have followed a similar progression. sonatinas posted:It’s too bad Daredevil forgot how to use his stick ricochet skills in season 3. That actually bugged me. Especially after watching some of the S2 fights where he does it as well as bullseye. Of all people, Matt should have some capacity to dodge or deflect Bullseye's projectiles - and we finally get a glimpse of that in the final fight, but I for the life of me couldn't figure a good reason for why that was not a thing for the entire season to that point.

Loving Daredevil S3 so far, about 80% through. The one thing it's a little hard to believe is that none of the Defenders would've tracked down Matt when Fisk is telling NYC to gently caress itself and DD is a wanted criminal But half of the comic storylines don't make sense when you take that into account so nbd. Great season!

Regarding that spoiler: there's a divergent universe where Spider-man became a movie star instead of a superhero, and in that universe green goblin was beaten up, unmasked and arrested by Thor after like his third crime. Which is hilarious, but also makes you wonder where the gently caress everyone else is when Spider-man's actually fighting these guys.

One part I didn't get about Bullseye was why was his hearing so good? When he was at the office and nearly killed Foggy during the fight Matt's hiding from him and tries to pick up some scissors or a stapler or something and he gets his hand stabbed. I don't remember any mention of the suit being enhanced in any way. The only difference I was aware of was them cutting eyeholes into it.

Yeah that part was a little silly in the interest of looking cool. Matt is supposed to be a super-ninja so he should've been able to turn the table once he was out of sight, but they had to establish the threat I suppose.

Dex is also a highly trained sniper, so anticipating how people will behave behind cover is a huge part of his deal.

So when Dex goes to the address he gets from Matt over the phone, and finds the bodies in the freezer, was one of them Melvin Potter (Gladiator, aka the doofus who made Daredevil's red suit)?

Consensus seemed to be that it was the two guys Fisk's cleaner had used to kill Dex's crush, and that they had been killed to clean up loose ends. That scene was so underplayed that I had to back it up when it happened and we didn't get a good look at the two guys. e: Agreed, it just makes for a whole lot of unnecessary confusion.

Then that's just a really really poor decision on the director's choice, because they look the same. Edit: Gladiator's actor is only credited for 1 episode, so I guess that's clear: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0313902/ Red fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Nov 12, 2018 |

Well Tall Painter and Short Painter, who are credited during their former appearance, aren't credited in the finale as actors, though one is credited as a stunt double. (Short Painter, not so much, though maybe Jim Beaver hasn't gotten around to doing that part yet.) So the jury's still out.

It would stymie your hiring process. Plus then you need to kill the people who killed them

It was also the coldest and most clinical shooting I’ve ever seen in a drama and in a show full of violence it was the most upsetting thing I’ve seen on DD in 3 seasons.

This, but the moment when Matt sees Dex in the DD suit for the first time. I know slow-mo is sometimes overused but that moment of him coming around the corner with that "are you not seeing what I'm not seeing?" look on his face was so loving good. And then it's followed up by that awesome fight in the newspaper office. God this season was so good! And it seems like something that will definitely hold up well on a re-watch as well.

Something else that I loved: When Dex tries to get Fisk's attention in the hallway. There's this constant buzzing in the background whenever Dex is on-screen. It was such an awesome and understated way to demonstrate how Dex was in the midst of a total mental break. That actor did an amazing job I thought.

Actually, having just finished a rewatch - I'm assuming we don't need spoiler tags anymore, since the 72-hour rule is long past - that church fight was great, but Karen drove me nuts. She tells Matt to get Bullseye out of the way so she can get people out of the church. He does - and then she sort of shushes them and holds them back and says "Get them out, but wait until I distract him". Lady, he's already distracted! His rear end just got thrown through a wall! Why are you not all running away!

Dr Christmas posted:Am I the only one who found the escalating grimdarkness of the big Karen flashback a bit silly? It was a bit silly but I'm willing to forgive it because this season is the first time Karen has actually felt like a well-developed, capable character. I felt a bit of backstory had been earned, and with where it fit in the season I think they had to go pretty dark or it would have felt very out of place tonally.

I didn't especially like how grim they made it either. It makes sense to give Karen a reason to want to redeem herself, but at some point you will roll your eyes and wonder how far they're going to force the point.

I really liked the Karen episode. It was definitely super grim, but that's honestly this show in general...it's a punchman in a costume who spends his free time agonizing about Jesus. It makes sense that even the young ingenue trying to make it on her own would actually be escaping drugs and frozen poverty.

It’s the most realistic plot line in the entire series, actually, except Sister Maggie’s. I don’t really understand how this is GrimDark in a way that, say, Julie’s execution wasn’t.

One of the reasons you barely see negative portrayals of cops is that every exterior shot with guns or whatever requires officers on location to supervise. So, good luck getting the NYPD to cooperate with you on a show that acknowledges how loving awful cops are. Ditto with the US millitary.
