Loved everything about this show. Not even a single character I didn't like. BTW how cool was it that so much of this season turned out to be about a super villain love story.

This. There's barely any references to the MCU itself. I only noticed 2 in the pilot. If there's more, please list them. Also there's no goddamn Infinity Gems in this.

Here's the ones I heard/saw. Crusher Creel, Mat's Dads opponent appears in AoS, Iron Suit or Magic Hammer obv, Foggy Says Captain America and there are several articles posted behind Ben Urich's deck two of which are the Battle of New York, and Something like Harlem Mayham with Hulk in the picture.

I figured with Daredevil being Red Batman it would be more Arrow than Flash, but I was hoping for something inbetween the two. Turns out Daredevil made everything look bad by comparison. For reference, Game of Thrones costs $6 million per episode. Arrow is $1.2M. At $3.3M Daredevil costs as much as an episode of Glee.

Well I'm not sure this makes Thrones look bad really, I mean if you stop to think what that show really has to pay for.

I admit I'm reaching on this, but also Luke Cage: He was wrongly arrested for being a heroin dealer. Should they choose to pick up on this they could use Gao's heroin.

What would have been really cool would be Stryker being part of one the crews, but none of them made sense to employ him.

I saw someone suggest once that the best way to adapt Spider-Man isn't a movie, but a serialized TV series. And I found that I had to agree. Even though it was just a couple years ago, back then it seemed an impossibility. And it's surely not something happening any time soon.

But... slowly, all the right pieces are moving into place. I can now see a potential future where there's a high-quality serialized live-action Spider-Man TV series that's integrated into a larger Marvel TV & movie universe.

God drat would that be cool.

I'm 100% sure they'll just put him in movies instead.

Daredevil never made it big until, like, now. Respected but not well known.

Big enough that Fox made it their next big comic movie after Spider-Man as unfortunate as that turned out. I mean back when I was kid and only collected X-Men books from Marvel I knew who Daredevil was and couldn't have told you anything about an Ant-Man or a Thor.

It's direct-to-Netflix. They get alllll the fucks they want. And given that the two trailers so far have been "Jessica is hungover" and "Jessica likes to drink and fight," to say nothing of how insanely brutal DD was, I don't imagine they're going to be going light on ANYTHING.

While this is all true, I do find that Netflix shows are lighter on swears then HBO or showtime shows for whatever reasons.

Hahaha. Yeah but that also kind of comes with the territory. Batman should have killed the Joker and Daredevil really should put Fisk down but then there wouldn't be a show and there wouldn't be an easy moral line for Marvel to use.

At the end of the day we're supposed to buy into Matt's worldview just a bit.


I never saw Angel and Joss Whedon bores me at this point so I'll take your word for it

Except there is always another bad guy and another and another and before you know it.... Luckily though these themes will get put into contrast in the next season.

Please dear god don't drop Iron Fist for The Punisher. I thought part of the whole point was expanding the MCU, making "another" Punisher doesn't do that.

Yeah I hope they don't either and I also hope this doesn't mean that Daredevil and Punisher are going to be friendly by the end of season 2 either.

A Punisher series could have the potential to be amazing if they just adapted stories like The Slavers etc.. from Garth Ennis's Punisher run. Just make it as dark as gently caress.

Sure if they really want to, but don't try to make him part of the Defenders team and don't deny me on screen Heroes for Hire because of it.

What I prefer they'd do is hold auditions and cast people who can act the roles as apposed to looking for doppelgangers and praying they are good. Its been a pretty solid system to this point.

I won't deny that she's cool as all heck, but do we even know that she wants to or can act. Like I know y'all wanted Terry Crews to be Luke Cage, but I'm going to say that I'm happy that didn't happen right now.

It's not a big deal or anything. I just find it funny that when it's any other hero, barely anyone thinks to reach for a gun but when it's Cage, that's all they think to try. It's like mooks are allergic to finding the right tool for the job.

or at the very least try to take very careful aim at the eyes or something.

Eh, you have to remember that it aired an age ago (in internet time) so most people still posting about it are the people who had really strong feelings about the season. Most people I know seem to have thought it was at least a decent season of TV, but few people are going to post just to reiterate "Yeah, that was good, maybe not as good as S1" or "Season 2 had problems but overall still enjoyable". I liked it well enough personally, but its not my favourite Netflix marvel show/season.


Wait... This cant be a real thing, right? You dont understand how someone can be attracted to a person you arent personally attracted to? Because I can assure you its definately a thing that happens.

That's not what I said at all, dude, you're choosing to interpret it in extremely strange ways, and the way you chose to edit it makes me think you know that. I just don't think this show is written well enough to overcome the weird exoticism and wish-fulfillment often seen in depictions of these types of relationships. Him being Asian would make it less weird only because their dynamic is really really strange and founded a bunch of weird poo poo that needs to be unpacked. The race change would just remove one of those elements. I could be wrong about how they handle it, they could do it great, but the show hasn't earned that level of trust from me.

And while the circumstances of him teaching her to be better at martial arts may make sense, it's still a weird scene. It's weird because he's better at something associated with her heritage and current occupation than her and it's weird because it's a man teaching a woman how to do her job.

If Coleen Wing was being depicted as a submissive stereotype then you might have a point, but she isn't and therefor your argument does seem kind pretty weird.
