I finally got around to watching Daredevil season two and holy poo poo is it ever schizophrenic. The story and character development built around the Punisher plot is fantastic, including the portion in prison with Fisk, and everything outside of that involving the ninjas is utterly forgettable puerile poo poo. The ninja guys, Hand or whatever, the armies of toothless ninjas ripped straight out of a Ninja Turtles cartoon episode, Electra, Stick, all of it was loving stupid and on par with what can be expected from network trash like Agents of Shield and Flash. Even the direction and choreography of the action scenes outside of the Punisher's was loving awful, especially in comparison to that of the first season.

The comics sound really dumb and bad.

Frankly if your argument for something is "but the comics" then you have no argument. This is a TV series, not a comic book, and on TV hordes of toothless ninjas doesn't work. Despite the highs of the Punisher arc, season two of Daredevil was pretty weak as a whole. Jessica Jones was much better.

LegalPad posted:It's tries so hard, so loving hard, to make Jessica Jones edgy and sarcastic but Krysten Ritter just can't sell her lines. Moss, Tennant, and pretty much every other main character out-acts Ritter's cold, emotionless gaze in every scene. Jessica is a victim of repeated rape who's suffering from extreme PTSD; while her personality has always been sort of "edgy" and sarcastic, as seen in flashbacks, the extent of it in the show's present is largely an affectation she's assumed as a means of protecting herself, and not everyone in the show buys into it. Ritter's greatest failure in the series was her poor running form, girl needs to take some lessons from Tom Cruise. LegalPad posted:When you consider that DD can sense the smallest bodily processes and literally 'hear' the contents of a safety deposit box that's in the same room as him, it makes absolutely no sense that he can't detect them. These are the same ninjas that Stick shot with a crossbow, over his shoulder, through the window of a moving car. This was another tremendous step backwards in season two, the uneven treatment of his special ability. Like everything else involving the ninjas it was just loving stupid and nonsensical even within the established universe of the show.

Blazing Ownager posted:Still, the Punisher parts rocked and I will be shocked if a full series doesn't come of it Good news! And hey, maybe for season three they'll bring back DeKnight as the showrunner and the action scenes and tone will be consistently good again!

When the Boss Ninja showed up and Matt recognized him it took me a minute to remember he'd even been in season one. That's how forgettable that poo poo was.

While I'd be completely down for a Banshee-style nonstop torrent of violent madness, I'd also like to see the Punisher series explore the consequences, both internal and external to Frank, of him loving up and accidentally murdering someone who's unequivocally innocent.

I don't know anything about these IPs, does Luke Cage have any interesting villains that can carry his season like Fisk or Kilgrave?
