Noooooo! We don't need another show to utilize the "hot female friend who is an internet blogger" trope. I think every super hero show ever has had one (except Agent Carter, naturally). Surely, the writers can be tasked to give her more to do than just be that or a damsel in distress.

tsob posted:Or people like Ben, who are trying to expose the kind of corporate problems that a superhero normally doesn't deal with unless there's a kingpin involved. Which is why I've always wanted to see a Batman story where he actually passes the cape on to one of his proteges and starts taking the business and charity aspect of his character more seriously because he realizes he can do more good for more people as Bruce Wayne than as Batman given that there are lots of folks who can punch good, but not as many socially minded billionaires. Sadly, it's unlikely to happen. Even Nolan's Dark Knight just hosed off to have a wife and kids in the middle of nowhere instead, and that's probably about as good a shot as anyone was likely to get. Batman Beyond's Bruce Wayne probably did it for a decade or two off-screen I suppose. Except for the part he donated his mansion to the orphanage. Almost all of his money was taken by creditors.

Wolpertinger posted:Yeah, the cops were a little bit too willing to start murdering other cops, dirty or not. The SWAT team in episode 5 or 6 stands out in particular, especially considering that the guy didn't have a clue anything criminal was going on in the first place. I am pretty sure those SWAT guys were fake; they had all the accoutrements but they were just assassins.

BottledBodhisvata posted:Electra would be a nice addition, Matt needs another cape to play as his foil so he can stay a bit grounded. I don't know much more about his rogue's gallery except for Bullseye, whom I suspect would be a natural fit for the next season. I doubt he'd be the main villain, and I don't think they'll bring back Fisk again so soon (I'd save his return for a third season big twist). I hadn't even considered the Punisher showing up, that'd blow my goddamn mind. Have you ever seen Dardevil's rogues gallery? You pretty much need Elektra and Punisher just to make him more legit, because outside of Bullseye and MAYBE Tombstone and Owl (Purple Man is in Jessica Jones), you have a lot of nonsense.
