Optimus Subprime posted:I'm up to episode 12 of the show and I think its been good, but I can't really handle the Kingpin actor. His voice is really weird, and his cadence and inflection are unsettling in a bad way. Also his mandarin is terrible, but not too many people would get that. I'm still catching up on this thread (page 19/49, holy poo poo), but just came across this. Fisk's speech, his pauses and cadence, etc, reminded me of someone, and I only just now figured it out. Does DiNofrio's performance ad Kingpin remind anyone else of DeVito's performance as the Penguin in Batman Returns? I'm assuming Gao is Crane Mother, the ruler of Ku'n Zi. The emblem on her heroin is remarkably similar to the emblems on Iron Fist's and Davos the Steel Serpent's chests. 10 Beers fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Apr 17, 2015 |

Modus Operandi posted:Karen is actually fairly reprehensible in many ways. The old woman WANTED to stay in her apartment before Foggy and Karen came along. After she does, Foggy is drunk in a bar when Karen finds him, and breaks down crying because said he should have convinced her to take the payout.

tsob posted:The old lady was more than likely the head of a clan of mystical ninja from another dimension Yeah, I called it after the first few times I saw her that she was Crane Mother, the ruler of Ku'n Zi. Which means she almost certainly will be in Iron Fist if I'm right.

Finished it this morning before work. I really, really enjoyed it. One thing that I see constantly brought up, but am I the only one that doesn't have an issue with the fight scenes? They aren't supposed to be dazzling. The only ones with any real training are Simpson and Trish. Jessica seems to have had some, but she and Luke are largely brawlers, relying more on brute strength than technical skill or finesse. It would be weird to see them with some kind of highly developed fighting style.

2x01 That fight with the Punisher at the end was great! And I agree with an earlier poster, it's a bit strange for the Punisher to be shooting up a hospital. Also, Deborah Ann Woll still smokin hot, I see. 2x02 Oh, pawn shop dude, you done went and fuuuuuuuuuucked up! 10 Beers fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Mar 18, 2016 |

2x03 Not sure if this would count as a spoiler, so I'll choose safe over sorry. I like the small details that point to Frank being a former Marine. The haircut, using a Ka-Bar knife, etc. Goddammit, Frank! Get that loving gun out of the waistband of your pants! 10 Beers fucked around with this message at 13:04 on Mar 18, 2016 |

Goddammit, showrunners, that is not how you use a pair of sai! Also, did they just kinda write out the radar sense? It seems like if Matt can't hear anything, he gets his rear end handed to him, yet he can still climb and jump and all that. 10 Beers fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Mar 20, 2016 |

Pron on VHS posted:Frank's love of coffee is funny, but man, the revitalizing beverage is everywhere this season. Karen brings Foggy/Matt coffee in that awkward "are you guys dating" scene, Claire brings DD coffee on the roof and then throws it away when he refuses, Karen and the bearded reporter stay drinking coffee....there are like 6-8 scenes where coffee is the main prop. The Punisher packs a thermos wherever he goes They're busy people, man! No time for sleep when you could be shootin folks, or beatin em up, or writing a newspaper article, or watching two friends' business and friendship implode. 10 Beers fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Mar 23, 2016 |

Dapper Dan posted:Coffee from food carts or from bodegas. This is why I like the Ennis MAX run as opposed to the Aaron one. In the Ennis one, he was written kinda like he always has been, but in the Aaron one, he takes them to the park knowing there'd be trouble and that they'd probably get caught up in it.

site posted:Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I like the Aaron MAX story by itself. But, 1) I think it shits all over what Ennis was trying to accomplish with the character, and 2) bullseye was just way too cartoonish to fit with the established universe. And Ennis's run didn't always have the best art, but goddamn, that Dillon art...

PostNouveau posted:-Did they forget how Daredevil works or did I miss something? Why can't he see the ninjas sometimes? He uses echolocation to see everything, right? He doesn't get to a set of stairs and go "Oh poo poo, these stairs are masking their heartbeats," he just walks up them because he can "see" them like a bat. Ninjas are great enemies because they're believable at variable levels of toughness. I can buy it when Daredevil mows through them; I can buy it when they pose a serious problem for him. They don't need to add some nonsensical wrinkle to ninjas. Every time I bring this up to someone, they act like I'm crazy. "Daredevil hears everything. That's how he gets around!" Horseshit! They SHOW his radar sense in season 1. He's not going to climb stairs and ladders by hearing. He routinely picks up things in the environment to use as weapons, and those objects are stationary. It seriously is like they forgot how Daredevil works.

BiggerBoat posted:Agreed. That was a fantastic scene. Everything with D'Onofrio has kicked rear end in both seasons. I like that they actually had Matt throw one punch. If I remember right, he throws his arms up to break Fisk's hold and tags him in the mouth. Fisk slams him back down and says something like "Ah, that's right, son of a boxer!"

HIJK posted:I don't recall Karen reciprocating for Foggy. Basically Foggy tells her about how Matt felt his face once and that it was sorta weird, and then she asks him to feel her face "like Matt would." Foggy is used to Matt, she isn't, and then she makes that very odd request and to me it seemed remarkably transparant that she wanted to pretend Foggy was Matt and it wasn't out of simple curiosity, it was because she found his handicap exciting. I sorta see your point. It was weird, but it never came off to me as she was fetishizing his blindness. Foggy is the one who brings up how Matt touches faces to see what people look like. He tell her Matt touched his face once and it was kinda weird. She asks if Foggy has told Matt what she looks like and Foggy replies Matt probably has a picture of her in his head and Foggy doesn't like to mess with those. She then asks him to touch her face so "I can know how someone who was blind can see me." Its weird, and yeah she's using Foggy as a bit of a stand in for Matt, but it never came across as fetishization to me.

Jerusalem posted:I dug this season too, though it certainly has plenty of flaws I felt it was better paced than the first season and for the most part I really dug the various character's storylines. The lack of a solid capital V villain like Kilgrave was noticeable though, but then I'm not really sure how you could follow up such a hosed up and well acted character like that without it feeling disappointing, so maybe it was for the best they didn't really try. I liked it, too.
