Tomorrow, I start S2 of Daredevil and once I'm finished with that: depression.
Okay, so I lied and started a bit earlier than intended.
With that said: bang, indeed.
Tomorrow, I start S2 of Daredevil and once I'm finished with that: depression.
Episode 3.
Legitimately the best fight scene I've ever seen in a movie or serialized show of any kind. Do I even want to continue? There's no possible way the episodes get better than that.
I was watching a video review of season 2, and while it was a positive review it pointed out one major issue.
Daredevil takes on an entire biker gang and has the exact same struggle as he does against a secret, mystical ninja clan. It makes The Hand not feel as threatening and Daredevil not seem quite as badass as he should. It makes his super power seem to be not staying down more than any super senses and fighting skill.
I'm trying to convince myself that fighting large groups in poorly lit hallways creates problems you don't face when fighting a large group on an open roof, but then that draws attention to a writing cheat to create false suspense.

And now I hate Karen almost as much as I hate Foggy.
The number of times she's tried taking the moral high ground when she's hiding something from the both of them that can do far more damage than taking on this case could have done.
I don't care that she walked in on him while he was talking to Elektra and her mind went to the deepest of unfounded assumptions, nor do I care how guilty the situation looked from the onset to even provoke such a conclusion. I like the character in all sincerity, but this projecting of her own guilt – this emotional turmoil or whatever it is – because she sees a fraction of herself in Frank is ridiculous.
...I agree it feels half-baked. That scene of Karen walking in on Matt and Elecktra was a facepalm moment for sure - for someone who seeks out "truth" to assume so catastrophically wrong, especially when there's a craggy old blind man right next to her, is beyond belief.
One of the most forced plot point for the show, as the writers were most likely looking to introduce a schism in Matt's and Karen's relationship. I think they should've look past The Bold and The Beautiful-esque plot twists...
As for Foggy, it's just the actor portraying him comes off as... off for some reason. I think it's the way he delivers his lines - kind of reminds me of FF7: Advent Children, in that where the words doesn't sound natural, the intonation is not where I expect it to be.
But can we take a moment to appreciate how perfect Jon Bernthal is? Before this our only shimmering hope was Thomas Jane, but now, I mean, he's just too good. Make a dedicated Punisher series and I will watch every episode and never unsubscribe from Netflix again.
