itt we laugh at season 3 of caredevil (in memory of caredevil, RIP)

[Kara]

the opening foot chase in the first episode!!!!

the shameless rehash of the hallway fight scene in season 1............... but down stairs!!!!!!!! MOVE OVER OLD BOY. u old. and a boy i guess (no gender essentialist).

fucking shane coming back from the dead (ok a bullet in the head), like we all didn't see that shit in the walking dead already 

[Kara]

p.s. back off u nerds u like cultural refuse

[Joe Molotov]

The hero The Bore needs has returned to rescue us from MCU filth.

[Kara]

Seeing positive depictions of people of Irish ethnicity in media (like Irish gangsters) being gunned the fuck down by the Punisher the week of St. Patrick's Day was a nice touch, BTW. V. subtle, the kind of thing that would sail over the head of your average MCU type. Like the ships sailing out of some port town in Eire to escape English agricultural policy / economic imperialism that's literally lethal.

[Kara]

PUNISHER, IF U DON'T TELL ME WHERE MY MILLION DOLLARS :drevil: IS I'M I'M I'M GOING TO KILL UR DOG THAT USED TO BE MY DOG IRONICALLY

OMG U WIN MR. GANGSTER IT'S IN MY VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.

[Rufus]

Andy hasn't actually returned to appreciate this.

[seagrams hotsauce]

nm im dumb. good to see you

[chronovore]

I'm still enjoying season 1.

[Madrun Badrun]

I wanted you back but not like this.  This hurts.

[Bebpo]

About half of every episode is boring, but the punisher stuff is all good so far (ep4)

[Kara]

*bunch of Yakuza grunts blasting around the Hell's Kitchen on Ducati Monsters (trigger warning: Drinky Crow) when there's no one else on the road*

*Yakuza pull up to Elektra's double secret penthouse hideout*

Yakuza 1: OK everyone, we need to be quiet on this one.

*none of the other Yakuza mention that they just made like a fucking ton of noise blasting around on their midlife crisis bikes*

dd got me so hyped, i binged jj again.  True story.

dd got me so hyped, i binged jj again.  True story.

There's a scene with Murky Nelson that has some forced continuity with that show this season. It's great, for once in my life I could laugh at continuity being respected and appreciated by others. *goes back to my writing doctoral thesis on the origins of the Horus Heresy and the internal contradictions of the Great Crusade*

[Kara]

yo.... punisher.... what's that rhyme u say before u shoot ur piece--------i'm blind i can't use google even though there are many lovely accessibility features in modern computer operating systems

*punisher spends 15 minutes telling us his origin story while bleeding out in a graveyard instead of just answering the fucking question*

*daredevil never says anything cuz he's a terrible lawyer who rarely questions a witness on the stand despite being a big-city lawya [sic.]*

[Madrun Badrun]

Also started DD season 1 again.  Too hyped, can't come down.

caredevil 2 creative meeting

producer 1: ok y'all, last season our big bad was a shallow pandering to post-2008 financial crisis malaise whose similarities to the real people who fucked up the world were carefully garbed in a Gentile in Name Only character background that placed him unequivocally of the community he himself was trying to destroy in the name of more skyscrapers or something.......... i think we need to be fair and balanced with our sources of conflict in season 2

writer 1: we could examine the dark side of vigilante justice with a foil antihero people are supposed to be repulsed by but will undoubtedly gravitate towards in this indecorous age where criminality is only actually crime if you're poor or stupid

producer 1: love it, but we need some institutional failings too

writer 2: wasn't the fact that kingpin literally bought off an entire city neighborhood enough regulatory capture for you?

producer 1: ok pyotr kropotkin, does anyone have anything useful to add?

writer 3: what if.................. the city's regulatory authorities somehow became entrenched with careerist bureaucrats willing to break the very laws they swear to uphold to make their way up the ladder, not in the private sector after leaving the job as what happens in real life, but to move up the ladder in public office! the rubes who eat this shit up actually think being a mayor is a bfd still

producer 1: cnn couldn't make a false equivalence this good y'all, get to work

[Bebpo]

If we're being real, The Punisher stuff and Daredevil in costume stuff is the only good in the show. It's filmed alright and acted fine but I couldn't give a fuck about DD's buddies Foggy "Thuggish" Fuckboi and not quite Elizabeth Olson battling some Bitch DA.

Yeah, I really dislike show Karen, but I think that's the point.  Foggy's fun but the DA story is zzz.

1. unintentional hilarity with the tweets calling couch potatoes to arms to watch season 2 of caredevil
2. typical tumblr types focusing on the symbols of dehumanization instead of the consequences of dehumanization (being murdered because you're no longer regarded as a human) smgdh can we get some HOW COME AMERICANS LIKE TRUMP thought pieces to go with this?
3. even numbered lists are ugly

[Human Snorenado]

...can we trade Kara for Esch? Is that a thing that's possible?

[Kara]

Like my ancestors I voluntarily went into a ghetto, there are plenty of other ways to keep in touch with your Southern roots than trading human beings like Pokemon cards.

So Season 2 sucks?

Take the word of someone that unironically reads 40K books, breh

[Bebpo]

So Season 2 sucks?

Seems about on par with S1.  Some great fights, nice shots, the main cast does good with their roles, but also a lot of boring stuff dragging it out to 13eps when a lot of these Netflix seasons should be closer to 8-10 eps.

Just watch fucking Narcos already to see Netflix do something right.

Is Narcos good? For some reason have been able to press play on that one yet

Same.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Yeah. It's an interesting take on Escobar that's for sure.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

I hate, hate, hate the narrative framing in Narcos. The stupid narrator makes the show unwatchable for me.

I'd be all over a version where they just told the Escobar story in a straightforward way.

I disagree, for people who know about Escobar and his cartel I can see why it's a bit repetitive, but for most of the general population it helps define what they are looking at.

Interesting thing about Pablo and El Chapo Guzman, a TV celebrity bitch helped bring them both down. Ironic.

like how the punisher is ok with people selling him clearly stolen goods (the police radio punisher buys looks like it's still attached to the center console from a crown vic )

quis custodiet ipsos vigiles smh

Maybe Castle is following Proudhon now.

s2 isn't as good as s1. About 70% of scenes are completely predictable after the first exchange between characters. Extremely weak writing.

Felt like less filler than the first season.

Fights are better than ever.

Punisher and Elektra were well-done.

I'm probably the only person who liked the court stuff. It's the core of Daredevil and I was worried it wouldn't be present at all this season, based on the trailers.

Charlie Cox is cute as hell and hot AF.



Season needed more Rosario.

Bring on more mystical ninja shit in s3.

DD S1 > DD S2 > JJ

[Madrun Badrun]

I prefer JJ too, but mostly just cause the purple man was so damn good.  If season 2 focuses on Nuke its gonna suck.  JJ > S1 DD > S2 DD.  That being said I would so be up for a marvel netflix show every 3 months.  I'd kill for a blade one. 

[Kara]

Well Judge Fang, from my rough understanding of MCU continuity this show takes places after The Avengers, so even if we ignore the fact that public coffers were in all likelihood already quite threadbare after years of raiding by upstanding members of the community named (or in the employ of) The Kingpin, they're also probably quite threadbare from rebuilding the city after Londo Mollari and those damn Centauri blew it to hell with mass drivers while a superteam of feckless quip repositories blundered about trying to stop them (#FreeGKar #NeverForget #SolidarityIsForMinbariWomen), so stealing public property is even more egregious than just normally stealing public property as it has to be replaced with money that isn't there. (Somehow I don't think the MCU NYC school system is the envy of the MCU Northeast.) But hey I'm sure the Punisher is an otherwise upstanding member of his community.

[Madrun Badrun]

Easy made up answer, Stark paid for the rebuilding on NY - dude it very rich.  Punisher doesn't care about stark's money.  Kingpin was stealing reconstruction money which is what initially set off the investigation into him in DD season 1.

There /was/ a Blade TV show. It was pretty good. I'm guessing you mean a specifically MCU-based TV show?

well more netflix quality is what i hope for.  mcu is just bonus.

[benjipwns]

Not as much as I originally thought it would be. The comic goes nuts in one direction like twelve issues in, this takes the other option (because it has to) but other than this Lucifer seeming younger and less serious it's kinda the same premise of Lucifer dicking around on Earth and being fascinated by humans that the comic started with.

The episode a couple weeks back had a nice moment where Lucifer and another angel are cracking jokes about how fat Saint Paul was.

Plus I like it as a nice little replacement for Constantine.

No self respecting Vertigo stan would want to mention that garbage ass show.

Hush, Maz.

[Bebpo]

Ok, I thought the Punisher arc was good, but not great.  Highlights being the hallway fight in ep3, the rooftop scene and ep4's end, but the rest being kind of boring when Punisher wasn't around much in ep1 & 2.  But since Elektra showed up, been really enjoying this (at ep8 now).  I love how true to the comics the Daredevil/Elektra relationship is.  Feels a lot more like the Bendis comic brought to life than S1 was.  I like that Matt's a dick; feels pretty accurate to his comic character.  Plus the supernatural stuff is great for setting up Iron Fist.
