Episode 203: God damn, that fight scene. Also, how did they get away with dropping the f-bomb? I thought that was an MCU golden rule, even for the Netflix shows?
As soon as they showed a bunch of Irish dudes in a bar I knew what to expect, which killed the gag of it coming after a big speech for me It's almost identical to one of the two Punisher comics I've read (max), name of the main dude even matches up
Grotto being actually important is hilarious
Non comics wise the Karen romance stuff is a bit awkward watching this right after the season one finale but I'll let it go as a consequence of the timeskip
Finished Season 2 today in one sitting and so glad I did, t'was amazing. Can't wait for the next series if there is one, the fight scene in Episode 3 or 4 down the stairs was superb, so cool! Loved the long continuous shots. Wasn't expecting to see Fisk back so soon but was a great surprise.
Please let there be a Punisher series, I don't know much about his Universe but want to see more.
Incredible storytelling, constantly playing with your emotions on which side to choose and then the ending! The show is far superior to any of the Marvel cinema universe output.
Also I want Daredevil game, think Phoenix Wright X Batman.
Just watched the first three episodes and it's been excellent so far.
Ironhide wrote:3rd episode wasn't that good until the last 10 minutes where it went all Old Boy/The Raid.
The fight choreography is incredible.
I didn't like the fight at the end of that episode. It tries to pretend it's one continuous shot but the cuts are really frequent and obvious and they keep zooming into doors and stuff for no reason other than to 'hide' the cuts. It was the same with the similar scene in season 1. They are a great idea but you either have to actually do it in one shot or the execution needs to be flawless if you're going to splice together afterwards.
The rest of the fight choreography is great and well above most other TV shows, but I don't think comparisons with The Raid are valid.
4 episodes in and enjoying it a lot. Daredevil is still doing that ridiculous spinning drop kick move, though. Is this something he does in the comics or is it just one of the stunt coordinator's favourite moves?
One of the things I like about this show is that it's an accurate representation of people's attitudes towards the disabled - or in this case, the seemingly disabled. This guy is empowered by his weakness, that is such a fundamentally strong concept. I mean, forgetting the fact that he literally is empowered by superpowers (pmsl lol etc etc), there are plenty of instances where he misunderstands it, or it comes too much for him to bear. Again, as both Matt and Daredevil. Peoples attitudes towards Matt - not Daredevil - are interesting as well. The fact that he's blind, a lot of characters speak to him in a different way - a mollycoddle here, condescension there...it's very interesting, and something that I personally can relate to a lot. Well written, shot and acted, it's the quintessential superhero TV series. It puts the half dozen out there already to absolute shame.
