Trust me, you are taking this a lot more seriously then I am.
Last time The Hand dug a hole in NYC Matt ended up getting possessed by The Beast which is the mythical demon/god The Hand serve.


They could also be tunneling into K'un-L'un somewhere the mystical veil is thin depending on how the defenders shapes up.

Yes I definitely want the worst Daredevil story ever to make it into the TV series.

I'm reading it now and there's a lot of potential there if anyone at Marvel has the wit to see it. Princess Mononoke in Hell's Kitchen baybee.

But it'll probably be horrible of they ever tried to adapt it.

Everyone says it's Stone, but I can't remember if it's substantiated anywhere or just fan wanking.

Honestly I don't know how much we really know about the hierarchy of The Chaste. I just re-watched the end of S1 Stick's episode, and the cuts on Stone's back look a lot like the cuts Matt endured in this season. Maybe Stone was recooperating from injuries and that's why Stick is doing all the legwork. Maybe Stone is top poo poo and Stick is his bitch. Maybe Stick just doesn't trust anyone else except himself for the job to be done and done right. I was kind of shocked we didn't see Stone in this season, but they're clearly continuing the Hand storyline in either S3 or Defenders.

Iron Fist is most likely going to have a connection to.

I might have to go back to it. I was basically done with it when Felicity walked out. It was the absolutely stupidest, most hackneyed drama ever.

"You're the best looking guy here."
That was the most cringeworthy scene. Made even worse by the fact it was literally the last shot of the episode. Both the happiness at seeing her walk again and the sadness of them breaking up are cut so abrupt you have no idea what just happened.

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.

Yeah but time wraiths? did we need a stronger argument against time traveling to solve all your problems?

No but we did need an argument for "So if it's that easy for Barry to time travel, why doesn't he just do it all the time?"

Yeah I don't know, he already let his mom die for the sake of the time, "because it'll gently caress everything up" is more satisfying to me than "tonally out of place deus ex machina". Ultimately I can't be mad solely for the potential of more Pied Piper

I found it amusing that Barry has been repeatedly warned not to gently caress with time, has seen how it can go poorly, was warned AGAIN about loving up the time line, and then immediately started loving with it the first chance he got.

I liked how right before he was going to go back to the future, he pulled Cisco aside to tell him about Ronnie and right then the wraith popped up on the scanner like he heard it and was like "This motherfucker..."

Flash this week had Barry doing the stupidest poo poo ever and Arrow this week was so stupidly comic-booky that it was borderline amazing. Seriously watching Mr. Terrific do gymnastics to avoid a bee in a large room was so idiotic that it looped around to awesomeness. Also a bee man made out of bees and the villain of the week just throwing out cringe worthy bee puns every few seconds made it worth it. It felt like the writers of Flash and Arrow exchanged duties for a week.

Barry doing the stupidest poo poo ever is basically his default mode. It's one of a several reasons I stopped watching the show so it's good to hear I made a good decision.

If by cringeworthy you mean greatest, most hilarious scene in the whole series.
