And this being New York, only wide open areas or rooftops get lots of sun. And Shutterbug said 'find her in time'. So it's a clocktower. That's it, Iron Fist! She's being held in the old Metropolitan Life building!" "Golly gosh, Daredevil, that sure came into focus quick!" "No time for levity, Iron Fist, we have to parkour to Madison Square Park right away!" "You bet, Daredevil! But y'know I could have just looked at the picture for you to save even more time!"

Dude, do you not read the comics? Daredevil just needs to lick the photo so he can taste the different amounts of chemicals that create each color and outline, and then he crossreferences that with his memory of locations (or else licks his iphone screen of a google.maps website to taste the difference between photon valences displaying each CMYK color displayed) and then he can identify the place where that photo was taken and then Bob's your uncle he goes and saves the day. basically Daredevil licks things a lot....or maybe I just read a lot of daredevil fan-fiction, i don't know. I like Lobok's 60's Batman version of Daredevil best, though.

Patty Jenkins weighs on the Whedon storyquote:“I don’t even know if that deal is done or not – I don’t have the inside scoop on that,” Jenkins tells the Sun down the line from Los Angeles. “But if it is done, then I’m excited about it.” http://www.torontosun.com/2017/04/03/wonder-woman-director-on-joss-whedons-batgirl-hell-have-fun-in-the-dc-universe

Oddly enough, blind people can train themselves to see using echlocation. It doesn't give them superpowers though, just helps with navigating the world without eyesight.

There was an episode of This American Life that was a pilot for another show called Invisibilia, and had a story about a guy who used echolocation and trained others in it to get around exclusively. The production was very irritating but most irritating of all every time they talked about his "superpower" they said "Just like Batman!" and played a stinger from the 89 score.

I think Daredevil is the only netflix marvel show I've enjoyed. Incidentally it's the only one with some decent action scenes and characters I at least moderately care about Luke Cage was terribly mediocre and weird and Jessica Jones just did nothing for me

Daredevil is two really good 8 episode seasons crammed into 26 episodes. The first season has 3 episodes that are mostly flashbacks. It's a really glacially paced show with some good bits.

Daredevil's Fisk + Punisher stuff was super cool, the Elektra stuff less so. I'm much more likely to watch Punisher than Defenders. I skipped Luke Cage + Iron Fist because they look kinda weak. JJ was very good, but I can't say that I'd be excited for another season of it.

Luke Cage was very strong, almost as much so as Jessica Jones. Daredevil, excepting certain small arcs, doesn't measure up to either of them. Haven't watched Iron Fist yet, I went on vacation to a Netflix-less place a couple days before release and by now the stench has firmly settled around it.

The Netflix series seem to be in a downward arc from the already flawed Season 1 of Daredevil, whose failure was really the biggest wet fart of an ending after hours and hours of build-up. It didn't have too many as episodes as too much build-up, but it was still the best superhero action they've come up with so far. Jessica Jones was where they obviously start being thirteen episode seasons with at best ten episodes worth of plot. Luke Cage is where they forget to have a central theme for the plot to pivot around.

I can't believe they made four separate Netflix series about people who are mildly to significantly better at punching and who fight crime in New York.

Guy A. Person posted:"They did a study using actual scientific instruments to image parts of the brain" sounds like the exact opposite of "one weird trick" stuff Here is the study, which is suggestive but they only had two subjects (hard to get a very good sample of people who echolocate I'm sure). I'd be interested to see if the activity "flows down", starting in the parietal and moving into the occipital through the calcarine sulcus (where the V1 cortex is located) or vice versa. Starting in the occipital is indicative of "real" perception, while starting in the parietal is indicative of "imagined" perception.

They predicted this and had an in universe explanation! The comics were made decades before Hell's Kitchen was gentrified, but after the Chitari invasion all the whole foods were destroyed and the rich people moved out. Now hell's kitchen is ripe for Fisk's real estate buyout because of all the destruction.

The reason I ask is because I've seen two different things on it, both showed it was sorta bogus. The first one I remember seeing is about some kid who claimed to play video games using echolocation, which is obviously bullshit. The second was a guy who seemed to be legit, but the people doing the interview/test with him moved some furniture around and he failed miserably.

It's not the worst thing that happened. It's just how they kept Daredevil in his classic neighborhood while also setting the series in present day.

Starting in the occipital is indicative of "real" perception, while starting in the parietal is indicative of "imagined" perception. Someone was presenting up to date research on it here a couple of months ago, and there is good evidence that humans can genuinely echolocate. Lab controlled exercises were of the sort where people would be put 20 (feet? metres? I forget) away from a geometric shape. They were then tasked with identifying the shape by echolocation. There were variations of this study where they were allowed to move, and not allowed to move. People were divided into three groups: blind, expert echolocators (8 people), sighted people, and blind people not trained to do echolocation. I seem to remember that the expert group scored significantly better than the other two groups on all tasks, but also that the results for the other two groups suggested that they were doing better than would be suggested by purely uninformed (i.e. random) guessing. e: here's their bibliography on the subject
