When you sacrifice the most interesting things about your characters 20 minutes into the pilot, you should be cancelled.

DDS2 encapsulated the inverse ninja rule, to an eye rolling extreme. The one ninja drat near killed him, but a rooftop full of hundreds? Meh.

No, no, not canceled. They never planned for more than one season. Everyone on the show and the network were perfectly happy with what they created and would never dream of disrupting that perfection with a second season.

I think we can all agree that even if Daredevil season 2's fights were weaker, they were still better than Iron "56 cuts in 35 seconds" Fist by five or six country miles.

I love how they can quiet their heartbeats and move silent up until the second they have to take a breath at which point their movements are 100% "visible" for the rest of the fight.

It's almost like Daredevil already has an echolocation ability that can locate and identify bodies of mass regardless if they're breathing or not and the show hosed it up for fake drama

I really want Marvel Netflix to come off the skid it’s been in. I used to be hyped for all the new shows, but outside of The Punisher, it’s been a slog to try to finish any of them for a while.

In the comics Daredevil’s baton has Vibranium caps so when he banks it off a concrete floor or whatever it paints a soundscape of the room for him, that’s why he uses it so much more in group fights and usually just knuckles up for one or two guys.

Also insanely big lol at comparing the S2 DD stairwell fight to the glorious S1 Hallway fight, as if they deserved to be part of the same show.

Do yourself a favor and compare the way Matt moves in the hallway scene (slow, brooding, extra brutal, heavily inspired by wrestling movies) vs the stairwell (quick, overtly choreographed, lots of stupid little ninja punches and flips)

That one-take fight sequence from S1 ranks among some the all-time best TV scenes.

I don't really mind Matt's speed in the stairwell fight compared to the hallway, since in the hallway case he's very explicitly wounded and running on fumes. What I love about the hallway fight is that you visibly see Matt's exhaustation as the fight drags on.

Having that linked to me on youtube was what made me watch the Netflix shows in the first place. Me and probably half their viewership.

Imagine if it was the Iron Fist fight in the opening of Defenders instead.

I've made a huge mistake.
I've now managed to finish the second season of Jessica and I have to say I found it a complete disappointment — I only made it to the end out of some sunk cost fallacy. Superhero stuff lives and dies on the strength of the villain and there's nothing there. IGH, Dr Malus and her mother really should have character development B plot.

Counterpoint: superhero stuff lives and dies on the weakness of the hero. Villains are just a common delivery mechanism.

In retrospect season 2's main theme seems to have been just how powerless you can be, despite super strength, when the force opposing you isn't some villain you can justifiably punch, but the wheels of government bureaucracy at large.

I got to episode 10, thinking there were 10 episodes in total and gave up when I saw there were 3 more and also A Series of Unfortunate Events came out. I assume there's nothing new or interesting in the last 3 that anyone would recommend sticking it out?

The only thing I might want to know for future MCU stuff is, is Carrie Anne-Moss dead? Can someone black bar that poo poo up for me and save me 3 hours?

She's alive and the end of her arc is probably the best part of those three episodes.

I think netflix shoes have to take place outside of time because there’s no way to control how fast people watch. Agents of Shield probably has you covered, if it’s still on and airing this week.

They did a fakeout lost arm injury in season one and then backed off on it. She lost her arm for realsies in The Defenders not long before that tower blew up via ninja.
