Punisher doesn't deliver on superhero action implied by the Marvel label. Still a good show, but Daredevil is pretty much the only marvel tv show to actually bring heroes doing comic book poo poo to the small screen for better or for worse.

Doing a rewatch of Luke Cage again. Actually comes off better the second time. Still miss Cottonmouth in the second half but I'm warming up to Diamondback more than I did the first time. Show has some nice flow and interesting characters.

Really want Shades to be Frisk's new Wesley in DD S3.

Apparently that was Patsy Walker's origins in the comics, and she just kept around during the romance/who gives a gently caress comics to the silver age transition.

This thread hilariously overrates Punisher, who throughout 400 episodes of brooding has not one fight scene as good as the worst stuff in Daredevil.

By design. Punisher only has one traditional 'fight scene' that comes to mind, and a lot of Frank turning ex-special forces mercenaries into teenagers in a slasher flick.

Fighting is secondary to spandex drama, honestly.

I agree somewhat regarding DDS2 (though I hate the undead ninjas, they super hosed that up not to mention they completely forgot how Matt's powers work rofl) but I also know that the DDS2 showrunners performed the abortion that is The Defenders, and that's what makes me pessimistic regarding DDS3.

DDS3 has a new showrunner, FWIW.

Very disappointed to read about the black suit. When I watch a show about Daredevil, I expect to see a Daredevil costume. The black suit is just boring.

Didn't Matt wake up in a nunnery? They (or somebody) probably ditched the suit so he has to make do.

I litterally stopped when they had Ward become the lovecraftian horror that was the inspriation for hydra or something. Not because it got too stupid, but other things happened. Then I found out they gave Ghost Rider a goddamned car. You don't ride a loving car, he cant be goddamned ghost RIDER if he's driving a muscle car! He needs a goddamned motorcycle you loving morons!.

Dude. It's comic books. There's been like five different Captain Americas, two or eight Spider-Men, etc. It's not that hard to find Ghost Rider using something besides a motorcycle.

Are people just not aware that Blaze isn't the only Ghost Rider or something? Honestly I like Reyes a lot, especially in AoS. I wonder how people would've reacted if they gave him the skull he has in the comics though.

Don't come in expecting Blaze to come rocketing in as the cavalry. If you don't mind spoilers since you're trying to figure out if you want to watch it: When Reyes gets his car flipped by gangsters and is dying, Johnny is shown from the knees down pulling up on his bike and getting off to offer him a piece of the Spirit of Vengeance. Robbie characterizes it for a Faustian bargain before that's revealed, but from the way he's dressed, it's very clearly Blaze.

AoS is really good and I can't believe in a thread for the lukewarm hit or miss mess of most Marvel Netflix people are dissing it. :rolleye:

Robbie is cool and I'm glad he's an Avenger now, but I will never stop being mad about the short end of the stick Ketch got. Blaze was good in his book as a Constantine-type.
