JJ S2 is just miserable. All around miserable for no pay off, or anything. All the characters just get treated like poo poo and everyone ends up broken for nothing.

From season 2. Matt visited him in jail and Wilson was subtly shown to have an "ah-ha" moment. It seemed to be left that Fisk strongly suspects it at least. Been a while since I watched it but I think he tried to call Matt's bluff by hitting him or something

Did Jessica Jones ever really wear a costume in the comics? They made some cheeky references to the classic Iron Fist costume in S2, but they definitely never put Danny in a green and yellow jumpsuit. The most he gets is a hoodie with the accent colors. Probably for the best. It's not like he has an identity to hide since he tells everyone he meets that he's the Immortal Iron Fist.

She had a costume for a while as “Jewel”. They show the costume, but not her wearing it, in JJS1 when her gal pal is trying to convince her to go full superhero. It was a cute reference.

As for Danny, he's the one dude in all the MCU who should be wearing a mask drat it. Tony Stark is out there saving the world, he can kinda get away with doing it in plain sight. Danny Rand is the billionaire punching mooks on the street, he should be getting hit with lawsuits all the time. I'd let myself get Iron Fisted for that sweet sweet out of court settlement money.

Sadly, this. I adore S1, which is one of the finest seasons of anything, ever. I can't recommend S2 to anyone. The only good arc was Hogarth's, the rest is terrible. And putting Nuke on a bus in the first couple of episodes was a waste.

I kind of liked what an equivocating piece of poo poo her stepdad ended up being while still always acting like an affable cool boomer guy. Like, she hates him for all the unfair reasons you would expect her to dislike him, but he's also just a weak piece of poo poo who can't keep his word for the span of a single episode.

I'll speculate that they're riffing on one of the Born Again story beats, and either Kingpin has Potter make it for him or Kingpin just has Bullseye steal it from Matt. Kingpin is aware Murdock is DD from S1, yeah?

This would make sense come to think of it since we're shown Matt wearing the head scarf in the trailer, which is probably due to him haven his suit stolen. If (when) Fisk confirms Matt as DD it'd be a simple matter to send Bullseye to his apartment and discover the costume and then blow the place up. Makes more sense then constructing a duplicate since Wilson would have no idea who the gently caress Melvin Potter is.

Speaking of Potter, his nervous breakdown and becoming the Gladiator would make a good sub-plot. Maybe make him obsessed with Karen instead of whoever it was he was taken with in the comics. Forgot her name. Perhaps Melvin runs into some trouble with a parole violation or an assault or something and Nelson, Page and Murdock defend him. From there, he falls in love with Karen and starts having his Galdiator hallucinations.

I hope Frank has at least a cameo or a small role in this since they set up the conflict between him and Kingpin in DDs2 and their conflict was left unresolved. Maybe Fisk tries to bring in Castle who turns him down before he ultimately settles on Bullseye. Frank was shown to at least suspect Matt as DD in once courtroom scene so that would work. Maybe have him somehow aid Matt a bit.

drat, I can't wait for this. Re-watching D'Onfrio's scenes from the first two seasons has me hyped.

Why would he have no idea who Melvin is? He was the guy making the Kingpins armoured suits in season 1 wasn't he?

Wrong, Stick was a ninja and he improved every scene he was in. It's more physical proximity any character has to Elektra. Sigourney Weaver away from Elektra good, with her terrible.

Weaver did have that scene with Madame Gao in an early episode that managed to be super boring, haha. There is an Elektra problem but Weaver’s character wasn’t any good at all.

I actually saw a fight scene at the panel yesterday and it was incredible. The new showrunner also teased that they found a way to top the hallway fight in one of the episodes (but refused to specify which episode), and while I'm kind of torn on that becoming a "thing," I'm down for a good fight.

I don't think so. Punisher was pretty standalone and was better for it overall. Holding out hope that Frank shows up somewhere similar to Wilson's limited role in DDs2 at least but given how Punisher concluded it might be a hard sell to work him in there .

I think someone on the DDS3 team outright said there'd be no Punisher connection. Karen will continue to show up in both, but that's apparently it.

BSS has been floating rumors that Punisher S2 will be based on The Slavers, incidentally.

The Punisher series is incredibly self-contained, with just a couple of Karen Page appearances to link it to the other shows. No matter what happens in DDS3 you could probably watch Punisher before, during, or after.

It also loving owns, and being self-contained is one of its strengths. Unlike the other shows that try to be part of the bigger MCU, albeit with winks and nods, Punisher tries to almost pretend aliens and monsters aren't a thing because good luck having people be against guns in a world with extra-terrestrial invasions on the reg.

God, I'd already blanked out Patsy doing that. I liked that they hinted she was getting setup to be Hellcat at the end, but the entire path to getting there was so dour and miserable and spiteful. Already have Jessica as the moody one with issues, Patsy/Hellcat is supposed to be the peppy happy chum who revels in doing the superhero stuff that JJ only grudgingly does on her own terms. Instead we got... that.

I think Jessica Jones is possibly the biggest swing in quality from a first to a second season of a show that I can think of. The only plus side is that JJ1 can be enjoyed for the perfect self-contained arc that it is and then pretend there was no more.

Yeah, one of the best parts of JJ was the patsy/jess relationship. These 2 damaged people who always looked out for one another and had a real bond. How selfish and petty Trish's path to getting powers was in season 2 ehhhh was pretty shity on its own, but whatever they could get past that. Having her come back at the last second to kill her mom in front of her for no good reason was just insane, and pushed it beyond anything reasonable. Theres no way to do anything in a season 3 now with Trish and Jess together. It also just felt like a really crap way to treat one of marvel's oldest female characters, and pretty much puts her beyond redemption.

I stopped watching Daredevil S2 when it came out because the Punisher is the worst but finally finished it and it's amazing how they can somehow make a blind guy fighting an army of ninjas boring. Also the Punisher is still the worst but his stand alone show wasn't that bad since they didn't have him interacting with normal "heroes." Seeing him with Daredevil just pointed out how ridiculous the whole traditional hero "I don't kill [but I'll beat a random criminal goon so bad he'll have permanent brain damage and walk with a cane]" thing is.

I think The Punisher is the best season of Marvel Netflix, and DDS1 is a close second.

The Punisher is one of my least favorite comic characters because he fits into the world of superheroes so badly but his standalone show was ok, if a little too gory for my tastes. He just sucked all the air out of Daredevil S2 but I guess if he wasn’t there it just would have been more ninjas.
