Agents of shield would have been much better if it could have just started closer to Winter Soldier's release. The monster of the week crap is just filler before the main event could actually start.

A rich black guy/kid would work as well as a rich white guy/kid, but anything other than bald loving happenstance connecting Danny Rand to all of this weird poo poo and mysticism would hurt the character at least a little. Best if no one can read any spiritual/racial destiny stuff into it at all. Hell make the character a fat black gay woman.

It's weird, but after this, the only Netflix marvel show I have any real worries about is Luke Cage. No reason to fear for Iron Fist at all, and while Jessica Jones is going to contain some stuff that could well be mishandled I have genuine hope that they'll be able to make it work without stepping too far over the line in either direction and loving it all up. No, it's really only Luke Cage that I worry about. I mean, what themes or ideas are they going to be able to find to really drive it home and make it special?

Gao was probably just forming connections and getting a feel for the "real" world. Her whole deal was likely just setting up and intelligence gathering for some future endeavor.

So I'm starting to wonder if Luke Cage is going to end up being a romantic comedy/love story that'll build on whatever relationship Luke and Jessica start in AKA Jessica Jones. It'd give them their humanizing hook plus allow for an un-tread angle in super hero (well at least cinematic) stories.

So would Danny then be the "wrong kind of asian" for certain important characters in his story instead of the "wrong kind of everything"?

Here is the thing I think it's more important that the character be useful for telling relevant and interesting stories that will appeal to as large an audience as possible than it is to fulfill anyones racial or national pride. While Danny's origins as a white man definitely owe to racism it's ironic that his status as a white man is likely a better hook for stories about racism, othering, and alienation than if he had been asian the whole time.

He also gets himself shot because a) Fisk is a huge baby who cannot take care of himself and b) Wesley is both extremely servile and protective of the guy to a fault. Basically neither of them can or will really let Fisk be his own man and people die because of it.

etalian posted:I thought his mom remembered Karen, it's how Fisk made the connection back to Ben. The lady at the newspaper who was working for Fisk told Fisk it was Ben. Fisk has totally no idea that Karen or any woman at all was involved, and his mother was totally useless as far as information about "who she met" goes. This is all pretty explicitly shown on screen.

Karen clearly clearly made a mistake going to that home and dragging Urich along. But when the whole point of the show is that these characters are very human and do in fact gently caress up and make bad choices I can't really find it in me to HATE Karen for this.

Nobu was in deep poo poo with "his people" because of the loss of The Black Sky. He almost certainly expected to die, and knew Fisk was setting him up. I mean, even if he did kill Matt and also managed to escape from Fisk, he was more than likely a dead man anyway.

It's a really good show, at least as good as Daredevil. But it's flaws are more glaring than those in Daredevil. It does make me very happy that I'm not the sort of person to dwell on specific flaws when the whole is so good. Also, I have to say that a whole bunch of Doctor Who fans only just now realizing that The Doctor is a delusional narcissist because Tennant played a delusional narcissist in this does make me chuckle a little bit.

Like seriously, Jessica wasn't being dumb. She was trapped by the circumstances and unable to act and Hope recognized it and remedied it. In the end it was Hope that saved Jessica, directly, using the first bit of agency she's able to get her hands on. And this, Hope's self sacrifice in order to save Jessica from the cycle of violence she's trapped in makes all the loving difference. Hope doesn't simply demand Jessica do violence, or admonish her for the refusal to do it, or attempt to do it for her.

like loving seriously, while we the viewer know that Hogarth cannot be trusted in this situation, Jessica has no real reason to believe the woman would do something so god damned loving stupid. Like Jessica has no loving clue that Hogarth's divorce situation is going quite as badly as it is, she really doesn't know how desperate Hogarth is becoming. Do you really have this much trouble separating what you, as the viewer know, from what the characters can or do know?

She knew Kilgrave knew there was a weakness he could exploit and she still leaves her alone with him.

Anyway, I know exactly why Luke left. Nurse lady's (forgot her name) talk to Luke at the end was dead spot on, dude realized he's got some poo poo to work through, and left to do that. Luke isn't exactly the most complicated of people, in fact he's about the most level headed guy around, it's part of what makes him a good and/or fun character. Sane and stable man in an insane world. So I'm just going to assume he's left to do what he has to do.

His wife also had a connection to what's on that drive, and apparently never told Luke a drat bit of anything about anything before she died. I'm thinking themes of past mistakes and secrets and lies are on the table for Luke's series.

Until Hope sacrifices herself Simpson's insistence that they Kill mudercorpse isn't even the correct course of action, and arguably still isn't the correct course of action afterwards. Just because he's correct in the end doesn't mean he's correct in the moment.
