Tell them about your meticulously kept credits spreadsheet.

The fun shit is in the art they sneak in at the end

I really liked ep 2. Tim Roth was great and despite the aesthetic of the cgi Shulk emotes really well. There's genuine acting going on which is not easy to do with digital avatars.

Daredevil's new suit looks pretty bad IMO.....

I marked hard for the notes of the theme though

I honestly don't get why they would've wanted to adapt the yellow and red motif of Daredevil's suit. The Netflix version worked fine. That's like adapting the Grant Morrison X-Men "costumes" from 2001.

That being said, it was fun to see him and his interaction with Jennifer is what helped make the episode, even though it was a more lighthearted take on the character than I would have liked. Hopefully they fix that when his series gets going.

Destor 10-09-2022 08:28 PM

5 eps in and im enjoying the show. Has a ton of personality

Destor 10-12-2022 10:02 AM

Just watched 108. Really good ep. The set up for the finale was very strong. Daredevil was a ton of fun and i dont mind him being played lighter in the context of this series. This is a comedy he should be playing for laughs however in his own IP i do want it to have a more serious tone.

SPOILER: show
also having him fight in a hallway but to not put in the time both in the choreography or cinematography makes me more let down than nostalgic. Still liked it but a little more effort woulda been nice.

drave 10-12-2022 10:10 AM

Netflix Daredevil: S2E1




Love that fight.

drave 10-12-2022 10:10 AM

fucking watching it again right damn now

drave 10-12-2022 10:12 AM

OOh, and then the entire prison escape sequence from Season 3?




FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.




There's never been a better casting of Kingpin. EVER.

Destor 10-12-2022 10:23 AM

Ep 102 (the first hallway fight) moved me to tears. The notion that this man would take so much punishment for stranger simply because it was right. It hit me hard. I liked the MCU a lot but that was the moment i was all in.

Destor 10-12-2022 10:24 AM

Thats the most heroic anyone has been in the mcu.

drave 10-12-2022 10:31 AM

100p


The shittiest thing to happen to it was it getting cancelled. I hope they do it justice, just like the Netflix version, but I have my doubts :(

Destor 10-12-2022 10:40 AM

They have my benefit of doubt. Theyve created a mature section on the app and created a password protected account system yadda yadda. Theyve clearly done work so the app can be both family friendly and still have the content they need for adults. They wouldnt do this if they werent meaning to release mature content.

Destor 10-12-2022 10:40 AM

Maybe its shit, sure. But theyll have to shit the bed before i throw them out of my house

drave 10-12-2022 10:43 AM

I was more concerned with them wanting to go more of a.... "Guardians of the Galaxy" route, a la low brow humor and all that.



Don't get me wrong, it can absolutely have it's comedic moments. It really should follow the exact tone of what the Netflix writers (or whoever they are) were doing.

Destor 10-12-2022 10:52 AM

The tone is super important. In the films theyre playing with tone though. Eternals, while boring, dropped the marvel tone for 98% of the film. They know the netflix daredevil was popular and hopefully theyll attempt to make a show that just feels like the s4 we've been waiting for. At the least i can hold out hope until they give me a reason burn the house down with them inside it.

Damian Rey 2.0 10-12-2022 02:05 PM

I loved Netflix daredevil. His rooftop scene with Punisher and the “I BEAT YOU” finale v kingpin were highlights for me. Especially the latter.

OK, the last episode is fucking great if for no other reason than the 'climax', if you will. It could be seen as a giant middle finger but I prefer to look at it as some top notch trolling.

Blonde Moment 10-13-2022 06:48 AM

The ending sucked and it makes me question whether bothering to watch a 2nd season , if there even is one, not to mention how this negatively impacts Daredevil going forward.

I saw it as taking the piss out of themselves. That intro is tremendous. :lol:

Blonde Moment 10-13-2022 06:03 PM

I think the intro is the only thing I loved about that episode. Hell, if they would have done the whole episode that way it would have been epic

Destor 10-13-2022 07:50 PM

Horrendous finale.

Blonde Moment 10-13-2022 08:23 PM

They need to make this right

Destor 10-13-2022 08:34 PM

Im not up in arms about it or anything. Its really awful though. Both the initial climax and the given climax are both outlandish. At least the proposed climax addressed plot strands. What we got resolved nothing and just said things were resolved. If thats all it takes is a throw away line we could have listed the major plot points in the 1st act of 101 and announced them resolved in the 3rd act and saved me 4 hours.

Lock Jaw 10-14-2022 12:10 AM

Well, that was certainly one way to end the show.

XL 10-14-2022 01:57 PM

Oh my.

I was enjoying this. That “ending” was just nothing.

ron the dial 10-14-2022 07:19 PM

yeah i had a lot of fun with this show but that finale was AWFUL

Destor 10-14-2022 07:20 PM

All the things you were liking and/or invested in? None of that. Wink into the camera and roll the credits.

XL 10-15-2022 05:23 PM

I’d have been OK with the subversion if they’d actually delivered something afterwards. But that? Nah.

Fignuts 10-15-2022 06:51 PM

I haven't read she hulk in a while, but last I checked she would break the fourth wall. Not tear the whole thing down and take a hot steamy shit on it.

Destor 10-15-2022 07:08 PM

She's used the comic panels to get places faster. Its doesnt matter if its comic accurate though its bad regardless

She has had conversations with the writers before. It's completely on brand. Maybe it's because I didn't have high expectations or something but this really didn't bother me and I laughed my ass off. Unfortunately, the thing with "Kevin" was somewhat ruined because of the subtitles being on and that kind of gave away the jig.

Wait, they did this on the show?? Really?! :n:

That's some shit straight outta Genesis Comix Zone

on the show she used the D+ app panels. Same in principle

Fignuts 10-16-2022 02:25 PM

If it was just using the netflix menu to get somewhere quick, that would have been great, but it was followed by a giant meta dump that abandoned every plot thread.

She talked to writers in the comics but don't recall her ever doing it for half a damn issue.

Destor 10-16-2022 04:10 PM

The dropping the plot is my issue. Theres no resolution.

Yeah, it was kind of a big "fuck you" to everyone. A bigger one than the sometimes-y jank CGI.

I don't just mean where they skipped the ending and hand-waved it away by literally just saying "... and everything worked out in the end" without actually fixing the intentional car wreck that was going on with the "original" climax, but because of that, the whole show was dangerously close to final season of Game of Thrones. But yeah, that thing where they skipped having an actual resolution was pretty lame. I preferred the bullshit made up on Futurama for "Single Female Lawyer" to this.

Like, half the narrative is about Jen being mousey and not having agency in her life until she becomes Shulkie, but the whole show is simultaneously about She Hulk ultimately not having agency in the MCU.

You have a show like Loki, that is a device to explain concepts like different versions of the same person and introduce Kang as an impending big bad. You have something like WandaVision using the narrative devices of old sitcoms in a creative fashion to show Wanda's simultanious detererating mental state and upswing in magical ability.... but it's like this whole thing was just a setup to establish Wong and Abomination having a relationship (not like that) that might as well have had a big placard in front of it that says "for future movie use" and say "Yeah, we got Daredevil on Disney now, suckas!" She Hulk felt almost like an aftertought in her own goddamn show. Even Cousin Larry Appleton being her dad made him seem like more of a story-essential person than her. How are you second fiddle in your own series?

It was kinda fun at times, but in the end, pretty empty. And from the same place that scrapped Squirrel Girl for being "too gay"... which begs the question, how lazy in the writing department would that show have been?

Savio 11-04-2022 07:00 PM

It's like when wrestlers mention they are about to "go off the script".

El Vaquero de Infierno 12-01-2022 03:27 PM

I didn't get the point of the series. It was just overall naff.

Rammsteinmad 12-29-2022 10:18 AM

Just finished watching this last night, I really enjoyed it. Just takes a different route from the usual Marvel series/movies, but I liked it.

K.E.V.I.N. and the whole finale was fun. "Are we getting the X-Men?", "See you on the big screen"... "the movies?", so many fourth wall breaks that were fun.

Daredevil's return (as Daredevil) was fun. Not only has Charlie Cox not skipped a beat, but the stride with pride was absolutely hilarious... "good morning"...

Really good show. I'm sure She-Hulk will be a lot more serious and focused if she makes it to the big screen, but I enjoyed the series and look forward to another season.

El Vaquero de Infierno 12-29-2022 12:09 PM

The whole fourth wall thing in She-Hulk fell flat with me. Perhaps it is because I grew up with Saved by the Bell, Clarissa Explains It All, and Malcolm in the Middle; so I'm use to that thing. Plus, Kevin Spacey kind of owned it in House of Cards.

You aren't gonna like deadpool then.

El Vaquero de Infierno 12-29-2022 04:55 PM

No. I like Deadpool. Unlike She-Hulk, it is actually funny and entertaining.

drave 01-02-2023 10:21 AM

it's cuz women aren't funny. South Park taught us this.


Thank you, Cartman.

El Vaquero de Infierno 01-02-2023 11:01 AM

Women can be funny (30 Rock for instance), but She-Hulk was not funny. It was just naff.

drave 01-02-2023 11:17 AM

You're wrong. This is why its the Isle of Man, not Woman.

Rammsteinmad 01-03-2023 09:19 AM

The episode with Daredevil is hilarious. Loved when he was teaching her the difference between goons and henchmen.
