Season 3 sucked. Not sad it got cancelled.

season 2 is just OK with some good episodes

The decision to separate the main cast, taking out all the human elements of Daredevil's life, and replace them with ninjas, was perhaps a poor decision. Everything to do with the Punisher was hardcore as **** though.

I want someone to confirm that.
Some **** was so tedious that I had to skip whole scenes.

I was just reading about all that, trying to make sense of wtf I was watching. It's been a few decades since I've read a Daredevil comic, so I've had to do a little catching up.

Corny but still rockin, and when eventually she was recognized as crazy as **** but still Daredevil's lobster she became very charming. I'm just bummed her costume never got gud. I know the classic Elektra costume would look kinda ridiculous in the TV series but at least something that resembled it would have been nice.

I've only seen part of it tbh but I don't remember disliking it. It was bogus that the followup with Elektra happened in The Defenders though. Like, once I realized I'd missed a lot of Daredevil's character arc cause I hadn't watched it I got kinda pissed off.

The Punisher didn't start out in Daredevil. He started out in Spider-Man actually. But basically in season 2 of Daredevil (before season 1 of Punisher) he just shows up, starts massacring gang members and putting them on meat hooks, and it's ****ing brutal as ****. He's actually acting like The ****ing Punisher so you don't see a buildup of him going all Punisher, he just is the Punisher. BTW if you actually want to get a handle on Punisher in modern comics I'd say Garth Ennis' Punisher MAX series is a good way to go.

That's about where I left it after reading a couple articles. Not sure if I'll be grabbing any rags to thumb through, but if I do I appreciate the heads-up.

and how dirty he does Daredevil knocking out his goddamn hearing

but yeah I started to find the supporting characters just annoying and whiny and their scenes got repetitive and tedious

where as in the first season at least Foggy was charming and added some comic relief

Karen was arguably the main character of season 2 and pretty great.

The Batlord 02-05-2019 02:53 PM

She's the one who actually does the leg work to figure things out and is very likeable while Daredevil fights boring ninjas.

The Batlord 02-05-2019 03:08 PM

It saved the Daredevil part of the season but the best part was always the Punisher half and Karen was the lynch pin of that. She was the one who uncovered everything and she was the one through which the audience related to him.

Hells yes Arrow season 2 is ****ing amazing. Deathstroke is great and the series took itself to the next level. When Arrow was in it's first two seasons it was hands down my favorite series on television. I've only seen up to halfway through season 3 and it didn't seem like it was building on that so much as capitulating to the shipping demands of the fanbase. I don't know anything about how the rest of the series is viewed but the dip in quality of season 3 just felt like jumping the shark from which a series doesn't recover.
