Bruh I been into martial arts movies my whole life. Seen a vast majority and knew of cats like Jet Li and Donnie Yen YEARS before they hit remotely any kind mainstream success. From even in classic Bruce Lee movies u had this. I mean come on fam. And no they didn't have the same training. There's masters and then there's students. If u gonna role up into a school and think the masters and the students gonna be on the same level than be my guest. What it sounds like to me is u have no idea what u talkin bout. Like I said. U complaining about shyt that's prevelent in most martial arts movies. But even in real life. I've studied martial arts for years. The masters and sifu's were always >>>>>>>. And when in the show did they fight 400 ninjas at a time? And the ninjas was giving him a hard time. Especially since he couldn't hear a heartbeat. U think the shyt the Punisher was doin to them heavily armed gangs was realistic?

I grew up during the Sho Kosugi / Ernie Reyes Jr era breh, I've seen just as many movies as you. And again it was cool when I was a kid but it doesn't fly for me nowadays. They managed to make the fights in S1 suspenseful and (imo) with better coreography than in S2. That's just my opinion you're welcome to disagree but I'm not sure why you're trying to argue with me about my opinion.

You're right about masters vs students, but c'mon you know those hand ninjas were just throwaways. The trope is tired; I'd much rather see the protagonast fight 2 ninjas that are truly threatening than 40 ninjas who run in with swords above their heads, take one shot to the chest, and fly offscreen. That's a pointless, poorly executed encounter and a waste of time, especially after the excellent fights that we got in Season 1.

The 400 ninjas thing was an exaggeration, but you know what I meant.

And no I don't think the punisher was realistic either, but what was cool about that was they addressed it in universe. Remember how many thugs were like, "I couldn't believe it was just one man..." so it was acceptable to me because even in-universe everyone was like, "This doesn't make any damn sense."

People feel that same way about Daredevil tho bruh. Noone could believe one man was running around the city. While blind mind u. fukkin everybody up. There's nothing realistic about Daredevil. His whole shyt is that he's stronger and faster than all of those regular ninjas. Put it like this. If Daredevil is a superhero. Cats like Nobu are supervillains. Nobu was technically supposed to be more experienced and skilled than Daredevil. Which is why he had to step it up and almost died in the first season. And it took 2 of em to get at him in this season. It makes sense within the universe that those other ninjas can't fukk wit Daredevil. And forget ernie reyes. I'm talkin bout Gordon Liu. Sammo Hung. Old Jackie Chan. From them to people like Jet Li. Donnie Yen. Michelle Yeoh. People like this. BEFORE they were famous. Either way I understand ur opinion. Which I'm not gonna knock. I'm just saying in context of the show and Daredevils skills it makes sense bro.

:ahh:
Finished the show :wow: Daredevil has been one of my favorite Marvel characters and the show really captures his spirit
I feel this season a bit more than the first one and that was dope as well.
They perfectly gave Daredevil, Punisher and Elektra time to shine thru out the season.
When I got to see Kingpin, I was reminded why he is just a fearsome villain.


Now I just gotta wait for season 3

See you around Red :mjcry:

That's my vigilante.

They're brilliant in tying in the series together

Here's my hot take :jbhmm:

For luke cage I can see them starting heroes for hire business and Danny will come in and join as a partner while Jerri, for reasons unknown in the Jessica Jones series, will leave her law firm. This maybe because of her legal issues and her girlfriend committing suicide.once that happens Luke will influence her to become the business lawyer and Jessica will join since atvthe end of her season she was confused on whether or not she needs to become a hero or not

Matt & Karen's relationship is the best in the MCU second to maybe Cap & Peggy

I like how they had Matt & Karen have a nice moment in Ep 4 then back to back in Ep 5 they contrasted it with Matt & Elektra's relationship...

I'm in the middle of "Guilty of Sin", when Castle takes the stand, and brehs.......


....the DA really let Murdock deliver closing arguments while "questioning" the witness :mjlol:

First rule of writing courtroom drama:

We don't have a goddamn clue about what goes on in a courtroom, so just focus on the drama.

Matt was like 'allow me to treat the witness as hostile, your honor?', then completely ignored Castle and addressed the jury directly.:deadmanny:

ok aint even gonna lie .. never got into 'daredevil 'when younger //knew a little about the background story but not much :yeshrug:

but checked the first few episodes of daredevil on the strength of the reviews off this site and rating on netflixx :jbhmm:

I've been surprised and I'm up to episode 3 or 4 after kingpin basically behads the russian lol :scust:

impressed by how the show has been put together .. ( i think that original ben affleck version through me off from checking it earlier ) :manny:

but can someone please explain to me , how this guy struggles to get through his day while he is a lawyer , ,stumbling ,around with a cane to help him navigate his blindness , and @ night he can walk through the streets , dodge bullets , jump from building to building like its nothing ?
:dwillhuh::dwillhuh::comeon:

that shxt has me :leostare: at the whole series like , yeaaah ok :smugfavre: ( I'm guessing he acts more blind during the day as a front , or is he only partially blind ) sure this show isn't based on facts but I'm struggling on the premise that a blind man can do cart wheels , jump from a roof top . tackle 20 plus russians or ukranians in a garage and get away like its nothing :merchant:

someone please explain it to me like I'm a 2yr old .. ( and don't hit me with the whole , he is blind his other senses are heightened , he only became blind when he was 10 years old , :pachaha: ) :sas2:

i must be missing something here :heh:
