Very sad I binged all of the series in like 3 days. I wish there was more to see but we probably won't get anymore daredevil until the defenders is finished

Welp, that's how you do Punisher.  Man was this season BRUTAL.  No way that's a PG-13 rating in theaters.  Straight up hard R rating imo.  Loved it.

 

Yeah, Punisher shoots the Irish dude square in the face with a shotgun and they show the whole thing. That's how you earn a R rating.

Drew Goddard is a fuging genius.

Claire is gonna be in a lot of episodes of Luke Cage so i'm thinking it must take place soon after Daredevil.

Does anyone else think Elektra looked and sounded a lot like Nyssa Al Ghul from arrow?

There is a lot of parallels between characters on both shows IMO. At least DD and Arrows first season.

Plus a league of ninjas who can bring people back from the dead....

Binged watched season 1 and 2 over the last week.  Was never a fan of the DD comics but watched it after being badgered to do so by a couple of folks who have opinions I respect.

Despite the fact that Jon Bernthal is hands down the best Punisher that's ever been committed to film/video, and I love me some Punisher, Ill never watch another episode. 

Its not that the acting is bad or that the dialog isn't reasonably well constructed or even that I find the character of Matt to be a pretty detestable human being, but my big beef with is it is that its not "internally consistent". 

In one episode DD knows not only where the dumpster is exactly enough that he can jump on it but from there he can scale a four story alley via fire escapes and air conditioners parkour style; and then at a full run, navigate building tops across blocks and blocks to follow a car that he can hear the music playing in.  Okay, I will accept the idea that he has all of these heightened senses that let him see all of these objects.

Then why couldn't he use those same senses on the ninjas that were kicking his ass?  According to the story it was because they were not using their swords...  WTF?

For regularly "senses" objects that don't have heartbeats (a technique we are repeatedly told he uses to know where people are or what they're feeling) but we are supposed to believe that a major plot point turns on Stick reminding him to use this skill that's second nature to him?

If the writers are just going to make up the rules as they go to fit a plot point they want then Im not the target audience.  Its a real shame too since there are some quality actors and its pretty well executed.

You do make a quality point.

But honestly, if you can accept the basic premise of a blind man in a red costume regularly beating criminals to a bloody pulp in his spare time, why nitpick over that? I think it's easy to sometimes get caught up in the little things, but overall it's a quality show no doubt.

These ninjas have trained themselves to hide their heartbeat. DD normally tracks people through that. In one episode Elektra tells him to track their swords because they aren't using their heartbeats. Then later in the season they stop using their swords because they know DD is tracking them through that so Stick tells him to track them in the rare times they have to breathe. Seems pretty consistent to me. Idk why people who know they are watching a tv show which is inherently fake get turned off by shows because "they aren't real enough" that's more of a problem with the viewer and unreal expectations than a show. 

 

Show was great. My advice would be to lighten up on your expectations and enjoy the quality show for what it is.

I've always wondered if a ninja has been killed on the job because he got distracted singing Ninja Rap? Since that's the only song about ninjas it has to be their theme song.
