Foggy: All right, I'm just gonna say this once and we can move on. You don't necessarily show the best judgment when beautiful women are involved. Matt: How would I even know if she's a beautiful woman? Foggy: I don't know. It's kinda spooky, actually. But if there's a stunning woman with questionable character in the room, Matt Murdock's gonna find her and Foggy Nelson is gonna suffer.
I'm stoned 99.9% of the time, so I don't doubt you. lol I just really wanted a Benson & Moorhead double feature on Tuesday.
Caught up on episode 7. Idk if I like that they killed Muse already. It would have been interesting to see him have more therapy sessions and more scenes without his mask. Overall the episode was pretty good though
A complaint I'm seeing that tickles me is the argument that there should have been more episodes to fill in more blanks, because I think "Oh, how about 13? 13's a good number."
Yeah I straight up have no idea what the fuck I'm actually talking about now that you mention it. I think I read something totally different in my head and just got annoyed about something else. lol
I think my point, that really has nothing to do with you said, is that people ask for more episodes, but then we get an episode like 5 and people say it sucks. So I'm really just annoyed we can't have both. More episodes to fill in blanks, but give us some one-shots still. Some bottle episodes. So the problem exists and I'm annoyed about it, but what you said has nothing to do with it. lol Also to be fair about the episode thing, wasn't season 1 supposed to technically be 18 episodes but split? I could imagine some of the storylines suffered from the overhaul and telling this story in one season. But I think season 2 will feel more fleshed out now that they got the overhaul out of the way, they have new directors to guide the project, and they don't have to fuse two versions of a season. Edit: I thought Benson & Moorhead became the showrunners, so corrected myself there.
I get it, and I think an understated benefit of the Netflix format is that they had time to go into unexpected detours and flesh out side characters and explore multiple sides of an issue instead of breezing on to the next plot point. We didn't even see Kingpin until the end of episode 3 of Daredevil. We didn't see Kilgrave face to face until the end of Jessica Jones episode 4. We were able to switch arcs midway through Luke Cage S1 and DDS2. Having a healthy amount of episodes allows for you to spin things out like that and play around with format. It's actually the same way I feel about albums; albums with more tracks have more room to experiment and try different things without losing cohesion. It's like that with anything, I think.
I might have misunderstood something? I was responding to your comment about people wanting more episodes but saying episode 5 sucked.
Anyways, I think my frustration with this season is that it feels like they’re giving us another origin story when we don’t need one. I’d rather have just seen him be Daredevil for the season than strip it away and have him journey back to it
There are way too many seasons where it takes forever for Matt to suit up lol I am very tired of that Season 2 is literally the only outlier. Even The Defenders took a few episodes iirc
