I'm a woman, and I never knew it was a thing.
Maybe it's because I tend to naturally smile a lot whether I'm happy or not (and I'm not a lot of the time).

I thought I was the only way that felt that way when these long dragged out goodbyes happen!

Yeah, I don't normally get fussed about stuff like this, but Jessica Jones without saying the word "Fuck" every other sentence just feels wrong.

Is it the same casting director? Seems like they're good at finding on screen chemistry between actors.

If you don't post it, I will.

Oh yeah that too, but I meant that the actor is very charming on top of that.

Yeah, I've already seen the episode so I don't know if it gives anything away, but I think it could because know you'll be expecting something fucked up to happen in those scenes. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

The final scene caught me totally off guard even though I've read Alias and should know what to expect from Killgrave.
Also, Mike Colter as Luke Cage seems to have a charm his comic counterpart lacks. "Swoonworthy" indeed.

Isn't that a spoiler?

I understand why it's done, but I wish people wouldn't view this under the lens of a "female-led comic book tv show" and just approach it as a "comic book tv show". Is it just me that gets really irritated by it?

Did you read the whole Original Sin Daredevil tie in? I don't want to spoil, but it was clarified that Jack never hit or was abusive to Maggie or Matt, but (SPOILER)…

Oh god some of the bad reviews were really cringe-y - it was really obvious that the reviewers had just skimmed the book, and the commenters had to explain what actually happened.

Yep. I'm pretty sure one of the seasons (4?) got every possible score from A to F.

I hated Joanna Newsom for a while and couldn't enjoy her music too.
I got into her when I tried reading her lyrics while listening to the songs, and now she's one of my all time absolute favourite artists.
I totally understand not liking her - I feel like I SHOULD find her annoying, but somehow she can get away with it

Yeah, I do have other lyrics I really like, but none I like the same way I do Joanna Newsom's. They're beautiful on the surface but there are also so many layers to them; I love reading other people's analysis of them too.

Yeah that was such a bizarre thing to complain about. Her reaction was a completely normal, human reaction, I don't understand what he expected her to do.
I actually think they handled Karen really well in Daredevil - she had her own storyline separate from Matt based on her own choices, which is a rarity in these

I am super late commenting on this but I'm a huge fan of Tokyo Ghoul.
It improves a lot, especially art wise and there are some big shake ups around volume 6/7 that's very rare to see in manga and the series final Volume 14 arc is probably my favourite manga volume ever.

I was actually excited for Man of Steel before it came out while half the internet was going "not my superman!" I don't have a problem with that either. But like you said, Man of Steel botched it, and while I don't hate everything about this trailer it just all seems so… well up its own ass.

Like I said somewhere else here, I'm not against the "serious" take,
It seems to be trying too hard to come off as "serious", while not actually having any substance. Like the bad 90's comics kind of dark and gritty. Okay, I'm judging the trailer too much by how much I hated Man of Steel, but I don't think it's given

I'm not even against an "alternate" take on superman, Man of Steel was just really bad and not even in an entertaining way (like, say Batman and Robin), just boring and pretentious.
