I'm holding out hope for a whole squad of Brazilian capoeira Hand guys that the leads will just shrug at. Just "Huh, sure. More Hand I guess."

I'm surprised they didn't kill off Method Man and Dapper Dan. Guess they gotta save something for season 2.

I wonder if they'll have Lynn Michaels and Rachel Cole-Alves in the first season or save them for the second? There's not a lot of good female roles for Punisher stories, and they all seem to just be Girl Punisher.

In the rules for the Netflix Marvel drinking game at my house, we finish our drink when a grizzled black man dies. I feel like ADA Tower, Sgt. Mahoney, and both of Misty Knight's bosses have to be hiding in a safe room somewhere. Oh and Bobby Fish. God help the showrunners if they kill off Bobby Fish for my wrath

You could tell they tried to course correct because they gave Frank the "romantic comedy gay best friend" dialogue in the diner scene.

No way, Foggy/Marci is legitimately great. Two basically likeable characters having a moderately believable sidepiece style relationship. I'm all for both of them.

Karen may put a lot of names on the other side of her slash, but make no mistake, in her own mind it's actually Karen/Unnecessary Danger.

I think the weirdest thing is that if they had just introduced him in Defenders he could way more easily be what he should be, which is a wisecracking life-loving comic relief character, exactly what the dour-ass Defenders needed. But since he has to star in 13 episodes of Arrowverse level dad drama, they went ahead

The dude made it clear the vote was done in a secret session. I doubt that vote would hold up in court.

If you're disappointed by that, you're gonna love how Harold Meachum spends the rest of this show with 10 visible fingers. And that's not a spoiler alert, it's more like they just didn't care that he cut it off. It's not like it's explained.

My hope is it's a long game, and the whole story is about him actually crashing his whole business like a big idiot.

In the comics, once he gets the company, he runs it into the ground because he's a bad business person. It's practically a parody of Green Arrow, with a clear and good message, which is "Family legacy is a stupid way to run a business." One hopes that this show will eventually make that same connection, and stop

People keep saying that but the whole show is rooted in blaxploitation, it's just that everyone only really remembers the cheesy aspects of the genre. The music stings, the offhand references to black culture, the plot revolving around dirty money and dirtier cops, the whole goddamn show is blaxploitation-infused.

"Right after I told her about it she said she had to go poke a beehive, see how much of her hand she can fit in a pitbull's mouth, and play a few games of Russian Roulette. Real stable, that one."

Well yeah, Daredevil beat up her good henchmen.

I heard it was going to be all found footage in the next one, so a lot of footage of GOPRO POWER RANGERS.

You know what? It's not 3-5 of the members standing shoulder to shoulder, looking at something offscreen that's a few feet taller than them. That's literally the only thing I've associated with this movie til now. So this is something new at least. Plus hey, no Flash in ludicrously overcomplicated power ranger

There's a Kimmy Schmidt article on AVC that features the phrase "young, poor, hot dog masseuse" which could only be made simultaneously more accurate and less funny with the addition of an oxford comma.

Stellamaniacs!
(They wear ties and slacks!)

Three comedians except June lost interest long ago. Which is a good thing, since her recent participation is so routine it's basically a bit. You can set your watch to her having forgotten most of the movie, not especially wanting to talk about it because she found it gross, thinking everyone in the movie looked
