I want to give a genuine thank you for the Spoiler Warning (and of course for the excellent review itself). The Daredevil daily reviews would sometimes mention things from later episodes (which I expected a risk of in the comments, but not in the episode reviews themselves) which led me to stop reading them until…

Yes… the other stuff can be handwaved, but the whole last section of her plot in this episode… I don't get it.

Same. I was really confused and actually went back to pause. Strange mistake for a show that has been otherwise so on the ball with everything. (Of course, the fake UI there is full of other funny stuff, like the internet being part of the C:/ drive, so we can safely ignore it.)

I've been loving the AVC coverage of Daredevil, especially since I'm working through the series at a slow pace and it's interesting to see thoughts about each episode as I do. On that note, would it be possible to not have bits like "(we’ll get to that in episode seven)" or "the only shot in the entire season ". I…

I know, but compare the Kingpin with other non-powered opponents of the same era. He was able to do a lot more.

Yep, he and Spidey were pretty evenly matched in his first ASM appearances. He's not just strong and fat, either. The bulk keeps people from knowing upon seeing him how agile he is.

Yep, and Joe Simon was Jewish too. I can't imagine they would ever make heroes who were racists. And again, they were actually of that time period themselves.

Nonsense. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, who created half of these characters, were from the same time and aren't racists.

In the just 90 minutes we saw, they pretty much were, yes. The government was very racist in the 1940s, individuals not necessarily so. I'm certain we'll be seeing the Howling Commandos soon, which I'm incredibly excited for.

Especially because, in that case, his aunt (Sharon Carter) was one of the people who stood up against Hydra in Winter Soldier. It would have been mentioned in the episodes set during the film.

Eh. Stop making strawmen. As an ethnic minority myself I find shoehorned minority characters insulting, especially when their presence is ahistorical. Randomly having half of the SSR assholes be black wouldn't exactly be believable.

The Howling Commandos were diverse because they were organized by Cap. Agent Carter is stuck in the middle of government alphabet soup.

Atwell, not Atwood.

It was a beautiful film, living up very much to the hard sci-fi tradition; definitely not the hackwork that the reviewer seems to have watched.
