Even when they kick ass themselves.

Not just a producer. He has a creator credit on AoS, and he wrote (with J-Mo) and directed the Pilot.

Joss has confirmed this.

That might work if he weren't a canonically white character whose story arc was decided before he was cast with a black actor.

I believe that the first choice was reflective of Fisk's lack of true cultural refinement (he doesn't even choose his own wine, it makes sense that his taste in classical music would be fairly juvenile), and the second was genius for reasons (as @avclub-3e00a61c5a71e91292bff03321bc8255:disqus said three days ago: "I…

I'm a self-professed SJW and I think the reviewer goes far overboard with criticisms about the portrayal of women in this show, to the point that they overshadow many of the reviews and lead to the exclusion of discussion of other important themes, not to mention that I think much of it is unjustified.

Do you have the same allergy to "het" or "hetero" as shorthand?

In 20 years, a few dozen. It's certainly not a daily occurrence, but it still happens too much. I live in the South, so there are lots of guns, and lots of free-range pets.

I'm American and have friends with pretty much the exact accent he used. He certainly didn't sound like a New Yorker, but everyone says I don't sound like a Tennessean, and I've never lived anywhere else. Anyway. No complaints on the accent. I thought he did a great job.

The industry expectation at this point (which is all speculation by people who supposedly understand all of this stuff - although with the youth of this format, I'm not sure what credentials are even applicable) is LC1 in the first half of 2016, IF1 in the second half (possibly as late as January 2017), and Defenders…

Luke Cage is in pre-production now, with an unspecified 2016 date. Do you have a compelling reason to think DD2 will air before LC1?

Actually, he left after writing the second episode, but before the show was even cast. He had nothing to do with production values at any point in the series.

We were full-contact sparring, so he certainly didn't just set me up for it, but he also wasn't legit trying to kill me. Again, I wasn't arguing the scene. Just saying that the size disparity isn't the sort of absolute, insurmountable advantage that some people think it is. I freely acknowledge that being slight and…

I haven't seen the scene in question, but at that age and 100 pounds, I was able to throw my 180 pound step-father across the room with a year or so of hapkido classes.

I feel ya. White, disabled, bi woman here.

For the record, Ben's death came down from Marvel, to the shock of the showrunner. It certainly wasn't a writer's room idea.

And I'm a total Niner. I'm just going to go weep in a corner now.

There's no excuse for people to be unprepared after the first episode though… I mean, Fisk tried to have Karen killed twice in one day.

LOL. I wasn't even thinking of the Vorta. Oy.

What a forlorn image that was. I'm pretty sure a balloon is the absolute last "get well soon" gift on a long list of things that I might think of to give my half-dead blind friend. If we're being utterly conventional, flowers and stuffed animals are pretty obvious choices…
