The head of the Irish mafia got to display a wide variety of emotions - we saw the love he had for his brother, his violent sensibility, and his actions over his brother's death.

That's all you got? A scene where he feels bad about an Asian being dead because of his no-kill rule? (He kills Nobu, which I don't have a problem with, because it was self-defence. But you brought the no-kill thing up yourself, man)

Wow, you just summed up a lot of my feelings about this. (even if it's from a different piece)

Those white bikers were the main villains of the season and also the connection between the first and the second and also the group of villains that tie Daredevil and a bunch of other Marvel shows together? I can't believe I missed that!

Aren't the tv shows supposed to improve on the source material if they can? He gets to complain if he is disappointed, especially considering the time gap between the show and when the comics were written (and their audience)

Aside from the Yellow Peril narrative, how lazy did this show get? Everything is vague, throw in a few good fight scenes and then some exaggerated and thin plot connections and cliched character arcs. Why is this getting so much love?

When there is no proper time given to expand on their history, and when there is no depth given to this East Asian (at least in looks) Death Cult, whereas every other (white) villain gets proper flashbacks, backstory, individual characterisation and depth is invoking a certain landmine of historical stereotyping,…

Oh god, bring on the people getting super angry and defensive over this very valid critic. On the last review, I had one guy telling me that I was getting worked up over something "unimportant" and "attacking" him because I mentioned how Daredevil gave all its villains depth except for the Asian ones. Apparently, I…

Many of the Marvel comics are knee deep in orientalist stereotypes. And definitions progress, Einstein. Orientalism isn't only limited to what Said defined it as, meanings of build up and progress.

*sigh* You still don't get it. ALL THE VILLAINS EXCEPT THE ASIAN ONES HAVE GOTTEN CHARACTERISATION, DEPTH AND BACKGROUND, EVEN THE SMALL VILLAINS. THIS PERPETUATES THE YELLOW PERIL NARRATIVE. THEY SHOULD FIX IT.

The comics are orientalist too..they had a chance to give The Hand some background and depth instead of telling us what it is, which is an East Asian Death Cult. It has the Yellow Fever narrative written all over it. I'm not "attacking" the show - wishing for an adaptation to correct some of the more outdated…

It's just that they don't get any background or depth like Wilson Fisk or the Russians did, or even that Irish dude (very psychotically and violently) mourning his brother. The Hand and all that is just vague and we're supposed to swallow it without even asking for any depth or characterisation? Without those it reeks…

So asking Marvel to not be so crassly orientalist is PC "idealism"? Wtf is that. It's sad that a 55 year old person cannot handle slight criticism of racially insensitive content in their favorite show without turning into a whiny brat.

Cece calling Sam "legs" made me guffaw. I don't think I appreciated her in the early runs of the show but I really love her now. She's hilarious but in a very understated way. I wish there were more Cece-Winston plots though!

THEY WILL RESURRECT HIM TELENOVELA STYLE DAMNIT

I've only read a few pieces Nussbaum wrote, but even those seem way more intelligent and perceptive than most things Ebert wrote. I honestly don't get why he is lionised so much, other than popularising the critic - he isn't very good (the man thought Crash and Slumdog Millionaire were masterpieces and didn't really…

I don't think being a music or a film nerd or a NYU grad who lived in Japan makes you a hipster. I think a hipster, at least these days, is pretty much someone who picks up on trends and completely makes over themselves to reflect what is considered "cool" - not out of an actual appreciation but simply for wanting to…

So? They get to bitch about Jessa with each other if they want to. Have you never cheered anyone up after they had their heart broken? You talk shit about the other person to make them feel better, it's been happening since ages.

Adam obviously hasn't dealt with his feelings after the Hannah rejection…they alluded to it a little in the previous episodes, with his bizzarely extra-hostile "Oh you know Hannah would've done the same thing, she's so selfish and narcisisstic, she wouldn't have cared" thing that he said a few times. And it kin of…

Ugh, Jessa sneaked around and lied to Hannah for months and basically picked Adam over Hannah. Hannah gets to be angry about it.
