    I think shakey-cam and quick cuts are going to go out of style pretty quickly now. I call this the John Wick Effect.

    I liked Luke Cage in it. I actually liked him better in JJ than in his own series.

    I got told I was exhibiting "White Privilege" by a poster on here for saying that someone's race doesn't matter to me! :/ They didn't bother to ask my ethnicity, either. (Not that it matters to whether what I say is supportable or not, but still a Hell of an assumption to just presume whoever you're talking to online

    I just got my stats from Wikipedia. Am happy to accept corrections if it's wrong. I will note though, that only in the USA are Spanish people not considered "White" And Spain is in Europe. So probably we are using the same figures but "hispanic" is just an arbitrary subset of White to me. I'm pretty sure a lot of

    Totally agree. Tangent, but there is a comic character whose power is rapping. Or there ought to be. Etrigan the Demon. I don't really care who plays him they should totally get a talented rap artist. Fuck the faux-Chaucer rhyming couplets - make him a rapper. It woud be great.

    Good point. I've gotten sucked into the same thing I'm complaining about. It's difficult not to start using the same terms others use on a topic when you debate on that topic with them. I'll start being more specific from here on. Thank you.

    Yes. I like the contrast between DD's brutal style and Danny's Can't Touch This. That's how it should be and is the right decision. But one place the ball has been dropped is when the actor playing Matt Murdoch takes a beating, you can really feel it. The poor guy looks fucking exhausted. Whereas in those episodes

    Yes. I've just finished episode 8 and so this will contrast oddly with my other comments in this thread in which I say I'm happy with how graceful and fluid the fighting is. That was based on my desire to see his fighting style be different to Daredevil's and thematically appropriate to kung-fu master (which it is)

    I meant why put it in the Himalayas at all.

    Jessica Jones was the best in many ways. The atmosphere, the character and the acting - all great. But I don't feel the ingredients came together as well as they did in Daredevil and there was too long a gap between courses.

    Well, firstly let me reject the slight implication I picked up in your post that I see myself represented everywhere and am failing to relate to people who don't. I decline to make any arguments based on who I am so I will just say that I'd prefer to not make this personal and leave it at that. Sorry to lead with

    For example, how do you think Chinese, Japanese, or Korean Americans
    would feel about your comment that "Americans always refer…".

    That's because they're not allowed to join in, though.

    I definitely don't think that's how he meant it. He says "you should teach kung-fu" and I think he meant what he said. I've studied both karate and kung-fu so I was bracing myself for some my martial art beats your martial art stuff themes when he said that. But I'm happy to see Colleen is pretty darn good and they

    I studied martial arts (a variety) for many years as well and I genuinely don't feel insulted. I thought the fighting in the opening episode was beautiful to watch. Graceful and quick. Each their own, I guess. In all honesty, realistic fighting seldom looks as good as fake fighting.

    That part I'll concede. He was fantastic in the role and compelling as Hell to watch.

    Eh, he's a villain to me. Unless it's reported to me as absolutely staggering in its brilliance, it's one show I'm very unlikely to watch. Daredevil already pushed the limits of what I'm willing to accept as a hero with his torture scene. I very nearly stopped watching with that episode as I found myself pretty

    Great minds! I just made the same comment before I saw yours. But here is an idea: Release two movies simultaneously. The movies would be:
    Doom: The Fantastic Four
    and
    The Fantastic Four: Doom

    There is one Marvel property I think they should do where a Villain is the lead. And that is Doom.

    The problem with the Ghostbusters debacle was that when it was announced you got an initial backlash from some very unpleasant people. So much more well-meaning people got into an entrenched battle with those people. And then an enormous second wave of people appeared over the hill when the intial trailers aired who
