    I don't know if he's the originator, really: Death Wish was released around the same time and is practically identical. And that was based on a book from a few years before (though the movie made some changes there.)

    Yeah but he's just hitting them in the lungs, right next to their hearts. If you stick an arrow/bullet/knife/whatever there and it'll make people lose consciousness but in the long run they'll be fine. No seriously! Try it out some time!*

    Also I guess the "being shot in the leg stings a bit but you'll be fine later on" thing is accepted enough movie/tv rules that it's bound to show up. But it's still really annoying given how very, very not true that is. (And if it was, why doesn't Daredevil just carry a 9mm or two around with him? It would save

    I was disappointed with the kill/not kill argument because it seemed to me like there were easily available options for their debate that didn't boil down to that or weren't as simplistic. After all: Daredevil attacks people (or whatever) when they're in the act of doing something wrong, rather than just

    A gun-wielding antagonist who calmly shells out thousands of dollars for
    stolen equipment but won’t stand for child prostitution is something
    new.

    His last name is Jackson. Good grief - the terminator killed how many people before he found Sarah Connor?

    I think it's clear in season 1 that he's not dumb per se - he's making highly advanced technical suits that contain significant armor while still, well, looking like carefully tailored suits. And working with tricky high tech materials and so on. And he has a good sense of what those are and what they can and can't

    I think they spent a lot of that fight moving back and forth and ducking (especially while moving back and forth). That would make it pretty difficult to hit them.

    Something something super advanced senses something. Clearly he'd be able to do that.

    "In all my years on the force I've never seen anything like it.."

    While it's dangerous looking, in this series we eventually learn that the Punisher is actually using non-lethal ich luge bullets.

    I was - I think that part of it was the desire to emphasize how large the Punisher is in comparison to Daredevil (possibly because Bernthal isn't really that much bigger), so he can take more hits and hit back a lot harder. But it really was weird: the Punisher is fine at hand to hand combat in the comics, but not

    He also gives hilariously sketchy advice when it comes to those guns. Those were mostly pump action shotguns, which means that (1) you can really only saw off so much because you need the whole "pump" bit for the shotgun to work and (2) that bit below the barrel is where you keep the bullets. He's basically advising

    It would barely even be a commute given how dense New York is: "I mean, there's a job over here two blocks from your apartment, but that's not actually in Hell's Kitchen anymore so.."

    I also thought "But what happened to the dog!?"

    It does seem like he's managing to do it without hitting anyone, so maybe the idea is that he has enough expertise/control using it that he knows where what he's firing off is going to go? It seems like ricochets would be a serious problem though.

    Given the way Murdock briskly dashes around on sidewalks while sort of half heartedly waving his cane in front of him (or not even at all in the picture above) it's actually a little surprising that Karen Page finds his constant bruises/scrapes/etc. even mildly suspicious. That seems like exactly the kind of behavior

    Hey, you have to have stuff like that if you want to be really classy.
