That’s not how I remember it.

Yeah, not so much. The worst of what the Hand does happens in the middle of the season and she’s still putting her foot down long after that.

It’s not even that Rashomon-y since the Senator’s flashback is literally the only one that’s implied to be inaccurate. So it’s less ‘different versions of the event’ and more ‘exactly what happened plus one guy who’s lying to make himself look good.’

Claire is not at all consistent in her views. In Iron Fist she won’t let Danny and Colleen kill anyone, but in The Defenders she insists that they (including the very anti-murder Matt, Luke, and Jessica) kill everyone.

I hate that Cayden James’ name is Cayden, but what I hate even more is that they cast the 63-year-old Michael Emerson to play him.

But Frank also acted as a criminal back in Afghanistan. So did Gunner. They knew what they were doing seemed shady, but they had their orders and as far as they knew it was a government sanctioned op, so they carried them out.

No way in hell would Frank understand a Doctor Who reference, let alone make one himself by way of a response.

Spoilers for a few episodes from now:

So my thought around this time in the season was why the laughably corrupt Colonel Schoonover would have been Frank’s only character witness back in Daredevil when his two best friends are both still alive and living in NYC.

DC lets whatever director has a half-assed idea about “deconstructing” the source material (which they haven’t bothered to understand in the first place) do essentially anything they want.

Do you think anyone’s going to notice that Pete Castiglione looks an awful lot like Frank Castle, that guy who was all over the news after being tried for dodecatuple homicide six blocks away?

DEA Agent #1: “So... the entire cartel is dead?”

A comedy could absolutely make those points. But a movie making those points doesn’t have to be a comedy. And Get Out really isn’t a comedy.

“Humor, irony, exaggeration, OR ridicule.” Meaning any of those four.

I agree that, broadly speaking, calling something a comedy doesn’t trivialize it, but in this case I get the point.

A big part of that is that it’s a tremendously difficult show to explain.

When you reach the end of Defenders my comment will make more sense and there’s a real chance Claire will make you even angrier. (Hint: she strongly believes that killing is always wrong... until the main characters need to kill people in order for the plot to resolve itself.)

Glad there’s no Claire. If she was in it, she’d just spend the first 10 episodes begrudgingly patching up Frank’s wounds while making speeches to the camera about how killing is wrong. Then at the 3/4 mark when Frank suddenly has a moral crisis, she’d spend the next two episodes begrudgingly patching up his wounds

Oh, I get that! The overall point came across. But no matter the reason, playing poindexter in a room full of disinterested high school students is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

For real, though. How can she possibly act smug over knowing who GEORGE WASHINGTON was?
