Well, people here keep saying they want more shows about villains.

"Because we own the IP"

Someone once said that Harry Potter is angry and unlikable at the midpoint of the Harry Potter series because he's just recovered enough to realize all the horror that was done to him and feeling powerful enough to be comfortable expressing his anger over that.

About real world Trump Jr looking like Jason Bateman.

Not enough green.

It bothers me that Buddhism has been imported by the aliens of K'un L'un, though. It would be like going to Mars and finding they were Mormons.

PTSD. Danny must've suppressed it while he was in Alienland. Coming back to his home unlocked all those memories.

Learning martial arts isn't cultural appropriation anymore than learning to use a gun is.

The dojo challenge felt like it was straight out of anime like Ranma. "This is your dojo? Ok, I challenge you!!!!!!" And Colleen's "Um, no" is the adult real world response.

Mantis?

American Psycho dude who hasn't started killing people himself yet

Yes, the Trump parallels seem deliberate to me. I'm enjoying them, but I'm getting discomfiting shipping feels about Harold.

Its not like he was using it.

If Ward is the Marvel version of Trump's younger self, this characterization seems apt.

Ward is growing on me. That moment when Danny is detailing the rotten things Ward did to him as a child, Ward *blinks*. And then denies it all. But it feels like he DID remember, he just didn't feel like admitting it, or accepting Danny being alive, so he's rewriting reality to be more like he wants it to be. But

I watched the whole thing but yeah, it assumes you've already decided to sit through the boring parts.

Counterpoint: Daredevil should have had more legal drama because Matt Murdock is hot.

Having ugly hair has not make Danny more likable/interesting. It just makes it harder to look at him for 13 hours.

I haven't finished the tv show but in the comics, K'un L'un is fake Asian, like Marvel's Asgard is fake Norse. They are both aliens.

"mystical and superheroing" = fighting dragons and extradimensional wolves
