You're making a case that stereotypes can be fine, not that ninjas aren't an Asian stereotype. Which I agree with. But the basic character concept 'blind Asian lawyer ninja' is still a stereotype.

Thats a great turn of phrase. "The story understands" My greatest issues with villain stories are when I feel the story is trying to portray the villain as cool.
I think its a case by case basis. To use the previous example, Japan the nation doesn't need defending. They are a former empire that was known for subjugating native peoples, war crimes against non-Japanese peoples, and still has rampant prejudice against women and foreigners embedded in law.

People telling me she's his love interest make me go D:
Didn't ABC have a tv series about a kid who was kidnapped by a paedophile and shows up years later? And it turns out he's an imposter?

Daredevil would've been great with more legal drama in season 2!
Villain: "Oh crap, he's trying to ACTUALLY help him!"
