It's the arc where Frank's old war buddy comes to New York to assassinate the Irish bomber guy with the messed up face. Apparently that character was one of the Irish mafia in season 2 of Daredevil.

What stood out to me was the part where a British SAS soldier was taunting a captured IRA man just before some extrajudicial killing. The gloating from the character seemed rather personal and I remember thinking it felt like I was reading Garth Ennis' revenge fantasy on the Irish.

Maybe intelligence agencies should just stop hiring married men. Blackmailing adulterers seem to have been one of the major tactics for recruiting informants, after all. As soon a guy gets married, he gets transferred to the secretarial pool or something. Though I guess singles would still be vulnerable to honeypots.…

The Canadian government didn't do anything, it's the actor's union in BC blacklisting him.

Barry lured him into an atomic reactor or some shit and blasted him with radiation until he keeled over. They didn't show him in their prison or mention him again so presumably he died right there. As I recall, the Flash gang were oddly jubilant after they'd just killed a man.

Barry also summarily executed Atom Smasher and Sand Demon. Just straight up killed them.

He was a street fighter and might have had trouble adapting to tournament rules. According to Dan Inosanto his favourite opening move was a poke to the eyes, which of course you can't do in UFC or collegiate wrestling.

I just looked up her current whereabouts and turns out she hosts a radio show in Toronto. Makes me wonder where Brucie would have ended up if he'd survived. I mean, he'd be 75 by now.

Oh yeah, that part was also glossed over on that Biography episode, they were costars "rehearsing lines".

Captain America's historical background was specifically chosen to be as progressive as possible, making his values correspond to those of contemporary audiences:

Wait, the part about him dying at his mistress' place is in dispute? I thought that was fairly self-evident.

I only saw the first one, and as I recall the old man makeup looks silly today (old man impersonation technology having greatly advanced in the interim), but otherwise it was a pretty solid movie. It changed a bit of stuff from the comic and took stuff from like 2 or 3 different story lines, but I liked it overall.

Wasn't Bruce Lee just unknowingly allergic to the medication he'd taken? Or so the Bruce Lee documentary narrated by Peter Graves said.

You keep ignoring the racial aspect to the story. You can keep pretending that white saviours aren't a thing in Hollywood depictions of minorities or that this isn't an example of that cliche. You would, however, be wrong.

Yes, failure is a variation on the cliche. Being the mighty whitey doesn't mean always succeeding.

It was illegal for gay Americans of all skin colours on a federal level until last year.

They kind of foregrounded the BDSM aspect with the title of the previous episode, Kinbaku, which is a Japanese style of bondage. You can see it used to tie up Roscoe Sweeney. There's some obvious things to be said about how that episode was about constraints and the eroticization of violence, but it's also…

I wonder if they thought they were in the Yakuza and were surprised at the whole bullet in the brain thing.

It was also a propagation of the cliche of the mighty whitey rescuing the minority character - whose non-white foreignness was especially emphasized with the broken English and strong Hispanic accent, by the way. Possibly the religiousness and Catholicism was also emphasized, I can't quite remember. Perhaps it's…

You mean it's illegal for white Americans to marry each other?
