The Japanese fans and creators are unaware of the shitty state of Asian representation in US media. As they should be, because why should they be expected to obsess over how Americans are being shitty to each other?

And as the Law of Inverse Ninjas shows, Nobu was far scarier when he was the only ninja on the show.

I liked Caroline's sarcastic caption to Karen's article:

Frankly, I suspect they specifically included her as a fig leaf to show that they weren't just resurrecting anti-Japanese depictions from the 80's.

Daredevil's real world ideological counterpart in season 1 was Jane Jacobs, whereas Kingpin's was Robert Moses. Their city planner philosophies were essentially walkable city versus developer's paradise. Going by Jane Jacobs' real world trajectory, then, Daredevil will get sick of New York's shit and move to Toronto…

Season 1 was essentially superhero Jane Jacobs fighting supervillain Robert Moses for the future of New York. Since Kingpin is almost definitely going to be back in season 3, then going by history Daredevil will get sick of his endless fight in the Big Apple and move to Toronto to become a respected author and…

I dunno, just because they claimed the people were discontent doesn't mean it was so. I was half expecting an uprising that would fizzle out when they realized it was only the aristocrats who cared what was up in the palace.

Hang on, are you theorizing that there was an offscreen orgy involving the Sand Snakes, their mom, and the entire royal barracks?

I expect Roose dangled legitimate son status before Ramsay for all of the kid's life. He probably thought Ramsay was still too grateful to do anything, or perhaps too stupidly cruel to recognize when the fix is in.

That was the implication, yes.

I like the idea that in her head Brienne is actually quoting the Simpsons to herself in every one of her scenes.

There's Cloak and Dagger. I forget where it's being developed, some family channel or something that I've never heard of. Though I cut the cord like 10 years ago so I'm not au courant with the broadcast TV landscape.

Ever watch the anime Steins;Gate? The plot involves John Titor being an actual time traveler. It gets pretty out there with parallel timelines and potential futures and whatnot.

That's a classic of Canadian cinema made as part of an early 80's tax shelter scheme that you're denigrating!

But people like astronauts and werewolves. Combining them is just smart business! Right now Marvel is laughing all the way to the bank.

Have you seen US newspaper articles from 100 years ago? Forget white, going by the language used Slavs were barely human. I think they might have been all lumped in together with Jews and Gypsies as well.

Weeell, it started out as a completely straightforward term used for political enemies during the Cultural Revolution. Then it became a lefty in-joke which compared the attitudes of humourless and overserious leftists to the hysterical excesses of 60s - 70s China.

Yeah it's weird that such a divisive argument should be mostly taking place in literal silence. An illiterate observer of modern society probably wouldn't even realize that ugly and rancorous debates would be taking place round-the-clock in perfect invisibility.

Maybe Havok is Cyclop's dad now. That would be kind of messed up, but amusingly so if they really try to explain it.

Elektra had a similar look in the comics, but I like how it was adapted for Daredevil. If only Psylocke's costumers had been as free in their interpretation of her clothing.
