Well, in any superhero-esque sort of thing, the question, "Why doesn't X just kill Y?" needs to be addressed one way or another. I thought the show gave a very good answer to that question in JJ, while at the same time showing that Jessica was being wrong-headed in that approach.

That's because you've never before had subprime mortgage loans explained to you my Margot Robbie in a bubblebath.

Go full-tilt with the non-apology apology:

I could be off on this one, but it might be a reference to Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Brazilian inventor who apparently beat the Wright Brothers in flying a fixed-wing airplane by several weeks. But he never gets "First In Flight" credit outside of Brazil.

I know that line is a go-to for Sorkin mockery, but it actually works in-episode better than most people think.

Fully equipped, off-the-books interrogation chambers are the new ManCave.

It's been a bit since I've seen it, but isn't Coat Guy saying some stuff about making it All About Me when Jessica tells him off?

"Oh, damn, no one's shown up. Look like it's up to me to stop Galactus."
"Aren't you a villain?"
"Well, yeah, but I don't want the Earth eaten."

NationBirthers?

He upvotes his own comments? Ew.

Well, this season Green Arrow hasn't been really capturing anyone. He's mainly dealt with Dahrk's ghosts, who suicide themselves on defeat as a matter of policy.

Though there's that one episode of DD that DOES begin at the end of the episode and then flashes back…

His whole look had a Discount Chris Evans thing going on— something I thought odd from his first introduction— but given that he becomes Nuke, it makes perfect sense.

I think that's spot on— the Hogarth Divorce Drama always felt out-of-sync with everything else, and mostly carries the plot burden of setting up what happens here… and once it's done doing that, it's cast aside.

Well, it can be that both the parents' reason for doing the experiment were legitimate, while the experiments themselves were hella shady. In the context of the MCU, it probably involved some off-the-books, using-Kree-DNA work that was entwined with working with people who had far less noble intentions.

But, see, that is the point— it's very much an intentional statement of White Male Privilege (and I'm saying this as a straight, white, right-handed heterosexual man). His victimhood is incredibly minor in comparison to everyone else's, but he considers himself to be just as much a victim as the guy who's being sued…

But it is true— everyone else there was abused, tortured, their lives ruined—- and he lost an easily replaceable status symbol. And he's the only white male in the group….

It's more Interesting Coincidence, since they come from separate sources… but it is, at least, an Interesting Coincidence.

Even in victimhood, he's full-on White Male Privilege.

I'm not so sure. I'm reminded about how Dollhouse muddled about with a five job-of-the-week episodes before really moving with it's plot…
