If I were to tell you that Keith Shaw’s Avalanche Sharks–despite the poster proclaiming ‘Snow Sharks’–wasn’t a very good movie, you’d probably say something to the effect of ‘Duh, it’s about sharks that ‘swim’ though snow, devouring skiers. What about that scenario screams Academy Award to you?’ And I get that, though the movie doesn’t […]
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure why the Marvel series being produced for Netflix are so successful. After all, they’re working with characters that I wouldn’t exactly call ‘first-stringers.’ Though that’s not by any means to imply that they aren’t beloved to many people, only that they’re plenty of more popular superheroes that have […]
“Daredevil must die.” –Nabu In the final episode of Marvel’s Daredevil’s Second Season, Nobu’s (Peter Shinkoda) endgame is revealed. Every since the first he’s sought the Black Sky. Now we know that the Black Sky is to the Hand a perfect weapon, that will enable them to conquer whomever they choose. So it stands to […]
“He is an asshole but at the end of the day he’s on our side of the war.” –Stick Probably safe to assume that Elektra is not following in Daredevil’s footsteps of as far stopping her murderous ways go (Yes’ she’s sticking her sai in that ninja’s eye). We learn that Stick is not only responsible […]
For awhile, despite my serious love for everything that was unfolding in Daredevil, I was wondering how they were going to manage to embrace the more fantastical aspects of the Marvel Universe. In the world that exists in Marvel Televised Universe, the heroes are much more grounded than they are in its cinematic brethren so […]
Holy Shit! Forgive the language but this episode goes places that are more awesome than I have the capability to describe (that’s not strictly true, though I’m still following Tony Stark’s adage about not being a dick–not a total dick, anyway because who’s a total dick?). Which is cool because that pretty much ensures that there […]
Daredevil not wanting to kill, I get, though problems start when you pair him with people with no such qualms. This means that he oftentimes gets in his or their way, endangering everyone. It happened with Frank Castle, and it happens again this episode, that is till a mysterious figure from his past–by way of the […]
We’re just beyond the half way mark in the Second Season of Marvel’s Daredevil, and the questions are coming fast and furious. What does District Attorney Reyes (Michelle Hurd) know about the Punisher that’s she not only willing to destroy Nelson And Murdock, but put her own reputation on the line for? What does he know, or […]
Elektra KICKS ASS. And what’s particularly interesting is that in the fight with the Yakuza, you see one of the assassins hop on a counter to watch. This is a sign of good writing because what it shows is arrogance on the part of the assassins without anyone having to come out and say it. What’s […]
“There was always this glorious darkness inside of you.” –Elektra Nachios Elektra (Elodie Yung) has re-entered Matt’s life, and he’s not particularly glad to see her (which is understandable considering how they parted. Besides, she also is a bit nuts. It’s an interesting take on the character, in that she doesn’t appear particularly noble–like in the comics–more […]
