Daredevil

Wow. So I watched Daredevil season 2 and. Wow. I have some mixed feelings, but overall they’re positive. I think. It was difficult to watch Matt and Foggy’s relationship degrade, and even harder to watch Matt and Karen’s newly formed relationship get destroyed. I just want everyone to be happy but, if it means interesting developments will happen next season, it’s okay. The plot twists were all pretty good, the only plot twist I saw coming was  in that last scene in the finale. That was just too predictable. All the others seemed pretty surprising. The imagery was beautiful, and all the renaissance painting references were so cool, I love easter eggs like that. I felt, though that, at times, too many plots and subplots were going on at once. Certain aspects got convoluted and lost, so they lost their impacts.
Dan Seitz wonders if season 2 is hiding another villain. “Comics readers are probably already giddy, but for the non-comics fans among you, when Elektra and Bullseye square off in the original comic, he kills her with, you guessed it, a playing card. It was what cemented Bullseye as not just another gimmick villain, but a genuine monster. He also has a long and nasty history with the Punisher, since Bullseye works primarily as a mob hitman. Rumors have gone around for a while that Bullseye would turn up this season, however they remained unconfirmed and it seemed the Punisher was going to be the primary foe Daredevil would face. But if Elektra turns up, and she’s committing assassinations, don’t expect Bullseye to be very far behind.”

Whatever happens, I am super excited for season 2.
