They were gonna retcon all the Netflix stuff and just pick and choose canon. Then the behind the scenes stuff changed, and because of the hype about Cox and D'Onafrio coming back, they retooled to make the Netflix shows all canon.

i'm really enjoying the show so far, some of it is a bit shaky but it was in the originals too. I fucking LOVED seeing Frank back and the trial of White Tiger did not go at all like I thought. first I thought the snitch would exonerate him, then he was seemingly going to get a guilty verdict.
i like how matt tells him point blank he can never go out and be a vigilante again and the fucker completely ignores that advice and dies his first night. I think thats the core of the show, these guys who know they shouldn't be vigilantes but can't help themselves. very Batman-esque I guess. The build up of Matt trying so hard to avoid it but slipping slowly is great.
no clue who blood guy is or who actually killed white tiger, clearly it wasn't the dirty cop since his heartbeat was normal and matt obviously picked up on that. Fisk staying scary, I wonder if his bloody knuckles are against adam or if he is having extra curricular criminal activities. Interesting hint he told Vanessa about chaos before rebuilding and he has bigger goals, but is keeping them from her. President Fisk seems a bit too corny, so I wonder what his long term goals are.
i like matt's new hottie love squeeze way more than Karen. and goddamn that cutie latvian ADA is also wanting some daredevil dick

Yeah that scene is the best one so far of the season. Looking forward to more from that conversation.

The cast is great. The pacing is slow. It's shot a little on the dark side (like I want to turn the brightness on my TV up).
I'm not hating it, but they really need to tighten up the show and move it along. 4 weeks of episodes and I am not excited to see the next one. They probably should have dropped all the episodes at once because I can guarantee viewership is going to drop off as viewers start to not give a shit about the show. If they were all there at once, I'd be more likely to suffer through even if something is sub-par.
GOT in it's prime had people stoked, waiting for the next episode. What is going on in this show that heightens my anticipation? Nothing. Legit Nothing.
PS- what was the purpose of getting the black dude 10 days in jail? Was that woke or anti-woke? What did that add to the season or the character of Matt? He's such a good dude? That cops loves Cracker Jacks/cheetos/etc? Or just useless and dumb and tagged on to stretch the season?
PS: Death penalty would have been better...

Seriously? White Tiger showing up and getting headshotted 2 seconds later was unintentionally hilarious. His entire vigilante career was based around never running into someone with a gun? It was completely retarded.
Then you have Kingpin, who's now a massive cuck. Vanessa soaking through her panties talking about about her lover in front of Fisk, who went to prison in order to protect her and she's acting like he just bailed on her for no reason, and he's just sitting there sheepishly. Kingpin should never put up with any of that shit.
Bernthal is great as The Punisher, no complaints there so far.
But Murdock being conflicted over being Daredevil was interesting.. THE FIRST FUCKING TIME. This is the third god damn time in a show that's on its 4th season.

yeah i agree its not amazing stuff, and so much of the show requires you have watched the original - you won't have a fucking clue about the Punisher stuff unless you did - but as you said they are rehashing old ground a lot. Killing Foggy off episode 1 was a mistake imo, the new characters aren't as compelling as Foggy so missing him as Matt's "good side" is a huge hole in the show, especially since we've gotten zero daredevil in 3 episodes.
I don't think Vanessa cheated on him while he was in prison, its something to do with the Echo show (i didn't watch) where she shot him in the head or something and he had to ??? get surgery ??? or something, i dunno i thought she killed him in that show but like i said i didn't watch so no clue. I'm pretty sure nobody watched it so pretty much everyone is confused as to what the fuck is going on with Vanessa and Fisk, other than he didn't tell her fuck all for a year I guess and she fucked Adam the Cage Man cuz he has nice hands
that was some cold funny shit though, like you could see her daydreaming about the dicking adam gave her when she started talking about his hands, lololol

No chance I'm watching Echo to find out the specifics, but in season 3 they basically had an agreement that Fisk would go away to prison forever and not reveal who Daredevil was, and Vanessa would stay safe.
But then he leaves for a year? for some other reason and now he's the asshole who should expect his wife to be getting plowed the whole time. It's such a character assassination of Kingpin who went from having a soft spot for her, to letting her get banged by other guys and then HE gets lectured for it. Both her and Adam should be dead as fucking friend chicken

If you recall back to the Netflix show, Kingpin tried to soften himself or make himself overly sensitive thinking Vanessa would like it, but she was turned off and preferred him to be ruthless. They could be repeating a similar plot point in this show with the whole Adam subplot and the rocky relationship - I wouldn't be shocked if Adam is all but dead after being starved/tortured/etc and Vanessa finds out and is like "I needed to test you to see if you were the man i fell in love with" and things are fine between the two of them again.

As I was listening to that horrible rendition of We Built This City, it gave me an old flashback from a radio bit a long time ago. Most offensive song contest, and the winner was... My Dick's All Shitty. I can't ever hear the one without thinking of the other.
This is that song. Don't listen to it at work... or around kids.

Because the writing is Disney level, I wouldn't be surprised either. "My wife just fucks other guys because she loves me so much" is what I expect from Kingpin at this point, after a good crying session during couples therapy because everything about this is fucking retarded
