    I can't speak to the rest of the show, but I've heard it's considered quite stellar. Never much of a Daredevil guy, so I doubt I'll watch it, or any of the other Defenders shows until the actual Defenders series starts (maybe), butt hey, I'm one of three people I know who actually liked the movie and the Elektra follow up, at least at the time, so, make of that what you will.

    Hmmm. Still waiting for that Daredevil/Green Arrow crossover.
    If said crossover results in DD beating the daylights out of Malcolm, I'm all in.

    But yeah, the DD Netflix series is amazing.
    And I just rewatched the Director's cut version of the DD Movie. Not bad really.

    Eh, I'm not seeing it. The camera angles are great imo and complement this style pretty well. What would you have them do instead?

    Stationary camera that shows everything without reliance on jump cuts.

    Also, there needs to be zany wire work, and them fighting on a lake by balancing on floating leaves.

    Daredevil's got, like, super-balance or some shit, he could totally pull that off.

    This is a case where I think the jumpcuts work though. They put you in the different angles of the fight, and quickly. A stationary camera would if anything make the fight scenes look more boring.

    As for that, eh, that type of wuxia is pretty over done for me these days. And also, slow.

    Could be an interesting take for Daredevil, though. I did like when they played up a more mystical take on him.

    I hate liberal use of jumpcuts in fights.

    It has to be slow, how else would you see the bullets?

    Hey, with Elektra and probably the Hand in Season 2, maybe you'll get your wish. On the other hand, the Punisher is coming for those who prefer brutal street fighting.

    Between this and the DBZ/One Piece/Toriko crossover I get the feeling that Goku just likes to hold back a lot when fighting other anime characters.

    Well, yeah. When you're playing around with small kids, do you go at them the same way you would another adult?
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    It could be GT Goku in disguise.

    Yep. All about dominance.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Speaking of dominance, stop bad-touching poor japanese teenagers' brains. Just because they're your biggest fanbase doesn't give you the right to drive them insane with paranoia.
