6 Thoughts on the Second Season of Daredevil
Like many comic book fans, I spent this past weekend binge-watching the new season of Daredevil. Once again, Marvel dominates entertainment. This show is everything we comic fans could possibly want from a Daredevil adaptation. It’s dark, it’s gritty, it’s charming, it’s exciting; this is damn fine television, and fits perfectly with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Season Rating: 9/10 – Great.
I also love the Netflix delivery system. I like being able to binge-watch an entire season in a few sittings, getting the whole story in one big go, rather than waiting week to week. It keeps me in the moment, it allows the writers to really dig deep into the material, and create a big tapestry of a story. I loved almost every episode, I loved every storyline, the new characters were great; Daredevil Season 2 was another huge success for Marvel!
Join me after the jump to hear my specific thoughts on the season. There will be MAJOR SPOILERS for the whole season, so read at your own risk.
Daredevil Season 2 Arrives Today!
I know what I’ll be doing this weekend.
As far as I’ve seen, all early reviews are very positive! It looks like the quality of Season 1 is going to carry over, and we’re all going to have a great time! Just gotta get through work first…

The Current Ninja Turtles Cartoon Is Everything One Could Want From the Ninja Turtles
Back in the 1980s, the Ninja Turtles were my jam. I watched all the cartoons, from Real Ghostbusters to Transformers to G.I. Joe. But The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were my #1. And I’m under no impression that those old cartoons hold up today. That’s why I open my mind to accept all the new and different versions of the Turtles. I love the IDW comics, I enjoy the Michael Bay movies, and I’m a huge fan of the cartoon on Nickelodeon. Not only is it a fun series, but there’s rich in Turtles lore and tributes!
And now they’re going full tilt, with an insane 2D/3D crossover between the Turtles of now and the Turtles of old! Here’s a clip!
If only the Michael Bay Turtle movies were this clever. And that’s the original voice actors from the 80s, too!

Finn Jones Has Become Unto a Thing of Iron!
Marvel and Netflix have finally cast their Iron Fist, and it’s Finn Jones, the guy who played Loras Tyrell in Game of Thrones. Sounds like a pretty solid choice to me.
For the love of all that is holy, Marvel, please use the modern costume
I’m pretty sure Jones was fine in Game of Thrones, I don’t really remember. Hopefully he can live up to Danny Rand’s potential. He’s got to be fun and make a good team with Michael Colter as Luke Cage. I’m more than willing to give him a chance. Marvel has not failed in the casting department yet.
Iron Fist will come out…some day. But more importantly, the new season of Daredevil arrives next month! Woot!

Marvel’s Daredevil announced the Punisher’s appearance for Season 2, but Marvel and Netflix have just released a promo featuring Daredevil’s long-time love-interest, Elektra. This footage sort of snuck up on us, like some sort of ninja.
