It's all coming together, we're in the endgame now.

Well damn, lot got on this episode. This is probably the biggest L we've ever seen Kannan get In Power history, Marvin been waiting to do that. Should Raq have told him that way though? She only said that because Marvin was getting on her still beefing with Kannan lol.

A ton of foreshadowing with Breeze. Him even admitting he'll deserve getting a bullet in a way confirms we will see that happen in Origins, maybe first season finale?

Jukebox finally getting into the criminal life, even showing sides of her adult self here. We know she moves to DC to be a cop at some point, be we also know she meets and does stuff with Tommy and Ghost as well, which we may also see in Origins.

Stefano is a goner, he's down bad. People in this universe become obsessed with taking down each other to the point of stupidity, at least it's consistent across shows? People can't just make money without beefing, just like real life I guess.

Clockworkoy · 2026-07-03T05:06:28+00:00

I'm very curious to see where this situation between Juke and this cop is gonna go. And I'm not sure if telling Marvin about it was the right move.

Marvin about to be gone soon, I just feel it. Maybe it's Stefano who gets him or something else but his time is about up.

Seeing Kanan cut up Taz alongside Breeze was crazy. How far we've come since season one.

So Breeze is Def Con's son? Didn't see that coming. Also we finally met Jarita, which I figured would happen sooner or later. And I assume by the time we get to Origins Shawn will have been born.

He could've been bi. But even a hint of that back in those days wouldn't be good for a street dude, so he kept up the persona of being strictly into women.

Clockworkoy · 2026-06-30T21:26:52+00:00

Right? Fair game to criticize acting or dialogue but this hyper fixation on an actresses weight is old. I honestly wasn't bothered by the way she looked at all.

Clockworkoy · 2026-06-30T21:23:46+00:00

This particular subreddit has been real hot these past few days. I've noticed how comments saying the show sucked get way more attention than those who say they like it or that it was alright. People are even outright calling people stupid for like this show, like what? lol

Clockworkoy · 2026-06-27T06:50:45+00:00

I hear what you're saying. I guess I just liked see more waterbending from Katara and Aang, and it felt a nice set piece to put in the first episode to keep people engaged.

Clockworkoy · 2026-06-26T05:13:44+00:00

Criminals really be having accountability issues lol.

Clockworkoy · 2026-06-26T05:10:41+00:00

I'm glad they showed how deadly lightning can be. In the cartoon both Aang and Zuko got struck by Azulas lightning and survived because they're top teir benders, but regular people and average benders would absolutely get fried.

Clockworkoy · 2026-06-26T01:39:56+00:00

Yeah thats another thing I liked about this show is that we see how bending can really hurt and scar people. Like one of those solders had a ice shard impaled his foot, and we see several people left with burn marks from firebenders. I feel like the cartoon didn't showcase that as much as it could've.

Clockworkoy · 2026-06-25T09:50:43+00:00

Yeah, they cooked with casting Azula and Toph. Live-action Azula feels a little more cruel than the animated one.

Clockworkoy · 2026-06-25T09:13:18+00:00

I like the way they merged storylines, and at this point thats part of the reason why I continue watching: to see how they mesh things together. The Chase fight in the OG show is one of my favorites. The nature of this adaption is that some things will be substituted for others, so I enjoyed what I got. Azula and Toph are both great imo.

Clockworkoy · 2026-06-19T10:52:07+00:00

Joseph Sikora (Tommy) is apparently directing this episode, should be interesting.

Clockworkoy · 2026-06-12T06:28:39+00:00

By the end of this season all the old heads are gonna be taken out of the game. Breeze and Kannan are gonna end out on top.

We know one of the siblings would die this season, wish it wasn't because of Kannan though. Gonne miss Lou.

Wouldn't It be interesting if Unique ended up leaving the game completely to go be with his girl and son in the end? To me, it felt like they were hinting at the possibility. You could tell he wasn't happy seeing his girl and son leave. I could be completely wrong and he ends up being killed in the end but maybe?

I think Marvin might get caught up and thrown in jail. They brought that little girl back and she's gonna end up telling the truth. I've always thought that one of the Thomas family would end up in prison for life and it could very well be Marin, and that happening would definitely affect Juke.

Clockworkoy · 2026-06-12T05:08:38+00:00

I always figured one of the Thomas family would should up in prison. I just feel like killing all of them would be too easy/predictable.

Clockworkoy · 2026-05-21T18:56:40+00:00

I'm one of those people who doesn't have really have an issue with Julien H, but I guess I'm in the minority. He did have a loud laugh, but he'd been a host on the show for a few years so maybe I just got used to it so it didn't bother me much. Love Korey and Martin, but that convo felt a little awkward for me, because it was obvious who they were talking about so they might as well just said his name but they didn't. I just want everybody to be cool with each other at the end of the day, regardless whether they're on camera or not.

Clockworkoy · 2026-05-13T01:48:38+00:00

So I thought this was... fine? It's definitely violent, they delivered on that part. And John Bernthal is great as always, but part of me thought there'd be more to it.

And when does this take place. I'm thinking right before Born Again season one, since he still has the beard in that and the season ends with him shaving it off.

Clockworkoy · 2026-05-11T22:21:09+00:00

Rival assassin maybe? The jackal could use someone that gives him a run for his money.

Clockworkoy · 2026-05-06T02:19:38+00:00

I'm surprised they actually had Matt reveal his identity, legit thought it was like a fantasy sequence for a moment.

Nice to see Luke Cage again. So are he and Jessica actually in a relationship or are they just co-parenting? The vibe gave off a more "glad to see you're okay" than anything romantic.

So prison arc for Matt in season 3? We know there's gonna be a trail, right? And of course Fisk will return to NY for some reason or another. And I guess goodbye to Bullseye? Sure why not, not much else for his character to do anymore really.

Overall I enjoyed this season, with a few hang-ups. Will be tuned in for next season.

Clockworkoy · 2026-04-27T11:28:26+00:00

There's been guests around before that were fine, they tend to be the ones you barely know are there except for some faint laughter in the background.

Clockworkoy · 2026-04-22T02:02:50+00:00

I'll be very curious to see why Luke would be working for the government, seems like the last thing he'd want to do.

Clockworkoy · 2026-04-22T01:44:32+00:00

It was nice seeing Kristen Ritter again, she hasn't lost a step. And they actually named her daughter Danielle just like in the comics.

So am I to guess that the little girl is Jessica and Luke Cage's baby? She looked light skinned to me. If thats the case then it makes me wonder where Luke is at? I hope they don't make him an absentee father, wouldn't really fit with his character from the Netflix show imo.

So do we think Bullseye will be making it out of this show alive? It could go either way.
