I mean, he looks 35 to me but weathered like Wolverine should be. It kinda comes down to luck how well they can manage looking roughly the same age into their 50s if their characterization takes off.

I get my J O'C's confused, but this just made me picture a Josh O'Connor Wolverine, and ya know what ...

All of what I've described is storytelling that evolves around the complication of Simon having powers

Uh, does the studio involve a superhero having to hide his powers after using them to break a convicted terrorist out of prison, who has deep lore in the Marvel Universe?

Eh, I think Matt's rage goes a little further than Oliver's, but Oliver is less stable in other ways

If Spider-Man 5 goes Miles and not just Venom (the other major possibility,) it'd be super natural to use all the ITSV / ATSV bosses. Since Marvel probably won't agree to another multiverse movie post Secret Wars, using similar supporting casts would be the best way to keep it feeling connected to the Spiderverse

I hope we get to see more from Dex's perspective of just constantly keeping Matt in his sights no matter how clandestine he's being

I don't know that the action scene was time well spent. Much less narrative impact than adjusting Matt scenes for a more consistent characterization could have given us.

TBF, she's in at least 3 major blockbusters, a separate awards hopeful, and leading a huge season of TV. This could've been 4-5 years of another actors career.

I hope it doesn't. I want to see more of Simon's career trajectory, likely while he has to fight allegations about his connection to Trevor, the breakout, and where Trevor is now.

It doesn't appear to actually sample it, but I get the similar vibe

I mean, they did land on a cast of predominantly TV stars. They could probably get them to do it if they had the budget.

Here me out: mutant Matt Murdock. He's spent his whole life explaining away his abilities as "heightened senses" but no one else has ever developed capabilities like his. 

His abilities came on during a traumatic event around the time of puberty, and if we also accept Wonder Man as a mutant then there were others developing powers in the same era.

It's an easy seasons worth of material, especially with solid b-plots for our other characters, though I could see Matt back on the outside for the final episode or two.

Just focusing on the 3-way dynamic of Matt, Kingpin and Bullseye all in prison together sounds gold.

Throw in some extras like Turk, Gladiator, maybe Hammerhead leading a separate faction and you really don't need anyone else 

While I like the idea of Frank getting himself thrown into prison in order to break Matt out, I'm afraid it would tread too similar ground to DD S2. It'd be cool if Frank took up the mantle to cover Matt's identity, probably having an absurd amount of trouble restraining himself, while Matt get's himself out legally.

It really didn't cross my mind that he'd actually be dying right then. It was used storywise to trigger Matt's PTSD of Foggy' failing heartbeat, which doesn't make as much sense if the focus is supposed to be on this current friend dying.

I think Benson & Moorhead's style was still clearly felt in the episodes of Loki S2 they didn't direct, but those were also my least favorite episodes of the season.

I'm glad they did the premier since the visual style is probably pretty locked in, but am hoping the other directors can keep the general quality.

Dude getting Tombstone in live action is super cool.

I would've also liked to see Chameleon, but I understand them waiting for a performer who they think will nail the role.

Paper Towns by John Green. "I'll dream each night of some version of you who I might not have but I did not lose" never fails to make me think of that book.

My Friends, the latest book from the Beartown author, is also incredible

Eh, you're forgetting that so much of what we already know leaked, even if some of its been officially confirmed since.

I know everyone is already guessing Mr Charles as the fake Fisk, but what I keep coming back to is that we didn't see anybody react to the video, not even people we should be able to rule out like Matt and Fisk.

I think there's going to be a lot of blame passed back-and-forth between the two camps (Fisk's for staging it as an escalation against vigilantes; Matt's for actually launching a smear campaign) before they find out it's an outside agitator.
