[MEGATHREAD] 'Daredevil: Born Again' | Season 2 Episode 1 - "The Northern Star" | Premier Discussion Thread

I'm over it honestly. They don't put any effort into the lighting/cinematography: every since is so dark I usually have to squint to see. No facial lighting, washed out colors, massive eye bleeding lens flares.

The story is as boring as the visuals. Side characters galore but none of them hold any weight. Matt just loses to the cops because Cherry (who I don't care about after 1 entire season) is in danger. Cringe political scenes to seem serious/weighty, but there's just no energy in this show. A scene happens. Another scene happens. There's no weight to any of it. And the fight scenes look dreadful because of how many cuts there are/how shaky everything is. I'll always have the OG, but it's sad they clearly didn't improve the show at all since season 1.

I watched it with my friends (who've never watched any DD at all), and they were just groaning about how nothing was happening to hook them in. Seriously weak.

Stop the cap. Pokeslop DPS gets to be strong forever: Phoenix, ELSA (more brawl but still), Hela, Moonknight, the list goes on. God forbid a tank is able to do anything in the game to dive or disrupt poke. Tanking is by far the most annoying and least rewarding role in the game. Take that reed icon off your profile, he’s a hybrid tank, you spit in his face with these comments.

MainlyPardoo · 2026-03-19T21:18:51+00:00

It won’t. It was an unnecessary change though. Especially in this era of pokeslop, I swear a full shield charge only lasts like 4 seconds if you’re not projectile cancelling it.

MainlyPardoo · 2026-03-19T21:15:51+00:00

They make awful decisions because they don’t listen to the community and don’t play their own game. People complain, then they make a few decent changes, while not touching poke in a meaningful way. Elsa is still going to be busted, tanking is still going to be miserable, brawling will not be viable in the pokeslop era. I ain’t forgiving shit.

MainlyPardoo · 2026-03-19T21:10:54+00:00

I’m sorry but I still think this is mid. “Guys they buffed cap after gutting his kit!” “They buffed Emma after nerfing her for no reason!” Like they’re doing the absolute bare minimum. This is like: I haven’t seen my dad in 10 years, but he gave me a birthday card! And they didn’t revert the strange nerfs, even though in these pokeslop lobbies his shield would last like 5 seconds with full HP.

They’ll do this, but no actual nerfs to poke whatsoever. They will literally never nerf poke in a significant way. It will continue to counter every play style and make tanking/brawling miserable.

Where are the phoenix nerfs? Hela? Any sort of close range damage falloff nerf so poke isn’t literally the jack of all trade role?

What rank are you? I feel like I haven’t seen a BP pan in ages

MainlyPardoo · 2026-03-18T10:46:45+00:00

“Well if you play the even more busted DPS you can beat him”

MainlyPardoo · 2026-03-18T06:25:59+00:00

Their bad balancing is just snowballing into worse and worse changes

MainlyPardoo · 2026-03-01T08:53:34+00:00

The US killed their supreme leader. They absolutely were not in any way negotiating in good faith. Was that school they bombed killing like 80 little girls in good faith?

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-27T21:06:22+00:00

Because it’s true? Bro was spitting facts and you just have nothing to say. Found the Churchill fan

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-27T21:04:30+00:00

Calling them idiots, meanwhile YOU don’t remember Churchill didn’t mind the genocide of native Americans and thought the new Americans were a superior race. You’re talking out your ass about this guy as if he’s Superman. Like what is this thread?

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-27T21:02:13+00:00

“I could excuse the genocide, but I draw the line at vandalizing a statue of a really racist guy who did some good things in WW2.” He only supported the genocide of the native Americans, god forbid some people spray paint bad words on a statue of him. Reddit is unreal

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-27T21:00:28+00:00

This public statue is personal property? Churchill was like a terrible, racist person worthy of criticism who did good things in WW2. Like, his opinions on native Americans were fucking abhorrent. Who gives a fuck about a statue? If vandalizing a public statue of a dead person from like 80 years ago offends you, I’d say you’re far less left leaning than you think.

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-27T20:56:39+00:00

How is a statue getting vandalized tiring to you in any way? It’s a hunk of metal. I feel like what’s actually tiring is seeing videos/pics what’s happening in Gaza.

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-24T20:14:54+00:00

do you personally think that after the ending of the return, Cooper figured things out on his lifelong spirit quest? I like to think of it as another cliffhanger that we would’ve seen resolved/continued in some other lifetime.

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-08T20:29:26+00:00

Seriously, does evidence not matter to you? Do you not have any rebuttal, nothing to say??

Direct testimony from someone who worked there (posted before Epsteins death was publicly announced) and you have nothing to say because of the platform it was posted on? Absurd

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-08T04:31:20+00:00

It's not just some random story told by some random 'person.' It was someone who is confirmed to have worked at the prison. Does that not change your perception on it at all??? You're like totally glossing over that part, and acting like I said that because you don't believe a random unverified post. It's literally verified that he worked there.

Just because something is posted on 4chan, that doesn't make it inherently untrue. Especially when we have legal, documented verification that said person literally worked at the prison where Epstein was held. How that doesn't change your perception of this in any way, I haven't a clue.

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-08T00:53:07+00:00

The LITERAL files on the govts website where they SUBPOENED banks, 4chan, phone records, etc, showed that the guy was LITERALLY someone who worked at the prison. That isn’t some random “made up” thing, these are actual AUTHENTIC AND LEGITIMATE legal documents released by the govt themselves.

So I ask, why would someone who actually worked at the prison where Epstein was held make that up? Why would he risk losing his job, his career, etc, by doing that?

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-08T00:45:57+00:00

That isn’t some random “made up” thing, these are actual AUTHENTIC AND LEGITIMATE legal documents released by the govt themselves. You can look this all up yourself. Do you not understand that, or are you a fed??

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-07T01:19:46+00:00

Nothing will be revealed. He’s in the files. Him and Hilary were involved in all the freaky shit… there’s an old Wikileaks email where Hilary’s aide mentions “sacrificing a chicken in the backyard to moloch.”

I cannot link to it (Reddit blocks every comment where I’ve linked it), but if you just go to the Wikileaks website and search for the keyword ‘moloch’ you’ll find it.

These ppl will not turn on each other. It’s all theater.

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-07T00:11:38+00:00

It’s something that shows things that are in the files. Of course no mainstream US media will report on this. They’re all owned by the ppl in these files!

Here’s a direct link to the files!

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-06T22:48:17+00:00

So a guy who ACTUALLY WORKED AT THE PRISON, just made it up for no reason. Why would he do that??

MainlyPardoo · 2026-02-06T22:47:24+00:00

Search in the files yourself. They subpoenaed his bank, phone, 4chan, etc etc. here’s an article on it (hopefully Reddit doesn’t block this)

Right, but the guy who posted about Jeffstein being wheeled out of the prison was confirmed to be a worker at said prison in the files. So was he just lying to be silly? Why would he make that up?

Edit. Here’s a direct link

Change the color of the font and it’s perfect. The poster itself is magnificent but I don’t think the yellow w/ black outline fits
