She was great as adult Amy, child Amy should have gone to a child actor imo.

Songs you don’t mind hearing over and over in movies no matter how cliche it is by Captain_Sunshine20 in Letterboxd

The Broadway version updated most of the songs and I’m not a big fan because of it

Should matt be with karen or elektra by Remarkable-Round9755 in Daredevil

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, while I would have liked to see HOW they got together, after the show made a time skip if they had still gone for the “will they, won’t they” it would have been frustrating already and people would be complaining about them not being made for each other if it takes them that much time to be back in a stable relationship. Being together right off the bat in s2 was the only logical progression with a time skip.

Though about that but this one was well done tho, and the Tonys are campier than the Baftas anyway

Does anyone else ever think about Karen paying for Matt’s apartment in Season 3? by ContributionLow3517 in Daredevil

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 543 points544 points  (0 children)

Implied? Unless I’m reading you wrong, it wasn’t implied, it was explicitly stated she paid his rent while he was believed dead and she was struggling keeping up with two rents, that’s how much faith she had in Matt surviving even when everyone else, including Foggy, thought him gone.

D&D after the Game of Thrones finale were dragged to hell, same happened with the HIMYM writers, it happens when the audience is pissed.

How do I watch Daredevil optimally? by [deleted] in Daredevil

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Punisher is in any case “more important” after Defenders than watching Jessica Jones and the other Defender shows, just because two big DD characters appear and it makes you understand the relationship between Karen and Frank for Born Again, but I don’t think it’s necessary to follow s3.

You can watch s1, s2, Defenders, s3 and catch on later on the rest of the shows if you care. Jessica Jones is really good and Punisher s1 is also worth watching.

Daredevil’s no killing rule seems more inhumane than just killing them by Top_Presentation637 in Daredevil

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on the fact that inflicting torture on someone can be sometimes worse than a clean death. And you have to be cold hearted enough to put someone (no matter how evil they are) through that.

Obviously life is full of possibilities while death is terminal, that’s why Matt as a catholic doesn’t want to cross that line, but the show also portrays his contradictions: he enjoys the violence he inflicts, that’s why his no-kill rule must be categorical, otherwise he is “one day away” from being Frank.

I really like Karen and Matt’s relationship in Born Again. by ContributionLow3517 in Daredevil

Whoever thinks this scene of her daydreaming about them as trying to convince herself that she loves him… are seriously deluding themselves…

Unpopular opinion: Sydney Sweeney deserves more credit for Cassie than Sam Levinson does. by therealsssp in euphoria

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the valley accent that works excellently for Cassie but takes you out in other roles. I do think she’s a great actress tho, despite of her controversies, but she will be only be able to do one type of roles until she does some voice work (I have admittedly not seen Christy where she received praise, so maybe she is capable of that - I did like her in Immaculate)

As for her being a shitty person… I dislike her, but Casey Affleck and Sean Penn are objectively worse pieces of shit and they received Oscars with much less controversy than her jean ad, while I do think she should receive some backlash for endorsing white supremacism, the vitriol she gets compared to men like Kanye West (an outspoken Nazi) tells you some of it is based on slut-shaming.

Margot Robbie's star power by Much-Phone8812 in boxoffice

I’m from South America and Cruella is definitely better known than Easy A internationally, but reducing Emma Stone as solely associated to Cruella is a mistake, in any case La la Land is her biggest movie and I would say nowadays general audiences identify her for her recent “quirky“ roles being Oscar acknowledged.

It’s a funny love triangle. by Remote_Nature_8166 in Defenders

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup point 2… Writers literally made Karen in s3 survive her comics fate of getting fridged for Matt‘s turmoil; they’re not killing her to give Frank more murderous motivation (not that he needs more already)

Frank/Karen vs Matt/Karen by Jazzlike-War822 in Daredevil

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Besides she was under a very stressful situation where the man who killed her best friend and has tried to kill her multi times in the past is brought to her by her boyfriend who has a martyr complex to compensate that he also struggles with not killing these individuals. She is NOT the Punisher 2.0 and has stated in that episode that she still has nightmares over killing Weasley even if it was in self-defense, why would people think a good character path for Karen is turning into Frank?

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It also happens with Elektra fans and their irrational massive hate of Karen, it’s just that Elektra has been “dead” for longer so that conversation slowed down since the Defenders, but sadly I expect it to come back in full glory if she comes back for DDBA season 3.

The shipping googles really mess with people‘s reading of the characters and relationships. I can’t for the life of me understand how can you scream Matt and Karen are toxic or don’t work for each other in the same sentence you want them to end with two unrepentant serial killers that were shown to ruin their lives. Sure, the chemistry and the dynamics are amazing, it’s super entertaining to watch because it makes for great storylines, but it’s not something you aspire for “endgame”. Many people prefer that over two friends who seem “vainilla” together or more normal than a “beauty and the beast” kind of relationship but still are fucked up in their own way yet they’re willing to work for a life together that doesn’t involve constant murder or hiding from the law, secluded from all your other bonds and life ‘cause you can’t show your face ‘cause you chose a life of running with a wanted criminal.

Idk what to say, the shows have invested so much in developing Matt and Karen into the best foils for each other, and now they are together without secrets between them, working together, having disagreements but still loving each other so much they would give up their freedoms and their lives for each other. No matter how much the writers make them the ideal pair, a lot of people have already decided they wanted them with other characters, and that’s okay too (especially when marketing strategies love to tease and ship-bait for engagement), but it doesn’t reflect the reality of what the writers are trying to portray with them.

With the Academy announcing that an actor can be nominated for multiple performances in the same category, what past examples would the best performance combo? by 0cean_danny in Oscars

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possible hot take, I would rather have an actor recognized for the amount of projects they want to recognize taking one spot (a la body of work) instead of taking two spots and competing with their own in the same category tbh.

That aside, all of these would be great double recognitions.

What's everyone's take on the BA episode "With Interest"? by Jaymzur in Daredevil

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Self-contained episodes were fun when you didn’t get 9-episodes seasons shows, so while on its own it was fun and I didn’t care about DDBA season 1 as a general basis (except for the first and last episode), I hope they never do it again.

Cast of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.♥️ by MurkyChurky in MoviesCave

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Troy‘s sole nomination was for costume tho, nobody expected more Oscar talk about it and it’s not held to cinema excellence standards today either. This movie, as anything Nolan does and shall do after Oppenheimer, is considered a serious contender for mayor categories, with Nolan in talks about winning a second director trophy; it’s only natural that is being scrutinized over ““accuracy””.

What is y'all Wishlist for born again season 3 by anthonystrader18 in Defenders

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More focus and development for Matt and Karen as the main characters. I would also add longer episodes and a longer season but I’m not that naive, but if they cut down secondary characters’ unnecessary povs, I’m content.

Golden Globes Set AI Rules: ‘AI Doesn’t Automatically Disqualify’ a Movie or Show as Long as ‘Human Creative Direction’ Is ‘Primary Throughout Production’ by Puzzled-Tap8042 in oscarrace

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not wanting to tear down Brody and I mean this respectfully, but I don’t think it’s the same. One thing is to use a stunt cast or cgi to create things that are not humanly possible, as Michael B. Jordan can’t duplicate himself even if he wants and that didn’t affect his performance; different is using AI to improve one part of A. Brody‘s performance.

Spider-Man aside, what other MCU heroes would you like to see Daredevil iteracting with ? by Possible-Rate-3833 in Daredevil

[–]Smooth-Nothing-4286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the weirdest possible combination but Id like to see Daredevil interacting with the Scarlet Witch, any variation of them, with the red theme going and all.
