I was enjoying this show. It was the first time I’ve enjoyed superhero media since I was a kid. I was able to put aside the stupid kick flips and repetitive fighting scenes, but then they introduced a bunch of other stupid ass shit and the show is starting to piss me off.

If the show was just Wilson Fisk, Daredevil, the Punisher, and the legal drama, I would’ve been happy. In fact, I think the only reason I watched this show in the first place was because of the legal drama. You could take out all the superhero nonsense and it would probably make for a better show. But regardless, I was enjoying it. It seemed like it’s just an Everyman vigilante trying to do what he believed was right for his little part of the world.

But no. They started introducing some fucking ancient oriental war bullshit with fucking ninja yakuza ????? who are allergic to guns and use fucking katanas and bows and arrows in the middle of New York. Bruh. Why the fuck does everything need to be about saving the world? Holy fuck isn’t that what the fuck the avengers is for? Why the fuck is the yakuza waging some war in New York? Why is some old white guy so knowledgeable? I mean I don’t give a shit, but you can’t expect me to care when they do nothing with these plot points for like half of the season then suddenly throw it in.

And fucking elektra. God damn this asshole pisses me off. Some fucking strange woman tries to make you kill a man and now you fall in love with her? The bullet from the Punisher really must’ve given him brain damage. I don’t give a shit about any of this. Matt is a fucking selfish shithead and the show tries to address this, but holy shit I don’t need to see this guy run around at rich people parties playing spy while his friends get destroyed in court. Fuck they even got a French guy to use fucking ninja turtle swords to try to kill her. What the fuck is this show???

Just beat people up and speak legalese. It’s a simple fucking premise how did they fuck this up. But they didn’t fuck it up because marvel fans ate this slop up. All of this, of course, is to setup all the subsequent marvel universe superhero squad bullshit. You can’t have a stand-alone story anymore. It doesn’t make money.

    Don’t worry they basically ignore that in the next season and it gets good again. That second half of season two is definitely the low point of the show.

      I think that's what killed Netflix marvel stuff for us, we watched Daredevil S1, liked it a lot, watched Jessica Jones S1, great show, S2 of each killed our enthusiasm enough that we didn't even bother watching the other 3 shows

      EDIT: or even finishing the S2's

        Yeh, Luke Cage is so-so, iron fist kinda blows. Defenders not so good. Punisher was alright but mainly because the casting of Frank was so on point.
