I'm really liking the Daredevil netflix show, it goes a long way to show just how physically tiring it is for someone to fight a lot of people without super powers

I'm only 3 episodes in, but I like it too. My friend pointed out that in fight scenes, minor bad guys fall down and get back up, which almost never happens.

I never understood it. Wouldn't a widower widow people? As in kill husbands?

That was always what I thought.  Synonym for widowmaker.

Just finished the Daredevil series and I really, really enjoyed it. Some things didn't feel exactly right and I found D'Onofrio's Fisk to be too...emotional? and reactive. I guess I was expecting the Kingpin to be colder and harder but I suppose this first season is as much Fisk's origin as it is Murdoch's. I loved the mask they went with for the majority of the series. It was really simple but the silhouette was strong and it looked cool. Didn't love the costume reveal at the end of the series. Maybe they'll re-design it a little for next season.

Given that Daredevil is one of a precious few Marvel characters I genuinely like and root for (thanks to Bendis's run on it in the early noughties) I think I'll need to give this series a watch.

I'd watch it too, but I'd be griping that Female Thor had the wrong costume.

I work on the rule that if you're going to gender flip major characters such as those of the Avengers, then you need to keep a fair number of secondary characters as they were in the 'Real' Universe in order to 'Anchor' the story.

All this excites me too--although I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that, for the last few years at least, the idea of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has excited me more than the substance of it.  I love that Marvel managed to build a shared film and (now) tv franchise connecting their various heroes, but I'm not much of a film-watcher, so I hadn't actually seen any of the movies since the first Iron Man.  Gave Guardians of the Galaxy a try last year, though, and didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped (I know, blasphemy!), but I was still excited about what Marvel was doing to keep rooting for them...

...and then I saw the Age of Ultron trailers and decided it was time to come aboard.  So I'm now working my way through Phase 1 of the films, and hopefully I'll catch up with Phase 2 in time to still see Age of Ultron in theaters.  This is cool stuff.  What a time to be alive, indeed.

hmm. Aside from the Hulk, who is a character I never much liked, I really have enjoyed all of the MCU stuff. No doubt a big part of it is that I am totally the target audience for these movies and shows. I literally grew up with these characters having started reading them when I was 7 or 8 and even though I don't really read comics anymore (to much money) I still keep up with what goes on... So yeah all the in-references, the good translations of characters to the screen... I truly appreciate it all. Even times when Agents of Shield has had some pretty weak writing it has kept me coming back to see what's going to happen next. And I have never been disappointed by their movies so far. I wasn't disappointed by the Hulk, since I went in not expecting to like it and that was confirmed.

Yeah, the only reason I saw The Hulk was because it related to the other movies. I really liked him in The Avengers, but 1) it wasn't a standalone and 2) I like the actor better.

I was always more of a DC guy until a few years back (that's a rant for another time that I am always repeating) but honestly, I am just a big fan of the world building.

Saying that, I think that after the first Avengers film, the bloom is off the rose, not because of quality, but because that was a leap into a joyous unknown that we never believed would really happen.

Now, though? Here's the twenty-odd films we're releasing over the next five years, including titles that are basically spoilers of everything that happens in all of them. Have a good one! Some of the joy is gone for me.

Also, I saw Guardians, and it's good fun, but I wouldn't put it on the same tier as Avengers at all.

There are two distinct levels of film in the MCU: The first tier are the main thread movies - Iron Man, Avengers and the like. The second tier is stuff like Guardians of the Galaxy that are mostly world-building (in the case of Guardians, the galaxy beyond Earth and the politics and ideologies that is forming the struggle that is beginning to affect Earth and threatens to engulf it).

There is also arguably a 'third tier' of movies. What is that about?
