Yes, on the one hand it is the desire of the people to rectify the inability of society of the state, not only to solve crime, but to decide what the citizen's relation to crime is. Is the citizen's relationship to crime as a victim, as a fighter, or as a solver. The difference between the last two being the crux. Are you taking up the cause of the victims or are you taking up the cause of making society function properly?
The problem of the superhero is that it encourages you to ignore the idea of the solver because of course you want to side with the victim. You want to take them by the shoulders and assure them that it won't happen again. And then you physically turn away from them and screw up your face to deal with the perpetrator, with the assumption that you are keeping your feelings with the victim and not the perpetrator.

Look at my avatar. This choice does not come from a desire to solve problems. This comes from a desire to see conflict. This comes from a desire to ignore the plight of the victim once I have seen it and now I can commence to make war as is raw and manly. This avatar comes from a desire to solve crime by way of satisfaction. Watching Daredevil beat the **** out of criminals comes from exactly the same place no matter how ****ing awesome it is.

idk if i would call his urges uncontrolled - he had to get himself blackout drunk in order to carry out his attacks.

I find it rather hard to keep myself from getting quite drunk on a regular basis tbh. Like really quite drunk, even blackout drunk at times. It's kinda hard to even convince myself that I should try to stay reasonably drunk. It's not even an issue of convincing myself generally, just if my metabolism makes me super drunk or I don't even remember drunk. If I had an uncontrollable urge behind my thoughts then perhaps sobriety might be a paper tiger where bringing it up as a possible hindrance to my urges might be like saying that you should keep your legs closed if you don't want to get pregnant.

Just make the switch to hard liquor and your ability to get quite drunk gets a 3 year extension. Tune in next week for another update on how to be a quasifunctional alcoholic.

LMAO are you equating murder and necrophilia with having casual sex

Yes in fact I am and I am asking you how much you understand about either and how you would judge the uncontrollability of the urges of a serial killer. Like, on a one to ten scale of... a scale of some sort. How would you rate Ted Bundy?

25/30

Seems legit but I'll need nudes to verify.

sorry i don't send nudes to hotmail accounts

Is Louie portraying a female?

#QuotedForTruth Nice analogy :beer:

Real talk, do you fantasize about such events occurring? Do you dream about being a vigilante? There are real-life vigilante super heroes! I remember watching the Wayans brothers movie "Blank Man" as a kid and loving it LOL.

Why not reduce it to 5 / 6?

Seconded. I am EXTREMELY disappointed in you! You claim that your breasts are SO big that you would seek out surgery to reduce them. And yet, you only post pics from the neck, up. It's a wee bit fishy!

Season 3 sucked. Not sad it got cancelled.

The decision to separate the main cast, taking out all the human elements of Daredevil's life, and replace them with ninjas, was perhaps a poor decision. Everything to do with the Punisher was hardcore as **** though.

I want someone to confirm that.
Some **** was so tedious that I had to skip whole scenes.

I was just reading about all that, trying to make sense of wtf I was watching. It's been a few decades since I've read a Daredevil comic, so I've had to do a little catching up.

Corny but still rockin, and when eventually she was recognized as crazy as **** but still Daredevil's lobster she became very charming. I'm just bummed her costume never got gud. I know the classic Elektra costume would look kinda ridiculous in the TV series but at least something that resembled it would have been nice.

I've only seen part of it tbh but I don't remember disliking it. It was bogus that the followup with Elektra happened in The Defenders though. Like, once I realized I'd missed a lot of Daredevil's character arc cause I hadn't watched it I got kinda pissed off.

The Punisher didn't start out in Daredevil. He started out in Spider-Man actually. But basically in season 2 of Daredevil (before season 1 of Punisher) he just shows up, starts massacring gang members and putting them on meat hooks, and it's ****ing brutal as ****. He's actually acting like The ****ing Punisher so you don't see a buildup of him going all Punisher, he just is the Punisher. BTW if you actually want to get a handle on Punisher in modern comics I'd say Garth Ennis' Punisher MAX series is a good way to go.

That's about where I left it after reading a couple articles. Not sure if I'll be grabbing any rags to thumb through, but if I do I appreciate the heads-up.

Karen was arguably the main character of season 2 and pretty great.

She's the one who actually does the leg work to figure things out and is very likeable while Daredevil fights boring ninjas.

It saved the Daredevil part of the season but the best part was always the Punisher half and Karen was the lynch pin of that. She was the one who uncovered everything and she was the one through which the audience related to him.

Hells yes Arrow season 2 is ****ing amazing. Deathstroke is great and the series took itself to the next level. When Arrow was in it's first two seasons it was hands down my favorite series on television. I've only seen up to halfway through season 3 and it didn't seem like it was building on that so much as capitulating to the shipping demands of the fanbase. I don't know anything about how the rest of the series is viewed but the dip in quality of season 3 just felt like jumping the shark from which a series doesn't recover.

Yeah, there are good parts.
And then there are like a hundred long-ass scenes of him sitting around in his ****ing church exchanging the same boring platitudes with priestguy/nungal.
And of course a whole episode centered on Karen's backstory. Because we clearly needed that.

I'm halfway through the Bundy Tapes and it's really well made. I'm too used to documentaries trading provocative content for quality, glad that this one aims for both.

Also lol @ the judge decrying the loss of humanity that Bundy wrought...because he didn't become a lawyer. That's so America.

Honestly I liked the scenes with Matt talking to the nun. But then I like women telling me I'm an idiot.

About to start season 2 of The Punisher tonight. I finished off S1 Eps 9-13 yesterday when I got home from work and had a free day with absolutely nothing to do but a little laundry. Got dang did it get good.

I like the whole season actually but I have a hard on for comic book shows that surpasses my love of comic book movies and makes me biased. That episode where he first dons the skull and takes the SAW to that special forces unit who invade his shed is indeed amazing, no?

Oh **** yeah.

You should prob put that in a spoiler for elph.

**** a liberal.

Punisher didn't really start picking up until about 7 or 8 episodes. They take their time on building things up, but to me, it was worth the payoff. By season 2 your so far into it, you can't escape. Sure, it's cheesy... and slow... in spots... and there's a lot of unrealistic stuff happening, but Frank's bad-ass-ness is the payoff in a comic book come to life sort of way.

I watched the first season of sex education this weekend. It had its moments, pretty funny.

You

Dennis Reynolds moves away from the gang to New York except there's no comedy and it's produced by CW.

Interesting premise. No jokes huh.

lol they're not actually related, it's a Netflix original about a bookstore owner who starts stalking a girl and it predictably escalates. The actors look a lot alike too.

Show's aight, it was nice to have on when I was sick since it didn't require much attention.

There really should not be any complaining about a tv show being unrealistic.

What if its supposed to be realistic?

If you're into shows about bookstore owners black books cant be beat

Game of Thrones. :)

Hardly any of them are. The ones that are still have to take certainly liberties in order to gain an audience.

Black Summer is tight.

VIsually stunning. Epically dramatic. Humbling and thought-provoking. Check out the recently-premiered 25-minute Timelapse of the Future: A Journey to the End of Time with music by Melodysheep - the artist who created Symphony of Science and the video "A Glorious Dawn" feat. Carl Sagan. <3
