Wednesday was the perfect TV show. snappy pacing. genuine whimsy that wasn't manufactured by a corporate writing room. cute new outfit changes every episode like a customizable video game character. spot on live action adaptations of every character. a plot that doesn't take itself seriously for one second from beginning to end. a tim burton monster. incredible

the pacing of daredevil born again has been genuinely psychotic lol wtf is going on

[totallysadbuthopelesslyfunky]

for all the issues I have with daredevil born again, one thing I do actually love is that it feels like this version of new York exists in the marvel universe. in the original they maybe mention the avengers ONCE but then never ever acknowledge the existence of superheroes, aliens, wizards, hell they didn't even mention stark industries. which ofc im sure had legal reasoning behind it but regardless, sometimes it just felt ODD lol. it was refreshing for matt to talk about a magical amulet so casually cuz like, yeah. that's the world they're living in

every time i rewatch punisher s1 i always bust a lung at the car scene where david pulls out the huge sandwich and frank is like "where'd you get that" and david's like "..i made it" istg its so funny for no reason. the timing, the line delivery, the character dynamics. cinema

One of my favorite creative choices in Daredevil (one of MANY many favorites) is how they set the scene for any kind of infiltration/enemy encounter involving Matt showing up at a location we the viewer have never seen. Aside from each location being stunningly unique in terms of lighting and layout, they also make this very specific artistic choice right before the kickass flips and punches start: Matt taking in his surroundings.

Every single time we're introduced to these fight locations, there's always an intentional segment in the beginning where Matt is sneaking quietly around, looking for whatever he came for: the person he's rescuing, the informant he's interrogating, et cetera. These shots are extended, usually uncut or with very few cuts. The camera lingers as it pans around a still, undisturbed scene, letting us the viewer take in as much visual information as we can and come to our own conclusions about what Matt might find or expect.

The most interesting aspect, however, is not what we can see: in fact, there's usually nothing at all happening on screen. The meat processing plant is empty, the warehouse hallways are dark, there's no people or immediate threats. These scenes are always punctuated by other details: mostly, sounds. A single Spanish news station trickling into the silence from another room, the eerily quiet rustle of blind heroin dealers at work. We're forced to focus on these sounds and subtle visuals (like the empty gun case on the same counter as processed meats in the plant from S2 E1) to figure out what exactly the threats even are.

The directors put us in Matthew's shoes.

Mulder, if you had to do without a cellphone for two minutes you’d lapse into catotonic schizophrenia.

i know people complain about the “heavy violence set to an upbeat tune” trope being over done in media but my guy, i eat that shit UP. the utter joy that i experienced watching the iconic coffee shop scene, five taking out all those men set to “istanbul not constantinople” was s t e l l a r
