Daredevil: Nelson V Murdock

The Daredevil story took a very unexpected twist at the end of episode nine. The tenth part has the somewhat ominous title of, “Nelson v. Murdock.” Foggy is very upset after learning Matt’s secret, and questions everything about their friendship. I think Elden Henson has been doing a great job as Foggy all along, but he really shines in these scenes with Matt.

Agents of SHIELD- 4722 Hours

So what happened to Jemma Simmons during the months she was missing? We’ve seen hints in her reactions to being back, but we finally get to see the details in “4722 Hours.” With Agents of SHIELD being an ensemble cast, we don’t get a lot of focus time on any of them individually as a rule. This is the first episode I can think of that was almost all just one character, and actress Elizabeth Henstridge carries it off nicely.

Daredevil: Speak of the Devil

Speak of the Devil is the ninth episode of Daredevil’s first season on Netflix. It jumps back and forth in time a bit, showing a lot of character and exposition scenes and then going to a really ugly fight as Daredevil battles a ninja in red. The ninja has a chain weapon and is apparently even better than our hero.

Agents of SHIELD: Laws of Nature

Agents of SHIELD comes back for its new season with “Laws of Nature,” and it kicks off with a bang. The Terrigen contamination we saw last season is making itself known, and people are randomly finding their dormant Inhuman gene jumped into action. What quickly becomes apparent is that SHIELD isn’t the only group interested in these newly powered people.

Daredevil ep 8: “The Boy Who Would Be King”

A hero is only as good as his villains, some say. In the Daredevil series, Wilson Fisk (Kingpin in the comics) has been a great contrast to Matt Murdock. Fisk isn’t moustache-twirlingly evil, doing bad things for the sake of being a bad guy. Fisk had a goal and a dream that he believes in, and he honestly thinks what he’s doing is for the greater good.

Yet Another Fantastic Four Movie Review

So a new movie came out this weekend. It’s called Fant4stic. Or Fant-Four-Stic. Or it might be a movie in Klingon called Fan T’Four Stic, which probably translates to “career suicide by way of a jagged dagger” or something just as violent sounding. Oh, wait, that guy on the far right looks like Marvel’s ever-lovin’ Thing! This is the Fantastic Four! That’s what this is!

Daredevil: Stick

So how does a blind kid from New York City learn to fight like a ninja? It’s one of the questions that’s fair enough to wonder about Daredevil, and the episode “Stick,” goes into that in detail. Stick, as comic fans know, is the name of Daredevil’s enigmatic mentor who taught him the skills he’d need to become a masked hero.
