Since I've reviewed both other seasons of Daredevil, I figured I'd talk about the Third - and last ? - season and then chat a tiny bit about the sudden cancelling of the series and the rest of the “Netflix Marvel Universe”.
Review
It was excellent. I understand that the second ...

Amelius at 12:04PM, Nov. 18, 2018
There are no bad ideas, just poor execution…..terrible, awful execution.
You may have seen those games that go around on social media, such as “Describe a classic movie/video game/novel in the worst way possible”, it shows how easy it is to make any concept seem like the ...
Farewell to Stan Lee
Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 15, 2018
Stan Lee
1922 - 2018
'Nuff said.
No, of course, ‘nuff can likely never be said about this man and the body of work he’s left behind for us.
It's been a rough couple days for comic fans. I must admit, I've been a bit of a wreck ...
The Sacrificial Lion
Tantz_Aerine at 6:09PM, Aug. 31, 2018
One of the toughest tropes in any kind of narrative work, from novels to comics to movies is the Sacrificial Lion - but not for what might be an obvious reason: having to axe a top tier character. It's because the trope is something that will affect and carry through ...
Quackcast 383 - Slow burn
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, July 17, 2018 LISTEN!
The idea for this Quackcast came from a rant by the irascible PitFace. She was talking about how there's a trend in modern SciFi and horror movies to bash you over the head with constant action and it doesn't allow you time to relax and take in ...
RIP Steve Ditko
Banes at 12:00AM, July 12, 2018
Last week, Steve Ditko passed away at the age of 90. Legend? Titan? Master? I'm not sure what kind of descriptor to use for this guy.
He was one of a very small group of people who shaped the Marvel Universe, which rocked and redefined the comics world, and ...
Please Yourself? Or Please the Crowd?

May the Forcefulness Be With You
I've been fascinated to watch the unfolding of the “battle” between Disney's Lucasfilm and the fandom playing out over the past few months.
If you haven't been looking at the fallout, there's too much for me to cover here; I ...
The Beautiful Bishies Collection
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, April 6, 2018
A few weeks back, Tantz, Pitface and I exposed our inner fangirls to the world on the Quackcast and divulged our past bishie crushes, Tantz revealing that her first love had been Rurouni Kenshin. This recently came into mind as Kenshin is now streaming on Australian Netflix so I thought ...
Points of View - Propaganda and Marketing
Banes at 12:00AM, March 22, 2018
There are endless points of view out there, and everyone on the Internet can have a voice.
We talked on a Quackcast some time ago about agendas and anvilicious messaging in some movies, and other fiction.
I've become interested lately in the marketing and messaging involved in movies and ...
