It’s good we had it, it’s good S3 ended on a sweet note, but it makes it doubly hard to swallow that they’re canceling a show where the hero :
Is disabled, no matter how people don’t get the extend of it
Is obviously mentally unstable, at the very least, mentally ill if we go the length (I would say that but I would also like him to get some help, you know…)
Is openly vulnerable, AND this is not linked to the two previous points. A grown man crying so much on TV is already a thing, a super hero/vigilante doing this is another altogether. And he’s not crying alone in his room, he’s crying in front of friends.
Let’s add:
Great, not immediately likable good/bad female characters. “Karen Page is hard to like, she’s irritating”. Well thanks, this is something I rarely see, I love her. Vanessa is also a very high point, and lately, Maggie has exceeded all my expectations. And finally, Elodie Yung made me like a character I’ve always loathed, so Elektra makes the list, which is surprising for me.
An exceptionally beautiful cinematography
Fricking fights, yo
The Power of Friendship!
All this to say : thank you Daredevil, but you better get renewed, with the same cast, and if possible with Oleson at the head of it.
BAHAHAH

I 'VEALWAYS KNOWN THEY SWITCH POSITIONS!!!!!
After they got married, Sherlock randomly starts introducing John and/or himself with a double name, despite the fact that they both decided to just keep their names as they are. John, obviously, doesn’t say anything against it, in fact he loves the little proud face that Sherlock makes each time he gets to introduce himself as “Sherlock Watson-Holmes”, but - and it takes John a little while to notice it - at times Sherlock exchanges the two last names and makes it a “Holmes-Watson”.
At first John can’t quite make sense of these very randomly occuring changes, nor can he place the almost gleeful smirk accompanying Sherlock’s name being mentioned first other than as Sherlock’s usual, occasional hubris.
That is, until the realisation what the decisive factor is hits John unexpectedly at their next crime scene, and he pulls Sherlock aside, not sure if he should rather be angry or burst out in a giggle fit.
“Sherlock, you cock, stop doing that!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking-”
“Don’t you even try. Just… stop switching the names.”
“John, as you might remember, we didn’t agree on having a shared name, so neither of these two options is exactly false-”
But John cuts him off by pulling him dangerously close, which makes Sherlock startle for a moment, and drops his voice as he continues:
“But I, for my part, do not want the entire Yard to eventually figure out that it’s code for ‘who of us topped last night’, so I suggest you drop it or I’ll make sure there won’t be a Mr Holmes-Watson for a very long time.”
Many many many different nationalities of characters
No gender is superior
A mentally ill leading character
Romance is not a major plotline, yet we still see the importance of love
Girls are bold and strong AND have emotions and cry because that’s realistic
Self-found family
No villains – everyone is fighting for what they think is right and everyone has a backstory (again, realistic)
Funny, heartwarming, inspirational and heartbreaking at the same time
Every ship is real
Sassy assholes
Doesn’t get boring
The protagonist looks like fried liver on a stick.
Boys helping boys and girls protecting girls
Also set in the future
People die
All characters are realistic teenagers who run out of breath, get scared, eat a lot and stink
Girl is respected and safe despite being the only one in a camp with all boys
The protagonist is gay with his best friend, the author agrees
Florence Pugh attends the 92nd Annual Academy Awards
“You do know flatmates don’t normally celebrate this sort of stuff right?”
“You don’t understand John, this is the first time I ever had a flatmate who stayed with me long enough to reach a one year mark!”
and yes, it was angelo who took the picture of them ;)
MJ: *ranting about how prom is a symbol of our backwards society and that it needs to be abolished for all sorts of reasons*
Pete: Hey MJ, you wanna go to prom with me?
MJ: *stops rant* Wait...seriously? This isn't a prank?
Pete: Uh...I mean, Liz moved away, Cindy's going with Ned, and every other girl I asked has been taken. So...why not?
MJ: Wow...so pretty much, you just confessed that you weren't listening to me for the last five minutes.
Pete: You just have to say no-
MJ: -fine, I'll go with you to the stupid prom. My views on this backwards, insipid event is still the same but you asked nicely.
Pete: ...
*CUT TO THE END OF THE MOVIE, Pete, Ned, and Cindy Moon are picking up MJ at her place*
Ned: How much you wanna bet she didn't dress up? I mean, this is MJ we're talking about.
Pete: I'm surprised she even agreed to go with me...to ...prom...holy shitake mushrooms-
MJ: *walks down the stairs in a fabulous red dress, in honor of the original Mary Jane's red hair. Zendaya's modeling experience is in full-display in this scene*
Peter, Ned, Cindy: *staring in complete disbelief*
MJ: *to Peter* What? You really thought I was going to go to prom in baggy jeans and a band shirt?
Peter: Uh...um...wow, you look...you look...wow. Just wow!
MJ: Wow indeed. Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot.
*Movie ends there*
