I really liked the first two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again, but man, does this show have weird politics. Fisk is presented as something of a Trumpian outsider populist (albeit a more cogent and articulate one), but the show's attitudes towards crime, vigilantes, and the NYPD are outdated, veering between outright cynicism and pure copaganda.

The prison complexes on the ocean planet immediately reminded me of the floating super-prison in the MCU. Then I had a dark thought. What if this is the endgame of SeaSteading technology? The ultimate Guantanamo ...

MCU, Captain America Brave New World

I really like convoluted multimedia franchises where if you watched the 2008 Hulk movie and not a single #MCU film but you did keep up with #comics and knew about Sam Wilson that way this movie would make total sense. I think that in terms of the franchise's reputation of tedious self reference this represents an improvement
