Pros
- I really liked the bank episode, it made the world feel bigger, despite taking place in a single location. I liked that they brought in Kamala's dad, that he was the same character despite being in a much more grounded, deadly situation.
- Parent context: For real, I still enjoyed the middle chunk of episodes but it's wild just how much of an improvement the last two were. It makes me very excited for season 2 if they mantain that tone and quality every episode! Reply: Hon...
- With Daredevil, I've been looking through a ton of these reactions and there almost all universally positive, with only a few people complaining about some wonky CGI shots.

Cons
- Despite the jarring tonal and overall aesthetic shifts during the first season, the fact that its best (aka the ones that felt the most like the Netflix show) episodes were by the new showrunner Dario Scardapane who now has full creative...
- I liked the season but "Frankenstein" is definitely the right word. It never felt like I was watching one cohesive direct story or that what I was watching would matter in the next episode.

Reply: Honestly the one they were scared of airing was the bank episode because of “how out of place it felt” but honestly that’s the kinda of episodic adventures the MCU definitely needs as well as the overarching story. Loved the gang leader, just such a fun character.
Despite the jarring tonal and overall aesthetic shifts during the first season, the fact that its best (aka the ones that felt the most like the Netflix show) episodes were by the new showrunner Dario Scardapane who now has full creative control makes me more hopeful for Season 2.

I know a lot of people enjoyed it & I understand they had to Frankenstein things together. I just felt down by it, especially after coming off of watching the Netflix series right before that. Despite having a larger budget the show actually looked cheaper than the previous version & the action scenes just didn't have the same punch to him.

Disney's definitely going big on piggybacking here, and I'm so ready for it. Looks like they're respecting what came before.
Gotta say, I know it's only a trailer and that's the whole point, but this looks better than I was expecting. They don't seem to be Disneyfying the tone or anything, like I expected them to.
