Yeah.
I think maybe when they first started the vigilante task force, ICE was not as front and center as it was now.
So maybe this isn't all a one-to-one thing.
But there is this...
To me, this dissonance when I'm watching this where we know Kingpin is so smart.
It's so conniving.
And you're making him into this mayor.
And I'm just like, we know too much now.
I'm like, we know that our politicians are way dumber than we could have ever imagined.
Think about...
They're actually more evil in real life than they are in the comic book version.
To me, that was a perfect example of, I'm like, if this vigilante task force is so oppressive, and we're there now, like, cooking the books, even before you get to trial, I'm like, is Swordsman the right character that you want to do that with?
In terms of, like, showing me how oppressive this vigilante force is.
Because the Swordsman in every other show, like Hawkeye and everything, is just kind of like a funny guy.
But...
If they were doing this to Luke Cage, then it's heightened.
We know what he means to his neighborhood.
But also what I think is interesting is,
When I was watching this, if you think about the first season of the Netflix Daredevil show, something that like I didn't appreciate as much then that I do now is like, think about the evolution of how Matt gets his suit at the end of that.
Think about like when he's in his Frank Miller ninja shit, where it's a progression of the character being like, I'm not that protected that much.
