Hello my fellow Marvelers, Excelsior! I am Axat and I have been Marveling ever since Robert Downey Junior was not Doctor Doom.
The first one-third of the episode is legal speak and psycho babble.
Mrs. & Mr. Kingpin are navigating the tricky waters of couples therapy.
Matt Murdock, another example of [RIP] Stan Lee's love for alliteration, is waging a war o words on other lawyers in the District Attorney's office.
Despite that, his client, a petty criminal charged for a misdemeanor, blames the system for making matters worse. I agree, but about a totally real thing. The entertainment media in India had always run on the fuel of celebrity gossip, but now, the actions of these stupid people is adding rocket fuel to the degradation of values. Drinking at Vaishno Devi? I mean, seriously? But bigger crimes have been committed earlier, so why will this be any different? Celebrities get a tap - not even a slap - on the wrist, and their offspring can bounce away to foreign lands until the hype dies down, which it will, because public memory is woefully short.
This generation's attention span has been swept away by the tsunami of information of all sorts emanating from screens. The solution is not to step backwards, but forwards, and empower them to use it for good.
Which brings me back to Daredevil, as Mayor Kingpin agrees to take the first small step towards a larger, much more ambitious, and beneficial, project. Superhero shows are rarely based in anything even remotely resembling reality, which is why Marvel has taken this show down this less-traveled road. I like it when art imitates life, because ultimately, we need a spark to ignite a revolution, and that spark can come from art.
Just like the series of sparks when the countdown timer on a rocket reaches zero, we too can start a chain reaction for future generations, Adwitya included, by choosing to consume and produce constructive art, instead of "following" crass humor and cringe-inducing "content."
But, back to why you and I are here, me talking and you watching, eh, fellow Marvelers? And here's The PUNISHER! In case you are too young to get that reference, it is Jack Nicholson's "Here's JOHNNY!" from The Shining. Interesting fact about that - Stanley Kubrick wasn't at all aware that Jack Nicholson did that as a literal shoutout to The Johnny Carson Show. But let's leave American pop culture in the past, and focus on the future, because the past is history, the future is a mystery. E Roosevelt
The Punisher gives Daredevil a reality check, and justifies the name of the episode: Sic Semper Systema, which loosely translates in Latin to "thus always to the system," which in turn means systems need change. And that is exactly what I wholeheartedly try to do with my clean-cut content, so that you, dear viewer, have a better option to watch than time killing brain numbing antisocial antics without consequences.
There was a time when I wanted to carry out a Project Mayhem a la Fight Club, because I too felt restricted by the system as it was then. Times changed, societal values have changed, and now, being The Outsider has become the in thing. Albert Camus rolls in his grave.
The Punisher is an extreme example of an Outsider. The Kingpin is the epitome of an insider. Daredevil doesn't feel comfortable in his costume. Kingpin doesn't feel comfortable in his Mayoral persona. Both revert to their original alter egos by the end of this episode, with Daredevil taking up his extendable chain and Wilson Fisk exacting vengeance on Adam.
Adam is not the Guardians of the Galaxy guy - he is the guy who Vanessa Fink had an affair with. Let's see what the next episode brings, goodbye!
