He's basically just a serial killer that targets supervillains.
You make that sound like a bad thing.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

I don't like serial killers I'm supposed to root for.

I don't like it when they're presented as heroes or someone I should root for. I do find them fascinating when they're clearly the villain of the narrative (Hannibal Lecter, evil Angel, etc.).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I finally started watching Daredevil this weekend (made it to episode 8 of Season 1) and I'm just blown away by how great this cast is. I will say I preferred Jon Favreau's Foggy (though he's Happy Hogan in the MCU) but this one is still good. Otherwise I can't think of anyone I would have cast differently. Though the fact that Leyland's voice sounds very similar to Stan Lee gives me pause now and then.
I will say this feels like a very different Kingpin than I'm used to (and not just the lack of the white suit). Still cunning and ruthless, but much less self-assured.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, that's fantastic.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm FB friends with chatty!former co-worker, and he apparently saw Spider-Man: Homecoming tonight. All he said was "Mind. BLOWN." I take that as a good sign. (I don't know how he swung an advanced screening, but I am WILDLY jealous.)
