Thought Bubble 37 – Netflix and Marvel’s Daredevil Season 2
A podcast about Comics Pop Culture!
Hello FITWR listeners, Republic City Dispatch fanatics and Storm of Spoilers/Cast of Kings fantasy nerds, we’re back for more comics discussion!
New comics enthusiast Joanna Robinson of Vanity Fair’s Hollywood and The Station Agents podcast is joined by a guy who always buys his new illegal guns off Turk, Da7e Gonzales of Geek.com and Latino-Review.com
No matter your level of engagement, if you’re interested in comic books and their surrounding pop culture, this show’s for you!
THIS WEEK: He of Film School Rejects and Storm of Spoilers co-host – Neil Miller joins Da7e and Joanna to discuss Daredevil‘s second 13-episode season on Netflix. At the time we recorded this episode, we were about 24 hours from the whole season being released, so we’ve only seen 7 of the 13 total episodes of season two. FIRST, Joanna wants to know how psyched Da7e was about seeing a MCU Spider-Man in the trailer for Captain America: Civil War, then the rest of the episode is all about Daredevil Season 2!
Then, Neil and Joanna are fresh back from SXSW (some had to travel more than others) and have seen the first episode of AMC’s Preacher. They report back and…things are good!
The first section of the podcast talks about the new characters played by Jon Bernthal and Elodie Yung. Yes, this show delivers versions of The Punisher and Elektra that are unique to the Marvel Studios world and might be working much better than they ever did at other studios. Then, in a spoiler section, Da7e goes way out there with Daredevil lore and stuff we didn’t get to see (like what’s in those last 6 episodes?!?!?!). All the comic-book Daredevil talk (like speculation on The Hand) is all in the second section.
SPOILERS START AT 40 minutes 36 seconds, and they’ll take a beating until you break your hands.

NOT AN EPISODE – Finn Jones as Danny Rand in Marvel’s Iron Fist for Netflix
Hi-ho, Da7e here!
On the day we recorded our latest Star Wars Special, news broke that Netflix and Marvel cast Finn Jones as Iron Fist. This caused some controversy online where there had been calls to cast Danny Rand as Asian American.
After spending most of that day talking to Joanna Robinson about the casting over instant messenger, the discussion inevitably spilled over into the recording. Patches, Jo and I started off the Star Wars Special without Neil Miller, so the first chunk is just the three of us going over the news. Then, after the Star Wars Special was finished recording, Patches had to take off and Neil joined in the ongoing Iron Fist talk.
I’ve posted what I can here because according to Twitter there was some interest in hearing what the debate inside the FITWR podcasting team was.
THIS SHOULD NOT BE YOUR FIRST EXPOSURE TO ANY OF THE PODCASTS AT FIGHTINGINTHEWARROOM.COM
This will not be pushed into any podcast feeds.
It’s just because discussion is good. So is yelling at corporations.
SECOND UPDATE:
You might have noticed that this post briefly disappeared. That was entirely my fault (still Da7e, Da7e’s fault).
As I describe loosely above, we recorded this not-an-episode in between other recordings when we all thought we were off air (except Joanna, who recorded the entire thing). That lead me to try to win a racial argument with my friends (for better or for worse) by suggesting Marvel could be bringing it’s 1970s Kung Fu characters into the same series.
THAT little nugget that I brought up was NOT my information to report, and I don’t like being an asshole to my fellow scoop journalists and spoiler enthusiasts. Now that MCU Exchange and The Hashtag Show have actually had the chance to break their news without me stepping all over it in podcast argument form, the Iron Fist not-an-episode has been restored.
Sorry about the runaround of this file being up for mere hours before being pulled for no reasons, but it’s not worth betraying trust to be the first person to say something.
Ok, that’s it. Fight on!
Thought Bubble #23 – A rectangle is not a rhombus unless it is also a square
A podcast about Comics Pop Culture!
Hello FITWR listeners, Republic City Dispatch fanatics and Storm of Spoilers/Cast of Kings fantasy nerds, we’re back for more comics discussion!

No matter your level of engagement, if you’re interested in comic books and their surrounding pop culture, this show’s for you!
THIS WEEK: Da7e and Jo catch up the week’s interesting comic book media news and briefly discuss the nature of all spoilers in comic related fandom (light on the actual spoilers though). This week Netflix talked more about what to expect from Marvel, so they touch on that as well. Joanna has read Hawkeye, Alias, Young Avengers, We Are Robin, and The Killing Joke and Da7e answers a question about Captain Marvel: Vol 1. Higher Further Faster More and Ms Marvel: Vol. 1 No Normal.
