That clearly wasnt Vankos bird

I know! The first two times she asked about it I was surprised but the third time she was mostly joking. I have no idea why she was so hung up on it.

Concerning Daredevil, he's always been one of my favorite Marvel heroes growing up. I thought his comics were mostly great. I had read the Frank Miller ones multiple times, specifically, and Bullseye quickly became my favorite Marvel villain. So when I got this movie I was... mostly enjoying it. I could recognize a lot of it sucked but I had live action Daredevil so I was mostly content. I really enjoyed Colin Farrell's unhinged Bullseye performance. I was very jazzed with how Bullseye killing Elektra was so similar to the scene in the comics. This movie had a ton of the stuff I really liked about Bullseye. And Michael Clark Duncan played a great Kingpin as well. That scream he lets out when Daredevil beats him in the end sticks with me. Really great work on his part. (RIP)

On rewatches it's a mess of a film that tries to include way too much. What stands out to me is how bad Elektra is done in this movie. Poor Elektra barely resembles her comic counterpart in appearance or personality. And while in the comics the Bullseye and Elektra fights works a lot better, this one she feels completely outclassed. It feels almost cruel in a bad way (and I say this loving how cruel Bullseye can get in comics) just because of how much he puts her through. It feels like bullying the way he just demolishes her in their fight and I feel like at the very least Elektra should have gotten more hits in or something, or have looked a hell of a lot better as a fighter in the movie previously.

It's essentially the epitome of a 2000's superhero movie. Very bad for a lot of reasons. But it gave me live action Bullseye so I can appreciate it for that.
