++ We have the official teaser for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, which I'll be honest the only thing I care about from this is the return of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones. The interactions between Jessica and Matt in The Defenders was truly the biggest highlight and I've always wanted more of that, and we're finally getting it.
++ I'm still not on the Heated Rivalry train, but I'm happy for all those who are enjoying it. It's just interesting how the show gained so much traction so quickly since it premiered, and really sometimes you just don't know what is really going to resonate with so many people. Perhaps it's the FOMO some have, hopping on trends and popularity of something, whatever it is every single time I see someone talking about it in the wild and not in a fandom space it's just fascinating. I get slightly taken aback because this isn't usually something that most would talk about, the show isn't made for the broader audience in mind (at least to my knowledge, it's a mature queer story with explicit scenes), so it's kind of a pleasant shock. I mean, when the Major of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, recommended the city's citizens read the book for free during the winter storm and the Prime Minister of Canada meets with the cast and pays tribute to the show? That's kinda amazing.
