I was the last can of beans at a Safeway. King Pin (from Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse) entered and stomped around looking for beans. I slowly got up and ran away from him but he saw me and started to chase me. He yelled, “MY BEANS. MY F***ING BEANNNNS.” the entire time he was after me. I ran for my little bean life.

Daredevil Born Again episode 4 was good. I'm glad there wasn't a fantastical fight scene in it. I'm very glad that Frank and Matt had a heartfelt meaningful dialogue. Even if that's all of Frank we see in this show I'm happy about it. I'm super glad Fisk and Vanessa were handled with methodical care and the show isn't trying to fill their relationship with meaningless references to the past. I am very happy with the way the show is going. 8/10

I just finished Marvel’s Echo and I was excited to go on Tiktok so people’s thoughts and opinions.

That was my first mistake.

Cause all everybody wanna mention is either CGI and Daredevil, or just some shit that didn’t involve the show at all. And I’m like… what is wrong with you people? Like genuinely.

Echo is a good show. Is it a 10/10, no. But not even show or movie needs to be a 10/10. People’s obsession with perfection to the masses is crippling the entertainment industry. Not every movie is gonna be like Avatar or Endgame. Not every series is going to be like ATLA or Stranger Things. There was a time that people cherished mediocre tv shows and movies. The early 2000s is FULL OF THEM. But we still ate that shit up, and still do till this day.

Echo was about taking the wrong path after experiencing pain. It’s the two paths that we see every hero face. It’s the good side or the bad side. Maya chose the bad side, which we don’t see that often. And the story is also about connecting back to your roots after cutting that part of your life out. As a person of color, I instantly related to that shit and I loved how they portrayed it. The dialogue was great. The comedy was great, and it didn’t seem to be out of place either. The tone was great as well.

The only criticism I have of the show that at time it didn’t feel like there was much of a beginning to end when it came to the plot. But other than that, I don’t have any problems with this show.

And spoilers, btw, but when Maya and King Pin came face to face in like the final showdown or whatever, I kind of like the direction they went with. Maya didn’t defeat him by beating the shit out of him or killing him. No she defeated him by fucking with his head. She showed him his deepest pain and FORCED him to come in terms with that shit. And it fucked him up so bad that he had to leave!

I give the show a solid 7.5/10. I would even raise it up to 8 just because of the cinematography, the music, and the filmmaking. The filmmaking of this show was spot on.

DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN

The devil is back and…

I wrote my Masters thesis on Daredevil Reborn (I’m that fan) and to see it play out in another much loved medium of mine is everything! OG cast (no spoilers), spectacular story telling, cinematography AND bone cracking fight sequences…

Mountain Gods

Small, kind of rambly exploration of the group/ex members (King Pin, Bowling Pin, Charger)

(Despite it not covering everything, it's still a little long. Warning for undetailed mentions of violence (even against family) )

Mountain Gods:

King Pin:

A legend, he's referred to by his gang with god-like reverence. The mountain gods are a huge organization, not a small scale gang like the bandits the vault members typically tussle with. The "wars" between them are nothing compared to the gods conflicts with other large groups like The New Order and other large raider gangs.

King Pin is so respected that if he told one of his members jump off a bridge they would. To keep control over his gang, he treats it in a monarchy fashion, planning for one of his 9 children to take over, and pushing them into often violent competition with one another for a chance at his approval. The fact they all look so much like him is intentional, making him into an almost immortal figure.

Like Charger, he enforces control with fear, but also respect. He rewards people generously and punishes them severely. It's important to him his 'subjects' eat well, stay healthy and feel indebted to him and the group. 

King Pin wasn't the original founder, but he led it into its greatest 'era' after a fight to the death with the previous head after serving as their right hand man for years.

They control the whole mountain range, making it difficult for groups to pass through, and leading to the vault built into the base of the range's isolation. They're unaware of it having opened, but as long as the vault continues to keep to itself, would tolerate its existence.

Bowling Pin: 

One of the younger children of King Pin, he bears the closest physical resemblance to him, leading to him being feared by other members of the gang without having to do anything to earn that reputation.

Privately, his father sees him as a bit of a screw up. Bowling Pin has never been the best fighter of his siblings, and they'd often become easily distracted, starting flings with other gang members that die out due to how hard it is to establish a real connection with a reputation like his.

Despite being considered a failure, and lacking the cruel edge and competitive streak of his siblings, Bowling Pin's progress is kept secret from the other members. The danger with staking your legacy on your children is that when they make mistakes you have to cover them up.

Bowling Pin fled the gang after [REDACTED] and is now hiding out at the vault, where for the first time people actually got to see the real him without his father's shadow constantly hanging over him. 

The Hush Bandits are currently unaware of his uprooted life, and avoid stepping on his toes lest he lets his father know about the defected new gang. 

Amongst his family, who are all bowling pins, and the gang, he was known as Seven, or Lucky Number Seven. 

2-6 are his older siblings, 8-10 are his youngest... 1 is Kingpin himself.

Charger:

Charger is a little younger than King Pin and grew up along side him. From childhood friend to attack dog, Charger saw all of it.

Charger grew to be an enforcer of Bowling Pins, and with his unnatural size and strength, was often made to inflict punishments with just his bare hands, giving him a terrifying beast-like reputation. No one ever crossed him- and by extension - no one crossed King Pin.

When they were both young, in their 20s, King Pin had almost complete control over Charger. He was hardly his own person. No one even knew him as one at least, just the dangerous extension of his 'friend' the pin. At one point in his life, King Pin and the previous boss even had him kill one of his own parents who committed treason against the group. 

But despite knowing the pin so long, Charger's role in his life became smaller and smaller with each passing year. King Pin surrounded himself with people that would get him further than Charger ever could. Smarter people, people with more connections, etc.

When King Pin took over the gang and became King Pin, Charger was still Charger. 

Charger finally snapped, and voiced his frustration to a small group in his unit, and they defected to become their own group. Some out of the hope that they'd have a better chance at personal power by forming their own group, others out of fear or disagreements of King Pin (or fear of Charger himself).

To the rest of the gang, the disappearance of him and the small group he took is unsolved, but they're thought to be dead after a rockslide occurred the night they left.

Charger now acts like he has complete power over his new group, and he's vengeful enough to want to inflict the damage King Pin inflicted on him back... but truthfully he's deathly afraid of King Pin finding them. Even now, despite Charger likely being strong enough to over power him one on one, King Pin knows everything about Charger... his is insecurities, his weaknesses, what makes him tick. He'd crumble.

I honestly haven’t been this excited for a Marvel project in a while till now
