You know, when I saw the level of retcon/buying back EVERYTHING about the last half season that OUaT did, my first thought was 'I bet Selena's done with this show now.' Indeed
Have only seen a few eps of Daredevil so far but kind of o-O that they didn't notice the violence level. I swear I saw a broken bone pop out of a dude's skin which is the kind of thing I hated about 'Watchmen'although that was at least nominally a critique of ultra violence. I don't feel like 'The Wire' compares as that had some intense gunfights but we mostly saw the aftermath of violence.
I wonder if Netflix has a sort of 'anything goes' policy and without any kind of network/rating pressure they just went wild. (For comparison, most action movies in the US have pressure to be rated PG-13 and since the MPAA is such a weird institution, they don't care how MUCH death & destruction you show but focus on stiff like how much blood you see or the length of the shot...which in my theory contributes to the frenetic quick cut style that we see in a lot of commercial action movies). DD in comparison definitely has R rated violence though I expect them to still be conservative re nudity & sex because of the Marvel/Disney connection.
