Very cool. As a privileged white straight male i don't really have a problem with heroes being of different ethnicity. I liked the blind spot character, the revelation of his mother was a little weak but we can't have Darth Vader in every work of art.
The epilogue as origin story was well done; showing similarities to past heroes and the need for new heroes. a very hardworking smart kid who wants to fight for his neighborhood- sounds similar to DD/spider man. But a bit more relatable for immigrants as opposed to a persons with disabilities/nerds. I enjoy the “street level” heroes for making fun of batman/iron man- “maybe they are all billionaires” that shows up.
Following the netflix show i think it makes sense he is working for the DA now. Punishing bad guys by day and night; to foil this aspect- the apprentice figure lets him keep some of his humanity by needing to teach restraint- instead of being like the punisher who is always looking to put down the bad guys all the time.
Also loved the “fist” as a big bad of the “hand”. the explanation of “umm... magic, i guess” for its origin was wonderful. It’s a comic; i don't need an explanation for a giant undead ninja. Captain America name-drop was also a great follow up to the netflix series as it kepted up the catholic themes of internal conflict and needing to be in community for Matt.
With new comics and movies coming out i can appreciate how they show thoughts, speech, and either voice or text communication. The trending aspect of blindspots bid for DD’s attention i thought was clever.
