A comment on Daredevil’s Powers Are More Realistic Than You Think.

I actually really like what they've done to make Daredevil more "realistic" in a lot of different ways:

- Characters who speak other languages don't speak English for no reason, they just use subtitles.

- The villain is actually portrayed with a lot of positive human emotions and motivations.

- The struggles the characters are often grappling with are familiar every day things, like how do I prioritize work vs. family?

>Characters who speak other languages

The sections where they spoke Japanese really took me out of the world they created. It was so poorly executed.

Having said that, I LOVED the series as a whole. Very well done.

Can you elaborate? I'm only a few episodes in, so perhaps it's obvious when you get there. Is it the Japanese that's wrong, or something else?

The words they chose are OK, but the pronunciation and delivery are awful.

A Russian speaking friend of mine was really happy with the language. Apparently they nailed the "Russian thug" sound, unlike a lot of shows/movies that cop out with "eh, as long as it's in Russian it sounds like a bad guy."
