I've literally seen posts comparing him to Hitler and Satan, and tons of wildly exaggerated accounts of what really happened. TikTok DESPISES this man.

John slapping Cyn once when they were teenagers gets intentionally framed as "John would go home and beat his family every day." No matter how many times people bring up Cyn's own words, people STILL continue to call him a "wife beater."

I've been meditating every single day for over a year now and it's been a bit of a mixed bag overall. I had a euphoric beginning which set the wrong expectation, then I settled in to a somewhat consistent practice, and I eventually started to notice the benefits of meditation appearing in my daily life.

Probably the biggest benefit was the ability to easily move past any negative thoughts by simply focusing on my breath for a few seconds. It was like a magic trick. I felt like I had developed superpowers. It was like cutting off anxiety before it even had a chance to finish its sentence.

..then I messed it all up by ruining my sleep schedule and falling down to just 5 minutes of meditation each night. I used to do *at least* 40 minutes, but that became too difficult due to how tired I was, and my attention span suffered for it. Not only did the benefits of meditation disappear, but I actually felt way worse than before.

For the past 2 months, I've set a rule for myself that I CAN'T just do 5 minutes no matter how tired I am. It MUST be 12 minutes or more (I read a study about 12 mins being where it starts to affect you). It's been working really well and, for about a week now, I've noticed that the ability to move past my thoughts without getting caught up in them has returned. I've been using it a lot and it's been really helping me to not fall into these anxiety-led states.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this with someone. I'm sorry for making it so long lol.

S1 was obviously a complete mess behind the scenes and it's a miracle that it worked out as well as it did, but more info keeps coming out about S2's production and it sounds unnecessarily chaotic. It's not like they had a creative overhaul to deal with. They were in complete control over this season and yet they still managed to overcomplicate things.

If you watch the Daredevil: Born Again Official Podcast then you'll hear stories from the actors about stuff that didn't end up in the show, and they don't even seem to realise it themselves. Charlie said S2 contains some of the best writing he's ever had for Matt Murdock, yet the character feels like an afterthought in the show we got. Nikki M. James talked about the big moment where Matt and Kirsten finally reunited after 6 months apart, yet that scene is completely absent from the show and Kirsten gets hardly any screen time whatsoever.

Probably the most egregious example is Charlie spending weeks preparing for a big stunt where he got up 30ft in the air and dropped all the way down to the ground himself, only for them to casually remove it from the episode. It was meant to be the big moment where the DD symbol was first revealed, but they decided at the last minute to just go with a quick reveal and then jump straight into the action. Cox has said several times that he's extremely frustrated that they cut so much stuff that he worked really hard for.

If they want S3 to work then they HAVE to stop making these major decisions at the last minute. Admittedly, some of these decisions have worked out well (Daniel's death being added in post), but most have been super frustrating (again, Kirsten McDuffie has almost nothing to do in S2 because they cut most of her scenes).
