The small MCU

There is the big MCU, and there is the small one. And in the small category, I’d mention Daredevil and Jessica Jones, which are basically 13 hour-long movies. And this Netflix corner of the shared universe brings the viewer a different perspective on everything.

The biggest fault of all superhero movies (Marvel-related or not) is that they don’t actually show the point of view of the little guy (some of them do, but not enough). Well, the Netflix shows are all about the little guy, and how the actions of the big superheroes influence everything on the street level.

As far as I am concerned, these two shows (with Luke Cage and Iron Fist following) are also essential to the MCU, even if only for this new perspective.

Of course, I watch them also for the kick-ass, mature action.
