Daredevil Season 2 Review (Spoiler Free)

daredevil-season-2-cool-shot

The lucky guys over at DenofGeek got a chance to check out the second season of Daredevil (with Elektra and Punisher) and they thought it would be nice to share their thoughts with their readers. They were right.

The good news is that if you enjoyed the first season, Marvel’s Daredevil season 2 is a return to nearly everything that brought you into the fold in the first place. We have a perfectly cast core of leads, some extraordinary new characters (more on them in a minute), and a more cinematic look than some of Marvel Studios’ big screen efforts.

It’s not all fun and games, though. They do have a few minor complaints (read the rest over here) but overall, it sounds like the show is still on the right track.

This LEGO Death Star was Made from Over 500,000 Bricks! [Video]

That’s right, over half a million LEGO bricks! This scene was built over at Legoland Windsor in the UK to reproduce the battle scene where the Rebel Alliance attacked the Death Star in A New Hope. I visited Legoland Orlando (Florida) last summer, and while the models there were absolutely stunning, there was nothing as big as this! There was also some really nice LEGO star wars models over there too! I’ll include some of my pictures of them below.

Please note that the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort will open on March 11, 2016.
