Whenever a movie studio becomes a “brand,” it means going from being reliable based on what you’ve made in the past, to being reliable based on some sort of (often intangible) governing philosophy, i.e. Walt Disney as family (as opposed to “Children’s”) entertainment, Pixar as emotionally-involving high-end animation, and Studio Ghibli as anime you don’t have to feel ashamed about enjoying. In Marvel’s case, the “brand” happened when the studio’s reputation transcended beyond a mere list of popular superhero movies to a philosophy about its approach to making superhero movies – and that philosophy is essentially: “You can trust us with these characters.”

Death Whisperer Review: Nadech Kugimiya makes for a beefy protagonist in this horror movie that any and all thrills!
It's funny as I found her to be the most interesting character and my favorite character for this entire season.
For the "people don't know how to make female characters" argument, it's hard to even attempt to make a female character because with feminazi's on the rise, no matter how you do anything female related, they're going to get on twitter and tumblr and bitch about how they're misrepresented and done unto, because you can't please everyone.
It's to the point that they are literally antagonizing people and getting away with it by pulling a gender card, and the first amendment should be modified to ban and/or criminalize any kind of aggressive protesting, or using slander to destroy someones reputation and business.
I'm not going to say that Elektra was written perfectly but minimalizing the characters contribution to the season as merely a plot device is quite short sighted. She is in many ways the counterpoint to Castle and Daredevil. While Castle kills out of necessity, she kills out of pleasure. Her arc is in many ways a redemption story and a need to be accepted for the woman she is rather than what others have defined her to be. Matt sees her as someone better than she thinks she is, she proves him wrong by slicing the neck of a captive hand ninja. Stick believes he can control her, she proves him wrong by leaving him for Matt and the hand see her as their ultimate weapon, she proves them wrong by making her sacrifice. Ultimately, there are moments when the character could have been written better but insinuating that the complexity isn't there just because it takes a different road from the comics is ludicrous. What's more telling is the sexual component of her kills which comes through Elodie Yung's performance. It's unfair to characterize it as her struggling against paper thing writing as the nuance is palpable. I think you need to rewatch the season and disconnect yourself from preconceived notions of the comics. Additionally, I prefer Mark Waids happy go lucky Daredevil to Millers and Bendis grim and dark Daredevil. At a certain point there needs to be a light in the darkness.
