He doesn't owe you -- Daredevil director Steven Johnson owes you for
miscasting Jennifer Garner in the role of Elektra in the first place.
IMO, despite the miscasting of Garner as Elektra, the Elektra movie,
directed by X-Files's Rob Bowman (also the director of the movie Reign
of Fire) is a gorgeous movie that simply demonstrates how *one* key,
critical miscasting can ruin a movie that works in virtually every
other respect. I'm not saying that Elektra would have been a classic
if it had been cast correctly, I'm just saying that it's a good movie
despite Garner's miscasting -- and if you ignore the Daredevil
references (Stick, oblique references to Matt), Garner kinda works in
a "Sydney Bristow (new codename: Elektra, due to Daddy's Death) gets
caught up with mystic ninja bull****" sort of way.

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
