1. Much of original Matrix
2. Pretty much everything with MCU!Cap, because I adore the character.
3. Any scene with Hundred Eyes in the Netflix Marco Polo. (Actually, I enjoy most of the fight scenes in that series.)

Original Matrix *was* excellent. And Cap fight scenes are just...yeah. Good stuff. I'm not familiar with the MC series - i need to watch.

It got hammered critically -- mocked as "Netflix's budget version of Game of Thrones" but, at least for me, I'd take it over GoT any day. Granted, Marco Polo wasn't telling quite as sweeping of a story, and so, because they didn't have to juggle as many characters, each character has more room for development. ~ Yeah, the writing isn't the greatest, and it's tropey, but despite this most of the performances are excellent. The guy playing Kublai Khan is mesmerizing. (And hey, Asians being played by Asians, which means 95% of the cast is Asian.) Yes, historical liberties were taken, but the series tried to do as much as possible right. And while there are a few brothel scenes, and violence, and nudity, somehow it all just seemed less gratuitous and skeevy to me. (What really underscored this was a scene in which a naked woman fights three soldiers who have been sent to do her harm. Spoiler: she wins.)

Might not be your cuppa, but worth a try.

I've thought I might watch it, just haven't gotten around to it, yet. Thanks for the review!
