Marvel's Daredevil Season 2: 15 Things You Might Have Missed

6. The Phase 2 Joke Continues

Every Marvel Phase 2 film featured someone losing a hand or an arm, as a homage to Star Wars: Killian (Iron Man 3), Thor (The Dark World), Bucky (The Winter Soldier), Groot (Guardians of the Galaxy), Klaw (Age of Ultron), and Yellowjacket's hand dissolves before the rest of him in Ant-Man. Meanwhile, a random guy had his hand chopped off in Daredevil Season 1, and Albert lost his arm in Jessica Jones. 

Now we're set for Phase 3 to launch with Civil War, but the homage is still going, as a member of the Hand has his hand chopped off. A nice bit of visual wordplay, or can we expect to see someone losing an arm in every Phase 3 movie as well? Or does Daredevil still count as Phase 2?
