It does. Yeah, but I wasn't really bothered by it because I went into the movie expecting it not too. I was really pleased by the Hannibal/Face subtext and interactions though. And Movie Murdock is so wonderful, haha. Yeah, I was a little disappointed at the lack of Billy. I think he's pretty essential to Murdock's character and the series in general, so I don't understand why they chose not to include him.

DUDE. LAVI AND KANDA IS FUCKING WIN.
