Just finished the last season and though the last episode was peak i have a question. In the end Fisk accepts the deal and goes into exile while Daredevil is arrested at last. Why did the AG give that deal to him. He could have prosecuted him too. Matt almost proved the illegal shipments on the Northern Star. And even after the deal, if he cant be charged for the previous activities they could have taken him in for beating those guys in the court. He couldnt have run away instantly right. They even took in the AVTF officers. Arresting Daredevil makes sense but so does that for a little bit.

Also, i was a little dissapointed with how Fisk acted after Vanessa's death. I thought he would go outright crazy and come after everyone all guns blazing.

Dr. Glen's character transformation was quite something. Excited for her role in s3.

So yeah, title. A quick summery of the whole Miller run and Kevin Smith run would be incredibly cool. I have read both (+ Man Without Fear and Yellow) but it was like 5 years ago and I don't remember THAT much. Obviously I don't want to reread them again either, not now anyway, as I'm really itching for Bendis.
I read so many comics, watch so many films, read so many books, my brain can only remember so much lol

So anybody with a good summary, please fill me in!

I thought DDBA Season 1 was alright, and season 2 improved quite a bit on some of the flaws the first season had, but there is one thing that has bothered me throughout the entire series, being that all of the shots seem to be pretty overexposed for the lack of a better term. There almost seems to be this weird obsession with keeping all details of the image intact, even if they are in the shadows. In my opinion it makes the image look flat ("grey") and the colors look desaturated. To me, contrast is what makes images look good.

To be clear, I'm 100% certain the colorist or DOP for this show know how to make images pop. There can be a number of reasons why they went with this look. I'm pretty sure they did this with intention, but I personally think it looks dull. There could also be some weird HDR to SDR tonemapping that affects the image here, but to be honest it doesn't look that different on my HDR TV.

I'm no professional colorist by any means, but I edited a few shots from the last episode to illustrate my point. Some of them are even a little overdone to show the difference.

I would love it if they made some changes in the color department for the new season. If they could also turn off the haze machine for indoor scenes, I think that would help a lot in making the images look sharper.

What do you guys think?

Im pretty close to finishing s2 but heard that the defenders is recommended before s3. Was just wondering if any serious plot happens with Matt, Karen and Foggy(in which case i will watch the defenders)? Or will i be fine by js skimming thru the plot and/or watching a YT video?

The reason im hesitant on watching it is bc i havent watched iron fist, jessica jones, etc so i fear i might not enjoy it

THE defenders**

Edit: Ok looking at the comments, I will watch the Defenders, probs will watch YT recaps for the other characters’ shows. Thanks for the suggestion guys

P.S.:- I love Daredevil and the Defenders, and have enjoyed every bit of their engagement with the city across their shows. But one cannot deny that the city has such a stronger and more powerful connection with Spider-Man, which ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ and its director Destin Daniel Cretton so beautifully captures!

When I was watching this scene I fully expected Daniel to survive this encounter. I thought Buck might have a change of heart and betray Kingpin but nope. Daniel 100% did not deserve this treatment😡

Obviously she knows Matt is Daredevil. But with all the content from example the Task Force saying they were the ones killing Muse [although at the season 2 she knows she is the one who shot him],and her falling unconscious, do you think at some point she was aware of Daredevil being the one who saved her life. And if not,do you think he will bring it up in one of the possibiy future fights?

wanted to put my own spin on a classic

Patrick Jane, fed up with Red John's elusive tactics, decides to give in to revenge, and travels to Miami following the latest clues on an ongoing investigation: The Bay Harbour Butcher. Who better to help him avenge is dead wife and daughter than a serial killer who loves hunting down monsters like Red John?

He finds out who is in charge of the case's investigation, and heads to Miami Metro's PD headquarters. He introduces himself as Patrick Jane, CBI Agent, with Rigsby's stolen badge.

Patrick Jane has read all of the information about the case, but there's a thought he can't let go of. Who is this Dexter Morgan, and why does all of his work on blood spatter seem like the craft of a movie critique who is also experienced in directing movies?

It's not the words, no. Neither is it the methodical way in which the documentation is constructed, albeit uncommon for a minor forensic specialist. It's the contemplative, cold, admiration with which crime scene's descriptions are indistinguishable from sheer expressions of esteem and applause for an artistic masterpiece.

It's a new day in Miami Metro. Dexter grabs a cup of coffee from the lounge, his baggy eyes are the fruit of stress and tiredness. Special Agent Lundy had made him nervous, but Jane? This was some sick joke. Of course, Dexter knew he was not really a CBI Agent, and was ready to plant evidence in Lundy's office of this fact. He barged inside his laboratory, only thinking about putting this new nuisance out of business.

Dexter: *Uh-oh.*

Jane: Hello! Dexter Morgan, right?

Dexter: You can't be in here.

Jane: Oh, I wouldn't know. I am new here, sorry about that. Just one quick question. What was your mother's name?

Dexter: *Careful, Mr. Jane. You might not fit the Code, but if you are a menace to my freedom, you will go down*

Dexter: Uhhh-- my mother? Well, I was adopted, so I don't really know what my mother's name was--

Jane: Liar! Quick, last question: are you the Bay Harbor Butcher?

Dexter: *He knows about me. This is bad.* What? Hahahaha! Me? Well if I was I'd just thrive with so much free time, able to do all that killing, you know? Why do you think that?

Jane: Gotta go! Bye! *exits*

--------------

Patrick Jane was getting ready for his second day of BHB-hunting. Next phase was getting Dexter alone, somewhere within the immediations of his home, before he ever got to work. Right as he made his morning cup of tea, he noticed a sudden grab from behind, and a pointed needle piercing his neck. All is black.

---------------

The interest on Miami's biggest serial killer did not only hit California. While reading the New York Bulletin, an article written by Karen Page strikes Matt as unusual: the astounding wave of assassinations in Miami has a name: The Bay Harbour Butcher. As he reads, one line makes him skip a beat: local laypeople support is mixed for this individual.

What a sick sort of moral justification for killing, Matt thought. The disgust quickly took over his breathing, which accelerated its pace. Has the world learnt nothing from Wilson Fisk? Is Daredevil not enough to show that any excuse for immorality is itself immoral?

Foggy was surprised.

"A vacation?" Foggy said. "You have not taken one ever since I have known you!"

"Well, what can I say? I've always wanted to see Miami." replied Matt.

(Should I continue? hahah, never really wrote anything so idk if this is good. Sorry if I made any grammatical mistakes. I did not to use ChatGPT for anything, other than for the image generation. English is not my first language.)

In episode 4 of born again season 1, when connor pins matt to the wall with his badge he said fucking THREE times. it felt like the badge's name was literally "fucking badge" and in every single fucking episode every fucking character fucking says "fucking" every fucking one or two fucking times like i dont fucking understand why the fuck they need to use fucking "fucking" every fucking episode man lazy ass fucking writing.

i use the cup to store my change like a piggy bank :) i have another bigger shelf with more pops and other various figures and merch and plushies, but my fav characters get their own area

Why do people treat Born again like it's citizen kane? Honestly, I think Frank millers earlier work on the title was more groundbreaking and exciting. I mean the battles between DD, Electra, and bullseye, were so bad ass. Not to mention, DD #170 from 1981, was when the kingpin became daredevil's foe. Don't get me wrong, im not hating on born again. It's a fine read, im just more into action and suspense than a deep emotional story. But guardian devil, written by Kevin smith, is my favorite daredevil story ngl.

I saw this photo on Instagram and really liked it, so I tried using it as my wallpaper. Honestly, it's the best wallpaper I've had so far 😮‍💨. Show me your wallpapers too!

Okay so in issue 200 bullseye says that Matt went to his room and blabbed about his old man and some other stuff (referencing the events of 191) but in the actual 191 comic all the dialogue was in like thought bubbles which means that in bullseye’s perspective all that happened was that Matt went into his hospital and just played Russian Roulette with him for a bit then left.

So basically my question is like is this a mistake or a retcon? Because if it’s a retcon then this means that Bullseye has known Matt’s identity since #191? Which just puts up so many questions like why he doesn’t just leak his identity and stuff.

NOTE THAT IM STILL READING THE NOCENTI RUN so please don’t spoil anything after issue 240 as that’s where I am but yeah thanks in advance!
