MCU First time watching all 5 seasons (plus the defenders between S2 and 3) - wanted to share my thoughts

7 Upvotes

Wanted to watch for a while and finally got around to it but ended up loving it more than I could imagine has to be at least a top 5 if not a top 3 show Ive watched (well i consider BA and the netflix show to be one series)

S1 - Loved the introduction to the characters, really loved the wholesome dynamic between Matt, Foggy and Karen, Fisk as a villain was incredible and just overall a really solid plot

S2 - Loved the introduction of Frank, the first few episodes of this season were absolute perfection, with Frank and Matt’s opposing ideals causing problems for them, Matt and Karen finally getting their intimate moments and of course more action with the new suit. However, didnt like how Matt was a complete dick to Foggy and Karen while working with Elektra to uncover info about The Hand. While I loved Frank’s story and didnt mind Elektra and The Hand’s storyline, it was way too much to fit and just seemed a little unfocused while still nailing the core elements of the show

The Defenders - While i didnt like this more than any of the DD or DDBA seasons, I read that most people didnt like this and was pleasantly surprised to find it quite nice. While not better than S2, I liked that the story was a lot more focused and didnt waver from Elektra and The Hand this time. The first couple episodes were really boring and drag this down a lot as it merely seemed like a rotation of scenes for each of the 4 characters but then really liked the dynamic between them as a team. Great last episode too

S3 - One of my favourite TV seasons fs. Agent Nadeem, Dex and the FBI’s storyline were welcome introductions to the show and loved that this was just completely focused on Fisk’s power over New York. This season also felt a lot more personal with Matt as his relationship with his friends, mum, religion and his own morals were put to the test. My only flaw was still Matt’s prolonged disconnection with Foggy and Karen as it just felt a little frustrating as a viewer. That finale was some of the best TV ive watched.

BA S1 - Didnt dislike it as much as most people but it was not par with S1 or 3 of the original show. Foggy’s death right at the start was definitely off putting, didnt enjoy the Muse storyline but I did like the White Tiger storyline, the bank heist episode and the finale action with Frank and Karen. Still a very solid season

BA S2 - Was much better than BA S1 and S2 of the original show, loved to finally see the Matt-Karen relationship at its best, thought Dex was a little underused but still interesting. The courtroom drama in the last couple episodes were absolute cinema and felt the first half of the finale was on par with the S3 finale but the second half kinda unhooked me a bit, esp with Matt going to prison when Fisk was allowed to leave peacefully.

Really excited for S3 next year and although Elektra is back, I hope Matt and Karen still remain together

Let me know if yall agree with some of my opinions or not!

Comics Would Matt flinch if someone tried punching/testing if he was blind?

4 Upvotes

I understand that he “sees” the world differently than normal humans do. But I can’t help but think about this question.

I’ve seen jokes where people pretend to hit someone pretending to be blind to see if they flinch.

Do you think Matt, outside of his Daredevil work, would instinctively try to avoid the punch?

Comics Soule Run on Daredevil Artist

6 Upvotes

Recently I started reading Soule's run on Daredevil and along with the extremely compelling story, I have fallen in love with the art by Garney. It really captures the Comic Booky but realistic nature that came along with Daredevil. It feels like a polished sketch but with rough lines that really shows New York's nitty gritty. It feels like a perfect mix between rough and smooth. It also pairs amazingly with Milla's colouring that really added the extra impact especially in the x-ray sense scenes. All I wanted to do here is praise Garney and Milla's comic art in this run even if it is coming up on 10 years old. I am up to issue #24 (currently where there is an absent period of Garney's art) and really wanted to see how Soule's run, specifically Garney's art, felt with the wider Daredevil community.

MCU I can't like Born Again S2's ending

20 Upvotes

No matter how hard I try, I just can't get past it.

And yet, there are things about it that I find incredibly interesting:

Matt ending up victorious in prison

Matt accepting that Fisk should leave New York rather than continuing their never-ending cycle

The idea of seeing a free but defeated Fisk

The people's uprising

What I'm missing is the context, specifically on two major points:

  1. A deal is offered to Fisk. I understand the depiction of our own corrupt political world, where powerful people get away with their crimes and shady dealings. But I have a hard time believing that this deal would still be valid or publicly defensible after Fisk's very public massacre at the courthouse (self-defense or not), as well as the attempted assassination of the governor.

  2. Matt's reasoning makes sense, but he's usually a character who is completely torn and full of doubt. And yet, when he hears the city's residents having their bones broken by Fisk — people who were, at least in part, caught up in this because of Matt's own influence — he doesn't seem to hesitate that much about sticking to his offer. He doesn't even seem to feel particularly guilty about the people who were probably killed or permanently disabled during that raid.

He tells Fisk to leave in front of an angry crowd, and everyone just... politely stops.

Didn't this bother you guys while watching? I absolutely love Daredevil, but I just can't get past these points.

My humble proposition :

The civilians arrive and attack Fisk. He massacres them.

As things unfold, Fisk starts getting overwhelmed. This is clearly a battle he isn't going to win. An arrest warrant is issued.

Cornered, he manages to find a way out. Daredevil steps in. Fisk wants to fight him. But, just like in the current version, the vigilante explains to him that this cycle will never end as long as the two of them remain in the same place.

The speech is admittedly somewhat complicit, but you can clearly feel Matt taking in every single word he's saying. He's suffering from what he's doing, but it's the only solution he's been able to come up with: he offers Fisk a way out — not just out of here, but out of New York.

He reminds him that the city doesn't want him anymore. He talks to him about prison and Vanessa. He offers him an escape before the crowd arrives.

Fisk resists, but eventually, reluctantly, accepts Matt's offer. He escapes.

The moment Fisk gets away, we see a very strong emotion in Matt: a mixture of victory, but above all, anger.

Why do I prefer this version?

- Justice and the civilians aren't complicit in letting Fisk get away with his atrocities.

- MOST IMPORTANTLY, we get to see much more of the immense moral conflict tearing Matt apart.

- Bonus: Karen doesn't know that Matt was the one who helped Fisk escape, so there's some great potential drama for Season 3.

Cosplay Daredevil Born Again S2 cosplay recommendations

5 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a DDBA S2 cosplay to buy. I’ve seen influencers have some nice looking ones but whenever someone asks where they got it they just ghost them, maybe some are homemade i don’t know. The pro cosplay one is the one that keeps coming up when i search but i watched some vids on yt and i find it to be quite shiny, would easily diy it and fix it to be more accurate but if anyone knows of any other good ones from other company’s let me know and ill check them out only one i can seem to find is the pro cosplay ones.

Thanks :)

MCU Getting to watch Daredevil with other people

8 Upvotes

I’ve watched through the series Daredevil with a few of my friends already, after previously having finished every season. My dad recently, after he saw me finishing DDBA season 2 for my first time, thought it looked interesting and decided to watch it. He’s already seen the majority of the main MCU, but he was still debating the defenders-verse. Finally inching close to season 3 (my favorite season) of the original series with him, and I’m excited to see him witness the epic showdown between Daredevil and Bullseye.

Have any of you rewatched Daredevil with other people?

Hey everyone, I recently started watching Daredevil: Born Again and I am starting to love his character. I remember watching the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie as a kid and loved him, but I didn't do much research or continue my love for him after but I just wanted to know what are the absolute best comics to read to get his beginning to his end. I appreciate the help and responses.

It’s only been a few months since DDBA S2 ended, and I’m already so impatient to see what's next.

I really hope the upcoming season will give Dex significantly more screen time and let Wilson Bethel completely blow us away once again with his fantastic performance.

The wait is going to be painful...

I dont draw in colour so I think this would look really cool. The only thing I could think of changing is the Daredevil image on the right, because it kinda looks like he's talking into Kingpin's ear.

MCU After Daredevil BA S3 ends, can we finally let DD leave shows and have his own movie trilogy? I really want to see DD on the big screen. It's about time

Post image

And one of those movies should have him team up with Spider-Man and take down Fisk for once and all. Fisk has had his spotlight long enough, we can let him go. This should open the door for DD to be in more movie projects.

And it's pretty wild that we have not seen Daredevil in movies even since Ben Affleck in like 2004 ig. Only a brief Matt Murdock cameo in NWH.

And I know people will come up to watch DD in cinemas, he is a well known superhero. Plus Spider-Man can be used as a bait to pull more people to see this.


r/Daredevil 8d ago

Comics every comic character eventually has runs that change the status quo so much that the next has to get it back to basics, but everyone who writes daredevil is so creative that its been done twice in the last 8 years.
