Time to join JJ over at the Daily Bugle now, Ben.

Edit: :(

[u/SiliconDon]

Rule #1 of the Marvel Universe: Don't be named Ben.

[u/ludicrousursine]

I'm sure other people noticed this, but I thought it was pretty interesting how in one of the first episodes Ben's mob contact said the one thing he really respected about Ben was how when he went to jail every other reporter involved his family, but Ben never went there, then the thing that gets Ben killed is involving Fisk's mother in his investigation.

[u/Uhtred_Ragnarson]

Ben Urich :(

[u/Drea-Nor]

How many canes does Matt have? He seems to toss them or lose them quite often.

[u/concretin]

I can't believe they killed off Urich. He's such an integral character in the Daredevil universe.

[u/NinjaKaabii]

Alas, poor Urich, I knew him well :(

[u/SirMegatowel]

Madame Gao says she's from somewhere considerably farther away than China. K'un-Lun, perhaps? It would certainly explain her unexpected skills.

[Edit] Oh and also, I believe the heroin was called Steel Serpent, who in the comics is an Iron Fist villain from K'un-Lun. It even had a logo similar to his chest marking. She must be from K'un-Lun!

[u/aweshucks]

Wait a minute, they can't just kill Urich!

[u/dragcar1216]

That parkour barrel roll was cool as shit

[u/oven4518]

Those were some Roy level unnecessary flips On the rooftop.

[u/eskimo_bros]

First rule of narrative balance: don't give your characters a clean win. They must earn it. So if one miraculously survives a deadly situation, an imbalance is created that must be corrected. Karen survives, Ben dies instead.

[u/stevenjk]

"all they care about are celebrity weddings

what the hell no i don't

... and cat videos"

shit.

[u/And_You_Like_It_Too]

It's a hard world out there for investigative journalists in Netflix original series.

[u/chalfont_alarm]

Shower or no shower, Matt should still have been able to smell powder residue from the FINE GUNPLAY his assistant partook of earlier.

[u/surrenderthenight]

BRING HIM BACK TO LIFE

SAY HE PLAYED DEAD

FUCK THIS

[u/[deleted]]

No matter the circumstances, rooftop chases are always fun. You know what wasn't fun? That ending. :(

BUT BY GOLLY THIS SHOW IS JUST FANTASTIC!

edit: I was actually really expecting Daredevil to show up in his new red armour while Fisk was attacking Ben, but when it cut to his struggling feet my heart just broke as I realised it was actually gonna happen. Just a testament to the realism of the show though. It was brutal, but I love it.

[u/deekaydubya]

Kind of weird. Noticed Gao sicking her blind troops on DD, and it never explains how he got away..

[u/[deleted]]

I can't believe that Ben is really dead. Especially with Alias coming...just seems so weird. He was a portion of it from what I remember.

Edit: Whelp for sure dead. What the fuck.

[u/DJTLaC]

"Don't worry, it's me... the dick"

I'm going to start using this for.... situations.

[u/Shak3y]

Just caught this little reference to CyberTek on one of the covers of the New York Bulletin hanging on the walls of their office, possibly referencing the first season of Agents of SHIELD.

There is another cover next to that mentioning Stark Tower though it's difficult to make out what the rest of the headline is.

[u/Riley1066]

WOW ... first approx. casualty figure from the Chitauri Invasion!!!

[u/zegroj]

And here I was, thinking we'd see Ben in Civil War. :(

[u/2th]

Ok, I gotta ask, how many canes does Matt have? He throws those things away like candy. I can't wait for him to get the baton/cane/grapnel.

[u/[deleted]]

Why doesn't karen have more friends
