chat what does it mean when you’re too obsessed with something that it makes you feel physically ill when you see it?
i see a picture or a line from daredevil and it genuinely makes me feel nauseous bc i care too much about it 😭😭😭
do i need a tolerance break or smthn???
my matt murdock fixation literally ate the entire month of march.
they should make words that can properly communicate The Feeling of when youre thinking about The Character and its.
^these dont even fully express it. its insaner. they need to make a word for it
okay, i’ve rewatched episode one and i thought the bullseye fight was actually pretty good this time.
Matt listening to foggy and karen down on the street was good and karen being terrified to look at who fell off the roof was very well done.
i think i was just caught off guard by my expectations for it to be more like the netflix show, which isn’t entirely fair
daredevil has been a obsession for me for so many years and i’ve gotta give the new series more grace
DDBA SPOILERS!!! (episodes 1-2)
okay i have thoughts and none of them are in order and some aren’t very developed, but here they are so far:
-to start off positive, i like how matt’s blindness is being portrayed, maybe more than in the original. it shows how he is in fact visually impaired and that when he focuses on other things specifically he is affected by his blindness. (for example: episode 2 when he’s focusing on footsteps and almost gets hit by a cab)
-right off the bat, i knew we weren’t gonna get what we had in the original series. the opening shots and dialogue were too bright and clinical in my opinion, as is pretty common with disney.
-the fight with bullseye was not great. it fell pretty flat in my opinion, the way it was shot and played out was not very dynamic or intense. since it was the opening and set up a lot of things to come, it should’ve been more gripping. foggy’s death was not as heartbreaking as it should’ve been and matt trying to kill dex should’ve been a more intense shot.
-while the actors did an amazing job imo, the way it’s being filmed just lacks the grit and depth of the original series.
-that being said; matt crying on the roof did have me crying too, charlie cox is such an incredibly talented actor and even despite the flaws that opening scene had, he managed to pull me in and get me to care.
-there are moments and choices being made that i do like, and i’m sure i’ll enjoy the show even with the disappointing parts
-matt being framed in red light at the end of the first episode and the fight at the end of episode two that resulted with his daredevil yell were the most dynamic and classically daredevil moments and they give me hope
-also i was almost unable to pay attention to a single second of it because of how absolutely soulcrushingly and devastatingly attractive matt murdock is. it’s actually ridiculous.
*TLDR: i found the first two episodes of born again to be disappointing and not living up to the standards that we have come to know and love from daredevil. that being said; through the amazing acting from charlie cox and the maintaining of matt murdock’s character, as well as some promising new characters and arcs, i’m sure it still will be an enjoyable watch.
the new daredevil episode (7) just made me overwhelmingly sad.
He’s lying and hiding things again and it’s hurting him so much and it’s hurting heather so much and kristen and cherri too, and i’m sad about it.
i thought the scene with heather talking to him about his trauma and then them saying i love you was really sweet, and it hurts that it doesn’t feel real for him. i bet she’s going to figure it out soon though. (or die, idk)
him putting on the glasses as soon as the conversation got serious was a good nod to how he only knows how to rely on his masks.
i hope we can get a smidge of happiness in the next episode at least. don’t get me wrong i know the show is supposed to be a matt murdock whumpfest, and i love it, but i need a bit of happy or silly matt just to keep me going, ya know?
(even the shower scene, while hot asfuck, was sad. it was clearly him distracting her from the bruises so he could wait to talk about it when he wasn’t cornered)
"What about you? Aftershave and a haircut. That all for me?" gay sex would fix them actually.

When Matt made the oat milk comment, I didn’t take it seriously? I took it as he read the room (not even in a super sense way) and Karen saying no to coffee was a rejection to Frank, so he thought “yikes” was cracking a joke to break the tension, since Frank was clearly oof. Some people are commenting Matt truly needs the oat milk because he’s lactose intolerant or he’s being snooty and here I think he is being a bro 😆

What an interesting and not at all culturally relevant thing to say Matthew
