One Thing That Bothers Me About Daredevil Is How Insistent The Narrative Is That Dd Is So Similar To

one thing that bothers me about daredevil is how insistent the narrative is that dd is so similar to the bad guys he’s trying to stop. everyone is always saying how he just does this as an excuse to beat people up but i’ve never seen it that way?

imo there’s a pretty big difference between what he does and the people who are actively participating in human trafficking and murder and all that.

i get that he is angry and it is cathartic for him to be daredevil, but he literally has been hearing all the crime and violence happening around him for years, i’d be angry too.

this isn’t quite as well articulated as i’d like, and maybe i’ll revisit it when i’m more awake, but i want to know if i’m missing something?

this episode had everything I love. matt being competent. using people's perceptions of him to his advantage. being a little shit. thigh murder incapacitation. secret skills. accent shenanigans. gratuitous cameos. no wilson fisk.

matt murdock as daredevil chained to a rooftop with frank castle, who is holding a gun. overlayed is a screenshotted tag "#homosexuality does not even begin to explain the behavior these men are exhibiting"

elektra natchios from defenders holding a sword. overlayed is a tumblr post reading "after a lot of self reflection and curiosity and growth i've uncovered that there is something wrong with me. like psychologically. and therapy isn't enough. i need a sword"

frank castle and daredevil fighting on a boat. their faces are in silhouette and close to each other. under frank is an anonymous tumblr ask "your so annoying. unfortunately in a kinda sexy way..." and under matt is the reply "Oh it's over for you idiot now I'm in your head"

elektra and matt facing each other before their fight on the roof with the hand. matt is in the daredevil suit without a mask. under them is a tweet reading "of course i can handle you at your worst that's basically all the time" (i think this one goes both ways to be honest)

frank castle and matt murdock facing each other after frank is freed from the irish. frank is injured and matt is wearing the daredevil suit. under them is an instagram comment reading "This guy annoys me but it's not his fault. He's doing his best. I'm annoyed because of my own issues."

elektra on her hands and knees looking panicked, covered in blood after being resurrected. under her is a tweet reading "My curse was lifted do you want to hang out"

Frank castle sitting at a diner with karen, holding a coffee cup that is being refilled by a waitress. he is wearing a baseball cap and is heavily bruised. under him is a text post reading "fictional men who have the "it's okay to murder people but it's never okay to disrespect women" energy >>>"

matt murdock and frank castle crouched together on a boat. frank's face is very bruised and he is looking around a corner. next to them is a screenshotted reddit discussion titled "Romantic (nonsexual) Gestures for MEN", followed by the list
1. hitting each other with steel pipes
2. freaking it nonsexually about injuries
3. suicide

elektra's body in the stone sarcophagus that resurrects her. her eyes are closed and she is wrapped in red silk. a tumblr post reads, in all caps, "death is a one way street but that didn't stop me from committing one hell of a traffic violation"

matt murdock and elektra when they were in college, kissing in the boxing ring in Fogwell's gym. matt is shirtless and holding elektra's face. a tumblr post reads "my girl is so morally ambiguous idk if i should call her good girl or bad girl in bed" and "having ethically debatable sex with my morally ambiguous wife"

Elektra from the defenders, standing in matt's apartment that she has broken in to. a screenshot is overlayed of a text conversation that reads:
sender: I'm going to go to your house
other person: You don't know the code
sender: Yeah I do
other person: What is it
the sender then replies with a picture of a hammer

in honor of daredevil born again coming out i give you shitpost edits: matt murdock's two messy murder exes edition

frank castle having a civilized interview with a therapist is objectively the funniest thing i can imagine.

i actually have very high hopes for season 2 of born again! i think the last two episodes of s1 were really good and set us up for a good, well made story.

I wish all of season 1 was stronger story wise, but i have full faith that season 2 will be excellent.
