lowkey gonna need to rewatch every episode. i got too distracted by how violently sexy he is.
this is so true! i also think it was really hard for frank to see matt like that. like his fire had gone out. he does have respect for daredevil, and seeing him so broken must have been so disconcerting.
even saying all the terrible pointed things he said, you could see how wounded frank was.
No but the way Frank didn’t want Matt to leave, thinking of sth new to say every time he turned to walk out and then looking empty af once Matt actually left??? Frank‘s so damn lonely, sitting in that dark basement surrounded by only guns, hit maps and the memories of his family. 😭
Matt hearing Heather’s idea for her book and her asking to connect her with Frank to interview him.
Charlie really making one of the best cases for Twink Death -> DILF Birth ✨
Matthew Michael Murdock really just said "the key to stopping an armed robbery is to have fun and be yourself."
Heather: Wants to write a book about vigilantes, “why we revere the mask”, and what it brings out in people when they put on a mask
Heather’s first idea for someone to interview: Frank -doesn’t wear a mask- Castle
and what if i said this is the single hottest thing i’ve ever seen? what then?
I'm bargaining for my life here, Counselor.
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.
me after seeing matt’s beaten eyes, hearing heather saying “no i saved myself” and her view of vigilantes, then vanessa killing adam, matt yelling to his lying client, foggy’s name mentioned more than it ever been this season, matt cooing SWEETHEART to dex wtf, matt grabbing dex’s hair, a man’s getting FRIED, MATT GOT SHOT
BASICALLY EVERY 5 MINS ON THIS EPISODE it’s just keep going i swear I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK
