Matt's little :] to hide the barely contained violence and rage and grief that's vibrating under his skin at a frequency that would register on a richter scale is everything to me actually
forgot how pornographic matt’s groaning is in Nelson v. Murdock.
charlie cox, the man that you are.
as much as i am. so excited. for daredevil: born again, i am also a little disappointed that fisk isnt actually going to stay in prison forever.
i know that in the comics and whatnot kingpin is the most important villain for daredevil, but the speech and crash out at the end of season 3 where matt is telling fisk that he beat him (you know the part) was so incredibly impactful and emotional and final to me and i hate to see that get undone.
does anyone feel similarly?
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.
i need more of matt murdock knowing touch that isn’t painful
I love pat the kittens
I finished daredevil born again and made shitposts about it. They're all matt except for one kirsten one
look at my lawyers dawg im going to jail
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.
anyway i love matt murdock, he’s a lying hypocrite with zero healthy coping skills and even less capacity for honest emotional relationships but goddamn it i love him
yes! i miss when shows would have like 20 episode long seasons. like yes, give me that overarching plot line sure, but i want to see the in between stuff! courtroom scenes, mugging stoppings, flirting the pants off of people, frivolous parkour, dinner with clients families, i want all the filler please!!!
imagine complaining about ep 5 being filler. i want 40 minutes of matt murdock having dinner with the khan's - filler is good
i’ve officially worried my father lmao
daredevil using ‘Everything in its Right Place’ by radiohead was perfect.
i haven’t stopped thinking about it since the episode dropped and i get chills every time.
it perfectly captures the emotions and story and movement that is happening and it’s just so perfect i cant even articulate how good of an artistic decision it was. i wish to personally kiss whoever chose it directly on the mouth.
