PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ONE CHANCE MR. MURDOCK PUH-LEASEEEE 😣😣😭😭

i’ve officially worried my father lmao

i still think going with the anti vigilante viewpoint in a post avengers endgame new york is fucking insane. do you enjoy getting mugged??? do you enjoy getting killed by aliens?? do you enjoy getting BLIPPED?? like. idk

we all agree that wasn’t actually frank, right? it has to be one of the cops who idolize him or something. i refuse to believe that’s actually our frank.

the sound of the coqui and the waves at the end was such a perfect touch. absolutely heartbreaking.

doing a quick drawing of matt murdock to try and quell the all consuming thoughts of him. it is not working 🫡

crazy how this was the whole show and nothing bad happened after!

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN

S01 E01 : Heaven's Half Hour | dir. Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead

matt acting like everything is fine and he’s moved on with his life

but he’s disassociating into his coffee

he’s carrying foggy’s memorial card

he’s slouching when he sits

he’s hiding behind a fake smile

he’s changing his glasses and his clothes and his apartment

he’s trying so hard and he’s going to break even harder

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.

seriously! he really knows this character and has brought him back in such a strong way.

Can we appreciate Charlie's acting? That howl of pain and grief when he heard Foggy's heart stop was so fucking phenomenal

matt slouching at the diner counter

matt keeping the memorial card in his breast pocket

matt changing his glasses like karen said to

the little pieces that tell us he’s fracturing

matt denying himself the comfort of his faith

matt denying himself an outlet for his rage, for his grief.

matt actively repressing multiple aspects of himself

he is a ticking time bomb.

lowkey gonna need to rewatch every episode. i got too distracted by how violently sexy he is.

“people have bailed on matt his whole life”

“everyone in matthew’s life abandoned him”

KAREN WHEN I CATCH YOU KAREN

matt has NO ONE LEFT

is this too much to ask for 😭

I really really want a daredevil sitcom that’s just Karen, Matt, and Foggy doing shit and then it occasionally cuts to daredevil beating the shit out of someone with no context, then back to Matt dropping a cup and getting shit on by Foggy

the urge to ignore my unfinished commissions and flash art to only draw matt murdock and matt murdock only.

if anyone in quebec happens to want a daredevil tattoo i would do it for free 😭😭😭

"Matt Murdock is insufferable" so you hate hot men with flavor, a great ass and princess waist that saves lives?

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!

HOW ARE WE FEELIN, MATT NATION?

charlie cox has the worlds kindest eyes and sweetest smile. someone needs to sedate me

i have my hopes set so unreasonably high for a frank/matt team up in born again. i love their dynamic so much, i can’t wait to see them yell at each other some more 🥰

my born again bingo card :) three days until the games begin!

idea and template from @n-m-and-p-avocados-at-law and @hopewearsglasses

our boy comes home so soon! hopefully beautifully bloodied and full catholic guilt!

i literally cannot stand sister maggie. i do not think she deserves forgiveness from matt. i know he has to give it to her to reconcile with his faith and everything, but the way she treats him especially at the start of s3? she’s so unhelpful and cruel.

sure, you could argue that it was “tough love”, and that he needed the push, but seriously there had to be better ways to go about it.

i know my takes can seem too black/white for what’s actually going on, but while i understand her character and the intricacies of the story, i really believe that she does not deserve his or our forgiveness.

maybe i just want to see matt loved in a way that doesn’t hurt…

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?

putting matt murdock in that slutty little compression shirt and black mask is, and will always be, the sexiest thing marvel has ever done.

daredevil s1 ep1 fight scene in the rain, you will always be famous

consumed so much daredevil content in the past week that i gave myself eye strain and now can barely see ! oh the irony lmao

something something icarus, something something the sun

changed my lock screen to a daredevil picture and i genuinely get all happy and weird whenever i open my phone. i think i’m cooked, good god.

them

they got that bad cock good cock dynamic going on

can’t wait for born again!! i am so excited for nothing bad to happen at all!! it’s actually just going to be matt and his friends being silly and having fun!!! maybe winning some court cases!!! noTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN !!!!

a matt and steven/marc/jake friendship where he’s so jealous that they can actually communicate with their god.
