HEYOOO !!! Just want to thank my Illuminati Patrons for making this video happen, love that you chose Daredevil to explore I think it was the right call :D
One of the most unforgettable scenes that I will ever remember is thr season 3 finale between Matt & Fisk, in the moment of Matt's primal scream you could FEEL the all the strength it took for him not to kill Fisk and that always - absolutely gives me chills. Charlie is the 🐐.
That scene was perfect! As sad as I was that the show got cancelled I much prefer it to what we got with Fisk in Hawkeye and Matt in She Hulk, as I felt that those shows dumbed down the emotional maturity of both characters, making them quite generic and robbing them of their unique traits!
@@henrygambles3652 I might agree with you a little bit on the Fisk in Hawkeye but not Mat in she hulk because I think it really goes to show that yes because the tone is different he acts a little bit differently but that's because hes adapting to the environment hes around where it doesn't need to be all Drama it's like a real person has dark & serious moments and at times fun and levity and I think his character remained very much intact because in the Nflix so he had lighthearted moments too
@@albyjustme I can kind of see what you’re saying and I don’t think they ruined him but I feel like it was done more as an attempt to rid the mature tone and fit him into the family friendly Image as opposed to character development but maybe that’s just me being cynical!
@lukeydukey20 Me too. As a catholic myself, I relate so much with Matt and I can safely say that Daredevil doesn't exist without his faith. His internal monologs all come from what he believes to be good and evil.
Honestly. I think one of the main reasons he’s stayed a hero despite what he’s been through is his religion. One of my favorite details from the show that no one talks about is how when he’s anxious his immediate reaction is to pray. When Electra is poisoned he grabs her hand and prays. His religion is his back bone. Also it backs his view of all human life being sacred.
He also rationalised that the reason he was made blind was that god wanted to set him on the path of Daredevil. He protects the law by day as an attorney, and then he breaks it by night to enact god's vengeance against the bullies, only to see the physical, mental and emotional toll that breaking the law for vengeance has on his own soul.
THIS. Matt is still the only mainstream comics character that was ever written with proper insight into what it's like to struggle with one's faith in the midst of violence.
i always saw it as a sort of takedown on religion as ultimately it would be a delusion that god wants him to do it.. and that instead he as a man just wants to protect life no matter what
@@MegaGoaty3895 My understanding is that Father Lantom is supposed to be the voice of religious reason. Father Lantom knows Matt is a little confused in thinking he's some kind of divine agent of vengeance. Seems to me like Lantom understands that Matt is chosen by God to help people, but the agent of vengeance complex is Matt's misunderstanding of God's calling on his life.
I just don’t see how he fits in the MCU. That’s what made the Netflix series special, because along with Luke and Punisher, it was all very gritty and street level. But I just don’t see Daredevil being involved in some nation/universal type war or whatever.
“You don’t get to destroy who I am” is my favorite line ever in any kind of media/entertainment. So powerful and inspiring. Daredevil is the only fictional character that I actually look up to
It helps that he's probably been had most consistently well-written comics through all of Marvel's ups and downs over the decades. You can maybe point to a small few writers whose tenure on the character was either bad or just okay. Most Daredevil comics are varying from really good to some of the best comics out there. Daredevil is awesome. His show is dang near perfection (his only real weak spot being the Defenders spinoff in which he himself was still excellent), and I think it's a crying shame that he hasn't gotten a badass video game yet. He's probably still not my favorite Marvel superhero, but he's easily my second or third favorite, and i think it's fair to say that his best storylines are more top of the line than the best stories of the two characters I might subjectively like more (Spider-Man and Wolverine). Daredevil is super special, super underrated, and he deserves far more love and respect than he gets from comic book readers, superhero fans and the general public alike.
The COVID years led me to finally watching the netflix shows and I liked something in all of them but man, Daredevil was just different, it is probably the best written superhero adaptation ever, definitely one of the best marvel projects, and among my personally favorites alongside Superman and Lois and Stargirl, DD along with these two shows just understand the characters and the medium of superheroing in a way so many fail to, and recently I read zdarsky’s run from 2019 and plan to read a bunch more DD, he’s really an amazing character
hell yeah!! the comics are amazing. i recommend starting with the man without fear, written by frank miller, great way to familiarise yourself w the character as he is in the comics!
Daredevil quickly became my favorite last year. Everyone who asks me why I’m so feral for this character(both the comics and show) I want to show them this. It’s SO good.
It is really simple and no one brings it up...its just how characters talk to each other...you know, like actual people talk. That is 100% why this show is great (plus all the great action and themes)
Really excellent dialogue, yeah! Esp. the "avocados at law" scene. Cox and Henson sound like real people, with their smooth, swift line delivery and excellent acting. Avengers movies hae slower line delivery, with pauses to switch camera angles. That chops up the conversations and disengages the viewer a little bit. The Avengers viewer feels as though he is watching thru a glass wall; in Daredevil, the viewer feels as tho he is present in the scene himself.
I never really cared for Daredevil growing up but when they made the Netflix show he quickly made it to my top 10. That show was the best thing to come out of the MCU
The Spider-Man comics is how I first met daredevil. I did later started reading him as a kid during Frank Miller’s run on the title. Been a fan ever since. While both guys are different, they’re also similar in a lot of ways too.
My favorite scene has to be when bullseye is dressed as daredevil and he’s going on a killing spree. Foggy seems relieved to see him but then notices something is terribly wrong, bullseye launched an escrima stick at foggys chest and at the last second the real daredevil dressed in his vigilante costume catches it, when I first saw that on Netflix I had to rewatch that exact scene like 10 or 20 times it was so sick😂
Despite being labelled by John Byrne as a derivative of Batman,Matt Murdock has carved out a unique character history,the saga of a flawed yet convicted hero. He’s more gritty than Bats,more realistic,more resourceful (relies less on expensive gadgets than Bats). DD is indeed the tragic hero.
@@ajax3748Not really. Batman was gritty, dark and gothic long before Daredevil was created. It's just that the comic code authority came in the 40's and prohibited adult elements, which forced Batman into being campy and kid-friendly. Because of the Batman TV series, DC wanted to shake away the goofy Batman image and reintroduced dark Batman in 1971 with the introduction of the Ra's al Ghul saga. Daredevil didn't become gritty until the 80's.
I've been a fan of the character since 1986. Daredevil gets knocked down, but gets back up eventually. Just like his father, he's a fighter. I have cerebral palsy. I consider Matt Murdock an inspiration. He doesn't let his blindness stop him from helping others, and he deals with the problems of life.
My favorite scene from the Daredevil Netflix series has to be the conversations between Matt and Frank; two men locked in their ways trying to make each other see the light
Recently got to meet Charlie Cox himself at Fan X and got his autograph, very chill guy. Had probably the friendliest smile I've seen. safe to say meeting him was bucket list material for me.
@@imdavidanimations2018 Are you serious.... Spiderman was famous wayy before films. That's why Sony only cared ab getting spiderman instead of all marvel characters
Its so great seeing the appreciation of the Daredevil Series, it is a glass of the finest wine in the Marvel Movie/ TV pantheon. It’s been eight years and in the MCU still has difficulty dishing out any show that compares… The Daredevil comics have always been one of my favorites. Thank you for this video essay.
I’m so glad you made this because I knew Daredevil because of the 90’s Spider-Man cartoon and I thought “ This guy seems cool “. Then I watched the Netflix series ( really love season 1) , read some of the comics and now he is one of my favorite marvel superheroes. The Devil of Hells Kitchen is awesome.
Great video man. Daredevil wasn't the first superhero I grew up with, but after watching the Netflix show and recently reading the comics I never felt the emotional connection of a character before. I'm hopeful the new show will emulate the Netflix version. Again great video
Among the super heroes movies and series, Netflix Daredevil is always my #1. Cause he is a super hero but does not look super, he go out, get beat up and going home with cuts and bruises. Still he continue trying to make the city better, to help people. To me, he does not look like a super hero , he just look like a dude who just trying to do the right thing. Watching him struggle with morality. It all make him more relatable than others super heroes.
Watching season 2 of the show made me realize that I actually prefer Punisher as a Daredevil antagonist over having him as a stand-alone character. Not a knock on Frank Castle since he’s a super interesting character in his own right, but I’ve always lumped him in with typical revenge-seeking action heroes like John Wick. But making him a foil to someone who, unlike him, has held onto their morals despite tragedy is way more interesting to me and has way more story potential than just seeking out evil to put down. It’s a battle of ideologies on par with those of Batman and Joker, Superman and Lex Luthor, etc., but stands out from those by being more of a side rivalry to Matt’s real arch nemesis in the Kingpin. It’s why I’ve always wished that the Daredevil film from 2003 and the Punisher film from 2004 a) had both been much better than they were (though I have a soft spot for the latter), and b) had a shared sequel called Daredevil vs Punisher where we could see their rivalry in full flux. A trilogy of films that acts as a prototype MCU by building up the rivalry of two characters by giving them each their own film to shine before pitting them against each other.
Yes, I could have done without Elektra in Season 2. I just wanted to explore Frank more. My own inclination is to side with Frank. Kill the bastards so they'll never hurt anyone ever again. Matt is a half-measure, but I watched an interesting video about this that stuck with me. Frank is about results. Make the world a better place by removing the bad people in it. But Matt is about himself. He doesn't kill people not because they don't deserve to die, but because he refuses to corrupt his soul by crossing that line. One might even call him selfish. That said, I love Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock. He's complicated, violent, dark, oddly funny, and eminently sympathetic. We all root for him.
@@E3ECO My interpretation of the no-killing rule, and this goes for any superhero, is that it’s as much about setting an example as it is about not corrupting one’s own soul. Both Daredevil and Batman are trying to do more than just take down bad guys. They’re trying to fix the broken cities that shaped them into who they are. Killing their villains would clean up the city faster and save more innocent lives in the short term, but teaching everyone else that the way to get results is to throw morality out the window and take the law completely into their own hands would only lead to chaos. But yeah, it does bother me too in cases like Under the Red Hood or No Way Home where they portray not wanting to get their hands dirty as the only reason why they won’t kill.
Daredevil from Netflix is a gem I’ll carry in my heart for the rest of my life along the lord of the rings and hobbit movies. It’s a tale that is so immersive, so interesting, so deep yet so entertaining. A tale that changed me as a person, a tale that shapes who I am
Honestly I have to say while Charlie Cox (In both the Netflix series and She-Hulk) is easily the best version of Daredevil, I don’t think the 2003 film is as terrible as people say. The director’s cut rearranges the scenes to make for a more dramatic and well told story. The Kingpin in the film is awesome and while the costumes kinda suck, the performances aren’t terrible. It’s honestly better than I think people remember, maybe give it another chance if you haven’t seen it in awhile.
Same plus I think the film nailed the meaning behind Elektra death and Bullseye obsession with Daredevil much better than the show. In the case of Elektra having her being killed by Bullseye reflects the idea of failure, with wounded Matt not being able to help her, setting up his final showdown against Bullseye. In the series she is killed by boring villain and her death didn't had the same impact. Same goes for Bullseye,Colin Farrel nailed the insanity of the villain and him wanting to kill Daredevil out of pride, because the hero was the first to make him missed is understanble motivation. Netflix Bullseye never felt unstable compare to the film version nor the comics.
@@alexandrefrauches132 I always saw it as Netflix Bullseye holds himself back from becoming the comic accurate crazy Bullseye, since in the show it's definetely obvious he is sadistic and likes to hurt people but is aware he'll just get his ass in jail if he gives in to the lust he feels for killing and hurting people, so he holds himself back out of safety.
@@Patrick-pc3vq But this takes away the coold aspect of Bullseye that makes him so scary, he is insanity and unpredictability, to the point he is capable of going against his own boss to achive his personal goals. I still think the MCU versions needs to show this side of the character. What happens when he doesn 't have anymore someone like Fisk to control him, when he is now a villain on his own and has no reason to hold back.
@@alexandrefrauches132 That's probably what would have been explored after season 3 of the show but the writers never got the chance to give us Dex as actual Bullseye.
I absolutely love how this show focuses on characters as much as the plot instead of focusing solely on the plot and making the characters one note like most marvel shows/movies nowadays
I became a Daredevil fan because of the 2003 movie (whose Director's Cut I stand by). But the Bendis comics really solidified my fandom. And when this show came out, I fell in love with it. It was SOOOOOO good! Charlie Cox was perfect as Matt & I sure hope the MCU does right by him in "Born Again". Also, Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin was excellent casting. Same with Jon Bernthal as The Punisher. They're in the same league as JK Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson. I do hope that Mister Fear becomes the villain in "Born Again" or some Daredevil production.
Bendis and Brubaker. They go hand in hand. Not to mention that Brubaker wrote one of my favorite arcs in The Devil in Cell Block D. The first season really feels like the Bendis and Brubaker runs even though none of the storylines from those runs made it into the show. Just the overall feel of it.
Great video! Daredevil is also one my favorites heroes (after Spider man, Wally West and, another religious one, Nightcrawler). One point I would add about the character that makes him so cool is his origin and relationship with his father. Unlike other super hero origins at the time, Daredevil origin highlights Matt's father relationship with his son, showing how he raised him,his own struggles, allowing us (readers) to know and connect with it, seeing where Matt morals and values came from, making his father death much more impactful compare to others like the Waynes or even Uncle Ben (the 60's version)
@@mider-spanman5577 when you get to know DD picking gunshots 50 blocks away and beating an entire cell of prisoners all by himself while being shot with sedatives. Yes we pity to speak for you anyway when you don't have any idea what an absolute human beast Matt Murdoch is
Daredevil is probably one of the most thematically rich comic book characters of all time. He has been graced with some of the greatest comic book runs and graphic novels of all time and he has a kickass Netflix show. He has all these great elements including his religion, his occupation and his relationships with others that create a character with so much more depth than most other comic book heroes.
Spectacular video. Daredevil’s story opened my eyes to just how much being raised Catholic weighs into my daily anxiety and my desire to do more, while also being one of the best most unique, refreshing superheroes out there. Thank you for this!
Daredevil and Punisher's interactions are my favourite. Honestly I miss how epic and serious heroes could be. You really felt the stakes. It would be nice if they continued this trend with other characters because all the world ending stakes sometimes just feels so impersonal. Meanwhile DD is about the struggle of good and evil, which is actually more interesting.
DD is Marvel's Batman, minus all the resources. So even cooler. The 2019 run is amazing, btw. Also, DD is the reason the TMNT exist (begun as a gritty parody), so, there's that.
1:55 the binging 3 seasons in 5 days is so real lmaooo i just did the same exact thing and finished the show yesterday. already re watching it ngl can’t believe i never even heard bout this show or watched it when it came out almost 10 years ago
Venom is quite complex especially when you consider how the symbiote effects each host Peter Parker,Eddie Brock,Mac Gargan,Flash Thompson,Lee Price and Dylan Brock!
great video the netflix daredevil show made me become a big fan of the character but the breakdown you did of his character in the video made me understand him way better
Daredevil means a lot to me. I was introduced to him through the show, and have been enamored with matt ever since. The comics have only deepened that love. What an amazing character!
I love all of these videos about how great daredevil is, I don’t really understand much of it but I watched the Netflix series and loved it more than any other superhero show without knowing why. It’s fun to have all of this explained to me.
Daredevil. Spider-Man. Cyclops. Even Superman. Your tastes and passion and the reasons why in these 4 heroes is almost word-for-word why I have loved these heroes since childhood. Yes. Daredevil included. Now in my 30s, Daredevil is the perfect balance to an overly bright and optimistic worldview of a Superman fan. You nailed it. 10/10.
Amazing video Daredevil is one of the most consistently well written character in all of comics he’s hardly had a bad comic and the same could be said for his show I can’t wait for Daredevil Born Again
The man at 5:41 , David Mack, is a wonderful artist. I discovered Daredevil through some of what he worked on, looked for more, and ended up really impressed with both his writing and art for the character. Discovering that first issue lead me to discovering Macks creator owned work "Kabuki," which has become one of my all time favorite comics. I highly recommend it.
I often fantasise about what a season 4 of Netflix’s Daredevil would have been like before the inexcusable cancellation of this perfect show. Obviously Poindexter would have been reborn as Bullseye, Daredevil’s most deadly villain, Matt would have reconnected with his mother which was already an interesting relationship before he found out about her identity, Murdoch, Nelson & Page would have got back together as a practice, Fisk would be absent but I bet The Owl would have made his debut as the new crime boss in town. A much missed opportunity.
On a surface level, DD to me is like if Nightwing acted more like Batman. I don't mean when Dick actually becomes Batman but when he in his Nightwing outfit acts more like Bruce. Basically Nightwing who goes little extra harder. That and they have similar outfits and weapons.
10:39 That movie was made during a time when hollywood was in love with the special effects and fight scenes from The Matrix and Crouching Tiger hidden dragon. They figured using that in every action or superhero movie would guarantee box office success.
I fucking love Daredevil. When I was young, I would always see him in those marvel character books, and I always wondered who he was. One day me and my dad were at some fast food place, and they had a section where they sold dvds. I saw the movie on the shelf and was amazed the dude I had no idea about had a whole movie. The movie itself is obviously not that good to put it nicely, but as a kid I absolutely loved it. When me and my dad went to buy comics for the first time, the first comic I picked out was a Daredevil comic.
I love daredevil to the point I read -Frank miller run -Bendis run -Brubaker run -Waid run and finally -chip zdsarky run These runs were absolute bangers.
Back in my sunday school days, our pastor would tell us to imagine God as the judge presiding over the trial of mankind, with the devil as the prosecutor, looking to make the case for humanity's guilt, while Jesus was the lawyer defending humanity. That metaphor added a whole dimension to my enjoyment of Daredevil when I first encountered the character.
Love seeing a video that explores what makes Daredevil great and not ignoring Matt’s faith. It’s an essential part of his character. Cannot have Daredevil at his best without his faith
As a young Catholic misfit, I was drawn to the Dare Devil. I note Matt Murdock is a Catholic, rather than “Christian,” which he is, but the distinction is vital. As referenced in the series. There is an exchange twixt Matt, and Claire who, after stitching him up, remarks how she is amazed by all he does describing his heightened senses, then on his ability to take an incredible beating, when Matt interjects “That last part, that is just being Catholic.” I had to pause, because I just couldn’t stop laughing!
I'm personally obsessed with catholic theology. Daredevil was always one of my top 5s and his the way his faith interacts with the events of the stories is so compelling. It's tough to outrank DD as a character, he's just been handled so well over the years.
Daredevil comics are maybe the most consistently awesome of any title. Most titles have lots of ups and downs and have some weaker runs, but Daredevil always impresses. The Netflix show is easily some of the best superhero stories on screen (movies included). I didnt understand the character when I was a kid and only saw him in cartoons, but after the show came out and I started reading his comics he quickly became one of my favorites. Hoping the MCU doesnt screw him over though.
I like Dr. Strange’s comeback to Mordeau when he’s told he needs to kill. He said “you lack imagination”. As a sorcerer, hero, and doctor that was such a fitting response to the utilitarian/“moral” view on killing. Feel like Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Dr. Strange would make a nice lunch group.
I am an enormous Daredevil fan and the one thing that has amazed me is the creative teams the book has had. I have been so spoiled, how could I not love Matt Murdock?
daredevil is really the only one who faces the question of whether or not he should kill with his voices of reason telling him he SHOULD kill. it's an interesting twist on the typical hero morality. most other heroes are praised/respected for refusing to kill, but he's treated as a coward, weak, ignorant.
Great video! I have been a Daredevil fan and collector for 40 years. He has always been my all-time favorite superhero. Your thoughts snd insight were fantastic. Much to think about. Thanks.
When i was a kid, i loved the daredevil movie with Ben Affleck (i was a kid okay), loved the character, a blind guy that is stronger than so many people, so much cooler, i was like 😮 And then the netflix show made me say "okay, i was right when i was a child, Daredevil is one of my favorite super heroes".
I want to look at it more but I am fascinated with Daredevil in Spider Gwen's solo run. In her earth he is Kingpin's Lawyer, he gave up his good and sold his soul and that is fascinating when you look at how much he time he spends trying to not go down the wrong path
I think season 2 is the best of the show personally. It’s about pushing Matt to his breaking point and that’s exactly what it does, leaving season 3 to start with him at his lowest and end with him at his highest. He has to deal with Punisher, Elektra, and Sticks’s ideology that challenges his own as the city is not becoming safer under his watch and his life is increasingly falling apart. The pacing is fast and the fight scenes are the best of the show, which makes it my personal favorite season.
I respect your opinion, S2 is a ton of fun. I believe S1 is the best but it’s refreshing to see someone talking about something other than S3 which is the worst season.
Daredevil is such a good character and the show is one of my favourites especially the third season, the similarities between dex and matt both having been abandoned and throughout the show how matt slowly becomes like dex the only thing that stops him is not killing, even the way they fight matt always up and close not afraid to get hurt and use his rage and dex throwing his rage afraid to get up and close because he’ll be hurt, and the parallels between Nadeem and Matt’s father
One of the few well written comic book characters with one of the best and most iconic suits that everyone wants to make it look like a hockey pads in live action because reasons
Daredevil has crept his was into my top 5 of favorite marvel characters last year. After reading Frank Miller's run I'm a sucker for noir style stories and superheroes.
6:27 Theory: Considering Matt apperances in recent MCU projects (NWH and She Hulk), I think his new series "Born Again" will take inspiration from this run, with Matt trying be optmistic and move from the loss and traumas he suffered in the Netflix series. This would allow Matt to interact with other heroes and not feel to much out of place but also continue his development from the note the series ended. The title itself "Born Again" can easly have double meaning, not just reference to the comic (that was already used in the Netflix series) but also to symbolize Matt decision to change. It wouldn't surprise me if he gets scene in water (it could in rain or whim rising from waters after being defeated by villain) as the sun is rising, representing religious images of rebirth and re-batism
@@mickwoodfield9980 Daredevil is so much more than just a dark and brooding hero, it would be a disservice to Matt as a character to constantly be dark and moody, not that it's bad for him to be dark it's just in order for the character to be accurate all aspects and sides of him have to be explored.
@@mickwoodfield9980 Daredevil have other sides besides dark and brooding. He could try to be more optimistic, as showed in She Hulk, but, as usual, come across dark situations that test his dedication. The fact he is trying to be positive could result in his friends like Foggy and Karen questioning Matt behavior, asking if he truly wants to change or if he is trying to hide something from them.
@@Patrick-pc3vq Plus the character should change according to the story, showing the effects those events are having on him, otherwise the character becomes stagnated and unable to grow.

Daredevil quickly became my favorite last year. Everyone who asks me why I’m so feral for this character(both the comics and show) I want to show them this. It’s SO good.
It is really simple and no one brings it up...its just how characters talk to each other...you know, like actual people talk. That is 100% why this show is great (plus all the great action and themes)
Really excellent dialogue, yeah! Esp. the "avocados at law" scene. Cox and Henson sound like real people, with their smooth, swift line delivery and excellent acting. Avengers movies hae slower line delivery, with pauses to switch camera angles. That chops up the conversations and disengages the viewer a little bit. The Avengers viewer feels as though he is watching thru a glass wall; in Daredevil, the viewer feels as tho he is present in the scene himself.
How have Daredevil and Nightcrawler never teamed up in any significant way? You would think they would have a lot to talk about.
I would love to read then having that conversation over a pint.
@@Tyler_W I think it's actually kinda crazy that's never happened. At least not to my knowledge
Daredevil barely interacts with members of the x-men but i would love to see it
@@bihansiceclone that's weird since he is a lawyer and he lives around them
@@mandalorianhunter1 I’ve never seen the x-men in court or in hell’s kitchen
I never really cared for Daredevil growing up but when they made the Netflix show he quickly made it to my top 10. That show was the best thing to come out of the MCU
Daredevil and Spider-Man are my two favorite marvel superheroes
Same here
The Spider-Man comics is how I first met daredevil. I did later started reading him as a kid during Frank Miller’s run on the title. Been a fan ever since. While both guys are different, they’re also similar in a lot of ways too.
Same, Spider man is my 3rd and Daredevil is the 4th (the 2nd is Wally West and the 1st is Nightcrawler)
Same
They are the best marvel's characters
My favorite scene has to be when bullseye is dressed as daredevil and he’s going on a killing spree. Foggy seems relieved to see him but then notices something is terribly wrong, bullseye launched an escrima stick at foggys chest and at the last second the real daredevil dressed in his vigilante costume catches it, when I first saw that on Netflix I had to rewatch that exact scene like 10 or 20 times it was so sick😂
Despite being labelled by John Byrne as a derivative of Batman,Matt Murdock has carved out a unique character history,the saga of a flawed yet convicted hero. He’s more gritty than Bats,more realistic,more resourceful (relies less on expensive gadgets than Bats).
DD is indeed the tragic hero.
And he's so much more interesting than Batman
@@mistrkillbatman and his plot arnour u right
Daredevil is the reason batman became gritty
@@ajax3748 yep 👍
@@ajax3748Not really. Batman was gritty, dark and gothic long before Daredevil was created. It's just that the comic code authority came in the 40's and prohibited adult elements, which forced Batman into being campy and kid-friendly. Because of the Batman TV series, DC wanted to shake away the goofy Batman image and reintroduced dark Batman in 1971 with the introduction of the Ra's al Ghul saga.
Daredevil didn't become gritty until the 80's.
I've been a fan of the character since 1986. Daredevil gets knocked down, but gets back up eventually. Just like his father, he's a fighter.
I have cerebral palsy. I consider Matt Murdock an inspiration. He doesn't let his blindness stop him from helping others, and he deals with the problems of life.
My favorite scene from the Daredevil Netflix series has to be the conversations between Matt and Frank; two men locked in their ways trying to make each other see the light
Recently got to meet Charlie Cox himself at Fan X and got his autograph, very chill guy. Had probably the friendliest smile I've seen. safe to say meeting him was bucket list material for me.
literally the only marvel character I currently care about
Spider-Man? Deadpool? The Guardians?
Probably only cuz of the show tho
@@christaylor7916 people care about heroes thanks to most films or series. Like Iron Man and Spider-Man
@@imdavidanimations2018 Are you serious.... Spiderman was famous wayy before films. That's why Sony only cared ab getting spiderman instead of all marvel characters
@@xpflowexclusive4313 that not what my point was. I'm saying that Spidey got more popular with the public audience thanks to movies
Its so great seeing the appreciation of the Daredevil Series, it is a glass of the finest wine in the Marvel Movie/ TV pantheon. It’s been eight years and in the MCU still has difficulty dishing out any show that compares… The Daredevil comics have always been one of my favorites. Thank you for this video essay.
I’m so glad you made this because I knew Daredevil because of the 90’s Spider-Man cartoon and I thought “ This guy seems cool “. Then I watched the Netflix series ( really love season 1) , read some of the comics and now he is one of my favorite marvel superheroes. The Devil of Hells Kitchen is awesome.
That's how I was introduced to Daredevil too.
That's exactly what I did too, I saw him on the Spiderman show and thought "damn I wish this guy had his own show"
Great video man. Daredevil wasn't the first superhero I grew up with, but after watching the Netflix show and recently reading the comics I never felt the emotional connection of a character before. I'm hopeful the new show will emulate the Netflix version. Again great video
Charlie Cox is so amazing in this role. He could play this character in any genre and any story
I don’t know why, but I’ve been binge watching this show every year on Christmas Holiday.
Daredevil could EASILY be a villain
Much respect for him
Among the super heroes movies and series, Netflix Daredevil is always my #1. Cause he is a super hero but does not look super, he go out, get beat up and going home with cuts and bruises. Still he continue trying to make the city better, to help people. To me, he does not look like a super hero , he just look like a dude who just trying to do the right thing. Watching him struggle with morality. It all make him more relatable than others super heroes.
Man I’m gunna have to rewatch this now for the 4th time. Can’t believe they won’t bring back the same team for another season. This show was gold.
I forgot how amazing the netflix daredevil is I was watching it again and it's amazing
I've always really liked Daredevil but the recent zdarsky/checchetto run has been so phenomenal that he's my favorite marvel hero!
Watching season 2 of the show made me realize that I actually prefer Punisher as a Daredevil antagonist over having him as a stand-alone character. Not a knock on Frank Castle since he’s a super interesting character in his own right, but I’ve always lumped him in with typical revenge-seeking action heroes like John Wick. But making him a foil to someone who, unlike him, has held onto their morals despite tragedy is way more interesting to me and has way more story potential than just seeking out evil to put down. It’s a battle of ideologies on par with those of Batman and Joker, Superman and Lex Luthor, etc., but stands out from those by being more of a side rivalry to Matt’s real arch nemesis in the Kingpin. It’s why I’ve always wished that the Daredevil film from 2003 and the Punisher film from 2004 a) had both been much better than they were (though I have a soft spot for the latter), and b) had a shared sequel called Daredevil vs Punisher where we could see their rivalry in full flux. A trilogy of films that acts as a prototype MCU by building up the rivalry of two characters by giving them each their own film to shine before pitting them against each other.
Yes, I could have done without Elektra in Season 2. I just wanted to explore Frank more.
My own inclination is to side with Frank. Kill the bastards so they'll never hurt anyone ever again. Matt is a half-measure, but I watched an interesting video about this that stuck with me.
Frank is about results. Make the world a better place by removing the bad people in it. But Matt is about himself. He doesn't kill people not because they don't deserve to die, but because he refuses to corrupt his soul by crossing that line. One might even call him selfish.
That said, I love Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock. He's complicated, violent, dark, oddly funny, and eminently sympathetic. We all root for him.
@@E3ECO My interpretation of the no-killing rule, and this goes for any superhero, is that it’s as much about setting an example as it is about not corrupting one’s own soul. Both Daredevil and Batman are trying to do more than just take down bad guys. They’re trying to fix the broken cities that shaped them into who they are. Killing their villains would clean up the city faster and save more innocent lives in the short term, but teaching everyone else that the way to get results is to throw morality out the window and take the law completely into their own hands would only lead to chaos. But yeah, it does bother me too in cases like Under the Red Hood or No Way Home where they portray not wanting to get their hands dirty as the only reason why they won’t kill.
Daredevil from Netflix is a gem I’ll carry in my heart for the rest of my life along the lord of the rings and hobbit movies.
It’s a tale that is so immersive, so interesting, so deep yet so entertaining. A tale that changed me as a person, a tale that shapes who I am
The Daredevil/Punisher rooftop scene is the best scene in the best series!
Honestly I have to say while Charlie Cox (In both the Netflix series and She-Hulk) is easily the best version of Daredevil, I don’t think the 2003 film is as terrible as people say. The director’s cut rearranges the scenes to make for a more dramatic and well told story. The Kingpin in the film is awesome and while the costumes kinda suck, the performances aren’t terrible. It’s honestly better than I think people remember, maybe give it another chance if you haven’t seen it in awhile.
Same plus I think the film nailed the meaning behind Elektra death and Bullseye obsession with Daredevil much better than the show.
In the case of Elektra having her being killed by Bullseye reflects the idea of failure, with wounded Matt not being able to help her, setting up his final showdown against Bullseye. In the series she is killed by boring villain and her death didn't had the same impact.
Same goes for Bullseye,Colin Farrel nailed the insanity of the villain and him wanting to kill Daredevil out of pride, because the hero was the first to make him missed is understanble motivation. Netflix Bullseye never felt unstable compare to the film version nor the comics.
@@alexandrefrauches132 I always saw it as Netflix Bullseye holds himself back from becoming the comic accurate crazy Bullseye, since in the show it's definetely obvious he is sadistic and likes to hurt people but is aware he'll just get his ass in jail if he gives in to the lust he feels for killing and hurting people, so he holds himself back out of safety.
@@Patrick-pc3vq But this takes away the coold aspect of Bullseye that makes him so scary, he is insanity and unpredictability, to the point he is capable of going against his own boss to achive his personal goals.
I still think the MCU versions needs to show this side of the character. What happens when he doesn 't have anymore someone like Fisk to control him, when he is now a villain on his own and has no reason to hold back.
@@alexandrefrauches132 That's probably what would have been explored after season 3 of the show but the writers never got the chance to give us Dex as actual Bullseye.
you know what, I'll probably watch it again this weekend
I absolutely love how this show focuses on characters as much as the plot instead of focusing solely on the plot and making the characters one note like most marvel shows/movies nowadays
The very first line sells the whole concept.
I became a Daredevil fan because of the 2003 movie (whose Director's Cut I stand by). But the Bendis comics really solidified my fandom. And when this show came out, I fell in love with it. It was SOOOOOO good! Charlie Cox was perfect as Matt & I sure hope the MCU does right by him in "Born Again". Also, Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin was excellent casting. Same with Jon Bernthal as The Punisher. They're in the same league as JK Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson.
I do hope that Mister Fear becomes the villain in "Born Again" or some Daredevil production.
Bendis and Brubaker. They go hand in hand. Not to mention that Brubaker wrote one of my favorite arcs in The Devil in Cell Block D. The first season really feels like the Bendis and Brubaker runs even though none of the storylines from those runs made it into the show. Just the overall feel of it.
Great video! Daredevil is also one my favorites heroes (after Spider man, Wally West and, another religious one, Nightcrawler). One point I would add about the character that makes him so cool is his origin and relationship with his father. Unlike other super hero origins at the time, Daredevil origin highlights Matt's father relationship with his son, showing how he raised him,his own struggles, allowing us (readers) to know and connect with it, seeing where Matt morals and values came from, making his father death much more impactful compare to others like the Waynes or even Uncle Ben (the 60's version)
As kids we all want to be Spider Man, now as adults we all want to be Daredevil
Speak for yourself. I still want to be Spider-Man! Plus, I love having my vision.
I blind lawyer who’s a part time Superhero? No thanks, i think I’ll pass…
We don't want to be Daredevil... we just like him
I wouldn't mind either. Tho being Spider-Man would suck way more but being blind isn't great either
@@mider-spanman5577 when you get to know DD picking gunshots 50 blocks away and beating an entire cell of prisoners all by himself while being shot with sedatives. Yes we pity to speak for you anyway when you don't have any idea what an absolute human beast Matt Murdoch is
I really genuinely hope that Daredevil remains your favorite marvel character, and he definitely deserves to be even if he isn’t
Daredevil is probably one of the most thematically rich comic book characters of all time. He has been graced with some of the greatest comic book runs and graphic novels of all time and he has a kickass Netflix show. He has all these great elements including his religion, his occupation and his relationships with others that create a character with so much more depth than most other comic book heroes.
Spectacular video. Daredevil’s story opened my eyes to just how much being raised Catholic weighs into my daily anxiety and my desire to do more, while also being one of the best most unique, refreshing superheroes out there. Thank you for this!
Daredevil and Punisher's interactions are my favourite. Honestly I miss how epic and serious heroes could be. You really felt the stakes. It would be nice if they continued this trend with other characters because all the world ending stakes sometimes just feels so impersonal. Meanwhile DD is about the struggle of good and evil, which is actually more interesting.
DD is Marvel's Batman, minus all the resources. So even cooler.
The 2019 run is amazing, btw.
Also, DD is the reason the TMNT exist (begun as a gritty parody), so, there's that.
1:55 the binging 3 seasons in 5 days is so real lmaooo i just did the same exact thing and finished the show yesterday. already re watching it ngl
can’t believe i never even heard bout this show or watched it when it came out almost 10 years ago
Here’s an idea for your next video: The psychological impact of Venom.
Bruh i was just reading The Sensational Spiderman Issue #38 and was about to make the same recommendation! 😳
Venom is quite complex especially when you consider how the symbiote effects each host Peter Parker,Eddie Brock,Mac Gargan,Flash Thompson,Lee Price and Dylan Brock!
great video the netflix daredevil show made me become a big fan of the character but the breakdown you did of his character in the video made me understand him way better
One of my favorite characters in fiction...
A tragic, embattled hero...
Daredevil means a lot to me. I was introduced to him through the show, and have been enamored with matt ever since. The comics have only deepened that love. What an amazing character!
I love all of these videos about how great daredevil is, I don’t really understand much of it but I watched the Netflix series and loved it more than any other superhero show without knowing why. It’s fun to have all of this explained to me.
Daredevil.
Spider-Man.
Cyclops.
Even Superman.
Your tastes and passion and the reasons why in these 4 heroes is almost word-for-word why I have loved these heroes since childhood. Yes. Daredevil included. Now in my 30s, Daredevil is the perfect balance to an overly bright and optimistic worldview of a Superman fan.
You nailed it. 10/10.
Amazing video Daredevil is one of the most consistently well written character in all of comics he’s hardly had a bad comic and the same could be said for his show I can’t wait for Daredevil Born Again
Amazing video, very well done, spidey has always been my favorite but recently DD has been battling to take that place
The man at 5:41 , David Mack, is a wonderful artist. I discovered Daredevil through some of what he worked on, looked for more, and ended up really impressed with both his writing and art for the character.
Discovering that first issue lead me to discovering Macks creator owned work "Kabuki," which has become one of my all time favorite comics. I highly recommend it.
I often fantasise about what a season 4 of Netflix’s Daredevil would have been like before the inexcusable cancellation of this perfect show.
Obviously Poindexter would have been reborn as Bullseye, Daredevil’s most deadly villain, Matt would have reconnected with his mother which was already an interesting relationship before he found out about her identity, Murdoch, Nelson & Page would have got back together as a practice, Fisk would be absent but I bet The Owl would have made his debut as the new crime boss in town.
A much missed opportunity.
Thank you this makes me love Daredevil even more
I can praise the daredevil series for an hour... it's such an amazing piece of art
On a surface level, DD to me is like if Nightwing acted more like Batman. I don't mean when Dick actually becomes Batman but when he in his Nightwing outfit acts more like Bruce. Basically Nightwing who goes little extra harder.
That and they have similar outfits and weapons.
10:39 That movie was made during a time when hollywood was in love with the special effects and fight scenes from The Matrix and Crouching Tiger hidden dragon. They figured using that in every action or superhero movie would guarantee box office success.
I absolutely love the Daredevil show. It is a pretty unique show and I'm sad there wasn't more
"C'mon Matty, get to work."
I fucking love Daredevil. When I was young, I would always see him in those marvel character books, and I always wondered who he was. One day me and my dad were at some fast food place, and they had a section where they sold dvds. I saw the movie on the shelf and was amazed the dude I had no idea about had a whole movie. The movie itself is obviously not that good to put it nicely, but as a kid I absolutely loved it. When me and my dad went to buy comics for the first time, the first comic I picked out was a Daredevil comic.
The darsky run is so good, made me rewatch the show
1:44 *continues to speak*
I love daredevil to the point I read
-Frank miller run
-Bendis run
-Brubaker run
-Waid run and finally
-chip zdsarky run
These runs were absolute bangers.
Back in my sunday school days, our pastor would tell us to imagine God as the judge presiding over the trial of mankind, with the devil as the prosecutor, looking to make the case for humanity's guilt, while Jesus was the lawyer defending humanity. That metaphor added a whole dimension to my enjoyment of Daredevil when I first encountered the character.
the daredevil intro has been my ringtone for weeks now..
Love seeing a video that explores what makes Daredevil great and not ignoring Matt’s faith. It’s an essential part of his character. Cannot have Daredevil at his best without his faith
Daredevil is such a awesome hero and great video man :]
Daredevil & Spider-Man in a long hallway fight scene
As a young Catholic misfit, I was drawn to the Dare Devil. I note Matt Murdock is a Catholic, rather than “Christian,” which he is, but the distinction is vital. As referenced in the series. There is an exchange twixt Matt, and Claire who, after stitching him up, remarks how she is amazed by all he does describing his heightened senses, then on his ability to take an incredible beating, when Matt interjects “That last part, that is just being Catholic.”
I had to pause, because I just couldn’t stop laughing!
I'm personally obsessed with catholic theology. Daredevil was always one of my top 5s and his the way his faith interacts with the events of the stories is so compelling. It's tough to outrank DD as a character, he's just been handled so well over the years.
fantastic video bro! I'm gonna go back and re-watch daredevil all over again!
The thumb nail "why daredevil works?"
My Brain: To pay for things.....duh
I like your brain.
Daredevil comics are maybe the most consistently awesome of any title. Most titles have lots of ups and downs and have some weaker runs, but Daredevil always impresses. The Netflix show is easily some of the best superhero stories on screen (movies included). I didnt understand the character when I was a kid and only saw him in cartoons, but after the show came out and I started reading his comics he quickly became one of my favorites. Hoping the MCU doesnt screw him over though.
Daredevil is quite easily the best written Marvel character ever.
He's easily my 3rd favorite superhero of all time, up there with Spiderman and doctor strange.
In my case, he is my 4th favorite hero. The other three are
3 Spider Man (Peter Parker)
2 Flash (Wally West)
1 Nightcrawler
I’m beyond greatfull to Netflix and marvel for introducing me to this amazing character
I like Dr. Strange’s comeback to Mordeau when he’s told he needs to kill. He said “you lack imagination”. As a sorcerer, hero, and doctor that was such a fitting response to the utilitarian/“moral” view on killing.
Feel like Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Dr. Strange would make a nice lunch group.
AMAZING!! Daredevil is also my favorite and you must made him even more special with this vid.
I am an enormous Daredevil fan and the one thing that has amazed me is the creative teams the book has had. I have been so spoiled, how could I not love Matt Murdock?
daredevil is really the only one who faces the question of whether or not he should kill with his voices of reason telling him he SHOULD kill.
it's an interesting twist on the typical hero morality. most other heroes are praised/respected for refusing to kill, but he's treated as a coward, weak, ignorant.
Great video! I have been a Daredevil fan and collector for 40 years. He has always been my all-time favorite superhero. Your thoughts snd insight were fantastic. Much to think about. Thanks.
When i was a kid, i loved the daredevil movie with Ben Affleck (i was a kid okay), loved the character, a blind guy that is stronger than so many people, so much cooler, i was like 😮
And then the netflix show made me say "okay, i was right when i was a child, Daredevil is one of my favorite super heroes".
I want to look at it more but I am fascinated with Daredevil in Spider Gwen's solo run. In her earth he is Kingpin's Lawyer, he gave up his good and sold his soul and that is fascinating when you look at how much he time he spends trying to not go down the wrong path
Daredevil as a character and as a show is amazing.
Daredevil is the best live action marvel thing of all time
Daredevil has the best Marvel comics and best Marvel live action superhero production ever
I think season 2 is the best of the show personally. It’s about pushing Matt to his breaking point and that’s exactly what it does, leaving season 3 to start with him at his lowest and end with him at his highest. He has to deal with Punisher, Elektra, and Sticks’s ideology that challenges his own as the city is not becoming safer under his watch and his life is increasingly falling apart. The pacing is fast and the fight scenes are the best of the show, which makes it my personal favorite season.
I respect your opinion, S2 is a ton of fun. I believe S1 is the best but it’s refreshing to see someone talking about something other than S3 which is the worst season.
@@ultranova05 Season 3 I still fantastic, but I agree it’s definitely the worst of the 3 seasons
I will always associate daredevil with charlie cox he IS daredevil and nothing will ever change that for me
Great video!!! Daredevil is in my top 5 heroes of all time.
Daredevil is such a good character and the show is one of my favourites especially the third season, the similarities between dex and matt both having been abandoned and throughout the show how matt slowly becomes like dex the only thing that stops him is not killing, even the way they fight matt always up and close not afraid to get hurt and use his rage and dex throwing his rage afraid to get up and close because he’ll be hurt, and the parallels between Nadeem and Matt’s father
The best, the man, the goat, Matt Murdock is so much more interesting than ANY other marvel hero…
I should hope you also watched Defenders, considering it takes place between Season 2 and 3 of Daredevil and is kinda essential lmao
People don't just think of Charlie Cox and The Daredevil Netflix Series. They think about the comics and every other version of the character.
One of the few well written comic book characters with one of the best and most iconic suits that everyone wants to make it look like a hockey pads in live action because reasons
Daredevil has crept his was into my top 5 of favorite marvel characters last year. After reading Frank Miller's run I'm a sucker for noir style stories and superheroes.
I just finished watching Daredevil season 3 and I gotta say, it's the best Marvel show in my opinion out of all of the MCU/Defenders shows.
6:27 Theory: Considering Matt apperances in recent MCU projects (NWH and She Hulk), I think his new series "Born Again" will take inspiration from this run, with Matt trying be optmistic and move from the loss and traumas he suffered in the Netflix series. This would allow Matt to interact with other heroes and not feel to much out of place but also continue his development from the note the series ended.
The title itself "Born Again" can easly have double meaning, not just reference to the comic (that was already used in the Netflix series) but also to symbolize Matt decision to change. It wouldn't surprise me if he gets scene in water (it could in rain or whim rising from waters after being defeated by villain) as the sun is rising, representing religious images of rebirth and re-batism
But I would still like that dark and edgy version of daredevil. Not that ur idea isn’t good
@@mickwoodfield9980 Daredevil is so much more than just a dark and brooding hero, it would be a disservice to Matt as a character to constantly be dark and moody, not that it's bad for him to be dark it's just in order for the character to be accurate all aspects and sides of him have to be explored.
@@mickwoodfield9980 Daredevil have other sides besides dark and brooding. He could try to be more optimistic, as showed in She Hulk, but, as usual, come across dark situations that test his dedication.
The fact he is trying to be positive could result in his friends like Foggy and Karen questioning Matt behavior, asking if he truly wants to change or if he is trying to hide something from them.
@@Patrick-pc3vq Plus the character should change according to the story, showing the effects those events are having on him, otherwise the character becomes stagnated and unable to grow.
Mark waid was surprisingly a breath of fresh air, hopefully they use it as an inspiration for MCU
Daredevil season 3 is genuinely my favourite superhero media ever made
25:04 I haven't watched any of your videos before, but I clicked on this one because I'm a Daredevil fan. Imagine my surprise when I saw the Doctor pop up!
