"Matt Murdock is insufferable" so you hate hot men with flavor, a great ass and princess waist that saves lives?
a matt and steven/marc/jake friendship where he’s so jealous that they can actually communicate with their god.
how are we thinking matt explained his scars to heather? or do we think she hasn’t asked? i assume she thinks he got them growing up in the orphanage or something but idk.
Me every time Matt calls Karen Ms Page
daredevil born again episode 8 spoilers!!
HOLY SHIT?
-the “Fuck You” at the prison
-the bullseye tooth thing
-the “you’re starting to worry me on a professional level”
-the Josie scene
-the ending
-so many other parts
this episode was a masterpiece and i’m so excited for the next one
every episode has me even more impressed by and grateful for this man. he really is The Matt Murdock. he carries so hard.
This is facts and I really need some respect placed on Charlie's name, he is the lifeblood of this franksteined season and is doing a lot of the work to make it compelling and worthwhile to watch.
And his range! In the last episode alone, his comedic timing on his response to the Skrull line, his charm when he was negotiating with the prosecutor, and then his heart-wrenching delivery during his conversation about Foggy.
His performance as Matt this season is like his excellence in the Netflix show but on steroids since he needs to do a lot more carrying for a show with a troubled production. I can write a whole 100000 word essay on the nuances of his acting in these 4 episodes so far. He's so good.
Like what this tweet says. He's making a lot of silly-sounding dialogue seem so earnest and believable, that's talent.
Just a Charlie Cox acting appreciation post because man he deserves one
now that the daredevil fandom is back up and swinging, i’m seeing a lot of ship discourse.
“that scene was all about mattfoggy, how could anyone think it’s fratt?”
“if they try to make karedevil a thing i’m going to riot”
“kastle is obviously better than karedevil”
personally, i think they should all just be allowed to kiss each other.
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.
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.
