can’t wait for matt, karen and frank to kiss each other on the mouths and for foggy to be alive!
I can’t believe that Matt Murdock, Karen Page, and Frank Castle had an onscreen threesome in the season one finale of Daredevil: Born Again…
charlie cox is so unbelievably good as matt murdock. no matter my thoughts or feelings about anything else to do with born again, this will always remain the ultimate truth and i will always come back for him.

ddba episode 9 tonight!
can’t wait for matt, karen and frank to kiss each other on the mouths and for foggy to be alive!
Matthew Michael Murdock really just said "the key to stopping an armed robbery is to have fun and be yourself."
"In another life, you may be defending me. That's what a good man does. Defends his worst enemy" you don't fucking understand how hard that line goes when you know that Dex isn't Matt's worst enemy. Fisk is. And Matt defended his worst enemy. Because that's what a good man does
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.
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
matthew murdock thinks his life is less valuable than fisk’s.
someone needs to sedate me immediately.
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
my matt murdock fixation literally ate the entire month of march.
they should make words that can properly communicate The Feeling of when youre thinking about The Character and its.
^these dont even fully express it. its insaner. they need to make a word for it
once again calling upon my knowledge of catholicism (learnt from watching daredevil), to pray for the return of Karen Page in the next episode. amen.
i watched that part and audibly sighed with disappointment. there were so many ways they could’ve done that better. literally almost anything would’ve been better.
That whole thing with Matt feeling the painting and knowing it was Heather was just weird.
When we first saw all the drawings of Heather I gasped because I thought he wouldn't be able to tell what they were drawings of so even though the warning was right there in his hands Matt wouldn't know Heather was in danger. It felt like in horror movies where the killer is revealed to the audience but not the characters and we can only watch from the edge of our seats as the protagonists piece things together. That would have been so much better.
But no, he ran his fingers over the sketches and somehow knew it was Heather? Even if the paintings were textured, that's not how paint works. I don't know a lot about being blind, but even if Matt could tell the sketches were a face just by feeling the brushstrokes, I don't think Matt could've realized it was Heather's face specifically.
If Muse had made like. A sculpture of Heather. That would've made sense. But his other art seems pretty stylized, so even that might have been a stretch.
matt murdock coded
matt: it’s okay, i can fight my way out of this
heather: matt, no
Matt: Yes I realize I have not processed any of my childhood trauma or my adult trauma. No I'm not gonna do anything about it
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
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
the new daredevil episode (7) just made me overwhelmingly sad.
He’s lying and hiding things again and it’s hurting him so much and it’s hurting heather so much and kristen and cherri too, and i’m sad about it.
i thought the scene with heather talking to him about his trauma and then them saying i love you was really sweet, and it hurts that it doesn’t feel real for him. i bet she’s going to figure it out soon though. (or die, idk)
him putting on the glasses as soon as the conversation got serious was a good nod to how he only knows how to rely on his masks.
i hope we can get a smidge of happiness in the next episode at least. don’t get me wrong i know the show is supposed to be a matt murdock whumpfest, and i love it, but i need a bit of happy or silly matt just to keep me going, ya know?
(even the shower scene, while hot asfuck, was sad. it was clearly him distracting her from the bruises so he could wait to talk about it when he wasn’t cornered)
a little karen sketch
manifesting her return next episode
Matt Murdock strolling into a bank robbery whistling cheerfully, acting confused about what's happening, and then accusing the robbers of ableism when they try to release him is everything I've ever wanted. No more dark and edgy shit I just want twenty more episodes of this
Daredevil: Born Again Excessive Force | 1.06
i continue to be extremely impressed by the way daredevil: born again handles the arc involving police corruption. first it was the cops with the punisher tattoos and frank’s obvious and explicit dislike of them, and now the whole thing with fisk’s anti-vigilante task force? explicitly including commentary on how special privileges for this task force include not having to use body cameras, when this is something that comes up in police corruption IRL, is so… it’s so important. it’s a conversation that needs to be had and by god they’re having it.
this show is literally telling us how this kind of behavior is evil. it’s being the opposite of subtle. it doesn’t cut corners. it’s so rare to get a big-budget production from a company like disney that actually says things of value, and for it to be something as current and polarizing and important as the corruption in the police force? i’m shocked. pleasantly so, but shocked nonetheless.
not to mention the way there’s actually heavy-handed critiques of the justice system itself. the arcs with hector ayala and leroy mancini serve to emphasize the privilege people like matt have in a system that’s designed to disadvantage people. matt might be the hero in the story but he’s not innocent in upholding the shitty laws and regulations that are put in place to keep other people down.
it’s such a clear portrayal of the corruption that permeates every level of the justice system from the ground up and society as a whole and the fact that it’s a fucking disney+ show??? i’m kind of in awe.
The instantaneous flip from grief to happiness when Heather walks in. He's finding having a therapist girlfriend so useful guys.
frank castle having a civilized interview with a therapist is objectively the funniest thing i can imagine.
this episode had everything I love. matt being competent. using people's perceptions of him to his advantage. being a little shit. thigh murder incapacitation. secret skills. accent shenanigans. gratuitous cameos. no wilson fisk.
