Review: i feel like this season of ddba was DEFINETLY an improvement from the first season, but is still behind the original show in almost all aspects. ep4 was the only episode that REALLY did it for me (/pos) i thought that was great and had terrific symbolism (also good that they got rid of the IDF actor but you didnt hear that from me)
anyway despite this i feel like this season showed how media literacy is dead since they HEAVILYY focused on aura points and short-but-sweet action pieces that WERE good but the actual plot was so ass, and sometimes they just did things for the pure reason of "it looks cool" rather than what actually makes sense which just takes away from the atmosphere whilst watching, it makes me feel not fully immersed in the show which just kills the mood. i also feel like there was no daredevil/matt murdock in his OWN show, it was so incredibly focused on the other characters, but even those felt heavily lackluster and nothingburger. they also completely changed karens entire personality lmfao, instead of making her her OWN person they just made her an attachment to matt which is so fucking undermining, especially during the finale when it was HER FUCKING TRIAL yet it just was not about her. at all. i did like the finale trial though since it was just mm grilling the fuck outta fisk (rightfully so, deserved) but everything after that was so. poorly written. genuinely insane how the fisk/mm conversation was ENTIRELY carried by vincent and charlies incredible acting and raw emotion they both put into it
honestly the season was not that bad though, but it really suffered from having shorter episodes and being hardstuck on an 8-episode run, which was much the same with the first season, there is SO MUCH going on at all times that as the viewer you just cant breathe, i also dont really think the action scenes were all that great? idk. mainly from the editing department, do we really need cuts every 0.5 seconds? back to the finale, when matt 'proved' he was dd with his cane, the cuts fully ruined that whole reveal for me, i could see the vision but it did not do well
can next season bring foggy back and also make kirsten actually be the badass character she is in the comics. i HATE how they treated her. she was so incredibly sidelined which is FINE but like holy fuck dude, we dont even get a scene of her reaction to finding out matt is dd? did she even know before the trial? if not then thats actually shitty, she shouldve known beforehand and it just leads back to them making mm genuinely such an unlikeable narcassistic character that does not give a fucking shit about anyone. i tried so hard defending him during this season because yeah he had FLAWS but so does everyone!!! but god, i think dario just does not know how to write matt murdock, and i think its also partially due to the absence of foggy, its just ruining matt as a person.
now an important piece - the ENDING. like ok. sure. lets have the HERO go to fucking prison, get disbarred and have his personal life completely and utterly ruined whilst the villian lives happily on vacation, its so dumb? but also kinda poetic in a way, despite HOW unsatisfying it is -- also of course the elephant in the room, daredevils big reveal in court. NOW, firstly, i dont understand much about the legal system, but how was he allowed to do allat? how did they not immediately get a mistrial? how did the judges let matt continue that far? whatever i could just be fucking stupid (most likely) but YEAH MATTS REVEAL. ok so there was clear inspiration from the waid run, and how matt revealed he was dd under oath, but still some twists n stuff to make it different enough. now what i dont like about this reveal other than just general annoyance at yet another anonymous superhero getting their fucking SECRET IDENTITY REVEALED wowwww how creative (die). anyway the thing that made waids run fine with dds reveal was that were WAS build up and most of the public just assumed/sussed out that matt was infact daredevil, it wasnt much of a secret and the surprise mostly came from his admittance since there was no solid evidence, whilst mcus reveal felt so rushed with no buildup or even purpose to his reveal, since ultimately fisk is fucking free and thriving even without vanessam, i really just dont see many positives to it. it felt like a way to try and staple karedevil as endgame, which would honesttly make me so mad if they did take that route, i love independant karen, and i miss nelson, murdock and page. so much.
some pluses i guess since this review has been really negative - i loved how they showed the progression of buck and daniel, ddtwt claiming them as "evil matt and foggy" is actually so perfect, and it made it that much better that buck killed daniel honestly, gave it some actual emotion and you could see that daniel was genuinely torn over the prospect of killing him. also obviously the acting, holy fuck man, incredible acting from everyone. ALSO POWELL. god i fucking hate that BITCH but holy fuck he was written well, i havent hated a character the way i hated him since kilgrave, genuinely fantastic writing, development and execution by the actor. i also lovedddd the suit, hopefully we keep the DDs because theyre AWESOMEE, and the battle wear/tear that slowly reveals the red underpaint, its such a nice detail. ALSO i love the whole parallels between nyc political state during ba and the current state of america, its so obvious that fisk is trump, his supporters are maga fuckers and the AVTF is just ICE, i love the whole theme of citizen rebellion, but they didnt play on it nearly enough as i wished they would but whatever, another thing of "if only we had more episodes!"
