doing a quick drawing of matt murdock to try and quell the all consuming thoughts of him. it is not working 🫡
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.
-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 a bit 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.
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
objectively i understand why kirsten and heather didn’t believe matt when talking about vanessa being responsible for foggy’s death (they’ve been watching him actively spiral for the last few months) but karen just taking him for his word had me soooo emotional
Matt smile challenge (impossible)
I went to a family reunion today and had such a strange time?
i’m a tattoo apprentice and i have visible tattoos. it was absolutely wild how many times people just fully grabbed me to look at my tattoos without asking? I felt like i was being passed around like a side show attraction.
idk maybe it’s just me, but i don’t think having art on your skin gives someone the right to yoink your body parts for their inspection?
weird behavior tbh
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?
ok… imagine a moon knight and daredevil crossover where dd has no issues fighting the invisible jackals because the dude cant see shit anyway. moon knight is like “you can see them??” and matt, not wanting to reveal his blindness but having no idea theyre invisible, is just like “yeah i can see of course i can see”
moon knight then assumes dd is an avatar of an egyptian god. bc what else? so, naturally, moon knight asks “what god do you serve?”
“jesus”
“what??”
“im catholic?”
“what???”
forgot how pornographic matt’s groaning is in Nelson v. Murdock.
charlie cox, the man that you are.
Me every time Matt calls Karen Ms Page
