Daredevil, the Man Without Fear!

Just finished watching the entire season, and I must say that it was amazing! It's one of the best shows that Netflix has ever spewed out (then again Marvel is behind this). The setting, the characters, and everything is perfectly represented, from Matt Murdock to Wilson Fisk. Everything is done perfectly, and are kept faithful to its source material.

I am not the biggest Daredevil fan, I mean I liked Daredevil, thought that he was one if not the best street level hero in Marvel excluding Spider-man. But this series has made me look at the character a bit more, from his origin and life as a lawyer. Unlike other heroes, Daredevil is the most vulnerable. He doesn't have any powers aside from his heightened senses, he doesn't own guns like the Punisher since like Batman he has a moral code which is supported by his Catholic faith. In the series, its demonstrated by how vulnerable he is every time he heads out to be a hero, he gets pummeled, beaten, cut and stuff. But he endures through it all, because he loves his city and the people in it, and he would do anything to protect it. Even give up his own life. When the Avengers are out there fighting aliens and the like, Daredevil is there in the streets, in the meat of it all...doing what he does best, being the man with no fear.

But what is a good hero without a great villain? Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin. The opposite of what Daredevil stands for, the Kingpin wants to destroy Hell's Kitchen to rebuild it in his image. Everything he does is calculative, smart and smooth, especially with his allies and resources. He has a great backstory in how he became the ruthless yet complicated man he is by the series.

The supporting characters are really well done as well, Foggy Nelson, Karen Page and the others are kept relevant and integral to the overall plot. They aren't pushed aside for the main character to shine, they have their own stories and own events that contribute to the main story which is basically Daredevil vs. the Kingpin.

The series is very well done, the violence has significance since this is the underbelly of the MCU, no Avengers here to keep the story lighter. Just a lone hero that fights the city's worst and most corrupt. I can't wait for the next series that Marvel has in stored for Netflix.

What is it with blind characters and awesomeness?

I liked the show. And I have always loved Daredevil. He got really screwed in the comics because he never got any good villains. The only have decent ones were shared with Spider-man mostly.

Yeah, he had to share Kingpin with Spidey. The only villains that mattered were part of the Hand.

Yeah. I kinda hope that they could at least introduce an original arch enemy for him. Kinda like The Arkham Knight for Batman: Arkham Knight, or whatever.

I know the first season is supposed to lead into some team up with Power Man, Iron Fist, and whoever, but I really hope they continue with just Daredevil afterwards.

Oh I really hope so too, Daredevil is so freakin cool. I also hope that Iron Fist is done well too.

Yeah, Iron Fist is cool. I gotta say, the Ultimate Spider-man with Drake Bell, was a well done cartoon, and they have him in it. I sorta really want something like that, just more fighting and live action.

I've only seen the first episode so far but I already love the fact that the fight scenes are better than everything else on tv.

I'm hoping for the classic Iron Fist and not the Ultimate Spider-man one. :/

Eh, I don't really know anything at all about Iron Fist other than the ultimate spider-man one. Classic could be better, idk. If it's good they can base it on whatever.
