Daredevil: Born Again

I watched all the season of netflix Daredevil and the punisher show after watching them my expectations are bit high and they delivered a good show but not good as OG netflix series. Daredevil born again have many flaws In which they have to work for next season.

But I am glad that new creative team who made episode 1,8,9 really saved the show from becoming another Marvel's mediocore and they are also making season 2 so I am very excited for next season. After facing many problems while the production of this show they really made a solid thing not good as netflix Daredevil but definitely a very Great tv show by marvel after Loki.

I really loved the performance of Charlie cox and Vincent D'Onifrio. Jon bernthal and wilson bethel really nailed their role and I am glad Deborah Ann woll is back as Karen page But they have to improve many things in upcoming season 2 of Daredevil Born again.

Like CGI, choppy fight scenes with to many cuts, rushed episodes, no character development of side characters , Length of episode is very small and I really felt that they wasted Muse.

But I guess marvel is back with their bangers projects so we can believe in marvel and the new creative team. Season 2 will be fire🔥.

Sorry for bad grammer english is not my primary language.

From any other company this would just be ok, but I have to grade Disney on a curve because they disappoint so often. D'Onofrio is a treasure as Kingpin. Cox was solid. (Warning a sort of spoiler is coming). I really miss Foggy and could use more of Karen. Bullseye is a wild miss, one of the best comic villains with a true style and they made him bland as hell. Apparently there will be a second season so hopefully the action will pick up some. I also hear we will get more of the Netflix heroes which would be very welcome. As a 66 year old comic fan, it's nice that Disney finally got something right. Keep the classic characters coming and lose Echo, Ironheart, Agatha and Ms. Marvel, all Disney inventions.

I didn't see the original Daredevil series, so at times I wasn't totally sure what was going on or who certain characters were. But even without that background, Born Again held my interest and delivered a decent experience.

The show has its ups and downs-some episodes feel strong and well-paced, others drag or get lost in slower subplots. Still, it's better than a lot of recent Marvel content. It doesn't reach the heights of Deadpool & Wolverine, Guardians of the Galaxy, or Loki, but it's a noticeable step up from many of the weaker MCU shows.

Overall, it's a solid watch with a darker tone and a more grounded approach. If you're into street-level heroes or just looking for something a little more serious in the Marvel universe, it's worth checking out-even if you're new to the character like I was.

Daredevil: Born Again was announced several years ago, shortly after the character's cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Since then, this series has undergone a very troubled and very long production. Several episodes of the original show, which had no connection to the Netflix Daredevil beyond a few central actors, were filmed before a massive creative overhaul was ordered. This led to reshoots and revisions, turning the show into a sequel to the Netflix installment.

All this to say, it's clear that Born Again is two shows stitched together. Especially with the first episode, which squeezes probably a good two or three episodes work of plot into one in a desperate attempt to introduce the new elements of the show and refit the original story. This is the show's main problem, along with some of the elements of what would appear to be the original ideas not being very interesting or fitting with the tone of the reshot material. One story is a procedural drama, the other is Daredevil Season 4. Also brought with this new direction are a couple questions, such as how did Kingpin get out of jail after Season 3, and how does the whole Hawkeye/Echo story fit into all this?

Despite this, and some poor use of new characters (the villain Muse in particular), there is still a lot to love. Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, Wilson Bethel, Jon Bernthal, and Ayelet Zurer play their characters just as well as ever. Cox and D'Onofrio in particular are extraordinary. Kingpin running for mayor leads to great suspense, as you keep waiting for the moment he'll crack and return to his old ways. When he finally gives in, it results in the single most brutal scene I've ever seen from a Marvel or DC property. I thought I was watching The Boys for a second.

Despite some tonal whiplash, Born Again is without a doubt some of Marvel's best post-Endgame content, and I look forward to Season 2, where a singular vision from the show's creative team will hopefully fix most of Season 1's issues.

'Daredevil: Born Again' had a rocky start to its creation, but it pulled off a rather impressive season to continue the incredible Netflix series. It has its faults and flaws, but it really hit its stride towards the end giving us a solid season overall. Charlie Cox is still an incredible Matt/Daredevil, while Vincent D'Onofrio shows why he is the one and only choice for Kingpin. Season 1 ends with a pretty explosive setup for season 2 that definitely left us wanting more.

In the end, 'Daredevil: Born Again' moved our characters forward from the Netflix series into its own MCU world with heart, drama, action, and some of the most brutal violence we've seen in a Marvel property.
