Absolutely perfect analysis. I do hope Bullseye shows up in Echo, and then Born Again and hopefully Thunderbolts. Wilson Bethel’s portrayal as Dex is one of the best live action performances of a comic book villain ever. And it’d be so cool to see how Dex has gone more insane in the seven years (MCU time) since we last saw him. Great work!

I wouldn't have faith in current day Disney. Their apparently recasting bullseye and Elektra.

[@bullseyelover]

@@ultamatejoker8282 Those are just rumors, they haven’t come from reliable sources and nobody has or will confirm them. Daredevil is canon. Don’t believe every single little thing you see on the internet.

@@bullseyelover Thats why I said "apparently". Elektra being a recast is already a 100% confirmation. Like cmon this is the company that made she-hulk.

It’s ironic that he was grateful for Fisk giving him the chance to be himself when the job he’s given is to pretend to be someone else

[@damianstarks3338]

Dex was the perfect antithesis for Matt in the 3rd season of daredevil Netflix I am still pissed to this day that they canceled this show and I am even more pissed that Disney plus took daredevil off of Netflix along with the other marvel Netflix shows. Plus I just subscribed to your channel.

Dex was a madman and that was way before fisk come to the picture

One of the greatest villain origin stories.. 🤩

[@Crimson28]

YES!!! Bullseye is the Joker to Daredevil’s Batman and the Green Goblin to DD’s Spider-Man. He’s such a violent psychopath, he asked Kingpin for work because he got bored killing people for fun in the comics 🎯

Perfect comparisons in the first part of your comment couldn’t agree more with you.

[@blackbatman3152]

More like Two Face

[@robangus7575]

@@blackbatman3152 In terms of the overall franchise yes Bullseye is closer to Two-Face as they are both the secondary archenemies of the hero but in terms of characteristics and personalities he is much closer to the Joker while I would relate the Kingpin to someone like Carmine Falcone

[@jeepamir508]

Dex is always shown to be cold blooded and collected, but if you provoke him a little bit, he'll turn into a Patrick Bateman and you'll become Paul.

[@Sasha8770]

This version of Bullseye is more insecure, than the original.

[@ЕгорФомичев-ю3щ]

...Honestly, you should really think about covering Edward Norton's character from Primal Fear. Just an extremely well executed (not to mention well acted) character who appears to be an absolute maestro when it comes to psychological/emotional manipulation. Really curious to see your take on him. EDIT: apart from that, here's a few other suggestions for future episodes (each with their own "sub-title" as well): - Hans Landa from Inglorius Basterds (ruthless opportunism); - Captain Vidal from Pan's Labyrinth (the man with the iron heart); - Colonel Walter E. Kurtz from Apocalypse Now (when terror becomes the norm); - William Cutting a.k.a Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York (virtues of the vicious); - Erik Stevens a.k.a Killmonger from Black Panther (when ends do not justify the means); - Commodus from Gladiator (an empire built on vanity); - The Governor from The Walking Dead (tyranny fueled by fear); - Idi Amin from The Last King of Scotland (friend to some, monster to others); - Francis Dollarhyde from Hannibal Lecter universe (mind as a prison); - John Kramer and his apprentices from the Saw franchise (enlightenment through agony); - Arthur Fleck from The Joker (guided by pain, reborn in chaos); - Tony Montana from Scarface (toughest nail in his own coffin). Either way, I really appriciate the sheer quality of your analyses, underrated as they might be. Keep up the great work)

After rewatching the fight scene between Daredevil and Bullseye from season 3, I noticed that not only did the Bullseye actor look More like comic book accurate Daredevil than Charlie Cox did in the costume. During the fight, the Daredevil impostor did comic book accurate Daredevil Moves using the Ricochet method, with his Billy-club and a Baseball, that Frank Miller did in the comics!! Each time he hit Matt with a ricochet throw I yelled out, "That's a Daredevil move!!" Especially with the baseball throw! How did Bullseye hit what he Couldn't see? 😅

[@theilluminatibenefactor]

Netflix's Daredevil: Season 3 did a perfect job making us fear and feel sympathetic for Benjamin Poindexter/Bullseye (Wilson Bethel).

[@UndeadNerdT800]

I watched season 3 for the first time recently. What a perfect time to announce his return.

This man needs to return as bullseye or im gonna figure out out to be a hollywood producer

[@ianmpena]

I hope he comes back as bullseye in the mcu

[@LightStreak567]

He will in Daredevil Born Again Season 1, haven't you heard? And Wilson Bethel will return to play as him too. Sources already confirmed that Daredevil and the other MCU Netflix shows are indeed canonical in the MCU, Daredevil Season 1 and Jessica Jones Season 1 happening after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol1 and Vol2 and before Avengers Age of Ultron, Daredevil Season 2 and Luke Cage Season 2 both happening after Ant-Man, Iron Fist Season 1 beginning in the Chinese New Year of 2016 five days after Stephen Strange's car accident in Doctor Strange (Sources confirm that the car accident happened in February 2nd 2016), The Defenders happening after Captain America Civil War, Black Panther and Black Widow, The Punisher Season 1 happening after Spider-Man Homecoming sometime in November 2016, Jessica Jones Season 2, Luke Cage Season 2, Iron Fist Season 2, Daredevil Season 3 and The Punisher Season 2 and Jessica Jones Season 3 are a year to less than a month before Avengers Infinity War and Ant-Man and The Wasp

@@LightStreak567 good I hope we get to see daredevil carved the bullseye symbol on his head just like the comics because bullseye kills Karen

[@LightStreak567]

@@ianmpena He still has the old version of Matt's Daredevil suit by the end of Season 3, which is why Matt made his new Daredevil suits he got from that guy in LA in She-Hulk Attorney At Law yellow and red colored, in case he and Dex cross paths again, people will know the real Daredevil is the one in red and yellow, not the fully red one, but I believe Dex can make his Bullseye comic book suit out of the old fully red Daredevil suit he used in Daredevil Season 3, all he has to do is paint the suit and helmet black, cut off the horns, and paint a white bullseye on the helmet to get the comic accurate Bullseye suit

[@tylerlarson7263]

Marvel and Disney will bring back Wilson Bethel as Bullseye but in a comic book accurate costume. They'll have Bullseye as the main villain Daredevil: Born Again but one they should is retcon the ending of the last season of the Netflix show and Daredevil brake Bullseye's back like in the comics and have his repaired spine be laced with adamantium like the comics. Bullseye is DD's arch enemy and he's obessed with ruining Matt Murdock's so hopefully Disney makes Bullseye a combination of Joker and Deadshot.

Fisk having Julie killed is still probably the most horrifying moment I’ve ever seen on a TV show. I can’t even find the right words to explain why, bc anyone whose seen the scene/show can probably understand why I think that

[@okthen3583]

It’s because Julie’s death envokes a deep feeling of sonder. A girl with an entire life of her own killed because of factors she didn’t even know about

[@ddpzzp553]

I think is also bc of the way the scene is framed and how fast it happens, is not a dramatic framed death she an innocente snapped in a second and dicthed in a freezer
