DAREDEVIL: SEASON 1 - An Angry Prayer for Justice

An analysis of Netflix's "Daredevil" Season 1 and how its themes of violence and justice filtered through the Catholicism of Matt Murdock and the deadliness of Wilson Fisk show us what it takes to stop evil without condemning your own soul.

The Netflix Daredevil series was the one adaptation that manage to get the characters, the plot, the background and the environment right and it was brilliant. It's really sad now that it was stupidly cancelled after three successful seasons and a crossover series.

[@evanrailman7898]

[@yeemcgee8149]

"Its not just because of the boy. I'm doing this because I enjoy it" - This line perfectly encapsulates Matt Murdock's motivations to put his body on the line to fight crime in the night. The sheer thrill of violence makes him feel alive. Sure, he wants to ensure that no innocents have to suffer like he did, but he enjoys it as well.

9:19, The capacity for guilt and shame being the focus on what truly divides Matt and Wilson rather than their lethality or the extent of their extralegal activities is a welcome perspective. Even Matt and Frank have more dividing them than their methods, as what truly separates them is Matt’s compassion and subsequent restraint contrasted against Frank’s utter surrender ro his hatefulness and use of violence as an indulgence to escape his grief and feelings of powerlessness at the loss of his family. And in the end, it’s Matt’s humility and ability to accept his failures towards his friends, his fear of loss, his use of religion as a feeble excuse to vent his rage on socially acceptable targets that saves Daredevil from succumbing to the same rage, hatred, despair and pride that consumed Wilson and Frank. Matt’s will and virtue prevail and his faith is renewed stronger than before.

Sure. Bible on violence. Bible on violence. Bible on violence. Condemns on one hand. Praises on the other. Demands on another( What is the penalty for almost every " crime" in the old Testament? I'll give you a hint, it rhymes with kill them). Its all over the place on the evil or value of violence. Almost like it was written by several different humans, instead of one celestial being.

[@Xehanort10]

14:29 Foggy was the only character of the 3 mains I didn't like. His constant "Matt you shouldn't be Daredevil" speeches got on my nerves. And there were times when he seemed really greedy to the point where he was willing to defend people he knew were guilty just to get some extra money. Innocent means you haven't done any horrible things or committed a serious crime but the "genius" Mr Nelson thought it meant anyone who hadn't been convicted of a crime which by his logic would mean a serial killer who'd killed loads of people but hadn't been convicted of it would somehow mean that said killer was innocent of those murders even though he wouldn't have been. Convicted or not he'd be guilty.

This show is an absolute masterpiece. Brilliant adaptation of a brilliant character. Charlie Cox captures the dichotomies raging within Matt Murdock so perfectly.

Also, fantastic analysis, as ever, Matt.

[@ravenous2650]

I'm mostly a DC fan (Love the batman videos!), but Daredevil is easily my favorite Marvel hero, and I'm loving the Darecember theme!

[@johnathonhaney8291]

There's a followup to this in Season 2 through Matt's interactions with Frank Castle. Frank is the kind of man Matt could have become if he ever killed and Castle knows how horrifying that is. So when Matt starts talking about killing just one time, Frank takes the choice out of his hands to save him...possibly in a way Frank wishes someone had done with him.

[@johnathonhaney8291]

@Daredevil Lebron He did...and then later he shoved Matt off that boat before Matt could follow through on that brilliant idea to kill "just one time" (which it never is). You'll also notice Frank wanted Matt to let him handle it, not for the latter to imitate the former. The message from Frank is crystal clear: no one with a chance to be better than him follows him down the same road.

“Can one man make a difference? There are times when I believe in, and to others when I lost all faith.” - Matt Murdock (Daredevil)

[@DeltaAssaultGaming]

It really did pretty much everything right. It got the action right. It got the characters right. It got the romance right. It was dramatic and effective in its twists and turns. Where it goes with characters like the Russian are places that feel fresh and alive and not generic television plotting. In fact, it really reminded me of the first season of Breaking Bad. When you get to the second or third episode and it goes into the situation of Crazy-8... it feels surprising and unexpected and dramatically gripping. You're caught off guard because it doesn't go through the expected motions, and there's nothing to do but watch with bated breath and see exactly how deep the rabbit hole goes. That's exactly the same way I felt about this first season of Daredevil. You don't know what's going to happen and you don't know how the characters will react and deal with it. That's a treasure. Even with a character that could've been a cheap caricature like Marci, the show goes and shows that no, it can elevate that past your expectations and refuse to take the easy road. Instead of being a throwaway gag, Marci turns into a real person who has reactions and feelings and something beyond the shallow exterior. It's these little things that add up and really make you appreciate the deft execution of this show. The producers said they were inspired by the Bourne films, and that's completely evident right from the beginning. The hired assassin that tries to get Karen, as well as the bowling alley hitman, are completely analogous to the various "assets" that go hunting after Bourne. It's okay though, because when you really think about it... was Nuke from Miller's "Born Again" really all that different from the superhuman Bourne "assets?" With Daredevil, it gave us Marvel's best supervillain in the Kingpin. It probably gave us Marvel's best romantic interest in Karen Page. It's given us the best realization of a Marvel setting. The Hell's Kitchen depicted in this show wholly does justice to the Hell's Kitchen that we've seen from Miller and other acclaimed DD writers. It is the suffocating cesspool of corruption that we read about. It does feel like the Kingpin is a grand puppetmaster pulling on strings, or a big fat spider, sitting at the center of a tremendous web of crime and graft and everything unsavory you can imagine. Gradually through the season, the entire landscape somehow morphs from a brightly lit New York into one long trail of corpses leading up to Wilson Fisk's penthouse. That's the Hell's Kitchen that we know from the comics, the one that Miller so marvelously crafted with his narrative power. Even in great past superhero movies like Nolan's TDK... we're told about the police corruption, but we never really see it. It's not encompassing and enveloping the way it is here. It doesn't wallow in it the way that Daredevil does. Daredevil goes and shows you exactly why you shouldn't utter the Kingpin's name. It shows you why people are afraid, and how far the Kingpin's reach is. Well, okay... so they didn't get the red Daredevil costume right. They botched that one. But that's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. Marathoning Daredevil over a weekend was truly one of the most enjoyable and impactful entertainment experiences of the last couple years.

[@willyates2787]

People are ignorant!!!

[@beksc9209]

I have seen mixed feelings on the costume. What did you not like about it? (I am currently reading Miller's 3rd volume. Something I have noticed, and which bothers me, is that DD's comic costume is just spandex, even the hood. There's no armor to ut, which makes it seem kinda pointless for a guy with no superpowers.) The image is great, but.... Do you prefer the DD on the chest? I get having it there, but I also appreciate that it's not. Giving Daredevil an emblem in the show would have felt forced, imo. The emblem is more so people can recognize the superhero. Murdock doesn’t need one---he's the only guy running around in all red. It would seem odd for DD to have that DD emblem in the show---wouldn't match the show's tone. Emblems, to me, seem more like a marketing scheme. Superman's S or Batman's bat helps sell merch. But if each hero's costume is distinct, there is no need for a stylized symbol. None of the other Marvel heroes have a stylized symbol; giving Matt one would have felt odd. I still like the symbols/letters heroes jave on their clstumes, mind. But I also like their not having them. 🤷‍♀️

[@SnapperChannel]

I’ll be honest I’ve only seen the first two episodes of the show and it’s been a real long time. But I do plan to watch the whole show at some point. But I’m glad that with the Daredevil show, more people in the general public are realizing how truly amazing Daredevil is. Especially after the garbage fire that was the 2003 Ben Affleck movie. And I’m kind of disappointed that Kevin Feige has pretty much made the Netflix shows not canon in the MCU. And considering Marvel Television is closed that’s more of a bad sign. Good to see this Darecember end on a high note. Will this be the final video of 2019?

The interesting thing about season 1 of Daredevil, is that his no-kill rule is technically never established. It's not yet a hard rule like it is for Batman, before season 2 and 3, I'm pretty damn sure that Matt never outright states he doesn't kill people. But the moral talk is still so prevalent that we already kind of know he doesn't. We don't know that Matt refuses to kill, but we know that he doesn't kill. We already know that he isn't the kind of person who would kill anyone from how he talks about everything else and his actions.

Hey Matt, this was a great analysis on the first season of Daredevil, you pretty much summarised and nailed everything about the themes, messages, cinematography and more. I've got a comic suggestion for you and also other fans who enjoy Daredevil stories, which is the Question by Dennis O'Neil. I think you'll like the themes, pacing, and overall it's got similar parallels to lots of DD books throughout the ages. I really enjoyed it, as a Daredevil reader. The Question's also got lots of similarities to Matt Murdock, being a very flawed character with real world issues and also ideas of humanity. Rumor also says it that he's going to get a TV series, I'm hoping it's as good as Daredevil. A Question comic essay by YOU especially would be absolutely fantastic!

[@anthonygarcia8749]

This is the best marvel netflix show imo and is my favorite superhero show. The show perfectly captures the duality of Matt Murdock and Daredevil and the strife and sacrifices he's had to make to protect hell's kitchen. Matt Murdock/Daredevil is such a great character with a lot of depth and layers and how he is often finding himself questioning the morality in what he's doing. One gripe with the show is that I wish they'd show his radar sense more often and how he uses it in combat or for stealth. However, literally every other aspect of the show is phenomenal. Just a great character all around and I've been loving all your daredevil videos and I love all your in-depth videos about comic characters and storylines. I'm curious to know if you'll do more videos on classic silver age marvel comic storylines such as spider-man no more or even an android can cry. Stuff like that to really highlight the genius of silver age marvel because I feel it's honestly undervalued and underappreciated by some people and remains one of my personal favorite eras in marvel comics.

Anthony Garcia ik a DC Idiot who says DC has better movies than marvel and that marvel doesn’t have any risks in their movies and nobody really does and DC is so cool because they are dark and risky because in apparently in the Dark Knight, people are dying and Batman beats up the joker and shit. And says DC has better tv shows and he “tried” watching the first season of Daredevil (which would answer all of his complaints about the MCU) but said it “wasn’t that good”!!! People are ignorant!!!

What an excellent conclusion to Darecember. Nicely done as always, Matt

Fun Fact :- Charlie Cox will play Daredevil in Spider-Man 3, appearing with a Big Twist. Daredevil SAVED !!!

[@JRF1004]

Daredevil is the Godfather of superhero shows, especially Season 3 IMO. Stupid move to cancel it.

[@cardmaster8772]

S1 was better though.

[@JRF1004]

Card Master I liked S3 a little more, way more ambitious and exciting

[@cardmaster8772]

@@JRF1004 For me S1 was almost perfect, while S3 had much more mistakes and fails. While the finale of S3 is much stronger, the lightning of the scene seems kind of cheap. The fights were also much better done in S1, although there are some gems in S3. Finally, the plot. It had perfect pacing in S1, nothing was too much on the nose (except the red suit and acrobatics out of nowhere in the finale, but that has nothing to do with plot). With S3, the finale seems rushed. Daredevil finds Kingpin loyal worker off screen, Kingpin suddenly wants Daredevil to kill him, even though he never showed signs that he considers that as an option, Daredevil calls Bullseye to the party (so he could focus on Fisk too) and is surprised that he killed other people there, even though he knows Bullseye is insane. So on and so on. Those are minor things, they dont ruin the season or anything, but they didnt let me fully enjoy it. S1 was more consistent I think.

[@JRF1004]

Card Master Yeah S3 is definitely more flawed but the effort put into it is just exceptional

I think killing ben urich off was a huge mistake such a compelling actor and character

[@StephanDallaPria]

People are saying it's the best superhero show but it deserves more props and I have decided it's now my favorite, before The Sopranos and Mad Men. It's a neo-noir Western, a competent crime drama, a working class manifesto, a character study of abuse and morality.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Daredevil is Mythic Violence. Until the final episodes of S1 and S3. Then you get Divine Violence. It knocks the scales over altogether. And the reason some people identify with this incarnation of Daredevil is because we like to suffer. Y'know, the Catholic thing.

Excellent I love this

[@WaitingToBeAGhost]

You are missing a big part of the characterisation here. Matt is not bound by religion or psychology or even moral societal dogma. He does what he deems right. Justice is his only pursuit. And he doesn't ask or pray for it because he is disillusioned with all the "higher thinking" of man(exemplified by the foil and antagonist Fisk) Matt aims to get it done. To just do and to do just. It is not more complicated than that. Any questions he has after the violence come from his environment; The views of those around him. That is why, slowly, you see him isolating himself; Because he realises his mission is one only he can bear and the people close to him not only cannot understand but will actively hinder him. It isn't a prayer. It is a rage-filled crusade to prove God wrong. He never prays never asks for help from God. He bleeds from a place of self-loathing and guilt but he fights to prove that man is all that is needed to punish man. God has no place in the darkest corners of Humanity and should not get his hands dirty when he has the Devil to do his work.

[@brianpickens8633]

Daredevil Season 1 is the best daredevil season of all time. It hit every beat and check mark perfectly and shined the brightest out to all 3. Season 2 is the second greatest, and season 3 is behind that. Season 3 is NOT bad, but it’s not fresh and stylized as the other 2 were. Steve DeKnight and the DD 2 showrunners were better then Erik Oelson.

[@Seasonal-Shadow_4674]

Brian Pickens agreed. DeKnight should’ve done the whole show imo
