Bullseye’s return is brutal and true to the comics, making him a serious threat to Matt Murdock. Foggy Nelson’s fate is one of the most emotional moments in the series so far. The cinematography is more expansive, allowing for larger action sequences compared to the Netflix version. Fisk’s political ascent mirrors real-world themes, adding a chilling layer to his character. The show sets up exciting possibilities for new and returning Marvel characters. Memorable Quotes: “The entire time we hear Foggy’s heartbeat, which means while he’s fighting Bullseye, he’s listening to see how Foggy is doing. That’s how you tell a story with superpowers.” “The wider shots show Marvel Studios’ budget at work, making this version of Daredevil feel bigger than ever.” “The scene where Matt walks through a chaotic New York, hearing the city’s divided reaction to Fisk’s win, is storytelling at its finest.” “Nothing about Matt’s life feels quite right—he’s not in Hell’s Kitchen, he’s not with Karen, and he’s trying to be something he isn’t.” Call to Action: Love this episode?
