“Daredevil: Born Again” just dropped its two-episode premiere on Disney Plus last night.
Fast forward about two hours and I was left underwhelmed but optimistic.
The next chapter of the “Daredevil” story isn’t without promise.
But it has a major problem that frankly, the wholeMCUsuffers from.
Is this ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ or ‘Daredevil’ season 4?
You feel like you better have watched everything to understand anything that’s going on.
Having to do homework to watch a show is annoying in general.
But the MCU canon includes 35 films and 496 episodes of television just seeing those numbers is exhausting.
Especially when not everything Marvel has produced has been worth watching.
Annoyingly, Marvel decided to split the difference.
At first, it doesn’t work.
Except it doesn’t introduce any of them.
From that moment on, we’re left with a Daredevil who refuses to be Daredevil.
Mayor Fisk, on the one hand, represents a possible new path forward for the city.
I also felt the action took a significant step forward in the second episode.
This isn’t a high-octane show it’s a brooding drama with violent outbursts mixed within.
But in the first episode, the CGI/fight choreography of Matt as Daredevil lookedbad.
The second episode ends with a fight that’s much better though.
