God I love that dumbass blind vigilante guy

Matt getting so caught up in masking his misery and worsening mental health that he forgets he got taken hostage and that's usually a traumatic experience. We're back to normal I see.

*shoves a crying Matt Murdock in your face* TAKE THAT YOU “DDBA bad bc Matt Murdock would not have moved on that quick” BITCHES BECAUSE HE FUCKING HAS NOT. BITCH IS IN DENIAL. HE CANT EVEN SAY FOGGYS FUCKING NAME. HE REACHED FOR THE FUNERAL CARD. HES SO BROKEN BROSKIS ITS ACTUALLY INSANE.

going from being happy about buckeddie to depressed over mattfoggy

Daredevil: Born Again Straight to Hell | 1.09

extremely interesting last sentence

there’s no fucking way that i find out that the guy who plays barista-boyfriend-monster (whatever) in netflix’s wednesday is the same person who plays the muse in ddba through rewatching amanda the jedi’s wednesday review like… ok?? i was jumpscared by his dandelion curls

❤️bulltsch.i❤️

in dd setting this photo feels like this in a way that matt doesn’t want to kill anyone and dex is like # yeah fuck the fisks but also # yeah fuck you matt (🏳️‍🌈) and your morals. he for sure would have his shit eating grin

the question is who would be taking the photos… oh my godd imagine fbi agent dex with the rr sign for a second where corrupt cops would be like giggling and taking photos with it bc haha they think they can do something while dex would be like oh my god they do not know I’m the bullseye and they will never know how funny it is if i take photo with them AND this symbol

do i make sense. lets put the time management of fbi and bullseye arcs and the ddba season 2 aside💔

I’ve been thinking about it again and people on twt mentioning how built wilson bethel is and that his body looks like one of a swimmer made me think that well yes WHAT IF dex became a swimmer in a way that its a “clean” sport. swimming makes him relaxed/helps him clear his mind which if we’d be to keep his - in this reality - intrusive thoughts about murder and his stalking swimming could be a good metaphor for “cleansing” himself. it would also be a nice route for him to follow if he maybe wanted to pursue “being normal” this way distancing from the harmful talent of his

+ bonus points as this version would replace his usual smell of cleansing (?) bleach to the smell of the pool bleach does it make sense idk how to distinguish them matt would sense it

thinking about dexmatt olympics au and i dont know what sports would fit them the best..

obvious choices for dex would baseball/softball/archery but i think that biathlon would suit him better because he would soon realise that those sports are too boring for him whereas biathlon is more competitive and competitive skiing in combination with fast-paced shooting is more of a “fun” choice. OR he could be in athletics! in original lore he got tired of a singular discipline really fast, so maybe keeping it as versatile as possible is a good option for him - javelin, different types of running, jumping etc etc. (javelin and other throwing disciplines keep his “bullseye” shtick)

matt is a harder one to choose for because it’s kinds hard to determine what kind of sport in paralympics would realistically be a good choice AND fit him. there’s such discipline as blind football and it could work! however idk if its the best fit and maybeee going less real-world reliant is an option and he could participate in para archery or para shooting which I think would be a better fit for him (keep his supersonic hearing or something?). however martial arts work too (and i think it’s the best fit!) and it would be the best lore-wise option as well because maybe his dad got him into this discipline by training him some boxing, then stick could be a grumpy coach that helped him after dad’s death

fun fact - there has actually been a blind martial arts winner in para judo! her name is Theodora Paschalidou and she won 1st place in 2020 so, yeah, maybe matt can be a martial arts athlete! however there are not that many disciplines to choose from - judo and taekwondo. judo is more self-defence reliant and is grappling based, whilst taekwondo is more aggressive and relies on kicks to win. SO maybe matt could’ve started off with judo early in his career and then switched to taekwondo? is that a thing? by mastering more than one martial art he could also stay a martial arts master that he is originally

if anyone has any other suggestions I’m all ears😋😋

it seems like the cop who pushed dex and the guy who got killed by his tooth are the same person

he had it coming i guess

Just saw the finale episode of Daredevil: Born Again so I thought I'ld share my thoughts on the whole first season.

Spoilers by the way.

First of all the Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio were fantastic as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, two of the best performances in the entire MCU in my opinion. Everyone loves Matt (for good reason) but Fisk has always been my favourite. He is one of my favourite MCU villains and the writing for him is always great.

The scenes with Frank are great. In particular the scene between him and Matt in episode 4 is one of the best scenes in the whole show.

I liked the stuff with White Tiger. R.I.P. Kamar de los Reyes, you did a great job.

I liked Muse, he was good villain. Kinda reminds me of the serial killers in the Hannibal tv show (that's a compliment btw that show is great). I wished he wasn't killed off after two episodes, would've liked to see more of him.

I liked the Pointdexter scenes. Everytime he appeared I was thinking 'oh fuck' especially during and after his breakout in episode 8. Also the use of blue and red lighting in episode 8 is so good.

I liked Vanessa. She felt more like her own character and had more to do compared to the original Daredevil show (granted I last watched Daredevil about 3 months ago so maybe I'm misremembering)

Didn't expect Tony Dalton to show up in this but I'm glad he did. He was great in the Hawkeye show and he's great in this. Hopefully he'll reappear in season 2.

Buck was alright, though I do wish we had James Wesley instead. This is not a fault of Born Again, I just wished they didn't kill him off in Daredevil season 1. I liked Daniel, he had some good scenes. I liked BB as well. Didn't really care for any of the other new characters though tbh.

The bank episode was fun, I liked seeing Yusaf Khan. I want to see Matt have dinner with the Khans now. Also Matt whistling while walking into the bank during an armed robbery is so fucking funny.

The fight scenes and choreography was great. When Fisk killed the commissioner I audibly said "Holy shit! What the fuck?!". It's so brutal and gory, I kinda love it.

It was sad that they killed Foggy but thankfully it didn't feel like an unnecessary kill. Everything surrounding Matt and everything he does in some way has to do with his death.

Anyway I really really liked this. It is my favourite Disney+ Marvel show (though Loki is a close second) and I cannot wait for season 2.

if they kill him I am going to riot

what it feels like being a Daredevil (Netflix) fan rn

well…….. at least we got kastle reunion and fratt funny interactions

can’t wait to see foggy nelson alive and kastle reunion tomorrow 🎀

Ddba is so. Fucking. Good. It has many problems but this episode was almost perfect. Literally the only thing that bothered me is that the roses are blue (roses can't be blue. You can dye them but not on the bush). Literally how is this episode so perfect. No spoilers but god. The parallels. THE PARELLELS.

List of parallels (no spoilers)

Matt | Foggy (yes. I did cry.)

Matt | Fisk (a classic)

Matt & Heather | Fisk & Venessa (classic 2.0)

Matt | Venessa (this is new and exciting)

Heather | Fisk (aAAaaa this is incredible)

Venessa | Fisk (expected)

Bonus: BB | that police dude

I swear you could hear it in his voice how much he didn’t want to do that again- how he didn’t want to be used as a weapon again

WILSON BETHEL as BENJAMIN POINDEXTER Daredevil: Born Again (2025) 1.09

Love how all of Matts fragile composure and sense of control is starting to completely break and he just loses it with dex and slams this guys head into the fucking table three times. We are SO BACK

I love the contrast of born again and the original series’s title sequences. In the original opening, everything that was important to Matt i.e. the church, justice, New York is made from this dripping red ‘blood’ and in return all of these things lead to the literal creation of Daredevil. In born again’s opening, all those things important to Matt/Daredevil; the church, justice, Nelson, Murdock and Page are shown in concrete form with cracks and pieces falling off before they are destroyed and from that rubble of everything important to him, Daredevil is remade he is born again. The difference between something fluid being for creation and something solid and hard for the destruction

The new title sequence basically tells us how the show is gonna play out and what’s gonna happen with stunning visuals that mirror the originals title sequence. I know this is a pretty surface level analysis and isn’t anything groundbreaking I just thought it was pretty cool

MY MAN MY MANNN

Matt Murdock to himself, at literally any given moment in DDBA:

Matt smile challenge (impossible)

i actually have very high hopes for season 2 of born again! i think the last two episodes of s1 were really good and set us up for a good, well made story.

I wish all of season 1 was stronger story wise, but i have full faith that season 2 will be excellent.

I think the show runners shoved that much content into the last two episodes off ddba so that we’d collectively forget how dumb it was that matt recognized heathers face by touching a painting.

Matt and Frank: *just act as usual*

Me:

                                    -  the only good

                                                 part of me 

                                                         was you  -

late secret santa gift for my lovely friend @scienceoftheidiot  I know this took forever, i hope you like it! 

daredevil using ‘Everything in its Right Place’ by radiohead was perfect.

i haven’t stopped thinking about it since the episode dropped and i get chills every time.

it perfectly captures the emotions and story and movement that is happening and it’s just so perfect i cant even articulate how good of an artistic decision it was. i wish to personally kiss whoever chose it directly on the mouth.

⚔️ Saint Matthew ⚔️

finally learning how to paint digitally, I feel so evolved

daredevil is the first real tumblr fandom experience i’ve ever had, and it has been so fun! i love talking to people about headcanons and interpretations and everything under the sun, bc i care about and love dd so so much and i love sharing that love with people.

i feel super privileged to have joined right around when born again was in the works, so i’ve gotten to experience the pre born again era as well as the excitement of the new show coming out.

recently however, i’ve seen people being super hostile about other people’s opinions about the show, mostly regarding ships? maybe that’s normal for fandom behavior, but it’s so much less fun in my opinion.

i’m a big proponent for live and let live, ya know? i love seeing everyone be excited about their ships and hcs. i have to believe it’s possible to like something and express that without putting down another thing.

sorry for being complainy on main lol, i’m still getting my footing around here.
