FIRST TIME WATCHING: Daredevil: Born Again S1E9

I really think if you want a different type of Super-hero show to anything you’ve seen you should dip a toe into DC and check out Superman and Lois which is more of a family drama show just happens that the Dad happens to be superman. But it deals with them trying to balance family life and work and money problems while also having the regular superhero trouble. And then theirs also Doom Patrol which is like X-men if it was an absurdist dark comedy about dealing with physical and emotional trauma.

OMG ILL TAKE THE DAREDEVIL TSHIRT

You mentioned you were surprised Matt doesn’t kill anyone when he hits them and it’s actually funny during a recent story line Matt was recovering from being hit by a bus saving a kid. When he started going out as DD again he wasn’t as on his game as he normally was and started getting beat up by some store robbers and he threw a wild hit in desperation and accidentally killed a guy. That cop that killed Hector is actually a decent cop in the comics he does hate vigilantes but he’s by the book in it and he starts going after DD for it killing the guy. Eventually Matt surrenders himself and reveals his identity to the DA and negotiates a form of protective custody he’s sentenced to 2 years for man slaughter but because of his previous actions as a hero his identity is sealed and known only to the judge and DA and he’s sent to jail as Daredevil and he has an Orange Mask to go with this jumpsuit. During his time in jail Elektra becomes the new Daredevil mantle and even stops killing to honour Matt.

I also watched season 3 along with you on here. I think its way better than Born Again. I hope Born Again season 2 will be better.

I thought the B-roll was the perspective of the BB report.

Heather did not make eye contact with Kinkpin. Before accepting his offer she was looking at Buck and the heavily armed cop(?) Next to him.

Bye Anthony! Next project is The Punisher Special, co-written by Jon Bernthal! It's going to be amazing. You really should at some point watch the punisher even if it's on your own.

The Nat Gold cut of the show is just 5 episodes long because she took out all the B-roll of NYC out

The interesting thing about all of this is that Disney did make both shows. Netflix only hired them to make the show for their streaming service.

And Gallo’s death had me jumping out my chair, they earned their R rating 😅

This season has had a lot of ups and downs but I’m willing to overlook it because of all the creative troubles going on behind the scenes, switching switching creative teams months into shooting, rewrites etc. The last 2 episodes along with the opening of episode 1 (Foggy’s death) were written by the same creative team behind Netflix daredevil and will be the creatives going forward, which is kinda crazy because you can see the change in quality of writing/directing. Looking forward to see what they get up to with the whole of season 2 to themselves 😊 The original script for the show had Foggy killed offscreen before the show and Karen was never in it 🥴 incredible example of rewrites being the saving grace of a show

Why'd you keep calling him Luke?

Had a great time watching this along with you Nat! I'm glad this season was still pretty good since the transition from Netflix to Disney had me worried a bit. Also whenever you're considering getting back into the sci-fi genre for tv series, would love for you to check out The Expanse!

"Golly Mr. Castle, sure would be an honor to shake your hand--"

Supposedly the creative team brought in to write and direct DD Born Again for Disney+ were fired during filming and Feige replaced them with some of the creators from the Netflix team. Specifically episode 9, 8, and 1 were from this replacement team thus the difference.

I know it's hard to keep track of the characters across multiple shows but I wish she made the connection that Swordsman is Jack from Hawkeye.

I am also interested in a schedule, not sure when TLOU is coming up and very interested in that one. Also, Severance, of course. Great stuff this week!

Natalie, please watch Sopranos.

No schedule?

I know this is never going to happen, but Andor season 2 is right around the corner, and I hope you can watch season 1. You won't regret it, I guarantee it.

If I were Matt, I would’ve given Frank a better reason to not kill Cole North. I would have the impostor stand up in court and tell the world that he killed Hector Ayala. If nothing else, at least Angela would’ve gotten closure about her uncle. Jon Bernthal will return as the Punisher in his own Special Presentation. Maybe the post-credit scene is what leads us to it. And now, will you please finally watch Loki season 2?

Hi Nat, any chance of moving Last of Us to Monday or Tuesday to be able to watch that with you closer to release?

Happy Monday Nat. Hope you had an awesome weekend too and managed to find all your chocolate eggs 😋 Heard some mixed opinions on this finale, so I'm interested to see what happens, and see what you made of it. Also really looking for to your Last of Us reaction this week. "White is not your colour" 🤣🤣🤣 It was an okay episode, not really a season finale but more as a set up for the next season. Good to see Karen back. And Fisk is back to his brutal self. The action stuff was cool, but so dark I could barely see what was happening haha. We'll see how it all continues in the next season now that all the pieces are back in place. Thanks for your reaction, and unboxing today Nat 💛
