(Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for the “Daredevil: Born again“By season 1, section 4.)
Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent d’Ontrio) have always had a lot in common, including a shared faith that their beloved city must be cleaned up. In “Daredevil: Born Again” section 4, written by David Feige & Jesse Wigutow and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, stands Matt, the boundaries of his legal work above when he sets up he resists Police – Some of the most dangerous individuals he will ever meet, all protected and supported by the system he has no choice but to trust.
Matt does not believe for a second that Hector (Kamar de Los Reyes) was executed by Punisher Alias Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), and moves right to the obvious answer: it was the police, because Hector came in their way, and his freedom was both an inconvenience and an insult.
As much as fish was and is the de facto antagonist in our lawyer superhero, “Born Again” has also built an exciting dynamic between Matt and Officer Powell (Hamish Allan-Headley), a man whose presence now sends Matt to high warning. All about the relationship is simply good TV: Matts trust, Powell’s Hubris, dislikes on the surface and the burning, violent hatred under it.
Under their shiny official personalities, these men – and maybe – could kill each other.
Speaking of this, the section also gives an anti -hero Welcome to Bernthal in an outstanding scene between Matt and Frank. It starts with Frank accosing him with an ax, because what is an old friendship without traditions?
It has been so satisfying to see all these actors repeat their roles in this restart, but Bernthals Punisher is and has always been a knockout. He cleans out the character’s indignation, disillusionment and hardwood wisdom as if no time has passed, with Frank who immediately sees through Matts non -violent bravado. Cox and the Bernthal work brilliantly together on the screen, in a scene that grows from lighting, set design and (of course) good writing (I have not fact-controlled this, but it must be the first use of “pussy-ass” on Disney+).
Frank confirms that “fucking fanboys” has settled his punisher logo, and Matt assumes that many of them are police officers who lose their own vigilante justice so someone else takes the order. But is there a police officer in the scary white mask who seems to work on someone in the final scene? And what about Fish Version of Justice, which involves keeping Vanessas (Ayelet Zurer) ex-lovers Adam (Lou Taylor Pucci) in a cage in the basement? How about Matt who still keeps their valuable masks and weapons safe and secret and sneaks out at night to train for the fights he has probably left?
Everyone at this show takes things in their own hands, and it is only a matter of time before they collide disastrously.
