VIEWS The Battalion I 4.28.15 3 'Daredevil' is a dark, worthwhile addition to Marvel With season two confirmed, assistant news editor Sam King reflects on season one Sam King @Sam_King372 arvel has done it again. #1 Released on April 10, I Netflix’s “Daredevil” has I W I already been confirmed for a second season, likely to be released spring of next year. It’s not very hard to see why when you reflect on the sheer action-packed, drama-filled con tinuation of the Marvel Universe that was season one. A fan of all things Marvel, I decided to give the 13-episode sea son one a shoU I started watching Friday night, and by Sunday after noon I finished. To clarify, the only reason I didn’t finish Friday night was because I wanted to make it last longer. Each episode is an hour long and jam-packed with amazing writ ing and action. It’s much darker and more violent than anything in movies like “The Avengers” or “Iron Man,” but don’t let that deter you. It’s not violence for the sake of nothing. Each of the characters has their own unique storyline that’s multi faceted and layered. The main character, Matt Murdock (aka “Daredevil”) lost his vision in an accident as a child, which left him with heightened senses. After being mentored by a similarly “gifted” man, known as “Stick,” Matt begins to use his skills to defend his city. But kicking villainous butt isn’t the only thing that Matt does. He’s also a lawyer with his college friend and roommate, Foggy Nelson. Fog gy adds the humourous relief that the show desperately needs. Don’t let the goofiness fool you though; he too faces his own challenges. The main villain, Wilson Fisk, is well, incredibly scary — the kind Place an Ad Phone 979.845.0569' Suite L400, Memorial Student Center Texas A&M University When to Call 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday Insertion deadline: 1 p.m. prior business day VISA of scary that puts you on edge, ready for a body count anytime he’s on screen. And while this domi nates many of the scenes, he also gets really interesting backstory and character flaws. By early in the season, Fisk is set up with an end goal that is actu ally admirable, if a bit ambitious. Fisk’s methods are what make him so unlikeable. At the same time, he has some emotional issues left over from childhood that he’s been forced to deal with, and you can’t help but feel for him just a little bit. This is what makes Daredevil so good and different from older su perhero movies. The bad guy isn’t quite bad, and likewise, Matt isn’t necessarily your typical hero. Matt has several humanizing factors to him, but most notably his reluctance to kill someone outright. While there were times when I wished he would just kill Fisk and get it over with, I appreciated his struggle between his moral codes and what would be easiest. Finally, for others like me with a sweet spot for the theme of, “the power of press,” the show invites you to examine our own media with a more critical lens. The idea that “Daredevil” raises is as follows, there are two sides to every story, and just because it’s printed or reported on the TV doesn’t mean it’s true. The press serves as a link be tween the general public and the “higher up,” but it doesn’t always do a great job of fairly represent ing both sides. “Daredevil” re ally examines this, albeit through extremes, but the message is still conveyed. As for next season, “Daredevil’s” official Twitter warned fans that, “Fisk was just the beginning” and to be ready to see our sight-chal lenged hero back in action, facing new foes and enemies. “Daredevil” is another step in the right direction for the Marvel Universe, and all I could think Sunday night is hoW much I really wished I had another episode to watch. Season two being con- Season two of Netflix's "Daredevil" will likely be released in Spring 2016. firmed is a comfort, but let’s be honest — I’ll end up marathoning that season, too, and being in the same position this time next year.
