'Daredevil' is a dark, worthwhile addition to Marvel
With season two confirmed,
assistant news editor Sam
King reflects on season one

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

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.
