Daredevil season 2 review



     First off, let me say that Netflix is doing a GREAT job with the Daredevil series. When I saw season one of Daredevil, I thought it was amazing. It earned its 5 stars because Daredevil is an amazing series. One of my favorite things about Daredevil is how dark it is. When you watch a movie/TV show that is part of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), you usually think it's going to be a "family TV show". I mean, that's what ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is and all the Marvel movies. It's totally different with Daredevil. You see people getting shot in the head, or there skull getting bashed. I can say the same thing for Netflix's Jessica Jones, which is another Marvel Netflix TV show. Now, I don't think all Marvel Netflix shows will be like this. I mean, Ironfist (another Marvel hero getting a Netflix show) isn't really that dark. I guess I can say he's basically a ninja with glowing fist. I don't think he can get real dark. Luke Cage (also a Marvel Netflix show coming soon) might be dark. The way he gets his powers is kind of harsh, but I don't think the show will be darker then Daredevil.
     Anyways, I'm here to talk about Daredevil season 2. I am not doing a whole explanation post, or a spoiler post. I'm just going to tell you how I feel about it, so basically I'm doing a review. So, if I were to describe Daredevil season 2 in only 3 words I would choose: dark, gory, and AWESOME. The action scenes, so detailed and the flow is amazing. The way Daredevil fights reminds me of how video game characters fight. Not only that, but the conversation scenes are full of feeling. The emotions are everywhere, and you can feel how the character feels. I love the emotions Foggy let's out because he is the one who doesn't like the idea of his best friend being a vigilante, but knows he can't do anything about it. It's hard on Foggy, knowing that his friend Matt could die any day.
     Another thing I love about Daredevil season 2 is the characters. I really want to talk about the Punisher and Elektra, the characters in the cast. First off, the Punisher is so hard core that it he could make El Chapo cry and crawl into a corner.


     I mean, this guy is hardcore, and you certainly don't want to mess him. Now, I was kind of surprised that he could take on Daredevil and actually beat him, but I knew he would have to be a challenge because if not there would be no point of having him on the show. The Punisher character is interesting because he seems crazy, but we know he isn't. He's just a guy handle things differently then Daredevil. He a killer, but is also a hero in his own ways. Some would call him an anti-hero, like Deadpool. The thing is, even though killing is bad, The Punisher is taking down the bad people of Hell's Kitchen which is actually helping the city. You can't think of him as psycho either. He still has a conscience. Remember, he had a family, two kids and a wife. He still has a heart. There is a certain scene that really showed this (I believe episode 6). I'm not going to give you all the details to the scene, but basically the Punisher has to choose between giving out some information, or saving a certain something.
   
     The next character I'm going to talk about is Elektra.

     Well not really the character, but the chemistry between her and Daredevil. It turns out that Matt Murdock (Daredevil) and Elektra dated in collage. She was that girlfriend who was your biggest mistake, but your greatest gift. So, when Matt and Elektra dated in collage, she made him do some bad things. She was a bad influence on Matt, and that is what kind of ends there relationship (won't say what actually happen because it's a spoiler). Now, after Matt has been Daredevil for at least a year, Elektra comes back into Matt's life asking for help. Of course, Matt want's nothing to do with her, but sooner or later he does help her. Well, Matt doesn't help her, but his alter ego does. Daredevil and Elektra team up and goes against foes like Hand soldiers (the ninjas the picture near the title), and Roxxon guards. During time Elektra and Daredevil are in the same scenes, you can feel the chemistry. Even though they might not ever get back together, you know they will always have feelings for each other.

     Now this brings me to the conclusion to my review. Daredevil season 2 wasn't just great, but (my opinion) is even better season 1. The actions scenes are great, the new characters are great, the storyline is great, the acting is great, heck all of it is great! You should definitely check out this series on Netflix.
   
     Anyways, this might be my last post for this week. I'm not sure because I am going to see Batman v Superman this week and don't know if I will have enough time to do a review on it. I mean, I was also going to do a review on Zootopia a few weeks ago, but 1. I couldn't because the issue I explained  in my last post, and 2. I wanted to do a spoiler review, but couldn't because I wanted to do it right after the movie so I could get all the details, and by the time I got home it was too late because I had to go to bed. I think that by the time I get home from BvS, it will be the same incident. Anyways, I'll try. Another thing I want to tell you is that the next chapter of The Comic Wars will be April 1st, so get ready. I guess that's all, so peace. :)
