Drift partner and I just rewatched Daredevil and, yeah, our opinion still stands. It’s the best of the Netflix MCU shows. (We also watched The Defenders, obviously, since it’s part of the narrative; that show is maybe more of a mess but it’s also just so damn fun. The Defenders feels comic-booky in a unique way.) Some important things to know about us and Daredevil are as follows: Matt (Charlie Cox) is one of the Best Boys In The MCU and we love him even when he is a doofus (I, drift partner, refer to Matt as my “boysona” sometimes; which is a playful way of saying that I relate to both his personality and his extreme religious guilt). Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) is perfect and we love her. Elektra (Elodie Yung) did nothing wrong, ever, and we love her. Foggy (Elden Henson) is great and we love him. Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) is a terrible person but as a character and a villain we also love him. Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer) is a queen and we love her. We love a lot of the characters on this show.
Because we watch this show in such a character-focused way, I thought it would be interesting to break down the important relationships. That’s so much of what the show is, relationships, and there’s such a unique weird collection of friendships and family and romance and hatred and god only knows what else. Unfortunately, when making our list of relationships we wanted to talk about we realized there are too many of them for one post, so we’re breaking it down into two separate ones. This time ‘round, get ready for Matt Murdock And His Relationships.
