'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

Yeah.

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

I think maybe when they first started the vigilante task force, ICE was not as front and center as it was now.

So maybe this isn't all a one-to-one thing.

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

But there is this...

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

To me, this dissonance when I'm watching this where we know Kingpin is so smart.

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

It's so conniving.

'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

And you're making him into this mayor.

And I'm just like, we know too much now.

I'm like, we know that our politicians are way dumber than we could have ever imagined.

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

Think about...

They're actually more evil in real life than they are in the comic book version.

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

To me, that was a perfect example of, I'm like, if this vigilante task force is so oppressive, and we're there now, like, cooking the books, even before you get to trial, I'm like, is Swordsman the right character that you want to do that with?

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

In terms of, like, showing me how oppressive this vigilante force is.

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

Because the Swordsman in every other show, like Hawkeye and everything, is just kind of like a funny guy.

But...

If they were doing this to Luke Cage, then it's heightened.

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

We know what he means to his neighborhood.

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

But also what I think is interesting is,

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

When I was watching this, if you think about the first season of the Netflix Daredevil show, something that like I didn't appreciate as much then that I do now is like, think about the evolution of how Matt gets his suit at the end of that.

The Ringer-Verse
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Premiere Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

Think about like when he's in his Frank Miller ninja shit, where it's a progression of the character being like, I'm not that protected that much.
