This is the final video of this year’s Darecember series. Hope you enjoyed it!

The Netflix Daredevil series was the one adaptation that manage to get the characters, the plot, the background and the environment right and it was brilliant. It's really sad now that it was stupidly cancelled after three successful seasons and a crossover series.

My favorite thing about Matt is that he gets hurt. And he pants. He doesnt just breath, he PANTS. Love him.

"Its not just because of the boy. I'm doing this because I enjoy it" - This line perfectly encapsulates Matt Murdock's motivations to put his body on the line to fight crime in the night. The sheer thrill of violence makes him feel alive. Sure, he wants to ensure that no innocents have to suffer like he did, but he enjoys it as well. The new Daredevil comic from Chip Zdarsky touches on this aspect too.

Not only would I say that Daredevil season 1 is my favorite Marvel shows, but it’s my all time favorite MCU entry. This got me excited about the MCU.

*"Violence is the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived"* When all of our institutions fail to bring about peace and justice, force becomes the arbiter with which we settle our conflicts. It is the ultimate equalizer.

Definitely loved Charlie Cox as Matthew Murdock aka Daredevil. It’s by far the best incarnation of the character alongside Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin also Stick and many more. Your videos are always fantastic. I’m glad I found your channel not too long ago. Keep them coming.

Best superhero show

This show is an absolute masterpiece. Brilliant adaptation of a brilliant character. Charlie Cox captures the dichotomies raging within Matt Murdock so perfectly. Really, the whole ensemble combined with the writing and general direction (plus that inspired cinematography) creates for one of the greatest television shows ever, especially for a comic book show. Also, fantastic analysis, as ever, Matt.

“Can one man make a difference? There are times when I believe in, and to others when I lost all faith.” - Matt Murdock (Daredevil)

When the new daredevil show on Disney plus airs, this first season will have almost been a decade old. Daredevil Born Again will come out in 2024, 9 years after season one premiered in 2015. Holy. Shit.

There's a followup to this in Season 2 through Matt's interactions with Frank Castle. Frank is the kind of man Matt could have become if he ever killed and Castle knows how horrifying that is. So when Matt starts talking about killing just one time, Frank takes the choice out of his hands to save him...possibly in a way Frank wishes someone had done with him.

I'm mostly a DC fan (Love the batman videos!), but Daredevil is easily my favorite Marvel hero, and I'm loving the Darecember theme!

I LOVE your form of speak English. I'm not English but I understand all your words, that's a thing for being gratefull to this channel. You watch comicbooks stuff and learn English too. God job, man.

I love your Daredevil videos.

It really did pretty much everything right. It got the action right. It got the characters right. It got the romance right. It was dramatic and effective in its twists and turns. Where it goes with characters like the Russian are places that feel fresh and alive and not generic television plotting. In fact, it really reminded me of the first season of Breaking Bad. When you get to the second or third episode and it goes into the situation of Crazy-8... it feels surprising and unexpected and dramatically gripping. You're caught off guard because it doesn't go through the expected motions, and there's nothing to do but watch with bated breath and see exactly how deep the rabbit hole goes. That's exactly the same way I felt about this first season of Daredevil. You don't know what's going to happen and you don't know how the characters will react and deal with it. That's a treasure. Even with a character that could've been a cheap caricature like Marci, the show goes and shows that no, it can elevate that past your expectations and refuse to take the easy road. Instead of being a throwaway gag, Marci turns into a real person who has reactions and feelings and something beyond the shallow exterior. It's these little things that add up and really make you appreciate the deft execution of this show. The producers said they were inspired by the Bourne films, and that's completely evident right from the beginning. The hired assassin that tries to get Karen, as well as the bowling alley hitman, are completely analogous to the various "assets" that go hunting after Bourne. It's okay though, because when you really think about it... was Nuke from Miller's "Born Again" really all that different from the superhuman Bourne "assets?" With Daredevil, it gave us Marvel's best supervillain in the Kingpin. It probably gave us Marvel's best romantic interest in Karen Page. It's given us the best realization of a Marvel setting. The Hell's Kitchen depicted in this show wholly does justice to the Hell's Kitchen that we've seen from Miller and other acclaimed DD writers. It is the suffocating cesspool of corruption that we read about. It does feel like the Kingpin is a grand puppetmaster pulling on strings, or a big fat spider, sitting at the center of a tremendous web of crime and graft and everything unsavory you can imagine. Gradually through the season, the entire landscape somehow morphs from a brightly lit New York into one long trail of corpses leading up to Wilson Fisk's penthouse. That's the Hell's Kitchen that we know from the comics, the one that Miller so marvelously crafted with his narrative power. Even in great past superhero movies like Nolan's TDK... we're told about the police corruption, but we never really see it. It's not encompassing and enveloping the way it is here. It doesn't wallow in it the way that Daredevil does. Daredevil goes and shows you exactly why you shouldn't utter the Kingpin's name. It shows you why people are afraid, and how far the Kingpin's reach is. Well, okay... so they didn't get the red Daredevil costume right. They botched that one. But that's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. Marathoning Daredevil over a weekend was truly one of the most enjoyable and impactful entertainment experiences of the last couple years.

Daredevil season 1 is a fantastic start to the series, I love the similarities that are highlighted between Murdock and Fisk. They both share the same love for Hell’s kitchen.

Please talk more Daredevil the Netflix series it’s phenomenally great seasons 2 & 3 are amazing

This Daredevil takes more punishment before 9 ( pm) than most heroes do all night.

Can’t get enough of these Daredevil videos!

Even more daredevil, to say the least you've made my month. Keep it up!

Absolutely perfect analysis!

Great video essay. Somehow in my examinations of the show the anger segment and the violence tend to be pretty fractured, but you brought them back together and synthesized the way the series uses them really well. Watching your video makes me want to go and rewatch season one.

I’ll be honest I’ve only seen the first two episodes of the show and it’s been a real long time. But I do plan to watch the whole show at some point. But I’m glad that with the Daredevil show, more people in the general public are realizing how truly amazing Daredevil is. Especially after the garbage fire that was the 2003 Ben Affleck movie. And I’m kind of disappointed that Kevin Feige has pretty much made the Netflix shows not canon in the MCU. And considering Marvel Television is closed that’s more of a bad sign. Good to see this Darecember end on a high note. Will this be the final video of 2019?

Just started rewatching daredevil on season 3 thanks

Okay this is the best superhero show of any kind I’ve ever seen. Daredevil’s my favorite hero ever, and Charlie Cox played him perfectly. Gotta rewatch the whole series now, here we go.

My personal favourite comic book show, thank you for covering this!

Hopefully in December 2020, we'll be finally talking about how Daredevil was announced to go into the MCU with Charlie Cox and cast in their roles

I miss daredevil. just hope she hulk is like daredevil,jennifer is also a lawyer.

Another amzing video! Darecember was really cool. Is Daredevil your favorite superhero because you're both named Matt?

this show and spider-verse are the only ones that make you feel like the creators were heavily inspired by the comics, I can feel Bill Sienkiewicz and Alex Maleev art in this series, its such a shame that other super heroes shows or movies does not give you the same feeling as this one, even when the original source material is drawn by a spectacular artist.

you are hands down my favourite video essay channel.

The interesting thing about season 1 of Daredevil, is that his no-kill rule is technically never established. It's not yet a hard rule like it is for Batman, before season 2 and 3, I'm pretty damn sure that Matt never outright states he doesn't kill people. But the moral talk is still so prevalent that we already kind of know he doesn't. We don't know that Matt refuses to kill, but we know that he doesn't kill. We already know that he isn't the kind of person who would kill anyone from how he talks about everything else and his actions.

Hey Matt, this was a great analysis on the first season of Daredevil, you pretty much summarised and nailed everything about the themes, messages, cinematography and more. I've got a comic suggestion for you and also other fans who enjoy Daredevil stories, which is the Question by Dennis O'Neil. I think you'll like the themes, pacing, and overall it's got similar parallels to lots of DD books throughout the ages. I really enjoyed it, as a Daredevil reader. The Question's also got lots of similarities to Matt Murdock, being a very flawed character with real world issues and also ideas of humanity. Rumor also says it that he's going to get a TV series, I'm hoping it's as good as Daredevil. A Question comic essay by YOU especially would be absolutely fantastic!

The world on fire is not about his anger. His world is hell, his world is guilt and he is the devil, he has the burden to face this awful place.

Excellent Analysis breakdown! The best one I’ve seen on KZfaq, and trust me I’ve seen them all

why does this not have more views? this is amazing!

This is the best marvel netflix show imo and is my favorite superhero show. The show perfectly captures the duality of Matt Murdock and Daredevil and the strife and sacrifices he's had to make to protect hell's kitchen. Matt Murdock/Daredevil is such a great character with a lot of depth and layers and how he is often finding himself questioning the morality in what he's doing. One gripe with the show is that I wish they'd show his radar sense more often and how he uses it in combat or for stealth. However, literally every other aspect of the show is phenomenal. Just a great character all around and I've been loving all your daredevil videos and I love all your in-depth videos about comic characters and storylines. I'm curious to know if you'll do more videos on classic silver age marvel comic storylines such as spider-man no more or even an android can cry. Stuff like that to really highlight the genius of silver age marvel because I feel it's honestly undervalued and underappreciated by some people and remains one of my personal favorite eras in marvel comics.

He’s back!

What an excellent conclusion to Darecember. Nicely done as always, Matt

speaking abt the violence, i absolutely L O V E when matt takes on one final guy and just keeps punching him. if course his punches and movements have technique because if not he would break his hands, but the brutal and savage way he does it is just fantastic, like someone blinded with rage. Just like he said "he let the devil out"

I literally just discovered you’re channel and I’ve been on binge watch ever since. Incredible channel!

That was awesome. Please do more character focused series like this. I always look forwards to your work

I loved the editing and messages of the video. great job

Holy crap this was so well put together. Great video!

I love this video, it may be your best work.

Insightful, interesting, outstanding and beautiful as always!

amazing video 🙌🙌

That was the best video essay of Daredevil on the entire internet

Great video

Beautiful, just beautiful. What a fantastic video, keep it up 👍.

This is the quality content I live for.

You've been covering a bit of Daredevil lately it feels and i fucking love it!

The subtitle "Kevin Fiege: For Your Consideration" should appear at the bottom of the screen every two minutes. #savedaredevil

9:19, The capacity for guilt and shame being the focus on what truly divides Matt and Wilson rather than their lethality or the extent of their extralegal activities is a welcome perspective. Even Matt and Frank have more dividing them than their methods, as what truly separates them is Matt’s compassion and subsequent restraint contrasted against Frank’s utter surrender ro his hatefulness and use of violence as an indulgence to escape his grief and feelings of powerlessness at the loss of his family. And in the end, it’s Matt’s humility and ability to accept his failures towards his friends, his fear of loss, his use of religion as a feeble excuse to vent his rage on socially acceptable targets that saves Daredevil from succumbing to the same rage, hatred, despair and pride that consumed Wilson and Frank. Matt’s will and virtue prevail and his faith is renewed stronger than before.

this show deserves more attention it’s so great

Not only was this a great video, BUT YOU HAD THE MIDNIGHT AT THE END! Am I able to subscribe twice?

Excellent I love this

Great video man

Loved the edition of this video

This is so damn good.

Matt Draper, lawyer by day, content creator by night.

Matt Draper can you do a video about love and war, Elektra assasin or the Elektra saga?

I love your videos man, easily one of the best in this genre on this website. easily. do you think you could maybe do a video on something like Grant Morrison’s Batman: Gothic?

I absolutely love this show and your video is great

Daredevil is my favorite superhero. I like this DD kick your on please give us more

More daredevil pls

"Daredevil is that Rough Man."

"God DAMN, this boy (Matt Draper) is good!" First words out of my mouth at the end of the video. You did a great job. Hope to see you do season 2 & 3

Please make season 2 and season 3 videos 🙏🏼

Please do a video on season 2 and 3, I loved this video

NOW YOU'RE COVERING THE SERIES?!!? My goodness this is the Month of DD!! :D

The First season of DD is based on Black suit

Damn good video Think about maybe doing the Iron Fist story Seven Capital Cities of Heaven?

The greatest comic book adaptation of all time. Hopefully by the end of the year we get a Season 4 announcement.

Bravo sir.

It's a shame they killed off Ben Urich near the end of Season 1 because he's an important supporting character in the comics.

Excellent video! Hoping for Season 2 and 3! Espically season 3! It’s my favorite season plus I love the suit than season 1

People are saying it's the best superhero show but it deserves more props and I have decided it's now my favorite, before The Sopranos and Mad Men. It's a neo-noir Western, a competent crime drama, a working class manifesto, a character study of abuse and morality.

I love Daredevil and your videos analyzing his escapades, but could we have a video about something else? I'm still waiting on an Invincible Iron Man or Spider-Man video.

Love the biblical references! God bless

Merry Drapes-mas everybody!

Any chance of any Punisher videos?

Definitely love this show. Yes, even S02.

My favourite superhero show.

I Hope Batman: Cape Crusader the New Revive Series can Learn from this Show and Adapt it's Theme in Animation.

Kevin Feige you better not just throw this masterpiece away #savedaredevil

Daredevil is The Dark Knight of superhero TV shows, in that it's more than just a good superhero adaptation. It's something that people who just like a good TV show can watch. It has something to say.

Matt's faith is almost the opposite of Moon Knights

Hey man, you should do a video on Maus. One of the greatest comics of all time!

I was not expecting actual Scripture to be used. I'm impressed.

Please, do Season 2 and 3 in a near future.

Once I watched 1 daredevil video of urs I loved it nothing was the same 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤧🤧🤧🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Beginning to think you like Daredevil

I think killing ben urich off was a huge mistake such a compelling actor and character

Could you do a video on Jeff Lemire's Moon Knight run? I feel like a video about that run would be perfect on your channel

BEST SUPER HERO SHOW EVER

My only pet peeve with DD is that Matt introduces himself to Fr Lantham in season 1 but in Season 3, he’s known Matt his entire life.

Fun Fact :- Charlie Cox will play Daredevil in Spider-Man 3, appearing with a Big Twist. Daredevil SAVED !!!

can you do season 2 and 3?
