Just finished Daredevil: Born again and am annoyed. What a mess making this both a reboot and a sequel. Starts off with one storyline that gets wrapped up quickly, then we get introduced to an awesome villain who is gone an episode later, before finally getting the main story that doesn’t get resolved. Of course they did have time for a stand alone episode that did nothing for the plot and was basically Disney advertising that Daredevil is in the MCU now. Why would they get rid of two fan favourites only to replace their roles in the narrative with less interesting characters? Also Matt’s new GF is just the worst!
The saving grace is that Daredevil, Kingpin, and Punisher are such awesome characters so the show is still watchable despite the poor writing and Disney meddling.
