Excessive Force

Episode 6 rockets past 5 in every way, that's not a bad thing but it just oozes quality and I love it.

We start with Fisk being made aware of a serial Ki..er in the city and having upwards of 60 victims. He decides something needs to be done about it while he is also being exposed to the wealth of the city and realising he may need to rely on older powers to have leverage. Matt also finds out about Muze and takes it upon himself to change his approach compared to what we have seen this season and use let's say a more physical presence in his tactics.

Without going into much more the quality is fantastic and the fight scene in this is amazing!! You can see more "CG" moments but compared to other times you don't feel out of that moment.

Muse is a nasty guy and I really hope we get much more of him. I read an article that S2 will involve hero team ups, I hope they stick to this style because I can see with more DD it can work perfectly. 8/10.

I'm glad to say that this week I was completely satisfied with Born Again! Episode 5 was more in the nature of what you see in episodic shows, not serialized ones, but it was still very fun and entertaining.

Episode 6, however, was excellent, near perfect I might add, if it weren't for a few bad CGI shots and a lack of creativity in the way of showing flashbacks. Other than that, it was great both in moving the dramatic side of the plot and also in its action. The final fights were amazing, and I'm just so impressed that the Disney version of Daredevil is not afraid of showing brutal scenes.

By now, I think it's an understatement to say that the sole identity of Born Again is built around the parallel connection between Murdock and Fisk: the fact that both can't change their true nature and end up crossing paths with one another in some way as forces of good and evil. The fact that this show executes this concept so well, I think, is a win for all of the fans of the original show, even though, up until this point (and still), I find it to be inferior to the original.

Hector's niece showing up again is just lazy writing. No teen ever has been that stupid. She is also arrogant and obnoxious. I hope we never see that character again.

The fight that should be a climax is ruined by a stupid "oh look he disappeared withiut making a sound while nobody noticed after having been garrotted, beaten to an inch of his life and conveniently been left for dead" moment. Things like this is again nothing but lazy, incompetent story development and makes Matt look like an idiot.

The fight itself is OK, but the antagonist does not have a clear, believable fighting style, looking more like how a person who has never been in a fight thinks fighting is. Disappointing from a show that has excelled in this from its original first season.

Hmm.. I mean he's back, they're back and seeing some shots of muse(finally), the only notable things that have happened but i think it was just a little forced all these things happening at the same time,the scenes, the fights.. it felt like one. I keep comparing this show to the Netflix one (maybe i shouldn't) and it kina disappoints me in a way.

And the ALaya niece or some thing, it was just a little cliché i guess and to remind again CGI still feels weird and overwhelming at least something happened and i guess that's good🤷‍♀️ and i have nothing else to say but it says I have to write more.

Stark contrast with episode 5 (seemingly a leftover before rewrites), with more satisfying developments that are in line with what it seems to want to be telling.. Still, both Fisk and DD going back to their old ways feels rushed in its timing and the reasoning underdeveloped.

I find questionable that a total 5 episodes to get here seem like "a good use of budget and time", where it could have easily done so more efficiently (earlier) or in a better state (quality).

Muse finally gets the spotlight, while it doesn't feel like he will get it for longer. His methods and character differ too much from the comics, with a lack of quality to him, as if he doesn't matter.

Daredevil continues to feel inconsistent in his Action abilities.. where an Artist-Killer easily withstands his bashing, and a common bank robber easily getting some hits in in the previous entry.

With 3 episodes left.. I certainly hope they get there, but I'm not expecting too much at this point.
