Episode description

The principal focus of this podcast episode revolves around a comprehensive critique of Disney's "Daredevil: Born Again." We deliberate on the series' failure to meet the expectations established by its predecessor on Netflix, particularly regarding character development and narrative cohesion. Throughout our discussion, we dissect the portrayal of key figures such as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, assessing the performances against the backdrop of a storyline that, in our collective opinion, faltered due to excessive melodrama and insufficient action. Each participant articulates their perspectives on why the series, despite possessing some commendable elements, ultimately yields a lackluster viewing experience. We collectively express our disappointment in the series, inviting listeners to gauge whether this iteration of "Daredevil" is worthy of their attention or serves merely as a cautionary tale of missed opportunities in modern superhero storytelling.

Transcript

Hello, governor. Hello, Benjies. Welcome to Binge Worthy, part of the geekish network. We binge a show to let you know if you should. I am Rakai Steed Nuke from the ville. And I am your host for tonight. And with me I have my illustrious guest. First of all, we have Sintel with the intel. Say hello to the people. Hey. Oh, Miss silly home. Miss silly at home now. What's going on with y'all? What's going on, man? And next up, we have one of the smartest young brothers I know, Mr. Johnny Randolph.

Randy said hello to the people. Appreciate that Benji's what it do. And of course, the OG Triple OG with his ME Thrill and his John Wick suit on Mr. Charles Bath. Say say hello to the people. What's up, people? Blocking bullets with my Kevlar hoodie. What's up, people? Now if you're an audience member, feel free to communicate with us. We're live right now on Twitch and YouTube and maybe Facebook and, I don't know, Starlink, Whatever, whatever you got. Communicate with us, engage with us.

And today we'll let you know if you should watch Disney's Daredevil Born Again. Now, Daredevil Born Again picks up right after she Hulk with Matt Murdoch, a blind lawyer with heightened abilities fighting for justice through his law firm. Simultaneously, Wilson Fisk, a former mob boss, now pursues political power in New York City. Their past and their identities begin to resurface, leading to an inevitable clash. The series sees Fisk ascend to mayor, further complicating the situation.

Now, our technical producer, one of the best in land, Mr. Rodney K. Judo, will post our cast members ratings for Disney+ daredevil born again. Now, while he posts the ratings, I'm gonna let you know that we write the show at the beginning and then again at the end, just to see if anyone's had a change of Heartland rating by the time we got to in the show. So, Mr. Rodney, could you please post those wonderful, beautiful ratings, Sir? Okay. I don't see that.

Probably have to look at the actual YouTube. Oh, all mini meals is what Rodney sent in the chat. Oh, okay. All right. All mini meals. There we go. We are all three minty meals. I don't think I've ever seen that before. All. All. Everybody does a mini. No, it's the first one. Something about how we agree on that. So I'm going to start with you, Mr. Randolph. Why did you give it a mini meal?

So, okay, so sometimes in genre shows, I feel like some of the writers maybe the creators, they're trying to serve two masters, right? They're trying to serve maybe dialogue driven serious narratives along with balancing that maybe serving also fanboy fan girl action pack kind of shows. And this is possible, right? I think andor achieves this goal. I thought that the Penguin absolutely killed it in serving this type of show for this show.

I thought they were trying to do it and they just missed the mark on both and it left us with something that just really wasn't great. There were some things that I enjoyed about it, but it was a big miss for me. And the show is called Daredevil. Born Again. I don't feel like. Because it's called Born Again because we know why. I was originally on Netflix and now they're re the redoing it. It doesn't have to be Daredevil Mia it's missing in action. And it might be a play on words with that.

Missing in action on both fronts. So that's why I gave it a mini meal. Oh, look at you with the double triple corn entendre. I see you, Lil Wayne. Mr. Bab, why did you give it a mini meal, sir? I gave it a minute meal because I just like the way it was shot and that was really it. Everything else about the show I could throw in the way they could call this Daredevil abortion. And I've been all right with that. Oh my God. But I do like the way it was shot.

I do like Wilson Fisk as a character and I like enjoy seeing Wilson Fisk as a character on screen. Everything else, Matt Murdock. I did not need a CSI that's overly dramatic and that's what they gave me. And okay, I'm tired of this Disney formula. I'm really am. There's a formula that Disney plus shows have that is tiring. It's like a moldy sandwich. It's like a bologna sandwich with no dress, with no condiments on and no dressings and no, no nothing. So yeah, I, I gave it a mini meal.

Sounds terrible. Like the way it was shot. Just the way. Because I like the way it was shot. Give it a mini meal because it's a bologna sandwich with no condiments. Who does that? Mr. Chantel, why'd you give it a mini meal, sir? I think Johnny Randolph hit the nail right on the head on a lot. I. I co signed on a lot of. That was one of the things is shows that do this right and the Penguin did this right. Penguin is excellent, excellent, excellent on almost every front.

This is Trying to maybe fill those shoes and it just doesn't have enough. I like Vincent. Dunno, Freya, he's. He's amazing as Wilson Fisk. He gives an amazing performance, but it's just not enough. Charlie Cox does a good job as Daredevil, but the writing, it just can't. Can support it. This should have been five episodes instead of nine, you know, and it just wears on you. You feel it.

This is something that probably did need to be all released at the same time so you can kind of get over it a little bit faster. And that's a rare thing that I say because I normally, you know, like the trickle out effect because it makes things kind of, makes people kind of talk about it. I knew there was a problem when after about the third episode, nobody was really talking about it the next day. And I was like, yeah, this, this IP is in trouble. It's not awful. There's far worse.

But for the expectation that, that we had for it based off of the heels of the Netflix's version of it, it did not measure up to that. No. Okay. All right. I also gave it a mini meal for all of the above. I felt that it was spectacularly mid. Often when over on Sentel's channel, he and I do these reactions and we did reactions to the entire season of Daredevil Born Again. And the one thing I got bored halfway through it where he's saying it could have been five instead of nine. Absolutely.

When it turned out to be Law and Order blind dude. Absolutely. And. And I really think he. We are very big on two things, story and villain. And this lacked both. A lot of missed opportunities. So now the one thing about this show is it's a revisit. It's born again from the ashes of the Netflix Marvel series that included Daredevil. Jessica Jones. I don't, I want to say Power man, but you know, Luke Cage and some other dude was on there. Then they had a show called the Defenders.

And I do know the other dude's name. I'm just saying other dude because he should not be talked about. But in Born Again, we built on the bones of what those shows were. How do you think this particular iteration of Daredevil did with the world building in the new world that we have, even when they took things directly from the comic books? And how do you think that they did with the character development in this nine episode arc? Anybody can jump in here. I'll go first. This show continues.

This show continues in a long legacy of Marvel shows on Disney plus, and that legacy is not delivering on the promise they gave us. They gave us a promise of interconnecting all the stories together. They have yet to connect any of these stories together. This is New York City, where Kate Bishop is at, where she. Hulk is at, and. And where Stark Tower is literally. We had Echo. There's a lot of heroes in New York City right now.

And yet Wilson Fisk is able to become the mayor, which is high stakes, and put out the power and nobody do nothing. Nobody did nothing. Power just goes down the whole entire city. And it just. It angers me. Even Echo. Echo could come back. She's. She's part of this man's legacy. So it's. It's really weird that all this happened and yet we see no interconnected tissue to any of the Marvel Universe. They brought this show back to connected to the Marvel Universe. They told us.

We're bringing Daredevil back the put it into an mcu and nothing is connected right now. The standard extended universe is still five years later is still in shambles. They're going to try to wrap it all up in two movies. And I'm tired. I don't know about you all. I'm just tired. I'm tired of all of this hero fatigued out right now. Oh. Because nothing's about the heroes. It's a bunch of talking heads in the room. I'm gonna jump in here just real quick. I'm gonna jump in here real quick.

Come on. Just real quick. So there's this character, and he wears a red suit, sometimes yellow. And his name is Daredevil. And we like him a lot. And he's proficient at delivering ass whoopings when people do violent things against innocent people. And then we got another character. His name is Wilson Fisk. He's such a badass, they call him a Kingpin because he does whatever the hell to at any point in time. Yeah. So at some point, orange dude. Yeah. These two are going to collide.

But until they do, we need to make sure that this guy named Daredevil does really cool for the entirety of the season leading up to that. And we didn't get that. I don't need the Kingpin who's supposed to be the badass in counseling. I don't need an episode of Law and Order and all the social politics. I need Daredevil kicking ass. I need Kingpin doing awful things and it coming together. And that is all you need to make a Daredevil show. Why we got nine hours of all this Mellow drama.

We could have done it in 90, maybe 120 minutes. And it just didn't serve the fan base at all. So that's what. The problem that I had with the plot in the world building for this entire season. Wow. Strange. They had, they had some villains and some. And some anti heroes as well. I mean, the Punisher is not a spoiler. Neither is Bullseye. There's another character that, that is an antagonist as well. And I think all three of those were missed opportunities in order to make it fun.

You know, there's. There's a really good moment with Bullseye and then it kind of just. It kind of leaves after that. The Punisher shows up and, you know, but it's not enough, you know, the, the other villain that you will see. It's just. It's just not enough for the in between times between like the big. The. The bookends that, that are supposed to be, you know, the pivotal points. And that's just, it's just a wasted, wasted opportunity.

You know, the, the sad thing about this world building and character development, and I'm going to say this and it's going to sound crazy until you think about it, they did better world, world building and better character development on the CW in the CW's arrow verse. Those Arrow shows, Arrow, the, the Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, they did better over there. Now, the one thing that they did not have was Disney plus budget.

They didn't have the budget and for some things, Disney spent the budget, but they skimped all the way around on story and just making us care. So I just. That's as clear as I can make it now. Even though all of us, you know, said what we said, we said what we said, who or what were some of the standout performances? Because it wasn't all bad. You see, we, we. Yeah, we're in the middle of the road. So that means that some of it was good. Just a whole lot of it was bad too.

So what were standout performances for you guys? I'm gonna start with you, Sintel. This time for me, I mean, this isn't any surprise. I'll just name one. I'll just name one. So everybody else, I like John Bernthal. You know, it's something about when he's on screen, he looks like he's a bit of a maniac. You, he's. You're kind of on edge. And Daredevil's kind of like on edge when he's around him. Everybody should be, because it's a loose pit bull in the room. And you like, who.

Whose pit bull is this? And you won't. And you want more of that. And it just. You just don't get enough of. Really enjoy John Birth. John Bertha's performances. Frank Castle. Okay, Randy, that's what I was gonna say. So I guess I gotta come up with something else now. The acting, I thought was. Yeah, the acting I thought solid. I thought with the act. Who plays Wilson Fisk? I think he does a great job capturing the nuances of that character. I thought he.

I didn't think he had a lot to work with because there were weak moments in the script, but thought. I thought the actor, he understood the mission and he delivered on it. So the portrayal of Wilson. Yeah. Yes. I. I thought his portrayal was absolutely. And there's a scene that's one of the. It's very talky. It's a talkie scene at a diner between, you know, Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk. And it gave me Heat vibes. Okay, this is straight out of Heat. Yeah, it gave me Heat vibes.

And I thought that was a standout performance and moment in the series. You know what's funny about Vincent D'Onofrio? Wasn't he on one of those series when he on Law and Order? One of those series? Yeah. Yes. Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was. He was on it again. They just called it Daredevil this time. Okay. Chuck, standout performances for you. I would say Vincent. Vincent did a great job. I would say Charlie Cox, but Charlie Cox, I want to see you as Daredevil and not. Not Matt Murdock.

I don't care about Matt Murdock that much. So any. I think anybody can play Matt Murdock. I think he Daredevil didn't get enough of. But Vincent did a great job as Wilson Fisk. For me, I didn't care to see the Punisher in this. I didn't need the C for in Kansas, John Bernthal is the Punisher, but he's not Kratos. Why you got him grunting in slow motion, being violent like Kratos every time I see him. Granted, that is the Punisher. He's a maniac.

But it's like I sat there and listen to the grunts in my ear and I. I have spatial audio and I'm like, I am tired. By the time he comes on screen, I am tired of the show. I'm like, yo, dude, you're not Kratos. You're not cj. So you're never gonna get that for me. And I don't need why they have you in this show. Dude. My dude. What's the point in having you in the show? You're wasting the show. In the chat, Tom says Daredevil, Criminal intent. Yeah, Daredevil, Criminal intent. That sounds better.

Law and Order. Criminal intent. Daredevil, Criminal intent. You know, the way they treated me. It could be Daredevil, svu. The way they treat me. That's crazy work. Like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm. My bad. That's on me. Yes. That's. All right. I got. I have two standout performances for me, and I'm gonna make this real quick. 1 remind me of his pops, Michael Gandolfini. James Ganolfini's son. Tony Soprano's son. He was a bit of a surprise for me as he was kind of a. What was it like, a bootlicker.

Like, he would do anything almost to please Wilson. Fist to the Point was kind of creepy. I thought he had a bottle of baby oil in his hand. I was like, hey, you going too far, my boy. But his. He pulled his hair back. He pulled his hair back in the ponytail. Yeah. Like, hold up. Wait a minute. Yeah. Yes. I'll do anything for you, Wilson. Let me tell you about that Gok Gawk, you know, the Hawk to a method.

But I thought as his character, especially as the show progressed and as he got to get more power and more trust from Wilson Fisk, the. His. His character change was actually really, really pleasant to see. I thought he did his thing in his role. It wasn't a lot. He wasn't a main character. He's definitely a side character, But I thought he was great. And also the one who really impressed me is they gave her a little bit more meat.

Eilit Zuror, who played Vanessa Fisk, they gave her something to work with. And the fact that they. Because if you remember from the Netflix shows, she was kind of a plot device. Like, she was just kind of. She was just there. And this. They gave her some actual agency, and she became a complex, powerful figure herself while Wilson Fisk was gone. Because, remember, we saw him in not only the Hawkeye show, but in the Echo show, and he got dealt with in both of those shows.

So while he was gone, she was running everything, and she became incredibly dangerous herself. And I like that from her. So those are my two standouts. How they killing you in the chat, brother? Talk about you and the baby. All references. I. I didn't make them. People do what they did. Yeah. Hey, y'all tell Me. Y'all didn't see Michael Gandolfini. There was a couple scenes, and I know we said it in a reaction he.

That Wilson Fisk said something to him, and he said he told him he would do anything for Wilson Fisk. And I know gave him his stamp of approval. And I was like, listen, he took a scrunchie out of his pocket and pulled his hair back into a ponytail. I was like, oh, my God. What is. What is going on on this show? No, I was like, too much. Too much back. We know.

I think something that was mentioned during our reactions was Chantel loved saying that a lot of these episodes were setting the table at this point. I'm sick of them setting the table. I feel like if you setting the table, all you did was bring me appetizers. I'm sick of chips in queso. Where is the food at? And I think the problem with this show, too, was that they knew going in that they already had a second season. Netflix, Disney prime, you name it. All of them. This show be a hit show.

And they don't know if they're gonna make it past season one. They already knew they had a season two, so it seemed like they did a whole lot to set up for season two. So we know season two is coming. I'm not going to ask you if you're excited for it, but is there anything that we could see in season two to redeem @ least our vision of this show or what we saw in season one? Make us forget season one. Daredevil. We need to see Daredevil. That's what we need to see is Daredevil.

We see him in one, like, 20 minutes and nine hours. If it's called Daredevil, we need to see Daredevil. Yeah. It was so obvious. It was right there in our face. What could we see? Daredevil. I mean, Daredevil was in this. In this series less than Darth Maul was in Star Wars. Like, seriously, like, I think. I think you said it best. It's like, you know, even if he's not fighting in the suit, at least have him doing Daredevil things as a lawyer more.

Or Daredevil things in his regular life, at least. Bare minimum. You know, he was just a regular guy doing regular stuff all the time for most. For most of the show. Ease dropping. Yeah. I mean, he's dropping and gossiping. Want to call it the Real Housewives of Daredevil? You can't have deer. You can't call a show Daredevil. Give Us what? He was in the Amazing Spider man more than he was in his own show. Right. You know, it's like he was in she. More he was in his own show. That's a fact.

Like, what did they think that they were doing by doing this? I, I, I. Yeah. So, yeah, if we want. You need something Season 2, we need more Daredevil, more action. Yeah, for sure. Now, they did this, this thing in there where they. He had the. The task force on vigilantes or whatever. And Wilson Fisk becoming mayor is pulled straight out of the comic books. Like, do we look to see anything like that in season two? Do we expect the Defenders to come back to maybe redeem this show?

Like, is there anything we're looking for for season two? I heard Chuck say he's. He's kind of. He's ready to wash his hands of this whole Disney plus experiment when it comes to these TV shows. Is there anything that we're looking for or we want to see in season two or, you know, or where we, where we at with this show? I wouldn't mind seeing Luke Cage. I'm biased towards that show. But so let me admit it. I'm. I'm very biased for this. I liked it. Yeah. For me, I wouldn't mind seeing Luke.

Luke show back up. Oh, Luke with iron fist. All of them. No. Oh, no. Yeah, go and give it to me. I mean, you can't get any worse. We need to recast this show. Can get worse. Yeah. You can't get worse. It's not a horrible show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not bad. It's just. I know, but it can't get any worse. It can get worse. You bring an iron fist and get. Worse, like five minutes, he'll get punched in the chest and knocked to the wall. And then Daredevil would save him.

Then she Hulk will come out the sky and drop down and twerk and it'd be a wonderful show. But Kamala fly across the sky, man. Then, Then Kate Bishop to shoot the arrow and stop Wilson Fisk. I'm running away. And Echo will come out of nowhere and punch him and show the power of love and her magic lord. But I am wondering, how does this show play into the overall mcu? Because I feel like they took such to. To have this lockdown and vigilante.

Like, what is a vigilante in a world full of superher heroes? So how do we even. Like, you literally got Stark Tower hovering above the whole city. You're saying, oh, you're not gonna have superheroes. Like, we're gonna have a lockdown. So the writing kind of wrote itself into a corner. And I'm trying to see how this plays for the overall mcu. Does that mean that all the bad guys get away with it? Like if you, if you have on, you know, your, your, your suit, your costume, but.

And the police try to mess with you and they'll be like, are you a vigilante? No, no, I'm a villain. Okay, go. Go right ahead. Right? Yeah. It doesn't make sense in this world full of superhero, we got Spider Man. Iron man is technically a vigilante. Yeah, like, they're all gonna hate his ass. So how do we have this whole world where New York City literally had aliens coming through a portal that saved the world and you say, oh, we're going to outlaw this? And every like, okay.

Wonder Woman, Superman. The only thing I can think of that maybe could save. But they've already done it. And that is if they did the Registration Act. But they've already done that. They've already done it. Yeah. If, if Fisk, like brought it back in some other kind of way, you know, and like, we need to bring back the Registration act. And maybe, I don't know. Dr. Strange, he's in New York. Yeah. Well, maybe here's the thing. Maybe I think I'll stop Dr. Doom.

Maybe Daredevil bit off a little bit more than it can chew as far as its scope with, with Wilson Fisk, with him running the entire scene, which does happen. You know, the thing about, you know, the thing that we loved about, you know, like Jessica Jones, it's, it's street level, street level stuff. You know, the thing we, we loved about Luke Cage is street level. It's like this is affecting these blocks.

And if that story is kind of like being told, then you can take, you know, a bigger swing in a smaller pond and have a bigger effect, you know, without it absolutely unraveling everything else that's going on in the mcu. But we're here now. We can't, we can't unscramble. They already gave us examples of how small town things grow big with Ms. Marvel show turning into the Marvels.

And now you promised me, they promised that the TV shows are going to be intertwined with the MCU to be one big expanded universe. So you're. You told me for the last five years all this is going to tie together, and yet here's another show that doesn't tie to anything. Yeah, Chuck. Chuck actually told me earlier he's like, man, they did a better job of this on ages of SHIELD before they stopped doing it. So. And I cannot disagree, they did a. Better job of tying into the movies than this.

It convolutes are already convoluted scenario we have in the mcu. So I wonder how they get out of this in another season. They just had T'Challa run through this, run through the city of New York, chasing down Bucky. Then they're gonna say that you can't have any vigilante. Right. That's what I'm saying. It just doesn't. Yeah, right. He's literally saved the entire world. The world. They came through a portal. Yeah. Not only that, the President just turned into the red Hulk and the black.

The black Captain America stopped him. Yeah. So it's like, how do we. How do we now start sending vigilantes or whatever you calling them are outlawed. It doesn't make sense. Makes sense. It doesn't make sense. Thank you for saving us from the red Hulk, Captain America. You're not under arrest for flying my black. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. So I don't know. Maybe it's in another universe. Maybe this is like a what if series. Well, well, see, that was gonna be another thing is that when.

When is this. Because if. If doomsday goes where we think it could and they do have like, you know, the secret war and they eliminate a lot of these timelines and they clip a lot of these timelines, then depending on when this is happening, could it can make more sense? You see what I'm saying? Like, once a lot of these people are kind of like eliminated because there's going to be a mass elimination if it is a secret war. What. What made. What made the.

The first set of movies, the first 22 movies good, was that it was all in the same timeline and things just intertwined with each other really well. And here you have them all separate timelines. Then you give me a finale movie. I mean, hell, a sixth grader could write that movie with chat GPT. But that's why. But that's why Marvel needs this doomsday event to happen. That's why. Yeah. Desperately needs secret. Yeah, they do, because they got to clear up.

They have to believe they desperately needed to be good. Yeah. Right. Now, honestly, I think what if is their best series in this. In this. This last take in the last five years. What if. It's fun. It's okay. But I do think that Marvel DC has a template of where they keep making Heroes go through a traumatic event where they just pull away from everything that we identify and are familiar with them. And I'm tired of that template. They did it in Obi Wan. They did it with Luke Skywalker.

They've done it here with Daredevil, and it's just not a good thing. And I still feel as though some of the writers, they don't like, they don't know the problem, watch or read comic books. I feel like they're these. The people that are. That they're. Are custodial to all this property do not like it at all. They do it because it's a job. Because it's a job. I feel like that. And they try to add some. Some sort of realism to it, and they just missed the mark all the way around.

Well, you know what I think they could have done with Daredevil and it could have tied in with where. Where everything is going. It could have been like, you know, a street level event event with mutants. You know, not, not crazy mutants that can like, you know, you know, not. Not omega level mutants, but, you know, smaller level, like runaway level. Yeah. Kind of mutants and him, you know, trying to, you know, solve the crime with that.

And, and then you could have even tied in Wilson Fisk's with him, you know, being like, you know, mutants will not be allowed in my city. You know, that kind of thing. If you had to make it a little bit better to kind of like tie into the larger arc of where Marvel is trying to go with this next mutant story that they're trying to tell. Oh, my neighborhood. Spider man does a great job of low level criminals. Yeah, yeah, actually, you're actually very right. Yeah. Yes, absolutely.

It's very street level for, for a comic book character who could go on again at a galactic level, you know. Yeah. And we get. We literally get Daredevil in there doing street level investigation and things like that. Yeah. It's just this. I don't know. I don't know what they were aiming for. He was supposed to be Batman. He's smart. Yeah, they. They bit off way more than they could chew. And he's not Batman at all. He didn't have enough prep time. All he had was prep time for law cases.

That's all he did because he was a lawyer through. Yeah, listen, they need. They need to bring back the hand. I need to see stick again. But we can make stick Stevie Wonder. Like, we just. We need to do something spicy. No, not only that, though. Daredevil. I need you to find my Hairline. It's. It suffered under the same. It's just another remixed version of she Hulk. She Hulk was about her being a lawyer, and they should have made. And she Hulk technically in the comic book is about that.

But they should have gave us more action scenes. Yeah. We could have done with a sequence of somebody twerking with Meg. Thee stallion. Like, you know. You know. How did y'all feel? Super quick. Super quick. How did y'all feel about that? Episode one and. And that big, like, oh, ish moment? I thought it was dope. Okay. Yeah, I thought it was dope. I thought. I thought episode one was good. Then there's a steep decline.

And again, we don't see Daredevil to, like, episode five or something like that. I'm like, wait a minute. Am I. Am I watching Law and Order or the Practice? I called that. Is this Ally McBean? I called it. I said, they're gonna give us a sandwich. I was expecting Judge Mathis to appear on the episode. Oh, my God. I want to Judge Judy to show up. You are not the Daredevil. I wanna know. I want to Judge Judy to show up. Yeah, he had it right. Judge Judy. Just something like that. I'm like, what?

Like, we can't see any action in this thing. Like, no action for you. All right, y'all, we are. We are wild, and we are way off the beaten path. So let's. Let's. Real quickly, let's. Let's rewrite this. And now that we've had discussion, let's rewrite it and go ahead and close this thing down. I'm sorry, Trey. How would you rewrite this show? It's still the same. I didn't hate it. I. It's. It's just doesn't measure up to your expectations.

If you are a fan of street level series, I would recommend it. You know, it's like, yeah, I mean, you know, it'll. It'll meet your warehouse, but don't expect. Expect to be blown away. Okay, Randy, how would you rewrite this? I'm gonna go down. I'm gonna take it to a snack. Take it to a snack. It is very problematic. And I think I just wanted. I don't want to keep coming on Beyonce's Internet just bashing shows and trying being overly negative. This show is very problematic. It really is.

And the fact that we saying we gotta wait to season two to try to even steer the ship, and all of us who was very engaged in this culture was like, I don't really know what they can do to steer this one right? I don't know. Like, we just gotta hope and a prayer and me trying to be positive about it. It's not serving it. It's a snack. Okay, okay. Chuck, how would you rewrite the show, sir? I'm coming on $0.50 Internet and dropping it down to a snack. And almost a cringe worthy.

Very close to a cringe worthy right now, but I'm driving into a snack. There's not enough Daredevil in it for me and there's not enough story in it for me. There's not enough of anything that made Marvel great in it for me. Marx. I think I was taken by the nostalgia of it. Just them bringing back the Daredevil from Netflix. We love Daredevil from Netflix. Not because the show. The story was fantastic. The fight scenes are memorable.

And if you don't remember anything else about those shows, you had a great portrayal of Wilson Fisk by Vincent D'Onofrio. Charlie Cox was great as Daredevil. Better as Daredevil than. We really didn't care about seeing Matt Murdock for real. And we got enough elements in those shows. So when they brought it back, we was like, yes, but if I think about it for real, I'm not recommending this show to nobody. I mean, it was decent. It's mid. It wasn't good at all, but it wasn't terrible.

So for that, I'm also moving down to a snack. I just, I can't, you know, if somebody said, hey, let's watch it again, see what we missed. I'm good on that. I don't like, I'm good. Like, hold on. You tell me how that works out. Like, no, I wouldn't recommend this to anybody. And for me, if I'm not recommending some Star wars or Marvel to somebody, that is. Randy said it best. That is highly problematic.

So, you know, so based on our ratings, even though we still have one mini meal, we had three snacks. It's high two. So it did drop down to a snack for our final rating mark. Yeah. So binge worthy. We recommend watch this show at your own peril. It is a snack, you know, so, you know, I. I highly suggest maybe you take a nap while you, while you're watching this. You're gonna fall asleep.
