FUCK THIS SHOW. FUCK THIS COMPANY. FUCK THE WRITERS. FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ABOMINATION OF A SERIES. This isn’t Daredevil man This isn’t a continuation. This isn’t even THE SAME fucking show. It’s an insult, a spit in the face and a goddamn fucking fuck wax museum animatronic of what once was peak fiction and now it’s reduced to whatever this fucking mutilated corpse of a series is supposed to be Muse was the only fucking thing I was looking forward to, and they actually had the AUDACITY to cast him properly and get the costume right. But instead of actually adapting his character properly, they mutilate him beyond recognition, turn him into an afterthought, a footnote and a COMPLETE disgrace. I have waited YEARS LITERAL. FUCKING. YEARS for this character to finally get his due, and instead, they make him into a fucking joke because apparently, NOBODY in the writer’s room has ever actually READ A FUCKING COMIC. Oh but it doesnt stop there, because the entire show is a fucking trainwreck from start to finish (SO FAR) The tracks aren’t even laid out properly so it just derails at every possible moment The pacing is so fucking atrocious, it feels like an AI tried to stitch together completely different drafts of scripts written by people who don’t even speak the same fucking language. The plotlines are either introduced and immediately abandoned or completely bungled in ways that make no goddamn sense.

They completely butcher Matt as a character. And I don’t mean in the way a tragic hero suffers BECAUSE I mean they write him as if they genuinely don’t even understand who he is. Like they’ve never even SEEN the original show, let alone read the comics. He makes decisions so monumentally stupid, so catastrophically out of character, that I would genuinely believe this is some kind of cruel parody if it wasn’t so clear that Disney actually thought this was a good idea The courtroom scene is one of the worst things I have EVER seen on television. I cannot stress enough how much of a fucking travesty it is. Nothing about it works. It is NOT SUSPENSEFUL OR INTENSE LIKE FRANK'S SCENE IN SEASON 2 It actively makes Matt look like a complete idiot who has no idea what the fuck he’s doing They frame the previous episode as if he accidentally kills a corrupt cop while protecting a witness (AND WE EVEN HEAR HIS NECK CRACK THE MOMENT HE GETS SLAMMED HEADFIRST INTO THE FLOOR), only for that to be completely retconned in the dumbest way possible. So why the fuck was that even included? Did they forget to edit it out? Did they rewrite the first four episodes and forget to remove the scraps of an abandoned plotline? And then, to top it off, Matt in his infinite wisdom outs Hector Ayala in the courtroom and THEN CONVINCES HIM TO GO BACK OUT AS WHITE TIGER, KNOWING DAMN WELL HE JUST FUCKING LEAKED HIS IDENTITY TO EVERYONE. AND THEN HE ICED IN THE STREET, AND MATT BARELY FUCKING CARES

Like, what the actual fuck am I watching? What is this writing? How do you fumble the bag this hard? How do you take one of the most interesting side characters and just fucking kill him off for nothing, without any emotional weight or consequence? Oh right, so his daughter can take up the mantle and immediately get captured in episode 6. Great storytelling. Amazing writing. Peak FICTION AMIRIGHT? js pull the fucking trigger already i cant handle this shit no mo bro Like i get it, Hector doesn't last long in the comics either and Ava is arguably the definitive White Tiger and is the most recognized. Shit she is supposed to take on the mantle. But that doesn’t mean you just throw Hector aside like some disposable character You can't just kill him off in the most meaningless, underwhelming way and then pretend like it's all fine. There was potential for a real arc here, and they just pissed it all away Other than that, RIP Kamar de los Reyes, gone too soon. FUCK don’t even get me started on the way they fucking sidelined Foggy and Karen, the two most important supporting characters in the original series, for absolutely NO FUCKING REASON No no, the reason was so they could focus on a bunch of new characters who add absolutely nothing to the show, because the writers think they can just strip out all the things people actually liked about the original and replace them with literal nothingness call it a day and somehow expect fans to be on board

AND FRANK. THEY ARE GOING TO FUCK UP FRANK SO BAD. I ALREADY KNOW IT. IT IS INEVITABLE. EVEN WITH HOW HIS SCENE WITH MATT IN EPISODE 4 HAS ADMITTEDLY THE BEST DIALOGUE IN THE ENTIRE SHOW SO FAR (LIKE THAT IS EVEN A HIGH BAR)

This isn’t even just bad bcuz this shit is actively insulting It is the television equivalent of a rotting corpse being paraded around in broad daylight while Disney puppeteers its lifeless limbs pretending everything is fine The soul is gone, the spirit is gone. the heart is gone. It is empty and hollow and fucking infuriating to watch The entire season is just a series of failures stacked on top of each other I’m still going to finish it, and yeah alright ill be optimistic maybe season 2 might be half decent, but I fucking doubt they’re going to do the Shadowland run justice (EVEN WITH HOW ABSOLUTELY DIVISIVE THAT RUN IS) fuck elektra isn’t even coming back, and without her, how the hell are they going to handle that storyline? It feels like they’re just throwing out everything that made it work in the comics. But even with two episodes left this season, I have absolutely no hope for any of it. This show is still awful and they’ve made a mockery of what was once great I’m not holding my breath for them to fix it in season 2 This show gets a 3.4/10. Follow me on bluesky btw. @_rmbk9.bsky.social (without the underscore) I am not using twitter.
