I’m more concerned than ever that Marvel has taken the wrong lessons from the titular character’s prior appearances in light of recent remarks made by the showrunner of Daredevil: Born Again. Daredevil: Born Again is a continuation of the Netflix series, as many people are already aware. The MCU project was originally intended to be a soft reboot of the Netflix series, but its course was slightly altered by a reworking of Marvel’s future TV series. It is now anticipated that Daredevil: Born Again will be essentially Daredevil season 4, although with a new title. For myself and many other Defenders timeline fans on Netflix, who hold a number of those programs in high respect, this was a pleasant surprise. Daredevil is frequently ranked first among the Netflix Defenders series, and there is a persistent expectation that Daredevil: Born Again will build on its success and bring the show’s compelling aspects to the MCU. I was hopeful that Marvel Studios had succeeded in this area after watching the teaser for Daredevil: Born Again, but the showrunner’s recent remarks have made me worry again.
Showrunner Dario Scardapane was interviewed by SFX in an attempt to promote Daredevil: Born Again, detailing which aspects of the Netflix series will be used into the MCU production. However, after reading his comments, I’m worried that Scardapane has misinterpreted the greatest and worst aspects of Netflix’s Daredevil. Daredevil: Born Again will have “more fun in the moments with these characters and a lot less navel-gazing than before,” according to Scardapane. Scardapane continues by stating that “the earlier show, at its best, was fantastic… at its worst, it was two characters in a room talking about what a hero is.” Scardapane maintains that Daredevil: Born Again will have less sequences of “characters grousing about their lot in life,” even if he does not claim he is only “taking swipes” at the Netflix series. It appears that Scardapane has strong opinions regarding the Netflix series Daredevil: Born Again, but I fear he has misinterpreted what initially made the latter so fantastic.
I will agree that Scardapane’s desire to include more enjoyable interpersonal interactions to Daredevil: Born Again is a good thing, but I disagree with his assertion that the characters’ idle chatter was the weakest aspect of the film. Many people would probably concur with me when I say that Daredevil’s character development was its greatest asset on Netflix. It’s unsettling to hear the showrunner of the new Daredevil for the MCU suggest differently.
It is the heartfelt, excellently written, brilliantly performed character scenes in Daredevil that stand out to me…
It’s not the stereotypically entertaining action scenes that come to mind when I consider my favorite moments from Daredevil’s three seasons. These are fantastic sequences, of course, and ought to be in any Marvel Comics adaptation, but what really strikes me are the character scenes in Daredevil that are poignant, masterfully written, and masterfully done. Daredevil’s strength was its examination of morality and heroism, which was motivated by its characters. This was seen in the several captivating encounters between Matt and Kingpin, as well as in the back-and-forth between Matt and Foggy over why the former should be Daredevil in season 1, episode 10. What comes to mind when I consider my favorite moments from Daredevil’s three seasons are not the typically entertaining action scenes. These are wonderful sequences, of course, and ought to be in any Marvel Comics movie, but what really grabs my attention are Daredevil’s poignant, masterfully written, and masterfully done character scenes. Whether it was the argument between Matt and Foggy in season 1, episode 10, or the numerous interesting exchanges between Matt and Kingpin, Daredevil’s strength lay in its examination of morality and heroism, which was motivated by its characters.
Admittedly, I still have high hopes for Daredevil: Born Again, even in light of Scardapane’s remarks. The shorter duration of the presentation is perhaps one of the main causes of this. If I had any complaints about Netflix’s requirement that Marvel series be 13 episodes long, it would be that the middle part of each season seemed to drag a little. Given that Daredevil: Born Again is anticipated to consist of nine episodes, the pacing will likely tighten in response to Scardapane’s remarks. In this regard, Scardapane does make reference to The Punisher, stating that less time will be devoted to attempting to pack scenes with conversation before to the next major action sequence. The cast of Daredevil: Born Again has publicly discussed how much better the show is following Marvel’s makeover, which offers me some optimism even if this may be concerning and confirm my worries. All in all, I remain enthusiastic about Daredevil: Born Again and hope Scardapane has managed to strike a balance between action and conversation, but I can’t help but worry that Marvel could have taken the wrong cues from Netflix’s Daredevil.
