Comparisons to the follow-up series Daredevil: Born Again are unavoidable because Netflix’s Daredevil established the tone for that segment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, when a fan criticized the earlier series’ stuntwork, Daredevil showrunner Steven DeKnight quickly defended it. In addition to having intricate, bloody battle sequences, both series star Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin and Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil. The now-famous one-shot scene when Matt eliminates a hallway full of thugs who had abducted a child was the catalyst for this trend. It was both unforgettable and brutal. Since then, Daredevil: Born Again and every other Daredevil season have given the idea a fresh twist. With a larger budget and greater technological resources, the revival did, however, include more elaborate stunts enhanced by computer-generated imagery.
These modifications, which bring Daredevil’s skill set closer to those of the books, have excited some viewers. “It’s crazy how Daredevil started becoming more agile and acrobatic/moving more like comic Daredevil ever since he got into the MCU,” tweeted @theogdaredevil, one such enthusiast. Don’t misrepresent what I said, please. You understand precisely what I mean when I say “MCU,” even if I am aware that he is canon in the franchise. To support their argument, they also supplied a collection of battle scenes. DeKnight took notice of this and clarified that the discrepancy was “purely a financial issue.” “We didn’t have the money to do this on the Netflix show,” he said. We would have if we had.
It is crucial to take note of the programs’ varying budgets in order to comprehend the differences in how Matt’s talents are portrayed. The single-season budget for Daredevil was $56 million, according to Comic Book Resources, while the budget for Daredevil: Born Again is about $200 million. In more detail, the cost of the nine episodes of Daredevil: Born Again would be about $22.2 million, while the 13 episodes of Daredevil would cost $4.3 million apiece. It seems likely that Daredevil: Born Again would have more money to create its battle sequences given that discrepancy. Consequently, certain changes across the series are inevitable. In general, Daredevil’s stunts are more visceral, whereas Daredevil: Born Again’s are more fluid. In terms of style, the later tries to replicate the work of its predecessor, with differing degrees of success. In the end, the viewer’s choice for any certain style is their own. Though they had to make do with what they could do with realistic effects, DeKnight is probably right when he says that Daredevil’s smaller budget hindered its ability to show more comic-accurate combat. However, the series succeeded; as the hallway scene illustrates, sometimes constraints may spur more inventiveness.
