Daredevil | Season 1 Episodes 3 + 4 | Unedited Reaction (Patreon)

Episodes 3 and 4 felt like the show stopped warming up and finally started confessing things it had been holding back. The bowling ball scene was brutal. Not even just because of the bones and the violence, but because of how casual it felt. Just pure cruelty done quickly, efficiently, without a single thread of hesitation or denial. It set the tone for that episode so clearly: the world doesn't really need supervillains to be terrifying. Ordinary men can do way worse. Ben Urich's storyline is pretty intense right away. He seems to be pulling at threads that everyone else is clearly too afraid to touch. I love that fear isn't really loud in this show. It's just practical. It's exhaustion. It's people choosing safety over justice because they have learned what justice really costs. Matt has made these episodes painfully clear that he isn't doing this because he thinks he can win and really bring it all down. He's doing it because he doesn't want to stop. He wants to clean up his little part of the city out of memories, out of love, out of care. But there is this stubborn, almost self-punishing nature to him. Like if he rests and lets crime slide again in Hell's Kitchen, the inside of him might explode. His Catholic guilt, his physical suffering, and his morals are all so fascinating to watch. They're heavy. Every bruise he receives feels like a confession for him.Finally hearing the name Wilson Fisk spoken aloud was wild. And the MUSIC that swept in once it was whispered was literally chilling. After the way Heely brutally murdered himself after just speaking his name, I was expecting this cold, ruthless, monster to appear next. Instead we meet a man who is awkward, soft-spoken, and visibly nervous over a beautiful woman and a painting?Watching Fisk go on a date was unsettling in a really fascinating way. The way he fixates on Vanessa and interprets beauty and violence. It almost makes him feel oddly human. He isn't charming in a traditional way. He's shy, almost fragile, like someone who never really learned how to exist gently and is figuring it out for the first time. Theres something almost sweet about it... which makes it even more terrifying because we know what he's capable of. And he shows us in the end of Episode 4.I didn't expect to feel this conflicted about Fisk right away. I know who he is because of Spider-Man and Hawkeye, but here? I'm almost more curious about him instead of afraid. This tenderness isn't a weakness the show will just throw away. It has to be the fuse. The thing that's going to make everything that comes next hurt even more. It has me worried for Matt's body and soul.Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿SYNC ALONG LINK: https://youtu.be/kLQ6DvoxJioI watched this on Disney+
