Up until now, Daredevil has felt so grounded. Human. Raw. Just Matt, his senses, a few broken bones and fatigue after fighting a night of crime in the city always drowning in it. But then Episode 7 just casually drops things like Black Sky, a child who somehow is not really a child? And suddenly we're hearing about wars, gates opening, and secret forces moving in the night. For a moment I honestly forgot this was a part of the MCU timeline. It has all been so raw and street-level. But then episode 7 snapped everything right back into place for me. Oh right, this is Marvel. And things are about to get wild.Now I'm sitting here asking a million questions all over again. Who is Matt being trained to become? Stick didn't just teach him how to fight. He was shaping him for something so much larger. Something we clearly don't understand yet, and neither does Matt.But man, Stick is honestly really hard to like...Kid Matt is so heartbreaking to look back on. He's just a boy who blames himself for losing his father. His mother is this giant unanswered question that no one will talk about. And on top of that grief he suddenly has these overwhelming abilities that he doesn't understand. That must have been absolute chaos inside his mind for so long. Then Stick enters his life with nothing but harsh discipline and tough love. Teaching him that attachment is weakness and that love will only make him vulnerable and fail. The moment Matt does what any kid would do and shows Stick some compassion; he just leaves him. For twenty years. Just gone.It's painful to watch because you can just feel how much that abandonment shaped Matt. Yet, part of me wonders if Stick believed he had no other choice. If he truly thinks he is preparing Matt for something so massive, so dangerous, that emotional attachment could destroy him... I guess I can't blame him fully.Then there is always this fascinating thread the show keeps throwing in our face: The comparison between Matt and Fisk.People keep saying Matt will eventually kill, he'll cross that line, why hasn't he already. That the man hunting monsters will one day become one himself. The show keeps putting Matt and Fisk on this eerie parallel path. Two men who both believe that they are trying to save Hell's Kitchen in their own way.Fisk truly seems to believe he is building a better city. A cleaner one. But all I see is drugs, crime, and trafficking. Darkness. And that's what makes him so terrifying. Villains who think they're heroes always are. Right now it feels like we're standing at the edge of something huge. Black Sky. A coming war. Gates opening. Matt being prepared for a purpose he doesn't even know about yet.I can't wait to see more of this mystery! I need to know why all of this is happening. See you all next week for more!Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿SYNC ALONG LINK: https://youtu.be/y4Q9XoJaTHII watched this on Disney+

Just wondering, how long does it take to do these write-ups that brillantly, perfectly, emotionally, rhapsodically, encapsulate the episode in your voice. Geez!! 30 minutes, 1 hr, 2hrs? The passion in your writing is sooo heartfelt I feel it just flows. Smh #Flabbergasted

You're not alone in being excited to see more of this mystery and find out why it's all happening..... I'm already hooked on this show and we're both only a short way into season 1. Just like with Frieren and Demon Slayer, I need to thank you from the bottom of my heart for introducing me to this brilliant show..... I'll be here till the end. I just hope we don't get a giant mutant spider episode somewhere down the line ( now you know my complete and total fear of the nasty eight legged monsters 😂 ) Have a fantastic weekend Kali.

Terry In the UK

I couldn't agree more.... Kali's write ups are astoundingly spectacular...they are magnificent in ways my vocabulary cannot even describe... truly phenomenal. The sheer talent involved in being able to encapsulate how we all feel emotionally after watching, in just a few paragraphs in nothing short of wonderous. Kali, you are a literary genius..

Each time I read your writings under posts I am baffled by the brilliant way you express yourself I wish I could put my thoughts into writing so beatifully

Chuckles1004

100% I...almost, almost, not quite, I mean, we've seen the episodes before. I almost, almost, enjoy her write ups more....Almost lol Obvioisly, luv her reactions more, her unifamiliarity, her honest, cute, funny, wide-eyed, expressive, reactions and stunning beauty/character not withstanding.

STICK!!! What an asshole (I love him).

Narutoanime16

I love Stick just he’s an old man who can fight even tho he’s a rude asshole. & Matt not killing I’d say is similar to Batman only Matt has the added thing of being catholic so it’s very very integral he not lol. Idk of any other hero who has as much religion tied to their character the way daredevil does

Justyn

i didnt know anything about daredevil before watching this back in 2018 aside from seeing him as a playable character in some games that i had as a kid. hes easily one of my favorite characters in marvel if not number 1 at this point. ive learned a little bit more about his comic origins recently as well, and the more i see or read about the character the more interesting i find him.

I've been spamming F5 on patreon all day for this xD Stick is a huge bag of dicks but still is one of my favorite characters!

Matthew

The symbolism of the bracelet is meant to give some humanity to Stick rather than just a 1-dimensional asshole. Stick actually cares a lot. So much so that he is willing to fight the fight that needs to be fought to protect humanity from the threats it cannot see. He thinks the warriors that fight need to sacrifice their own desires in order to remain focused. He thinks there are very few people that have what it takes to be one of these warriors and he sees Matt as one of them, but is disappointed that Matt doesn't see things with the clarity he thinks he does.

Matthew

There was an early form of bowling that had a center pin that would topple all the rest if it was knocked down. This was called the kingpin. It later came to mean the most important person in a group and during the heyday of organized crime became used to describe the leader of a mob organization.

Fred Aczon

I think one of the many things that makes Matt so compelling and relatable is his backstory. It's not just one tragic moment like Spider-man or Batman that shapes him, but an entire childhood filled with abandonment. His mom left him, his dad left him, and even Stick, the father figure he needed most at that time (despite kinda being a toxic father figure) also left him. Like you said, it's kind of a miracle that Matt is still capable of love, and still be a good person. If he ever did cross the line and killed somebody, we would probably see it as being justified, and perhaps even cheer him on. He has a lot to be angry for, and beating people up is cathartic for him. Each episode you can can see he wants to cross that line, it would probably make some things easier for him. But it's his religious faith, and faith in what the law should represent, that makes him believe that people can be better than what the world has shaped them to be.

Remember that the Marvel universe also features Dr Strange... so magic is firmly on the table. Stick is an absolute a-hole in the comics too. Great casting with Scott Glenn.

Mister Lou

I see through Stick's shtick! When tough love is overly tough.. I just see the love.. that ice cream bracelet just proves it.

Darian Harman

I think one of the reasons I love Luthen so much in Andor is due to my long-held affections for tough-love leaders like Stick, Nick Fury and Kang the Conqueror (Kang is dead. Long live Kang!). With all of these types of characters, there's a heart in there, somewhere, but it had to be buried beneath layer upon layer of armor in order to keep them steeled against the insanity of the world, and sharper than their enemies.

Bill Bryant

Perhaps the reason Stick stopped training Matt was not that he sensed Matt was growing too attached to him, rather that it was his feelings - he knew he was growing too attached to Matt.

Dave Olden

I admire and respect the actor, Scott Glenn. But the character he plays? he can just stick it! 😏

kaliwali

I wondered that too after seeing the bracelet he obviously kept after leaving 🤔

kaliwali

Seriously, thank you so much for the kind words on my writing! It feels good to know so many of you love reading my thoughts this much 🙀

kaliwali

LOL if the Black Sky was really a spider in disguise I'm out honestly 😅😂

Leo Cannot Park

Hey Kali, I really enjoy your breakdown/recaps that you do in the descriptions of these patreon posts. They show that you genuinely engage with the content and are very fun to read. Thanks for everything!
