MY Take: Daredevil Season 2 - Part 2
Wow. That's all I can say. Wow. I finally finished season 2 of Daredevil on Netflix and got damn was it great. When I published my previous review, I had only completed watching through episode 8. And boy oh boy did the season heat up from there.
There were so many revelations down the stretch of the season, the biggest being the fact that Elektra is the Black Sky. It all made sense too, as we learned in season one that the Yakuza believed the Black Sky was a person. We saw Stick training her and as a child and protecting her all along. Then he tried to kill her to keep her out of the hands of the "Hand". Man, Nobu's men tortured Stick by shoving the wood in the points of his fingers. Crazy!!!
The best fight scene of the season was when Frank was in prison and the inmates tried to kill him. This guy utterly destroyed all of them single handily and was so damn vicious in the process. Perfect. And the way Fisk beat the hell out him was excellent as well. Fisk is such a great character and when he is on screen the show just feels more serious. Great stuff.
Frank Castle is a ruthless motherfucker. As much as they try to endear you to be sympathetic to what happened to his family, his actions make you not want to like him. None more clear than his relationship with Paige. She wants him to be good so bad, but in the end she must realize that he's changed and now he murders anybody in his path. Makes for a great character and not a cookie cutter good guy vigilante. But they then give you just enough to see the good in him and want to root fr him again. He was my favorite part of the season.
And finally, the final scene where Matt reveals to Karen that he is Daredevil was made the season excellent. That was so damn great!! Finally a superhero confessed the truth to his love interest before things went too far. I can't wait to see what happens next season.
Great damn season. If your not watching, well I spoiled everything, sorry. But you need to watch anyway!!!!
