  Hello Marvel fans, comic geeks, and all the nerds in between.
• 0:12
  My name is Megan and I am here today to talk about the newest
• 0:15
  episode of Daredevil Born Again Season 2 Episode 6.
• 0:18
  We are actually at six and it's going way too fast.
• 0:22
  I was so excited for this episode.
• 0:25
  I love that we were getting Jessica Jones.
• 0:27
  I this is my Super Bowl. I love the defenders, I love
• 0:31
  seeing them come back and Jessica Jones especially is
• 0:34
  amazing. So I was hyped for this episode
• 0:38
  and that energy never left. So starting out the episode, it
• 0:42
  opens up with Wilson next to Vanessa's dead body.
• 0:46
  There was some tension in the air when the doctor comes in,
• 0:50
  and I said on threads also, if you're not on threads, you
• 0:53
  definitely should because there's a Daredevil watch party
• 0:55
  where we all talk about it throughout the whole episode.
• 0:58
  I said on there, Kingpin's about to put the smackdown on the sky
• 1:02
  and what did he do? He squeezed him to death.
• 1:04
  Now that's the Kingpin we all know and love or hate depending
• 1:09
  on where you're at, but this is an unhinged Kingpin and we are
• 1:14
  off to a really good start. So we see Vanessa's funeral.
• 1:17
  Kingpin sits by himself, which is, I know he's a bad guy, I
• 1:21
  know he's a bad guy, but it was still really sad seeing him sit
• 1:24
  by himself. That's all.
• 1:25
  He wears all white, he sticks out from everyone.
• 1:28
  It is very symbolic of how he is alone.
• 1:30
  No matter how much he's built, how many resources he has, he is
• 1:34
  still the odd man out. Then he just walks out of the
• 1:37
  funeral to do kingpin things with his kingpin friends.
• 1:40
  I guess I don't know, Daniel's birthday is also the same day
• 1:43
  and BB wants to celebrate and it feels like BB seems to be
• 1:46
  catching feelings or she's a really really really good
• 1:50
  journalist. But the problem is Buck thinks
• 1:54
  BB is the leak. So now BB is on his radar and
• 1:57
  that is not good for our girl. So it all then switches to we
• 2:02
  get her back, we get her back. We actually get to see Danielle
• 2:07
  Cage, who is the daughter of Jessica and Luke Cage.
• 2:10
  I didn't think we'd even see Danielle.
• 2:12
  I thought the first time we saw Jessica would be on that bridge
• 2:14
  where she says they came to my house, my daughter was there.
• 2:17
  That's what I thought. No, we actually see like her
• 2:21
  home. We see Danielle playing.
• 2:22
  We see people show up who we find out it is not actually not
• 2:26
  the task force. We find out that Jessica's
• 2:28
  actually been involved for a while and that she got a call
• 2:31
  from Matt about all of this, and he promised she would be out of
• 2:35
  harm's way. Well, that's not true.
• 2:41
  But yeah, to the next thing. We are back with Bullseye,
• 2:45
  Daredevil and Karen, all a happy family in one room.
• 2:49
  Could not be farther from the truth.
• 2:51
  But one thing I want to point out, last episode, Matt said
• 2:55
  that he knows a nurse. And I think we all thought, oh,
• 2:57
  Claire Temple, but that wasn't Claire Temple working on
• 3:01
  Bullseye. So surely that's not the nurse
• 3:04
  He meant where we weren't gas, gas lit, right?
• 3:09
  I don't know. We might have been.
• 3:11
  But anyways, Karen wants to kill Fisk and Matt disagrees.
• 3:15
  I think this, OK, if you're a fan of Daredevil, Daredevil
• 3:20
  comics and all that, you know that Daredevil's kind of an
• 3:22
  idiot when it comes to these things, Like everyone's killing
• 3:26
  people, everyone's taking everyone out, No one is safe.
• 3:30
  And you still want to say we're not like them, We don't do that.
• 3:33
  But you're on the losing side. I mean, maybe it's time to
• 3:37
  rethink all of this. Not saying I want to agree with
• 3:41
  Karen 'cause I'm not a Karen fan at all, but she might have a
• 3:44
  point. Someone else who is back in this
• 3:48
  episode, Mr. Charles, he calls Kingpin and says hi.
• 3:52
  He stole all my shit. Well, it looks like he's about
• 3:55
  to get nuts and that this episode proves that we we've
• 4:00
  seen such a little bit of Charles, but I feel like we've
• 4:04
  seen enough to know that we don't.
• 4:05
  We should not mess with this guy.
• 4:08
  So after that, protests against Fisk have begun.
• 4:11
  They are big, they are wild, and they are not going to stop.
• 4:15
  So feels like it's hitting a little too close to home, but
• 4:18
  that's OK. Jessica confirms that her
• 4:21
  daughter is Danielle and says that her power is coming and
• 4:25
  going ever since she had a baby. So that was weird, right?
• 4:30
  I don't, I don't, I don't understand it.
• 4:34
  Does this mean that Danielle is powered?
• 4:36
  Like, what if stay with me now? What if Jessica transferred some
• 4:42
  of her powers to her? Or is that too weird?
• 4:46
  That's too weird, right? It's too weird.
• 4:49
  That's fine, but let me tell you, seeing Jessica back was my
• 4:53
  Super Bowl. I am so excited.
• 4:55
  I'm so excited she's back. And it's just a matter of time
• 4:58
  before we get Luke Cage and Iron Fist and we're all just one
• 5:01
  happy family of Defenders together.
• 5:03
  And it's amazing. You know who was back this
• 5:06
  episode? Who I forgot was a character
• 5:09
  completely the past three episodes.
• 5:11
  Heather. Heather's back and crazier than
• 5:14
  ever. I completely forgot about her.
• 5:16
  I did not pay her any attention, I did not think about her once.
• 5:20
  And here she is back. She attends the funeral of
• 5:24
  Vanessa and apparently Heather makes it all about her.
• 5:28
  She goes up to a room, she's crying.
• 5:31
  She talks about what happens with Muse when Buck comes in and
• 5:34
  it's like, Heather, today's not about you though.
• 5:37
  Like stop. And then Heather tries to choke
• 5:39
  Buck out, which is a choice. But when she leaves, Buck does
• 5:43
  look shaken and stirred. I'll be honest with you, he was
• 5:46
  not well after that. So she's nuts.
• 5:50
  I think he's kind of into it though.
• 5:53
  I'm not here to kink shame. The next thing, Daniel sets up a
• 5:56
  trap for BB and says Fisk isn't running again.
• 5:59
  They head to Daniel's mom's house and she doesn't fall for
• 6:02
  the trap. Thank goodness.
• 6:03
  BB actually tries to kiss Daniel and Daniel is so done he loses
• 6:08
  it. He can no longer protect her
• 6:10
  According to him, because he found a file on her that he
• 6:14
  knows are the leaks. So their relationship is done,
• 6:19
  BB is done, and Buck still has her on his radar so she might be
• 6:24
  screwed. Karen wakes up Bullseye who is
• 6:27
  shirtless and handcuffed. And by coincidence, that's
• 6:30
  exactly how I like him. Karen aims a gun at his head and
• 6:33
  Bullseye thanks her for doing it.
• 6:35
  But Daredevil stops her. And I knew these two were going
• 6:38
  to fight over Bullseye. It was so obvious and it had to
• 6:41
  happen because Bullseye tried to kill Karen.
• 6:43
  How many times Bullseye killed Foggy?
• 6:46
  And Daredevil walks in with a pass out Bullseye.
• 6:50
  And the first thing he says is can I get some help?
• 6:53
  You know, this wasn't handled well by anyone.
• 6:55
  But Karen begs him to let her kill Bullseye.
• 6:58
  Like Matt's going to say, yes, Karen, you got to think like you
• 7:03
  either got to pull the trigger or understand that you're not
• 7:06
  going to pull that trigger, but whatever.
• 7:09
  What? So we go back to the protests
• 7:11
  and they're all wearing Daredevil masks, which I thought
• 7:14
  was really cool. And maybe in our real lives we
• 7:18
  can look into that because I kind of did that a lot.
• 7:22
  While the mob is outside getting crazy, everyone is pissed and
• 7:27
  screaming. They have signs Kingpin is
• 7:30
  inside watching it all unfold until Buck comes in and says the
• 7:32
  governor is pulling her support of Fisk.
• 7:36
  While that happens, Karen plays the recordings of the hostages
• 7:40
  and Fisk is just having the worst day of his life.
• 7:44
  So he's just been building and building and building this
• 7:48
  entire episode and we're finally, we're getting the
• 7:52
  Kingpin we deserve. Not saying he's never, ever been
• 7:55
  bad. He's never been bad.
• 7:57
  Vincent d'ofrio's amazing. He plays Kingpin amazingly, but
• 8:01
  I like an unhinged, getting weird kind of Kingpin, the kind
• 8:06
  who just who'll just go choke out a doctor just because.
• 8:10
  But Kingpin's day is not over, of course, because Daredevil
• 8:14
  pays a visit to Fisk and says that Fisk needs to walk away
• 8:17
  from all this, because look at how many lives it's taken.
• 8:20
  Fisk actually agrees. And it does kind of seem like
• 8:23
  we're going towards some kind of agreement where they both
• 8:27
  surrender. Daredevil says if Fisk leaves
• 8:30
  New York, then he will leave New York.
• 8:33
  And I don't know where this was going to go.
• 8:37
  Part of me thought he'd be like, OK, let's do it.
• 8:39
  But then it's like, you know, there's two episodes left, so
• 8:42
  you know it's not going to go that way.
• 8:44
  Kingpin set gets set off. He has a fight with Matt that is
• 8:49
  so reminiscent of the original Daredevil series.
• 8:52
  And I loved every minute of it. Outside of his home, Powell,
• 8:58
  probably the worst character of the show, kills Saunders.
• 9:01
  If you'll remember who Saunders is, he's the one that Karen took
• 9:05
  hostage that helped them out. And he blamed the protesters for
• 9:09
  it. Which is wild because so many
• 9:12
  people saw him take him out. And then the riots erupt,
• 9:17
  everything goes crazy, and then Karen got caught trying to help
• 9:22
  someone, her wig gets snatched off and they catch Karen so
• 9:25
  she's screwed. I'm very interested to see where
• 9:31
  is Bullseye right now. Is he still attached to a bed?
• 9:34
  Where's Jessica Jones, is she at home putting her daughter to
• 9:36
  bed? I I need to know a lot of things
• 9:38
  and I don't know who to ask and I don't know who will give me
• 9:41
  the answers, but I don't. I thought last week's episode
• 9:46
  was the best episode of the season and then I watched this
• 9:50
  week's episode and here I am. I don't know how Daredevil born
• 9:55
  again can do that. It's it's bananas, to say the
• 9:59
  least. This show just gets better and
• 10:00
  better and better and I just don't like, I don't know what's
• 10:04
  going to happen next week. I am stressed about what's going
• 10:07
  to happen next week, but very excited.
• 10:09
  Do we think Jessica Jones is going to be in the next episode?
• 10:13
  Maybe, like, I'll know she'll be in that episode.
• 10:17
  She might be in the last episode, though.
• 10:19
  But then then again, we don't know what's going to happen in
• 10:21
  that episode. We don't know what's going to
• 10:22
  happen at all. Like, are we going to get a Luke
• 10:24
  Cage reference anywhere at all? Who's watching her daughter?
• 10:30
  Is it Luke? Is he still the kingpin of
• 10:33
  Harlem? I want to know everything.
• 10:36
  And it's like, I have to wait seven days now.
• 10:40
  That's the worst part of this is that when you're done watching
• 10:43
  it, you're like, oh, I only have seven days till the next
• 10:47
  episode. So what can you do?
• 10:52
  I guess it just speaks on how well the story and the show
• 10:55
  really is. The actors are putting their all
• 10:56
  into it. The writers really put their all
• 10:58
  into it. And my Daredevil loving heart is
• 11:02
  thanking them. So that is my breakdown of this
• 11:08
  episode. That is my review of this
• 11:09
  episode. I really hope you enjoyed it.
• 11:11
  I hope you really liked the episode of Daredevil Born Again
• 11:13
  Season 2. I hope you will like and
• 11:16
  subscribe and I feel like I've hoped enough for you guys.
• 11:19
  Well, I hope you have a marvelous night and that's all I
• 11:22
  hope for. Have a great night.
