  Hello Marvel fans, comic geeks, not nerds.
• 0:12
  Between My Name is Megan and I am here to talk about the newest
• 0:15
  episode of Daredevil Born Again Season 2 episode 7, The Hateful
• 0:18
  Darkness. So so so much happened in this
• 0:21
  episode. So I'm going to try not to make
• 0:22
  this a super long episode, but I might get in my feelings, I
• 0:25
  might go on a tangent, I don't know.
• 0:27
  But a lot happened and I want to talk about all of it first of
• 0:31
  all. So how do we start this episode?
• 0:33
  Karen is in jail as you remember in the last episode she was
• 0:37
  caught by Officer Powell and now she is in jail.
• 0:40
  Fisk visits Karen in jail, it gets super tense.
• 0:43
  Fisk calls Karen a criminal which is bananas and Fisk chokes
• 0:48
  Karen and Karen looks like she's super into this whole like
• 0:50
  villainy lifestyle so good for her I guess.
• 0:55
  So 2 characters I did not think would be in this episode was
• 0:59
  Jessica Jones and Mr. Charles. Jessica visits Mr. Charles in
• 1:03
  his bed and he is in his underwear and it is is a sight
• 1:06
  to see I guess for Jessica and she threatens him as she tends
• 1:09
  to do. Turns out Mr. Charles is the
• 1:13
  only one that can help Jessica find Luke.
• 1:16
  Now I have thoughts on this. So Luke has been gone.
• 1:21
  He works for this company, Mr. Charles.
• 1:23
  So I thought, and I'll admit I'm wrong, I thought when Jessica
• 1:27
  said that people she knows took up the offer to work with him,
• 1:31
  that I thought it was her sister, but it's actually Luke.
• 1:36
  But this brings me to a point. You've seen the spoilers.
• 1:40
  You you've had. You have to if you haven't by
• 1:42
  now, God bless you. But I'm about to spoil it for
• 1:44
  you. We know that Luke is in the next
• 1:47
  season. What happens between this next
• 1:50
  episode and the next season that brings him back?
• 1:54
  It feels like they are hinting at so much that's happened in
• 1:58
  Jessica's life that we are not Privy to knowing at all.
• 2:02
  We we have years of stuff that's happened and in Luke's life too,
• 2:06
  because last time we left him, he was the kingpin of Harlem.
• 2:10
  So what happened? They have a whole daughter.
• 2:13
  We don't know. So are we going to get a special
• 2:16
  presentation before the next season of Daredevil Born Again?
• 2:20
  That kind of explains all that? Because what?
• 2:22
  Luke's just didn't come in. He's just, oh, I just got into
• 2:25
  town. Everything worked out.
• 2:26
  No, something we got to get something.
• 2:28
  Come on, guys. I think the newest season comes
• 2:30
  out next spring, so maybe we'll get it like January, February,
• 2:35
  maybe. But yeah, that's that was my
• 2:38
  thought. Mr. Charles also mentioned that
• 2:40
  he thinks Fisk will kill the governor to put his own person
• 2:43
  in office, which we find out is very true.
• 2:47
  Good looking out, Mr. Charles. Bullseye is back and shirtless,
• 2:51
  which is how I like it. And Daredevil says that he needs
• 2:54
  to forgive Bullseye, not for Daredevil, not for him, but for
• 2:58
  Foggy, for Karen, for everyone else.
• 3:01
  So he can help with Fisk because he said he was going to do 1
• 3:04
  good deed and Daredevil has the deed just for him and we will
• 3:09
  get back to that. Who else is back?
• 3:12
  Brett Mahoney. Brett Mahoney is back.
• 3:14
  He visits Karen in prison and breaks Karen out of jail so she
• 3:18
  can go talk to Matt Murdock, Daredevil in the alleyways.
• 3:22
  He says he can't take her out but he can only have a minute.
• 3:25
  Girl, you should have ran. You should have just ran.
• 3:27
  Karen says that she has to stay to face Fisk in court, which we
• 3:32
  don't know how that goes, but I don't think it's going to go
• 3:34
  well. But when she's walking into
• 3:37
  court, you saw all the people booing her and you're like, Boo,
• 3:40
  you're a bad person, Boo. That was me.
• 3:42
  I emotionally connected with those people.
• 3:44
  I get it, she sucks, but she doesn't suck as much as the next
• 3:47
  person we're going to talk about and that's Heather.
• 3:49
  I hate Heather and if anyone's watched these shows, you hate
• 3:53
  Heather too. Heather stops in a check on Fisk
• 3:56
  and I audibly said Heather shut up.
• 4:00
  I understand he's grieving, he's going through a lot and she's
• 4:02
  trying to be a friend, but Heather shut up and Fisk knows
• 4:06
  that Heather went through Vanessa's jewelry, which is
• 4:08
  interesting. I think Fisk isn't mad about
• 4:11
  this because I think that he is welcoming this more evil side of
• 4:16
  her, that he's welcoming the shadiness of her now and he
• 4:20
  needs more people on his side because he after this episode,
• 4:23
  he's down someone. Someone I'm still have not come
• 4:26
  to terms with leaving Daniel and BB.
• 4:29
  Damn Daniel, you're back at it again with fighting with BB.
• 4:32
  Buck is waiting for Daniel to hand BB over to him.
• 4:35
  So that's terrifying, right? And then Daniel says, we need a
• 4:40
  safe house. We need to put you somewhere
• 4:41
  safe that Buck doesn't know about.
• 4:43
  South Bebe's thinking, oh, he's going to take me somewhere safe,
• 4:45
  we're going to be OK. But she gets there and then it's
• 4:48
  revealed that he was not going to take her to safe house.
• 4:50
  He was going to go give her to Buck, who was absolutely going
• 4:54
  to kill her. But instead he hands BB her
• 4:58
  phone and he says just go, run. Don't tell me where you're
• 5:01
  going. I think this is a lot about
• 5:04
  Daniel's growth, because in the first season we're all like, all
• 5:07
  right, you're just fists, yes, boy, you know, And now we see
• 5:13
  that he knew he was going to die in there.
• 5:16
  He knew he was going to go in and he was not going to be OK,
• 5:19
  but he went in anyways. He saved Bebe's life and man, I
• 5:24
  got to tell you, I was really, really upset.
• 5:27
  I was really bummed about it because I loved Daniel's
• 5:31
  character, I love the actor, and I really liked Buck and his
• 5:36
  friendship and now it's all gone.
• 5:40
  Also, I don't know if this is a hot take or not.
• 5:42
  I don't know, but are we all in agreement that Buck is way more
• 5:48
  vicious than Wesley now? Like, I love Wesley.
• 5:52
  I love. I think he had way better
• 5:54
  chemistry with Fisk, and I think he had more, Oh no, he just had
• 6:00
  more swag about him. But Buck, he's a loose cannon.
• 6:06
  He's crazy. He's crazy enough that Heather
• 6:08
  wants to get with him and she's nuts.
• 6:11
  So I think that now Buck has surpassed Wesley.
• 6:16
  So congratulations, Buck, you did great.
• 6:19
  Now we are in court. Kirsten is Karen's attorney.
• 6:24
  Everything is going pretty well. Kirsten is kicking ass left and
• 6:28
  right. They are.
• 6:29
  She is a problem to those cops. But Kirsten is not out of tricks
• 6:34
  yet because she calls a Co counsel.
• 6:36
  Now she is immediately badgered for this by the other lawyer.
• 6:40
  But who is her Co counsel? And I don't know why I didn't
• 6:44
  see it coming. It's Matt Murdoch.
• 6:46
  Matt Murdoch showed up in all his lawyering glory and it has
• 6:48
  been so long since we've seen this and this is incredible.
• 6:51
  So I don't know who I expected, but when she said she had Co
• 6:55
  counsel, I was like, who could it be who?
• 6:59
  I didn't think it would be him, but fiskas livid about that.
• 7:02
  So that was that was pretty fun. That was pretty exciting,
• 7:07
  Sophie. Speaking of Fisk, Fisk is about
• 7:09
  to get suspended by the governor, which I think is a
• 7:11
  pretty big sign that the governor's life is about to end.
• 7:16
  So they kind of set that one up. Matt and Kirsten need a police
• 7:22
  escort to leave the courthouse, and they still get attacked and
• 7:25
  Matt gets shot in the leg. So that puts a real damper on
• 7:28
  his Daredevil bling life, which kind of tells you that we're not
• 7:32
  going to get some epic fight scene in the next episode, which
• 7:35
  is fine. I don't know what's going to
• 7:36
  happen next episode, but I'm hyped.
• 7:39
  So yeah, while that's happening, back to that governor, that
• 7:42
  governor gets attacked. She's about to get taken out
• 7:45
  because Fisk wants to put his own person in there.
• 7:49
  But it is all stopped because that one good deed that
• 7:51
  Daredevil mentioned to Poindexter, Bullseye goes in and
• 7:55
  saves her life. And then he just walks out,
• 7:58
  pieces out into the woods, not a care in the world.
• 8:01
  He's just happy. I love that man God.
• 8:06
  So Buck is pissed that Daniel let BB go and he beats the
• 8:11
  brakes off Daniel. And this was a really hard scene
• 8:13
  to watch because Daniel is whimpering no no to him telling
• 8:16
  him to stop. And part of me thought Buck was
• 8:20
  going to be like OK whatever I don't know, beat you into an
• 8:24
  inch of your life. But no Buck kills him.
• 8:29
  And the Marvel fan of me, every single scenario went in my head,
• 8:33
  like maybe it's a fake death, maybe he shot to the right of
• 8:37
  his head, maybe it's a fake body, maybe Mephisto.
• 8:42
  He's dead. So that really sucks.
• 8:45
  I loved his character and I'm so sad about it.
• 8:48
  But back to who I'm not sad about Heather.
• 8:52
  Heather performs an evaluation on Karen.
• 8:56
  It goes horrendously wrong because Karen turns it around on
• 8:59
  her. Heather brings up Karen's dead
• 9:01
  brother. She gets very very nasty about
• 9:04
  it. Then it's revealed that Heather
• 9:06
  knows Karen killed Wesley. Which surprised me because it's
• 9:09
  like, who else knows? I thought that was a secret at
• 9:15
  that least Fisk and Daredevil knew but girl.
• 9:21
  And also Heather clocks that Karen likes Frank, so I feel
• 9:26
  like that's going to be brought up soon.
• 9:27
  But during that time, we also get a Muse appearance in the
• 9:31
  window reflection signifying that Heather is about to go
• 9:35
  crazy or than usual because she's nuts.
• 9:38
  Like I said, she attacks Karen. Karen gives her nothing back,
• 9:43
  nothing. She laughs at her, she does not
• 9:46
  whimper in pain. And I think Karen is Karen is
• 9:49
  pissed, but she knows she's pushed her button just as
• 9:52
  Heather tried to push her button.
• 9:54
  Then the end. It's narrated by Matt's prayer.
• 9:58
  Daniel's officially dead, and Buck takes the trophy for the
• 10:04
  most vicious henchman that Fisk has ever had.
• 10:07
  So this so much happened in this episode, and I don't know where
• 10:10
  we're going to go. And then last, where we have one
• 10:12
  more episode left. So I only get to do one or more
• 10:15
  of these reviews. And I'm kind of sad about it.
• 10:19
  Not that it gets many views, but I just like doing this.
• 10:22
  But there's there's just so much that happened in this episode
• 10:26
  and it's like, what's going to happen next?
• 10:28
  There's so many loose ends that are they going to tie off?
• 10:31
  Are they not Karen? Do we think that Matt's going to
• 10:34
  trade himself in so he's in jail instead of Karen?
• 10:36
  Because that's what I think. Then Jessica Jones, what are we
• 10:40
  going to do with you? What about Luke?
• 10:42
  What about Mr. Charles? What about Fisk?
• 10:45
  What about Buck? Also something I feel like
• 10:48
  that's not brought up enough. What happens when Fisk finds out
• 10:51
  about Daniel because he did like have kind of like a father son
• 10:56
  relationship with him at some somehow and he did just lose
• 11:00
  Vanessa. So he's still grieving and then
• 11:05
  Daniel got shot. Daniel died.
• 11:07
  Now is Buck going to say I took out Daniel or is he going to say
• 11:11
  I don't know where Daniel is? Maybe BB killed him.
• 11:13
  I don't know. I feel like something weird is
• 11:16
  going to happen. But I could see Fisk finding out
• 11:18
  that Buck took out Daniel and then he takes out Buck and what
• 11:23
  if that's the thing that gets him arrested?
• 11:26
  But we know Bebe's going to get him arrested because she's out.
• 11:29
  She's safe now, as safe as you can be, but she has all the dirt
• 11:34
  on him. I don't know guys, this episode
• 11:38
  was bananas. And I told myself before I watch
• 11:41
  this episode, I said I'm not going to make a review that's
• 11:44
  over like 5 minutes. Just make it quick.
• 11:48
  I'm sorry I can't do that. Too much happened and I'm
• 11:51
  feeling too many emotions today. So if you catch me tomorrow or
• 11:56
  where it depending on when you watch this episode, the day
• 11:58
  after the episode premiered on Disney Plus, just know I'm not
• 12:03
  OK. I have a lot going on and I
• 12:06
  still have not come to terms with this because I've so much
• 12:10
  happened and I just, I don't know.
• 12:12
  I don't know guys. So that is my breakdown and
• 12:15
  review of episode 7 of Daredevil Born Again Season 2.
• 12:18
  I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you will like and
• 12:21
  subscribe, and I hope you have a marvelous day.
