Ep. 231. Daredevil: Born Again S2 episodes 2-3 · Vigilante Vibes Podcast

• 0:11
  Hello Marvel fans, comic geeks and all the nerds between My
• 0:13
  Name is Megan and I Am here so we could talk about Daredevil
• 0:17
  Born Again Season 2 episodes 2 and 3.
• 0:20
  I just got finished watching it and I have a lot to say.
• 0:23
  So it starts off with Bullseye's back.
• 0:25
  His presence is known and his presence is looming.
• 0:28
  But who does the presence affect the most?
• 0:31
  Vanessa. Which is fair.
• 0:33
  Vanessa is terrified for her life.
• 0:35
  She is choosing out guns to use against him.
• 0:37
  She is worried. But also she is a little weird
• 0:41
  these two episodes. Like I think she was high as a
• 0:43
  kite because at one point she's just laying on the floor vibing.
• 0:48
  Which is fine, I don't judge. But yeah, Buck has stepped it up
• 0:53
  an incredible amount this season.
• 0:55
  A last season I had no interest in Buck because he just felt
• 0:59
  like a yes man, just a polite yes man for Fisk.
• 1:01
  And Fisk doesn't need that. He needs a Wesley.
• 1:03
  And I think Buck is in his Wesley era, but with a little
• 1:07
  more rizz. That's how it felt to me.
• 1:10
  So with Buck by his side, Fisk is firing on all cylinders.
• 1:15
  Fisk says to the state of New York that Matt Murdock is a hero
• 1:20
  and that he needs to be helped because he's just a poor blind
• 1:22
  man who needs help and he's missing.
• 1:24
  So now the bad guys are looking for Daredevil and the good guys
• 1:28
  are looking for Matt. That is diabolically genius,
• 1:31
  planning genius as someone who is joining back on Fisk's side
• 1:37
  is Cole. Cole is back and wants to be
• 1:39
  part of the task force again. He is angry, he wants revenge,
• 1:43
  and he is after all the vigilantes.
• 1:45
  So that'll be interesting to see.
• 1:47
  Daniel. Daniel is in very hot water.
• 1:51
  Daniel is supposed to be looking for who is the leak in Fisk's
• 1:56
  camp, who is leaking out all of this information.
• 1:58
  And it's coming out on that. I can't remember the TV show.
• 2:02
  I'm so tired. The TV show where it's someone
• 2:04
  wearing a Fisk mask and spilling all the tea to the world or, you
• 2:08
  know, New York. And we actually find out who
• 2:10
  that is. It's actually our girl BB, what
• 2:13
  puts her that puts her in a terrible position and I'm very
• 2:16
  worried for her because Daniel knows it's her.
• 2:19
  He even begs her to stop leaking things, stop doing this.
• 2:22
  He knows she could die, so there's no telling where she's
• 2:26
  going to go with this. But Daniel, I want to say
• 2:28
  something really quick. Fisk in the comics has a couple
• 2:32
  sons, One son, I think it's Butch, and the other one who
• 2:36
  acts Butch is like he is a little Fisk.
• 2:40
  The other one, I cannot remember the name to save my life.
• 2:44
  He is the complete opposite of Fisk.
• 2:46
  But this Fisk does not have children.
• 2:50
  So I think Daniel is going to play into the role of Fisk's
• 2:53
  son. And it's even alluded to at the
• 2:56
  dinner, Vanessa's dinner, and it's alluded to that Daniel will
• 3:01
  be the heir. So I'm interested to see where
• 3:03
  that goes. I'm also still really worried.
• 3:05
  The great thing about the show is that no one is safe.
• 3:08
  No one feels safe. Everyone feels like they're
• 3:10
  going to die. And I've never felt that more
• 3:13
  than tonight because it's like, I think Heather's going to die.
• 3:15
  Vanessa, Daniel, Beebe, everyone Speaking of Heather, she's nuts.
• 3:22
  I went this entire time since season 1 thinking everyone's
• 3:26
  being way too harsh on Heather. Does she suck?
• 3:27
  Kind of. But is she horrible?
• 3:29
  No, I thought she was more emotional.
• 3:34
  I thought she just, you know, she just working through her
• 3:38
  PTSD. But no, she's nuts.
• 3:39
  She's crazy. First of all, why?
• 3:44
  Why does she have a muse mask in her cabinet, in her drawer?
• 3:48
  Why does she have that? How did she get that?
• 3:50
  Who did she have to ask for that?
• 3:53
  Why does she keep it? She's crazy.
• 3:55
  In the first episode, we saw her changing the answers on the
• 4:00
  psychological evaluation for Swordsman, right?
• 4:03
  And we see that play out here. When Swordsman goes to trial, he
• 4:07
  is found guilty, all because of Heather, all because of
• 4:10
  Heather's answers. Heather, who actually does look
• 4:14
  really, really guilty. She looks like she has a lot of
• 4:17
  remorse. She really regrets it.
• 4:19
  So I don't know where we left off with her, but I still think
• 4:21
  she's going to offer herself like she does in the comics.
• 4:24
  So if that was a spoiler, I'm so sorry.
• 4:28
  But she's not the only crazy one.
• 4:31
  Vanessa, she's having dreams about Bull's eyes.
• 4:33
  So he's in her head rent free. But another person who is, who
• 4:36
  is not the Karen we're used to. I have been a Karen hater from
• 4:41
  day one. I admit it.
• 4:42
  So obvious. I have been so for real about
• 4:44
  that. But this is not Karen.
• 4:46
  This is a different Karen. I like this Karen.
• 4:49
  Karen and Matt, they are kind of tag teaming at these two
• 4:54
  episodes. They are doing their vigilante
• 4:56
  fighting. They're doing their thing.
• 4:59
  So they are all at Josie's. If you don't know Josie, Josie
• 5:03
  is the owner of that bar that Foggy and Matt always frequented
• 5:08
  and the Daredevil Netflix show. They're with Josie.
• 5:11
  Josie gets knocked at a door. I genuinely thought it was going
• 5:14
  to be Jessica Jones, but it wasn't.
• 5:16
  So there's that. It was actually a cop kind of
• 5:20
  checking up on Josie and kind of alluding to like, hey, you're
• 5:23
  about to get rated. So that exact thing does happen.
• 5:30
  Matt suits up as Daredevil. He takes out the agents.
• 5:35
  Josie is her arrest is cancelled by Daredevil.
• 5:39
  And Karen takes a hostage. His name is Alan Sanders, and
• 5:44
  she takes hostage, but she doesn't take just any hostage.
• 5:47
  She takes the one hostage that's telling her he's a good guy.
• 5:51
  And we don't know if he's a good guy, but like, he might be, I
• 5:56
  don't know. According to him, it's either
• 5:57
  you're with them or you're against them.
• 5:59
  And if you're against them, they'll kill you, which is
• 6:01
  believable. This was also the moment where I
• 6:05
  realized that Disney Plus's subtitles are very odd because
• 6:09
  they changed. I kicked the shit out of you to
• 6:12
  I beat you down. And I thought it was a curse
• 6:15
  word thing, but the very next sentence was the word fuck.
• 6:20
  I'm sorry if you have little ears in the car or whatever.
• 6:23
  I'm so sorry, but like that. So it's not a curse word thing.
• 6:27
  It was just, I don't know. It's just something weird.
• 6:30
  I I, I don't know. So Heather's weird, super weird.
• 6:36
  But something that annoys me the most about Heather, besides all
• 6:39
  the bad things she does, is she keeps putting Muse and Daredevil
• 6:43
  in the same category as a vigilante.
• 6:45
  Why when was Muse a vigilante? This dude is a villain through
• 6:48
  and through. He had bodies on bodies.
• 6:51
  Girl, get it together. But because of her, Swordsman
• 6:56
  was found guilty. And I got to tell you, I didn't
• 6:58
  think I would be a huge swordsman fan.
• 7:01
  In the past, I was like, you know, it's swordsman, it's
• 7:02
  whatever. But I didn't expect him to have
• 7:04
  such a presence in the season. And I'm going to tell you right
• 7:07
  now I would take a bullet for swordsman.
• 7:09
  When they're saying you're guilty of this, you're guilty of
• 7:12
  that. He's just kind of like, yeah, I
• 7:15
  knew this was going to happen. And my heart broke for him.
• 7:18
  It was so sad. And it's all because of Heather.
• 7:23
  Stupid Heather. So, yeah, as you can tell, I am
• 7:27
  now a Heather hater. So I'm happy to join you guys, a
• 7:30
  group on this. Thanks for inviting me and
• 7:32
  thanks for welcoming me. So after that, Kirsten does not
• 7:37
  take losing lightly because she is swordsman's lawyer.
• 7:42
  So she is in the bar. She's three shots deep and she
• 7:45
  gets knocked over by this hooded figure who happens to be Karen
• 7:49
  in a in a wig who Karen look good like Karen needs just dye
• 7:53
  her hair red forever like she killed it again.
• 7:57
  Second see second week in a row killed it.
• 8:01
  But anyways, so she gets a note from Karen.
• 8:04
  It says meet at your office right now.
• 8:05
  So she goes to the office and who's there?
• 8:07
  But Daredevil, Daredevil says, keep your distance, but tell me
• 8:10
  everything about today. And during the day, Kirsten went
• 8:15
  to go meet swordsmen at the Super secret jail that she's not
• 8:18
  even allowed to know about, but she's allowed to be at.
• 8:21
  So she told him every single step, even when she was drunk.
• 8:24
  She was very helpful. So Kirsten, that's my girl.
• 8:27
  She's she's a good one. So with her help, Daredevil gets
• 8:33
  there. He's able to listen to where he
• 8:34
  needs to go. And this is where the watch
• 8:38
  comes back from episode 1. The watch comes back.
• 8:41
  He can hear all the things that are hit him, but with the watch,
• 8:44
  he can also hear where people are not.
• 8:47
  So he goes into a room, takes up two agents, and then he goes
• 8:51
  into this huge room that's full of people in cages.
• 8:55
  So there's vigilantes, there's innocent bystanders, there's
• 8:58
  people who just stuck, stood up to Fisk's task force, and he
• 9:04
  goes on at cage opening spree. And I have to say, that was a
• 9:08
  beautiful scene. I don't know why, but it moved
• 9:11
  me. It was beautiful.
• 9:12
  And he gets Swordsman out and Swordsman just killing these
• 9:15
  agents left and right. Daredevil's not pleased about
• 9:18
  that, but he's there to save people.
• 9:20
  He saves all of them, and he tries to get them out, but he
• 9:24
  can't because you know they're being shot at.
• 9:27
  You know that that's how it goes.
• 9:29
  So they're being shot at. And who is there to help?
• 9:33
  Karen is trying to help, but the White tiger shows up.
• 9:37
  Angela. Angela is there wearing Hector's
• 9:42
  oh, I forgot the word. She she has a white tiger
• 9:45
  mantle. So Angela has done the work
• 9:48
  behind the scenes. She has hustled in silence.
• 9:50
  She has stolen guns, she's stolen weapons.
• 9:52
  She's stolen comms, all of their stuff, all of their stuff that
• 9:56
  they need. And she's stolen keys, keys to
• 9:59
  an armored vehicle, an armored armored vehicle that cannot be
• 10:03
  shot at well, cannot be shot through and that can hold many,
• 10:06
  many people. So all of the people that Matt
• 10:10
  just saved get in there and they get out of there.
• 10:13
  Fisk is not pleased at all, not at all, because he they just
• 10:20
  stole all of his hostages. So he goes and blows up that
• 10:23
  boat and that is where the episode ends.
• 10:27
  Everyone is in shock, which I don't know why you're shocked
• 10:29
  because it's like, have you? Are you, have you not met Fisk?
• 10:34
  Like, what did you expect him to do?
• 10:37
  But also something to highlight is Karen actually kills someone
• 10:40
  here. She shoots someone.
• 10:42
  And Matt heard it. And I'm very interested to see
• 10:45
  where this goes because they just had a fight earlier that
• 10:48
  Karen thinks maybe we should be hunting these agents.
• 10:53
  And Matt's like, I'm not killing anyone, but you'll go and break
• 10:56
  their bones. You'll go throw them off
• 10:58
  buildings like it's the Batman method, right?
• 11:01
  It's the whole, it's Batman, all of it.
• 11:03
  You're going to, you know, beat them until they're almost dead,
• 11:06
  but you'll keep them alive. Just take them out.
• 11:09
  What are you doing? Now's not the time.
• 11:12
  But we also saw he did not like when Karen brought up Frank.
• 11:17
  She said, well, Frank does get things done.
• 11:19
  And if you'll remember, in the first season, Daredevil heard
• 11:24
  Frank's heartbeat when he looked at Karen and Daredevil is very
• 11:27
  aware that Frank is infatuated with Karen.
• 11:30
  So also very excited to see where that goes.
• 11:33
  But also Karen saying then where is Frank?
• 11:37
  Why isn't he helping, what is he doing?
• 11:39
  Brilliant way to make me very excited for the Punisher special
• 11:42
  coming in a few months. Beautiful, beautiful promotion.
• 11:46
  Loved that. So yeah, that was episodes two
• 11:49
  and three. What I love so much about this
• 11:51
  show is that they will give the tiniest character an arc that
• 11:55
  makes you just want to ride with them.
• 11:58
  Like we see it with Swordsman, we see it with Angela, we see it
• 12:01
  with so many characters. That's like, don't you dare hurt
• 12:04
  them. I have it with BB right now, but
• 12:06
  I'm very worried about BB's well-being.
• 12:08
  She she might die. So you see, they make you think
• 12:11
  everyone's going to die. You just you don't, you don't
• 12:14
  know. And I'm stressed.
• 12:16
  And it's like these were episodes two and three.
• 12:19
  We're almost halfway there. We have 4 next week.
• 12:22
  I'm just, I just want the show forever, I guess.
• 12:29
  If you don't know, I'm a major Daredevil fan, so this is just
• 12:32
  singing to my heart. So with that being said, I will
• 12:36
  be reviewing the episodes every week as they come out at
• 12:39
  nerdinitiative.com. We are going to have a live
• 12:42
  rewatch of these episodes on Friday, so you can come talk to
• 12:46
  us and tell us what you thought of it.
• 12:48
  I have so many things coming out, so be sure to like and
• 12:51
  subscribe. You can get the most content
• 12:54
  from me on YouTube. And yeah, I put out stuff that I
• 12:58

• 13:00
  I am the biggest Marvel fan. Not that it's a competition, but

  I'm just a big old nerd. So with that being said, thank
• 13:07
  you for listening to this and I hope you guys enjoyed the
• 13:09
  episode and have a marvelous day.
