My 3 relatively minor problems with Born Again
First of all, I am a major Daredevil fan, both tv show and comics, so I love any content with him. So far, Born Again was pretty entertaining, but something bugs me.
1.It feels like another city.
Maybe because of the cinematography, or maybe because of the fog during night time. In the new show it feels so clean, almost like I am looking at a museum, it doesn't feel lived in. Also, because of the fog, it has a certain fantasy feel. I really enjoy all of this, it's has a new flavor, the problem is that I feel a continuity error with the Netflix show. Because of the diffrent vibe, subconsciously I feel like this story happens in another universe or timeline. Even if I know very well that this is not true.
2.Matt doesn't feel like the main character
In the netflix show we also followed multiple POVs, but it still felt like it was Matt's story. Here, I feel like Matt has less screentime, and he is less important to the overall plot. So in a way Born Again feels like an Avengers movie, where there are multiple main characters. And again, I like the variety, it really develops the world, but I miss Matt as the main focus.
3.Where are the other vigilantes?
So in episode 3 season 2 we see the TaskForce's prison, and with the exception of Swordsman, the place is full of civilians. Isn't the task force main goal arresting vigilantes? They basically only capture Frank and Swordsman, and Frank escaped in season 1. I feel like some time has passed between season 1 and 2, and the Task Force didn't accomplish anything regarding vigilantes. I feel like realistically speaking, Fisk should be pissed about the lack of progress. I feel like this should be adressed in the show.
I know that this could be interpreted in a way that the Task Force is actually only a military police that uses fear and violence to keep order, and the vigilante part is only the excuse/scapegoat. Like how many fascist regimes work in real life. However, in the show's universe, I feel like Fisk's main goal should be about capturing vigilantes. Because of a vigliante he ended up in prison twice, so I feel like Fisk should take care of this threat, and then focus on controlling the people of New York through fascist means.
Does anyone feel the same?
