Charlie Cox is back as Matt Murdock in Daredevil: Born Again, and let me tell you—this is the revival we’ve been waiting for! This continuation of the Netflix series brings Matt face-to-face with tragedy, forcing him to question if New York even needs Daredevil anymore.
Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) is playing a new game—he’s done with the thug life and aiming for the mayor’s seat. But come on, we all know that’s not gonna be good for anyone except himself.
Daredevil: Born Again Short Review
OMFG!!! I cannot believe we’re getting 9 whole episodes of this! Finally, a proper TV season and not just a movie split into six parts. Even if this doesn’t outshine the original, it’s still gonna be the best thing on Disney+. Charlie Cox owns this role, and honestly? He could play Daredevil forever as long as Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin is right there with him.
The new cast is stacked, and yeah, it sucks some older faces aren’t here, but you won’t even have time to dwell on that. Marvel TV finally delivers on its big promise. The behind-the-scenes drama? If that’s what it takes to get something this good, then I’ll allow it. This season doesn’t drag like the Netflix ones did—every episode earns its place. There’s only one that feels different (episode 5 is more of a bottle episode), but it gets dropped alongside episode 6, making it all click together.
There are a few moments where the CGI is a little 🤨, and Kingpin being sidelined early on felt a bit hmm, but trust me—his arc justifies it. Is this the best the MCU has been? Maybe! I’m sick of people saying “Marvel is back” every time they drop something good, but Born Again makes me wanna scream it too. I hate that we have to wait a year for season 2. That’s how good this is.
Daredevil: Born Again Quotes
Daredevil: Born Again is packed with sharp dialogue, intense threats, and classic Matt Murdock wit. From Fisk’s menacing political speeches to Matt’s inner struggles, these lines are classic. Here are some of the best quotes from the season.
“You’re a real man of the people now.” —Matt Murdock
Matt confronts Fisk about his rising public image. The man went from being Kingpin to playing the role of a beloved figure in NYC. Matt sees right through him, though.
“Vigilantes are not heroes. They are a threat to society.” —Wilson Fisk
Fisk doesn’t hold back on his hatred for masked crimefighters. In his world, people like Daredevil aren’t heroes—they’re problems that need fixing.
“The city is yours, and you’re not going to let some masked criminal take it away from you.” —Wilson Fisk
Riling up his people, Fisk makes it clear—he wants the streets clean of masked vigilantes. And he’ll do whatever it takes.
“You step out of line, I’ll be there.” —Matt Murdock
A classic Daredevil warning. Matt’s not gonna stop Fisk from running for mayor, but if he tries anything, Matt will be there to shut him down.
“It’s hard to come to terms with our violent nature.” —Wilson Fisk
Fisk tries to get into Matt’s head, questioning whether he’s truly done being Daredevil. Because deep down, he knows that some urges don’t just disappear.
“Mind putting the hatchet down?” —Matt Murdock
Matt walks into Frank Castle’s lair, only to find himself staring down a weapon. Classic Punisher energy. Matt, ever the smooth talker, tries to de-escalate.
“I was raised to believe in grace, that we can be transformed into a better person. But I was also raised to believe in retribution.” —Matt Murdock
Matt lets Fisk know—he’s not naive. He wants to believe in change, but he also believes in consequences. Fisk better not test him.
“I’m going to make New York a better future.” —Wilson Fisk
Fisk’s grand vision. He talks about making NYC better, but let’s be real—he means better for him.
“You wanna get your hands on somebody, huh? You wanna hurt them.” —Frank Castle
Frank sees right through Matt. He knows the ex-Daredevil wants to unleash his anger, no matter how much he pretends otherwise.
“Just one of those days, I guess.” —Matt Murdock
Classic Matt. No matter how much he gets beaten down, he’ll brush it off with a one-liner.
I cannot wait to see where they take Daredevil: Born Again next. This season has set the bar crazy high, and if they keep this up, we’re looking at one of the best Marvel shows ever. Until then, I’ll be rewatching these episodes on loop. 🔥 Check out more at wtfdetective.blog! 😉
