Daredevil: Born Again (Marvel/Disney 2025-)

This is a reboot.
Here is the original thread when it was Marvel Netflix series, top notch, top audience ratings:

Original actors coming back, word is it’s good, but I won’t know till I try it. Any opinions? I’m currently watching Andor…

I love the Netflix Daredevil, but am skeptical about Disney's reboot of it. Lately, just about everything they get involved with goes to crap.

It is nice that they got a lot of actors of the Netflix version to come back to reprise their roles, that might be enough for me to check it out.

I like Daredevil, Born again - it's great.
It was some time ago I saw the earlier versions. But I liked it at that time too.

It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great IMHO. King Pen's character is still pretty crazy and to me there were scenes that makes one uncomfortable, in a good way due to his acting. Be prepared going in... There were a couple of things that rubbed a little wrong... but overall, it was good, not great.

I am looking forward to season two which is penciled in for March of 2026.

I’ve forgotten most of the plot of the original other than I liked it, I remember the bad guy. it would be interesting to compare Season 1 of each version to see how different they are.

I don't think he changed... He is my favorite character of the bunch. But I also really like the actor. I feel he has done an incredible job in this role. When he is on screen, his character soooo reminds me of the main Nazi character in Inglorious Bastards. When he is on screen, it is very unnerving as you don't know what he is going to do.

I’m several episodes in and am wondering if this a reboot or a sequel? I could not say what happened to Fisk and Matt Murdock at the end of the original series, so I looked it up:

2018: Daredevil Season Three

Netflix’s Daredevil ended with its third season, and it was a pretty happy ending all the way around. Daredevil strikes a sort of truce with Kingpin — basically, he’ll leave Fisk’s new wife Vanessa alone if Fisk leaves Karen and Foggy alone. Fisk and Vanessa both end up in custody. Matt, Foggy, and Karen decide to resurrect their old law firm together, which lines up with where we see them in the Born Againpremiere.

… except they boot both Foggy and Karen, something unknown happened that caused DD to retire from vigilante action, and Fisk returns “having given up his criminal empire”, and there is a reference to Fisk being harmed by a vigilante… this feels more like a sequel. 🤔

So far, the original series has a better character dynamic, although I say this as someone assimilated with the original, while this is a new dynamic I’m getting used to.

Well, It’s always possible to re-watch the Daredevil or check up - The Punisher: One Last Kill

To see that I probably have to rewatch the original Punisher - See how much time there is for it.

As Daredevil is my favorite comic book character, I like Daredevil Born Again, but still prefer the Netflix series and the comics to the D+ show.

Glad Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio are still involved and having fun. They are fantastic.
