![]() ![]() The very notion that our hero could meet his maker fighting nobodies in a dirty building is the kind of glamourless stakes I’d love to see implemented in Daredevil’s return. There’s a very real sense that Daredevil might not make it. The scene is not only a showcase of Matt’s capabilities but his vulnerabilities as well -something we don’t often get in superhero media. He’s an underdog boxer, much like his father was. We watch as Matt Murdock, clad in black with white boxing gauze wrapped around his hand, lands and takes punch after punch. It shows just how exhausting fighting is. It’s not simply that the fight is brutal. Every Marvel/Netflix show and future Daredevil season tried to replicate this scene. What this episode is most famous for is the three-minute hallway fight scene. In a rather straightforward episode, Daredevil confronts a gang of Russian mobsters to save a kidnapped boy. Sure, the first episode of Daredevil introduced us to Matt Murdock, told his origin story, set up his supporting cast of Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), and cemented his role as a vigilante in Hell’s Kitchen but I’d argue it was the second episode that made fans take notice.
