In the ‘New York’s Finest’ episode of Daredevil, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) told Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), disguised as Daredevil, that you don’t realize when a bullet is about to hit you. The two vigilantes known as the Punisher and Daredevil had a confrontation – initially physical and later philosophical – on rooftops overlooking Hell’s Kitchen.
Following the arrest of Kingpin Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) by Daredevil, which occurred after his conviction by Nelson and Murdock, the area turned into a tense hotspot filled with clashes between gangs and vigilantes, as tensions escalated.
Castle questioned Daredevil’s method of meting out justice without sight, opting instead to mete out severe punishment using overwhelming force in the roles of judge, jury, and executioner. He also offered a teaching point: “Let me tell you what I think about you, hero? I think you’re only halfway there. I think you’re a person who can’t complete the task. I think you’re a coward. You don’t realize it yet, but you’re just one bad day away from being like me.” (Castle here represents the villain or antagonist, and Daredevil is the protagonist.)
Matt’s ethical standards and Murdock’s Catholic conscience about his tendency towards violence were challenged by the weapon-wielding vigilante, who argued that The Punisher and Daredevil are essentially the same. “I’m the only one who can do something you can’t,” Castle declared. “You knock them down, but they get back up. I knock them down, and they stay down.
In the gripping reboot of Marvel Studios’ “Daredevil: Born Again,” I found myself on edge from the get-go, as the ruthless assassin known as Bullseye, played by Wilson Bethel, set his sights on Matt Murdock’s closest confidants – Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll). The chilling opening scene unfolds outside their familiar haunt, Josie’s Bar in the gritty neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen.
Based on Castle’s analysis, it seemed unavoidable that Daredevil’s partial approach would lead to Dex recovering and standing again during Season 3, despite being kept down.
In another example of prescience, Castle anticipated that Daredevil was on the verge of committing murder – metaphorically or literally – the next day. This line nearly became a reality when an enraged Matt shoved Dex off a roof in retaliation for shooting and killing Foggy. It’s solely due to good fortune (and Dex’s Cogmium steel-reinforced skeleton) that Bullseye managed to survive Daredevil breaking his no-kill rule.
Instead of just hearing the fatal bullet for himself, Matt was attuned to Foggy’s weakening heartbeat in Karen’s arms, marking the moment of his death. Simultaneously, Daredevil, Matt’s alter ego, also met his end. With a heavy heart, Matt retired his horn-adorned costume, and the law firm Nelson, Murdock & Page was closed down as grief tore Matt and Karen apart.
In simpler terms, the opening episode of Daredevil‘s second season, called “Bang,” is a deepening wound upon rewatching it. This title refers to the one word Punisher uttered when he shot Daredevil in their initial encounter.
During a heartfelt instance amidst an otherwise action-packed barroom opener at Josie’s, Foggy stepped away from the pool table, leaving Matt and Karen on their own. Matt shared with Karen, “Foggy seems to find something unique in this place.” He continued, “It’s really about the companionship. He enjoys it when it’s just the three of us. If he had his way, we’d continue like this for the rest of our lives.
