Why DAREDEVIL is the BEST Marvel Hero 

HEYOOO !!! Just want to thank my Illuminati Patrons for making this video happen, love that you chose Daredevil to explore I think it was the right call :D

One of the most unforgettable scenes that I will ever remember is thr season 3 finale between Matt & Fisk, in the moment of Matt's primal scream you could FEEL the all the strength it took for him not to kill Fisk and that always - absolutely gives me chills. Charlie is the 🐐.

The conversations between Matt and father Lantom are always top tier

As kids we all want to be Spider Man, now as adults we all want to be Daredevil

Honestly. I think one of the main reasons he’s stayed a hero despite what he’s been through is his religion. One of my favorite details from the show that no one talks about is how when he’s anxious his immediate reaction is to pray. When Electra is poisoned he grabs her hand and prays. His religion is his back bone. Also it backs his view of all human life being sacred.

I really hope the MCU uses daredevil to his full potential cause he's an amazing character

How have Daredevil and Nightcrawler never teamed up in any significant way? You would think they would have a lot to talk about.

literally the only marvel character I currently care about

Despite being labelled by John Byrne as a derivative of Batman,Matt Murdock has carved out a unique character history,the saga of a flawed yet convicted hero. He’s more gritty than Bats,more realistic,more resourceful (relies less on expensive gadgets than Bats). DD is indeed the tragic hero.

The COVID years led me to finally watching the netflix shows and I liked something in all of them but man, Daredevil was just different, it is probably the best written superhero adaptation ever, definitely one of the best marvel projects, and among my personally favorites alongside Superman and Lois and Stargirl, DD along with these two shows just understand the characters and the medium of superheroing in a way so many fail to, and recently I read zdarsky’s run from 2019 and plan to read a bunch more DD, he’s really an amazing character

It helps that he's probably been had most consistently well-written comics through all of Marvel's ups and downs over the decades. You can maybe point to a small few writers whose tenure on the character was either bad or just okay. Most Daredevil comics are varying from really good to some of the best comics out there. Daredevil is awesome. His show is dang near perfection (his only real weak spot being the Defenders spinoff in which he himself was still excellent), and I think it's a crying shame that he hasn't gotten a badass video game yet. He's probably still not my favorite Marvel superhero, but he's easily my second or third favorite, and i think it's fair to say that his best storylines are more top of the line than the best stories of the two characters I might subjectively like more (Spider-Man and Wolverine). Daredevil is super special, super underrated, and he deserves far more love and respect than he gets from comic book readers, superhero fans and the general public alike.

Daredevil quickly became my favorite last year. Everyone who asks me why I’m so feral for this character(both the comics and show) I want to show them this. It’s SO good.

Daredevil and Spider-Man are my two favorite marvel superheroes

It is really simple and no one brings it up...its just how characters talk to each other...you know, like actual people talk. That is 100% why this show is great (plus all the great action and themes)

I never really cared for Daredevil growing up but when they made the Netflix show he quickly made it to my top 10. That show was the best thing to come out of the MCU

My favorite scene from the Daredevil Netflix series has to be the conversations between Matt and Frank; two men locked in their ways trying to make each other see the light

Daredevil could EASILY be a villain Much respect for him

I’m so glad you made this because I knew Daredevil because of the 90’s Spider-Man cartoon and I thought “ This guy seems cool “. Then I watched the Netflix series ( really love season 1) , read some of the comics and now he is one of my favorite marvel superheroes. The Devil of Hells Kitchen is awesome.

My favorite scene has to be when bullseye is dressed as daredevil and he’s going on a killing spree. Foggy seems relieved to see him but then notices something is terribly wrong, bullseye launched an escrima stick at foggys chest and at the last second the real daredevil dressed in his vigilante costume catches it, when I first saw that on Netflix I had to rewatch that exact scene like 10 or 20 times it was so sick😂

Watching season 2 of the show made me realize that I actually prefer Punisher as a Daredevil antagonist over having him as a stand-alone character. Not a knock on Frank Castle since he’s a super interesting character in his own right, but I’ve always lumped him in with typical revenge-seeking action heroes like John Wick. But making him a foil to someone who, unlike him, has held onto their morals despite tragedy is way more interesting to me and has way more story potential than just seeking out evil to put down. It’s a battle of ideologies on par with those of Batman and Joker, Superman and Lex Luthor, etc., but stands out from those by being more of a side rivalry to Matt’s real arch nemesis in the Kingpin. It’s why I’ve always wished that the Daredevil film from 2003 and the Punisher film from 2004 a) had both been much better than they were (though I have a soft spot for the latter), and b) had a shared sequel called Daredevil vs Punisher where we could see their rivalry in full flux. A trilogy of films that acts as a prototype MCU by building up the rivalry of two characters by giving them each their own film to shine before pitting them against each other.

Great video man. Daredevil wasn't the first superhero I grew up with, but after watching the Netflix show and recently reading the comics I never felt the emotional connection of a character before. I'm hopeful the new show will emulate the Netflix version. Again great video

I've been a fan of the character since 1986. Daredevil gets knocked down, but gets back up eventually. Just like his father, he's a fighter. I have cerebral palsy. I consider Matt Murdock an inspiration. He doesn't let his blindness stop him from helping others, and he deals with the problems of life.

Charlie Cox is so amazing in this role. He could play this character in any genre and any story

Honestly I have to say while Charlie Cox (In both the Netflix series and She-Hulk) is easily the best version of Daredevil, I don’t think the 2003 film is as terrible as people say. The director’s cut rearranges the scenes to make for a more dramatic and well told story. The Kingpin in the film is awesome and while the costumes kinda suck, the performances aren’t terrible. It’s honestly better than I think people remember, maybe give it another chance if you haven’t seen it in awhile.

Recently got to meet Charlie Cox himself at Fan X and got his autograph, very chill guy. Had probably the friendliest smile I've seen. safe to say meeting him was bucket list material for me.

I became a Daredevil fan because of the 2003 movie (whose Director's Cut I stand by). But the Bendis comics really solidified my fandom. And when this show came out, I fell in love with it. It was SOOOOOO good! Charlie Cox was perfect as Matt & I sure hope the MCU does right by him in "Born Again". Also, Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin was excellent casting. Same with Jon Bernthal as The Punisher. They're in the same league as JK Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson. I do hope that Mister Fear becomes the villain in "Born Again" or some Daredevil production.

Its so great seeing the appreciation of the Daredevil Series, it is a glass of the finest wine in the Marvel Movie/ TV pantheon. It’s been eight years and in the MCU still has difficulty dishing out any show that compares… The Daredevil comics have always been one of my favorites. Thank you for this video essay.

I've always really liked Daredevil but the recent zdarsky/checchetto run has been so phenomenal that he's my favorite marvel hero!

I absolutely love how this show focuses on characters as much as the plot instead of focusing solely on the plot and making the characters one note like most marvel shows/movies nowadays

Here’s an idea for your next video: The psychological impact of Venom.

I really genuinely hope that Daredevil remains your favorite marvel character, and he definitely deserves to be even if he isn’t

Daredevil means a lot to me. I was introduced to him through the show, and have been enamored with matt ever since. The comics have only deepened that love. What an amazing character!

Great video! Daredevil is also one my favorites heroes (after Spider man, Wally West and, another religious one, Nightcrawler). One point I would add about the character that makes him so cool is his origin and relationship with his father. Unlike other super hero origins at the time, Daredevil origin highlights Matt's father relationship with his son, showing how he raised him,his own struggles, allowing us (readers) to know and connect with it, seeing where Matt morals and values came from, making his father death much more impactful compare to others like the Waynes or even Uncle Ben (the 60's version)

Daredevil is probably one of the most thematically rich comic book characters of all time. He has been graced with some of the greatest comic book runs and graphic novels of all time and he has a kickass Netflix show. He has all these great elements including his religion, his occupation and his relationships with others that create a character with so much more depth than most other comic book heroes.

Spectacular video. Daredevil’s story opened my eyes to just how much being raised Catholic weighs into my daily anxiety and my desire to do more, while also being one of the best most unique, refreshing superheroes out there. Thank you for this!

The very first line sells the whole concept.

Daredevil. Spider-Man. Cyclops. Even Superman. Your tastes and passion and the reasons why in these 4 heroes is almost word-for-word why I have loved these heroes since childhood. Yes. Daredevil included. Now in my 30s, Daredevil is the perfect balance to an overly bright and optimistic worldview of a Superman fan. You nailed it. 10/10.

DD is Marvel's Batman, minus all the resources. So even cooler. The 2019 run is amazing, btw. Also, DD is the reason the TMNT exist (begun as a gritty parody), so, there's that.

The Daredevil/Punisher rooftop scene is the best scene in the best series!

Daredevil and Punisher's interactions are my favourite. Honestly I miss how epic and serious heroes could be. You really felt the stakes. It would be nice if they continued this trend with other characters because all the world ending stakes sometimes just feels so impersonal. Meanwhile DD is about the struggle of good and evil, which is actually more interesting.

On a surface level, DD to me is like if Nightwing acted more like Batman. I don't mean when Dick actually becomes Batman but when he in his Nightwing outfit acts more like Bruce. Basically Nightwing who goes little extra harder. That and they have similar outfits and weapons.

The thumb nail "why daredevil works?" My Brain: To pay for things.....duh

Amazing video Daredevil is one of the most consistently well written character in all of comics he’s hardly had a bad comic and the same could be said for his show I can’t wait for Daredevil Born Again

great video the netflix daredevil show made me become a big fan of the character but the breakdown you did of his character in the video made me understand him way better

The man at 5:41 , David Mack, is a wonderful artist. I discovered Daredevil through some of what he worked on, looked for more, and ended up really impressed with both his writing and art for the character. Discovering that first issue lead me to discovering Macks creator owned work "Kabuki," which has become one of my all time favorite comics. I highly recommend it.

I think season 2 is the best of the show personally. It’s about pushing Matt to his breaking point and that’s exactly what it does, leaving season 3 to start with him at his lowest and end with him at his highest. He has to deal with Punisher, Elektra, and Sticks’s ideology that challenges his own as the city is not becoming safer under his watch and his life is increasingly falling apart. The pacing is fast and the fight scenes are the best of the show, which makes it my personal favorite season.

Back in my sunday school days, our pastor would tell us to imagine God as the judge presiding over the trial of mankind, with the devil as the prosecutor, looking to make the case for humanity's guilt, while Jesus was the lawyer defending humanity. That metaphor added a whole dimension to my enjoyment of Daredevil when I first encountered the character.

I love all of these videos about how great daredevil is, I don’t really understand much of it but I watched the Netflix series and loved it more than any other superhero show without knowing why. It’s fun to have all of this explained to me.

Daredevil isn’t Spider-Man lite at all, he is his own man.

Man I’m gunna have to rewatch this now for the 4th time. Can’t believe they won’t bring back the same team for another season. This show was gold.

Among the super heroes movies and series, Netflix Daredevil is always my #1. Cause he is a super hero but does not look super, he go out, get beat up and going home with cuts and bruises. Still he continue trying to make the city better, to help people. To me, he does not look like a super hero , he just look like a dude who just trying to do the right thing. Watching him struggle with morality. It all make him more relatable than others super heroes.

I absolutely love the Daredevil show. It is a pretty unique show and I'm sad there wasn't more

6:27 Theory: Considering Matt apperances in recent MCU projects (NWH and She Hulk), I think his new series "Born Again" will take inspiration from this run, with Matt trying be optmistic and move from the loss and traumas he suffered in the Netflix series. This would allow Matt to interact with other heroes and not feel to much out of place but also continue his development from the note the series ended. The title itself "Born Again" can easly have double meaning, not just reference to the comic (that was already used in the Netflix series) but also to symbolize Matt decision to change. It wouldn't surprise me if he gets scene in water (it could in rain or whim rising from waters after being defeated by villain) as the sun is rising, representing religious images of rebirth and re-batism

Daredevil & Spider-Man in a long hallway fight scene

Thank you this makes me love Daredevil even more

i agree this theme

I'm personally obsessed with catholic theology. Daredevil was always one of my top 5s and his the way his faith interacts with the events of the stories is so compelling. It's tough to outrank DD as a character, he's just been handled so well over the years.

As a young Catholic misfit, I was drawn to the Dare Devil. I note Matt Murdock is a Catholic, rather than “Christian,” which he is, but the distinction is vital. As referenced in the series. There is an exchange twixt Matt, and Claire who, after stitching him up, remarks how she is amazed by all he does describing his heightened senses, then on his ability to take an incredible beating, when Matt interjects “That last part, that is just being Catholic.” I had to pause, because I just couldn’t stop laughing!

I often fantasise about what a season 4 of Netflix’s Daredevil would have been like before the inexcusable cancellation of this perfect show. Obviously Poindexter would have been reborn as Bullseye, Daredevil’s most deadly villain, Matt would have reconnected with his mother which was already an interesting relationship before he found out about her identity, Murdoch, Nelson & Page would have got back together as a practice, Fisk would be absent but I bet The Owl would have made his debut as the new crime boss in town. A much missed opportunity.

I forgot how amazing the netflix daredevil is I was watching it again and it's amazing

I don’t know why, but I’ve been binge watching this show every year on Christmas Holiday.

Daredevil is the best live action marvel thing of all time

I fucking love Daredevil. When I was young, I would always see him in those marvel character books, and I always wondered who he was. One day me and my dad were at some fast food place, and they had a section where they sold dvds. I saw the movie on the shelf and was amazed the dude I had no idea about had a whole movie. The movie itself is obviously not that good to put it nicely, but as a kid I absolutely loved it. When me and my dad went to buy comics for the first time, the first comic I picked out was a Daredevil comic.

Daredevil season 1 remains the best thing Marvel has ever done.

The darsky run is so good, made me rewatch the show

I will always associate daredevil with charlie cox he IS daredevil and nothing will ever change that for me

I’m so helplessly in love with this and you’re video has given its due justice

Daredevil is such a awesome hero and great video man :]

daredevil is really the only one who faces the question of whether or not he should kill with his voices of reason telling him he SHOULD kill. it's an interesting twist on the typical hero morality. most other heroes are praised/respected for refusing to kill, but he's treated as a coward, weak, ignorant.

Favourite DC hero- Batman Favourite Marvel hero- Daredevil

Christianity gives Matt Murdock (Daredevil) drive to go on when everything else goes down.

Daredevil comics are maybe the most consistently awesome of any title. Most titles have lots of ups and downs and have some weaker runs, but Daredevil always impresses. The Netflix show is easily some of the best superhero stories on screen (movies included). I didnt understand the character when I was a kid and only saw him in cartoons, but after the show came out and I started reading his comics he quickly became one of my favorites. Hoping the MCU doesnt screw him over though.

Glad you did a vid about this, I love Daredevil so much

fantastic video bro! I'm gonna go back and re-watch daredevil all over again!

This was great. Well done.

He's easily my 3rd favorite superhero of all time, up there with Spiderman and doctor strange.

AMAZING!! Daredevil is also my favorite and you must made him even more special with this vid.

Nicely done with the video bruv 👍🏻

An excellent video. Daredevil is my favorite character, a hero who I read the comics to as a child, that helped me through dark times. The show was so good and you really hit the points it told and understanding why people love him. He's so cool and I'm happy you enjoy him as well.

I can praise the daredevil series for an hour... it's such an amazing piece of art

When i was a kid, i loved the daredevil movie with Ben Affleck (i was a kid okay), loved the character, a blind guy that is stronger than so many people, so much cooler, i was like 😮 And then the netflix show made me say "okay, i was right when i was a child, Daredevil is one of my favorite super heroes".

the daredevil intro has been my ringtone for weeks now..

Love seeing a video that explores what makes Daredevil great and not ignoring Matt’s faith. It’s an essential part of his character. Cannot have Daredevil at his best without his faith

I love daredevil to the point I read -Frank miller run -Bendis run -Brubaker run -Waid run and finally -chip zdsarky run These runs were absolute bangers.

Daredevil has the best Marvel comics and best Marvel live action superhero production ever

Great video! I have been a Daredevil fan and collector for 40 years. He has always been my all-time favorite superhero. Your thoughts snd insight were fantastic. Much to think about. Thanks.

Great video keep up the good work

I love Daredevil. He is good but hypocritical and violent. He enjoys pounding on criminals and wears the symbol of everything his religion stands against. His world is dark. Which can give him justification but in the end he is just a man who wants to make his father proud. He helps people with real crimes and real issues unlike most heroes who just fight aliens and super villains.

Damn missed the premiere 😭 love your videos

I’m definitely just going to rewatch this gold mine on Netflix instead of waiting for Disney to sht all over it.

My favorite superhero ever! This one just became one of my favorite videos. Thank you!

Great video!!! Daredevil is in my top 5 heroes of all time.

Daredevil as a character and as a show is amazing.

Daredevil season 3 is genuinely my favourite superhero media ever made

i was in the midst of re-watching the first two seasons of the show when this released. I just finished the third season a minute ago and will be watching your video instantly.

I just finished watching Daredevil season 3 and I gotta say, it's the best Marvel show in my opinion out of all of the MCU/Defenders shows.

The daredevil TV show was the only time in my life where I cheered and clapped at the end of a TV show. When he says I beat you… Goosebumps.

So excited to see this. My favourite RU-vidr and favourite comic book character. Day made

Daredevil is quite easily the best written Marvel character ever.

I’m beyond greatfull to Netflix and marvel for introducing me to this amazing character
