5. Foggy Learns The Truth The episode that brought a lot to the table emotionally, Daredevil's tenth episode 'Nelson v Murdock' showed the journey that the avocados at law had undertaken. The torment that came as a result of Matt's secret life is conveyed by the immaculate performances of Charlie Cox and Eldon Henson respectively, the latter of which delivers a trailblazing take on Foggy's character as his friendship with Murdock is strained to its very edges. The repercussions of Matt's actions had at this point been confined to physical wounds, but this was the moment where his life came crumbling down around him. This moment isn't as shocking as others, but the emotional scars created as a result of Matt's vigilantism are laid bare for all to see, and though both come to terms with the Daredevil persona this certainly won't be the last time Foggy berates Matt for the danger he puts himself (and by extension others around him) in. Fans of the comics will know that this plot-line was already inevitable from the very get-go, but the way in which the show runners tackled the subject matter will have had many viewers reaching for that tissue box sooner than expected.
Content Producer/Presenter
Ewan Paterson
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
