Daredevil: 10 Reasons It's The Best MCU Entry Yet

2. Consequences

In fact Daredevil is a textbook example of consequence-based-storytelling. The show isn't just about a threat appearing independently of the hero, and the good guy having to go take down the bad guy. Instead it's a series of actions and reactions. Foogy and Matt set up shop in Hell's Kitchen; Matt begins to work as Daredevil; they hire Karen Page; all of these things draw the interest and ire of Wilson Fisk, who also wants Karen Page silenced, and so on. Not only that, but it's a show that freely depicts the consequences of its eponymous hero's actions. He's not just a guy who saves the day and everything falls into place around him. Iron Man had a bit of this, sure, but he was still the richest guy in the world and Tony Stark can do basically anything he wants. Sometimes that involves a robot trying to destroy the world, but still. Inspired by Frank Miller's classic run on the character, the Daredevil series sees a hero whose enemies are not super strong villains but regular criminals, and his actions have consequences. He puts people in the hospital. He tortures a couple of guys.It shows that being a masked vigilante isn't always a 100% virtuous path.
