Everything about the final confrontation with The Hand was perfect to me - the insurmountable odds, the choreography, the brief moment of respite shared between Matt and Elektra - all of it was breath-taking. Well, literally so if you happen to be the unfortunate bearer of the Black Sky. We all saw this 'death' coming from a mile away, but the moments immediately preceding and following it were flawlessly executed. Frank got his 'Han Solo' moment with his expert sharpshooting, and Matt got to display his amazing marital-artist talents in an emotionally-charged assault on the finest warriors Hell's Kitchen had seen. It was the show's seminal 'do or die' moment, and offered a fitting crescendo for a season that had upped the ante tenfold right from the very first episode. I honestly don't know how Daredevil's showrunners could possibly hope to top this season. But, then again, we were all saying the same thing last year. What was your favourite moment from Daredevil's second season? If you're not on your second bingewatch of the week, sound off in the comments below!
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.
