Daredevil: 11 Most Fan-Pleasing Moments From Season 2
8. Murdock And Fisk Meet Again
In what was an obvious allusion to the famous Born Again storyline from Daredevil's days spent in print, Murdock and Fisk's meeting symbolised a key moment for the two enemies - showcasing the so-called 'Kingpin of Crime' in all his unrestrained disdain for both Daredevil and his allies, and bringing his meticulous plans for revenge right to the forefront of the second season's proceedings. It was without doubt one of the tensest scenes of the show yet, and the acting talents of Vincent D'Onofrio can never go unmissed. The sheer rage he attempts (and fails) to restrain in this scene is completely and utterly unbridled, and as Matt stokes the hornet's nest knowing full well what might happen, we are treated to an incredibly explosive dramatic set-piece which plays to both actors' strengths superbly. Confrontations with the Kingpin aren't just ones of brawn, but of brain as well. Fisk may have succeeded in making his way to the top of Cell Block D (and in bloodying Matt's face temporarily), but the real victory was his admittance of guilt in facilitating Frank Castle's escape. Still, it serves as a fantastic indicator for where season 3 may venture, and considering Fisk's promises, my money's on it being a brutal one.
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.
