Marvel's Daredevil Season 3: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

It's been a tough time for Marvel-Netflix fans of late, what with the cancellation of both Iron Fist and Luke Cage, but at least we've had Daredevil season 3 to lift our spirits. It's widely agreed that it's one of the best seasons of this corner of the MCU we've had to date. Part of that is to do with its surprisingly tight, well-paced storyline, but it's also due to how character-led the season is.

As is obvious from the retro choice of costume for its hero, Season 3 goes back to the stylings of Season 1 which means we get not only a lot of focus on Matt Murdock and his friends Foggy Nelson and Karen Page but also their eternal nemesis Wilson Fisk, as he gets himself out of jail and resumes his quest to take over Hell's Kitchen. We also have some new additions, too - like Special Agent Ray Nadeem and Sister Maggie.

The majority of the ensemble work very well, though as ever there are a couple that don't have the impact they should. There's only one character who can top the list, though, but you'll have to keep reading to find out who that is.

Julie Barnes is the unfortunate object of Dex's obsessions. Though he says he didn't have romantic feelings for her, he had chosen her as his "north star" and so had been stalking her for years since they worked together at a suicide hotline. The monster that he is, Fisk manipulates Julie back into Dex's life and then murders her in order to mold Dex into his pet assassin.

First of all, Julie's bottom placement here isn't a negative reflection on actress Holly Cinnamon, who does a good job of portraying perhaps the most innocent and just plain nice person in the entire season. However, the way the character is treated is atrocious.

She's little more than a plot device and she's written out with the most literal example of the "women in refrigerator" trope seen in a long while. Not cool, Marvel. Try better next time.
