Marvel's Daredevil: 41 WTF Moments From Season 2
3. I'll Run With You
A bit of a different WTF moment here, because it's a very quiet scene, and one that comes without any violence, gore, humour, or twists.
Instead, with Matt and Elektra facing up to the very real possibility that they're about to die, the Devil of Hell's Kitchen gives an impassioned speech about the future they could have together. That anywhere she runs, he'll run. They'll leave New York behind and be together.
This is Matt Murdock saying this. The man who is only Daredevil because he wants to protect New York. Who refuses to kill. Who knows the sacrifices required to be Daredevil, but is prepared to make them because he has to. And we're supposed to believe he would actually throw all that away for Elektra?
The flashbacks did a solid job of building up their relationship, but we didn't see anything to that extent, and the huge difference between them - that willingness, or even desire to kill - plays out in past and present, meaning it's a huge surprise to see Matt offering to run away with her, and a rare moment that feels like it strays away from the character we've been watching for two seasons.
