After weeks of simmering tension and slow-burn storytelling, Daredevil: Born Again just delivered the moment fans have been waiting for, Matt Murdock epically returned as Daredevil!
While I’ve been enjoying the hell out of the show due to it’s strong storytelling, there’s been a growing frustration among some fans over the lack of costumed action.
But that restraint has been intentional. Marvel Studios has leaned into Matt’s internal war with his alter ego. The suit hasn’t been a symbol of heroism this season, it’s been an addiction. That’s why he’s been carrying the horn around like a recovering alcoholic with a sobriety chip.
But that all changes when Muse kidnaps Angela Del Toro. Matt hits his limit. He dials 911, the music swells, and instead of reporting the crime, he just mutters to himself. “F** it.” No hesitation. No speech. Just action.
And then… it’s on.
Daredevil tears across the rooftops of New York City, diving straight into Muse’s underground lair where Angela is being drained of blood. The fight that follows is brutal, kinetic, and emotionally charged.
The sequence is a masterclass in tension and release. And fans are loving it. “Cross cutting between Matt and Fisk as they finally give into their violent natures and let loose with more anger than we’ve ever seen from them hits like CRACK, what an insane way to end an episode,” wrote one fan on X.
Another added: “This might be my all time favorite fight scene!!! ITS SO FUCKING GOOD.” While someone else said: “The score kicking in right when Daredevil finally makes his grand return OH MY GOD THIS IS SO PEAK.” Another called the episode six ending “pure cinema”.
But it’s that one line that really landed with audiences: “Matt Murdock saying ‘F*ck It’ here is genuinely one of the best lines in Comic Book Movie history,” wrote another viewer.
On Reddit, someone added: “I love how instead of a big reveal for the lead up all season to Matt putting on the suit, we just got a ‘f*ck it’.”
I agree with all of the above! With only three episodes left in the season, the Man Without Fear is finally back in action, and it looks like the red suit is here to stay.
I’ve included clips of these scenes from Episode 6 below for you to enjoy!
