    I’m glad you brought up all the fact that Miller’s Daredevil run wasn’t all doom and gloom but could be very funny. Murdock as a character is such a complex guy. I love the various contradictions he exhibits in his life as a hero, a friend, a lover and a human being.

      Totally! I find it weird that people refer to miller's run as a "grounded, gritty, serious,, noir story." It has some of those elements but it also has turk dressing up in the stilt man armor. Even Miller wasn't afraid to have some fun with the title.

      @@galactic85 It honestly feels like the right balance between 80s gritty crime ridden streets mixed with the campiness of that time. Miller brought the best elements of real world themes blended with comic book trope. The 80s run was the most fun, Bendis was the writer who really brought Marvel characters to a more realistic atmosphere.

    Love this comic. The end is symbolic of the never ending battle between heroes and Villains. Just as Batman is stuck with Joker and Superman with Lex Luthor, Bullseye will always come after Daredevil. Forever. The scenes with the young boy were very uncomfortable because of how real they feel and his fate near the end was chilling.

    This is definitely a grand finale for Frank Miller’s 80’s run, and then he came back years later to write Born Again the greatest Daredevil and just overall best Miller comic ever written. His writing for the character was dark, gritty, but also fun, sometimes funny, romantic, and moralistic tone that worked really well. Miller even brought back Electra and gave Matt Murdock an updated origin story in the man without fear ten years later. Roulette is an all time classic and cemented Daredevil as Miller’s strongest writing.

    This feels like a really great ending to your discussion on Miller’s time on Daredevil. Focusing on single issues often brings more intrigue than just discussing a years on end story arc. It is often the single issue that defines a character or how the writer thinks about said character and I think here you perfectly capture what makes Miller’s Daredevil run one of the most important comic book run from either Marvel or DC. Not to mention bringing in how this one issue of Daredevil may have had a butterfly effect on Frank Miller’s entire career going forward. Great video once again Matt, can’t wait for more Darecember to come.

      @@johnathonhaney8291 Sorry to hear that. I can definitely relate to that experience. My grandma was the nicest person on the planet, she lit up every room she walked into and cared for everybody around her. She was also one of the healthiest people as well. She never smoked in her life, she never even drank in her life, and she just generally took great care of herself to the point that she still looked like she was in her 40s when she was already well into her 60s.
      So what cruel irony is it that she developed cancer through a random mutation? Doctors said there was no real underlying cause, and that sometimes these things just happen. I watched her enter her struggle with so much fight in her and so much hope in her, and that’s what made it truly heartbreaking to see her hope leave her eyes as she got worse. After a while it was pretty clear that she had given up and was ready to accept her fate with dignity and pride, but we weren’t ready to let her go. Accepting the situation and letting her pass under her own terms was one of the most profoundly sad experiences I’ve ever had to endure.

  • @matheuszache7943

    Miller's take on super hero violence is a bleak one for sure but I don't think that The Dark Knight is a reinforcement of this as much as it is an attempt to solve this issue. Hear (or read) me out.
    Batman starts the story as an aggressive, grumpy guy, and book 1 is as cynical as you can get. But book 2 onwards, Bruce is faced with the problem that he can't outmuscle the Mutant leader, he can't be a thug. He needs to beat him, sure, but he needs to do so while showing the right way to people. Carrie Kelly is somewhat of a Chucky, but a good one at that. She didn't learn the bad lessons from Bruce's troubled mind, she learned mostly the good ones and reminded him of that too. The only time Batman becomes aggressively active is against the Joker, which is shown that he wrestles with the idea to kill him. And by the end of book 3, he doesn't and Joker admits that before taking his own life. Both Year One and Dark Knight Returns I feel like, tell a story about heroes raising people out of apathy to fight for their cause (to quote Nolan's Batman: "People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy"). It is a aggressive, energetic take and I believe it comes from Miller's experience from being mugged in the 80's (or so I was told that happened), but I see his writing of Batman as a way to display his outrage towards urban violence being normalized as everyday thing. That people need to stand up and do something. Batman's return in TKDR doesnt come from a place of blowing off steam or destructive behavior (well a little bit, but he comes through at the end of the book with the "A good life") but most of all from an attempt at doing something since no one else will. In this regard, this is Miller's most optimistic take on heroes imo. Inspiring even at its best.

    The absolute master of modern illustration art. The man without bs gave the art movement of this era the idea of 'modeling' by not simply putting line work to effort but the imaginative construction of 3-d movement within the boundaries or bonds. constricting the eye as it tries to capture what is being presented. The simultaneous ability to bring not only shadow, movement and draftsmanship but to integrate the environment as it is a presence influencing the story as well as the mood and atmosphere. I cannot write enough about Frank Frazetta, Jack Kirby, whose vision of environment is notwithstanding utter genius, beyond the scope of what we consider genius, but Miller endowed the architecture of the base city his heroes cohabitated with a characteristics not attune with anything less than visionary. Looking at his work on Daredevil is like walking onto another world, somehow familiar yet drastically strange.

    This is my favorite single issue of all time. When I met Miller at my LCS, it was a must that I got mine signed.

    Incredible stuff you always go above and beyond with the way you present your subject matter,especially comics very different to most video essayists. You mention It briefly but what were your thoughts on golden child? I just got off reading it and I think I kinda love it

    Daredevil is one of the most emotionaly fragile among all Marvel Heroes. That's what makes him relatable to fans, not to mention. His disability.

    This is one of the best single issues of comics ever written imo. I just know they're going to adapt this in the MCU eventually.
    Fantastic story, perfect dialogue and drama, amazing meta commentary on the entire concept of superheroes and their villains.

    Netflix should have adapted this storyline. There's no way MCU will work on this dark story.

    Frank Miller is the Hunter S. Thompson of comics. Harsh truths most people eventually have to look away from.

    The removal of backgrounds in Roulette is really cool and effective for all the reasons mentioned here but man, I wish Miller hadn't decided to overuse it so much later in his career. By The Dark Knight Strikes Again, almost no panels have backgrounds and everything just feels vague and lazy.

    This issue makes me think about how I was baffled by why so many other comic book fans were such jerks when I was younger. While many look at such 4 colored characters as symbolic and inspiration, others just look at superheroes as power fantasies.

    This might be your most evocative video, yet. As for Frank, I do empathize with your mixed feelings towards him as I have the exact same feelings in regards to his work. It's interesting how cynical this story is in comparison to born again. (except his nfts, that is a complete condemnation from me).

    I would point out that "I was going through stuff" only works as an argument when you are not insane to begin with. What was the Mutant Gang in TDKR if not a conservative's views of everything the X-Men represent?

      I enjoyed your video and Darecember. I hope you make more Daredevil videos. Its fascinating learning about He of Hell's kitchen. Also, great. The less generic, the better.
