you know what. smh. I never thought about how his advanced form of touch can backfire. If he can feel that mean he will feel much more pain than anyone else. Smh. That means when he gets hit it is probably 3x as painful.
Before the Netflix series I hated how people underestimated Daredevil. "Oh, so he's not actually blind, he can still see." No, it's more than that. Matt has to continuously concentrate to understand the world around him through 4 senses, while regular folk just have the big one. Telepaths get dazed and discombobulated when peering into Matt's head. The sheer amount of discipline is what makes Daredevil Daredevil.
I can't help but think of how one time in the comics, Psylocke tried to take over Matt's mind, but was unable to because all of the sensory information that Matt had to train to deal with on an everyday basis. Dealing with all the sensory info all at once was too much for her
@@shubhroy7960 more to the fact, he can hear so well he hears lies, knows exactly what everyone's reactions are in real time to his and his court opposition statements so the I'm a good lawyer kinda works
I just loved how Cox made the fighting scenes all look believable. Not so much of these stupid flying leg suplexes that other heroes do that would never work in real life, but more gritty brawling, boxing, muai thai etc
@@NickRHT Dude Daredevil isn't even comparable to shitty MCU flicks that are nothing but money making machines full of ugly CGI and childish jokes. The only recent good one was NWH.
I hadn't even considered that Matt likely feels far more pain than a regular human. That makes his feats of continuing to fight after getting shot and stabbed even more impressive than they already were. Also, Season 3 is probably my favorite.
@@tas7606 I would say it’s quite impossible to ignore a sharp knife under your ribs pulling you across a floor after your back was sliced open and your stomach was sliced open.
Season 3 was great, the villain Bullseye was menacing and we got to see his perspective as well. Even though the hallway fight was incredible, the prison fight in season 3 is remarkable, and a longer one-take than the hallway fight.
The prison fight is amazing. I keep trying to get my friends who haven't seen Daredevil to watch it because if anyone can watch that whole sequence and doesn't want to binge the entire show, I don't think they're human.
Well the hallway fight is actually 4 takes spliced together very seamlessly to make it seem like one take, same with the prison fight, but I completely agree. The prison fight feels more tense/desperate as Matt has been drugged.
Idk about my favorite fight, but Matt's full backstory with Electra (I believe it was season 2 episode 2) is some of the best 45 minutes of television I've ever seen. The story of his dates with Electra and Karen cutting back and forth perfectly symbolizes his inner struggles for the entire show. He's constantly torn between dangerous, ruthless Electra, and kind, supportive Karen in the exact same way he's torn between killing dangerous criminals and letting them live. He's like a much better written Batman.
Yes I agree wholeheartedly. I’m happy that they delved into the extremely unique/borderline abusive relationship between him and Electra, and the calming and supportive version with Karen. This show is just so good.
Season 2 is probably my favorite just because you get to see him the suit more and I like Punisher. As for the fight scene it the hallway fight. Which one? Yes
Season 2 was still good. Instead of bring Nobu back and having Elektra be a focal point of the plot. I would have multiple factions fight over hell's kitchen such as Union Allied, the hand (lead by madam Gao), and various others. I'd have Elektra get kidnapped by the hand instead of a death fake out.
MCU stans writing “he’s a really good lawyer” on every piece of Daredevil media ever concieved while at the same time having no fucking clue on who or what the character is outside of his No Way Home Appearance.
Season 3 is my personal favorite. I just love how the story keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire way. Overall, Daredevil is my favorite tv show ever made and I don't think that will ever change
My favourite season has to be 1, I love the menacing take he took on daredevil. Like when he has that man against the roof and tells him he enjoys hurting people, when he saves Claire and taunts her capture, and finally when he's interrogating the man for Fisks name. Such an intimidating opponent and really lives up to the devils name.
He does have Echo Relocation . That ability gives him the ability to do amazing things . Leaping from buildings knowing where other buildings are so he can use walls , ledges . Hence the great ability to fight in a hallway .
It isn't described as echo location tho. In the comics when anyone calls it that Matt corrects them that it's a "radar sense"....He picks up ambient vibrations which is different than how typical echolocation works.
Yes agree with the comment above .. It's like the intro of Daredevil When you see the city form in red I think they present there the way he perceives his surroundings As somewhere in S1 he explains to Foggy he somehow sees in shades of red
@@djdubc09271 that's passive echolocation- listening to the sounds around you for information about space- and it's what Matt is doing. It's still very much echolocation, though. Active exploration ('typical' or sonar or bat-like, take your pick) is just the action of sending those sounds out to begin with. Active has the advantage of clarity, passive of greater speed and range, but they're both still echolocation. Radar is just the electromagnetic (i.e. light) version of active echolocation (Sonar). I have a passive form of RADAR-like detection. It's called sight.
yea, that's why he always had foggy to support him. Maybe read a few law book for him. But Matt also able to tell if people is lying or not from their heartbeat, that alone is a powerful weapon as a lawyer, since basically they're fighting a game of mind.
On the 'smelling cancer' thing, I've heard of dogs being able to detect when people have certain types of cancer, realising the change before the person's been tested for it
as an almost dr (be graduating by the end of the year hopefully) i can think of caquexia, which leads to a loss of weight (due to destruction of the muscle), loss of appetite, and due to that all the systems kinda shut down. My theory is that its like feeling when a car has something wrong, are the shifts of the transmission feeling odd?, does the steering wheel feel hard?, is the motor making too much noise? it is the the fuel having a below average mpg?
there are other conditions that can lead to death, his senses are that good that he has an xray, doppler and CTS, his ears are more than a stethoscope, like it was a EKG and ecocardiogram combined
@@brizzle711 I have not seen that movie, however the only movie where I thought he had any kind of stage presence for me personally was 'Good Will Hunting' as a side character, everything else that I have seen him in though has been lifeless
@@lithentondanarian8982 oh no, don’t watch it. It’s terrible. I was just making a jay and silent bob reference lol, affleck is in that movie along with most old Kevin Smith movies
Man I love this show so much. It's got the best fight scenes in all of the MCU because everything feels like there is real danger and impact for Matt. He's not a super soldier like Captain America or the Black Panther, and he's not a billionaire with amazing tech like Tony Stark. He's something better. A more or less normal human with some heightened abilities, so when he's fighting Nobu in season one, he really could have died. Or even the hallway scene from the second episode, he gets tired. The fighting actually weighs on him, which is something I wish Marvel movies took into account more. I think the best season is the last one honestly. Although the show was cancelled, had it only bene planned to be 3 seasons, I feel like that ending would still be very fitting for the characters. Season 2 is my least favorite, but it still has some of the most memorable moments from the show. If he gets brought into the fold in some other MCU content, I hope they do him justice because Charlie Cox was born for this role
As much as I loved season 1, season 3 takes the cake for me just because you see Matt at his lowest point and seeing him battle it out against Fisk/Bullseye aswell as his own morality just made the whole season more engaging for me.
I am so happy to see Vincent and Charlie coming back to play their roles, they were absolutely amazing in the daredevil series and i hope the see more of them same as The Punisher which i love. The punisher IS John Bernthal
One thing you failed to mention is that Matt's been training since he was 12 years old. Not that many people can say that about themselves so he's a highly accomplished combatant. It seems like you're trying to define him by the MCU which is okay but he's much more than that.
The 11 minute one-take in Season 3 is by far the most impressive fight scene, but my personal favorite is either Matt v Dex in the office, or the one-take in S2 with the stairs and the chain.
My favorite fight scene was in Defenders when he fought Iron Fist. Daredevil didn't even think twice about fighting the world's greatest martial artist with a nuke hand. And for the majority of the fight he was kicking Iron fist's ass.
As you discussed what he is capable of, I realized not only does he make an amazing lawyer, but he would make a fantastic doctor as well and be able to diagnose problems much more effectively and without tools.
They seem to have buffed Kingpin in Hawkeye, seeing how he fully tanked getting shot in the chest with an arrow twice and then slammed through a brick wall by a car with no injury. (Also, his death was off screen which means he’s definitely not actually dead.) I’m going to guess that, following this, Matt Murdock will also be much more powerful in the MCU than he was in the Netflix series.
Idk how buffed he was. He handled Punisher like a child and withstood a massive beating from Matt in season 3 without even coming close to being knocked out. Also Fisk always wears body armour so I’m not sure if those arrows actually did much damage. Yeah the car was pretty excessive tho
I think they were playing up Fisk's size in Hawkeye more. The way they framed him in the shots, to the very heavy footfall folly work. Really staying true to the "big guy" side of The Kingpin.
@@bloogaming8827 bruh before kingpin "fought" the punisher, Frank had to fight an entire prison section and also got punched in the face by fisk while having his legs and hands chained. You call that getting handled like a kid? Get a fresh Frank and then we talk.
To be honest Mathew is definitely not just a regular human cause the punishment he takes would have anyone crawling to the light at the end of the tunnel
He can literally do weeks worth of healing in hours after a rough fight through meditation in the comics. Matt has complete control of his central nervous system.
I feel like it’s important to mention that, like you said, Matt feels physical sensations more intensely than other people. This is why in the comics he’s addicted to really unhealthy sexual relationships that get him in a lot of trouble. I always appreciate superheroes that have human flaws, too, because it’s a good reminder that even the best of us aren’t perfect.
@@kirbydied2875 Throughout the comics, Matt has had multiple sexual and romantic relationships that almost always end poorly for everyone involved. Elektra is the best example because things go south almost every time she pops up, but Matt still falls for her. There’s also Typhoid Mary who was a literal supervillain, Karen Page who ended up being a porn star and drug addict before she was killed, and his ex-wife Milla who went insane and was locked up in an asylum. He continuously gives into his lustful desires and messes up not only his own life, but the lives of those women as well. My theory is that because Matt’s senses are so much stronger than ours, these sexual interactions are much more intense than they are for normal people, and therefore even more addicting.
@@punished-burnt-ash He’s a man of many contradictions. He’s a lawyer who breaks the law every night by operating outside the system. He’s blind, but he can see more than anyone else. He’s a very pious Catholic who frequently engages in violence and sexual deviance. Matt’s many systems of beliefs always put him at war with himself, and it’s no wonder the poor guy frequently battled depression.
i love season 3 and the last scene with fisk is just incredible, i always get goosebumps from it. I loved the scene where matt met bullseye the first time in the bulletin, where matt realises what enemy he is facing
@@connorpham8602 nah, Shang-Chi is more skilled technically, but Matt is just far too cunning. Daredevil is the Marvel equivalent of Batman, he's not technically the most skilled or powerful, but they just straight up outsmarts everyone in a fight
Shang-Chi is more skilled but based on their on screen portrayals, Matt’s endurance is something else. Shang-Chi would probably win but Matt (Frank too) are hard to put down unless you get lucky with a knockout. I don’t think Matt’s senses are a big enough edge to best Shang-Chi.
Season 1 is my favorite, I love Matt and Foggy's conflicts and how I can see Matt struggling&learning how to be a vigilante for the first time. Daredevil's my favorite marvel show, I really hope they don't mess up his character or anything.
i absolutely love this video, ! and although it’s sort of implied with Matt’s radar sense, he sees the world completely in 360 degrees. It truly makes the multiple assailant fight scenes more impressive
This was a fantastic video. I really enjoyed this deep dive into the power set, skill, and gear of Daredevil. Growing up reading comics, I always found Daredevil fascinating due to the fact that he’s blind in the traditional sense but yet he can see in a multitude of different ways by using his amazing superhuman senses. I really like what Frank Miller did with the character during his run on the comic. He made Daredevil so much more than a poor man’s version of Spiderman which I never thought was a good representation of the character. Yes they have some similar attributes but overall they couldn’t be any more different. With that being said, I think it’s super exciting that Kevin Fiege finally decided to bring Charlie Cox back as Matt Murdock/ Daredevil by properly folding him into the MCU. How exactly is Matt Murdock going to show up in the MCU is yet to be scene (I haven’t seen Spiderman No Way Home yet.) Charlie Cox’s Daredevil has so much potential and the character is so great that he deserves to be not only utilized properly but to be included in multiple facets to the MCU. For example, Daredevil could pop up in several different tv shows like maybe Moon Knight season 2 and She Hulk. I can even see Daredevil showing up in other films as well. Anyways, you did a great job breaking down the character and as always, I look forward to seeing more of your content. Cheers!
I've always loved Matt and gotta say anything Zdarsky writes about him is always an instant win. The whole tv show is a masterpiece that is so great its quite worrisome to see what Mcu will do with it (the characters i mean) in the future. I hope they understand every aspect of him and don't downplay him for any plot irrelevance. He's truly the greatest.
Nothing will be as iconic as the show's one-take fight scenes. Some of the best choreography and shots I have ever seen in any live-action show or movie. In my opinion Daredevil is the best show Marvel has put out.
I hope in the MCU they make Matt stronger, in comics Matt could throw 5 hundred pound barbells kick hinges off doors match other meta humans. But in the netflix show he constantly gets dogged on by goons which was probably a practical decision made because if he was too strong there would be no drama but I want to see comic accurate daredevil ripping demons heads off and tearing metal arms off.
Yeah they will have to to match the rest of the characters they said it was a soft reboot so I think they will and will probably have a higher budget and be able to show his strength and acrobatics more accurately also have him use his billy clubs and allow him to swing around more like Spider-Man… also if he joins the avengers for a thanos level threat it would be cool for him to get heimdals sword like in the comics with heimdals gone I could see Thor giving it to him or heimdals appearing to him through the sword would be cool and give him a giant power up to deal with someone like thanos similar to how cap used Thor’s hammer
When he gets to fight superhumans he does hold his own with the biggest example being Post resurrection Electra. However him actually struggling in most of his fights (like any human should when fighting this many or this skilled opponents) is what makes his fights legendary like the hallway scene.
Favorite fight is still one of the first. When he goes to save the guy’s kid in like episode 3 or so, and just goes room to room absolutely destroying everything and everyone, all in one scene.
My favourite season would have to be 3. The way he comes back from being crushed by a skyscraper to then eventually defeating fisk against all the odds was incredibly satisfying to watch. As for the fight scene, the first that comes to mind is definitely the prison escape. The way they shot that with all the twists and turns to then him finally getting out and stumbling into the taxi was just great in every way.
He’s insane but also he takes SO MUCH DAMGE and just gets back up he’s so resilient when any normal hero or superhero would go down or die but Matt is just a human but still gets back up and keeps fighting and in most cases continues to win
I think the feat of him listening electricity through a wire is the most impressive, since it is just electrons moving while sound is particles moving.
One of my favorite characters in both MCU and Marvel as a whole. Though beware of people claiming the show is non canon when we haven't gotten true evidence is non canon. But i'm glad Charlie Cox is coming back to the role.
7:15 As a watchmaker this scene bothered me. Daredevil could head the watch ticking, but it clearly ticked once per second. Which is not possible. It's a Cartier Santos and houses, as can be seen on the dial, an automatic movement. Automatic movement means it's mechanical and mechanical movements range from 18000 beats per hour to 28800 beats per hour for most movements. some go even higher. This means that it doesn't tick per second (as quartz movements do; quartz = with battery). This watch beats 8 times per second. Small detail, but incredibly dumb given the detail of the context. fun fact: some mechanical movements are actually designed to tick once per second and are called a deadbeat movement. These were, among others, made for doctors who had to measure heartbeats.
No other marvel or any other comic TV series has come close to the 3 series of daredevil quality. I can't believe they cancelled it after leaving a cliffhanger. But so glad to see him show up again recently and kingpin. At least marvel ain't letting these characters go
Daredevil is probably my favorite marvel character of all time. Top 5 favorite superhero of all time. The netflix series made me love him even more. The suit of the series is amazing
My favorite fight scene is the bulletin massacre. Introduction of bullseye, Matt fighting in his classic outfit, how he feels out the ?Num-chuk? realizing he has an impersonator. The fighting was the best part though, you could tell Matt was quite a bit better of a CQC fighter but bullseye was so much better at throwing stuff and keeping Matt from throwing stuff that it overwhelmed him. Very intense and cool episode.
My favorite season is 3. Matt is hit again and again, pushing him to desperation, but he still manages to triumph against setback after setback. Fisk is after him, the FBI, Bullseye, and he doesn't even have his full abilities at first or the support of his friends. And Fisk not only targets Daredevil, he puts Matt Murdock in the crosshairs as well. The best fight scene for me was his escape from the prison. That sequence was amazing!
Great video, you really broke down all his feats perfectly. I'd say even though he's supposed to have the strength and durability of a "normal human", it's interesting that he has gone blow for blow with kingpin (who was pretty amped up in Hawkeye) and Electra (who could toss Luke Cage around like nothing in Defenders). I'm really curious how they plan to scale him in the MCU, most likely he'll just be on par with Echo, Yelena, and Hawkeye.
Just a normal guy ... with olympic level agility, gymnastic, and fighting ability, heightened by supernatural senses, "radar vision", and expert weapon proficiency/skill with his billy club, allowing him to do a variety of athletic stunts and combat maneuvers. Just a normal guy.
This is probably one of the finest Power Analysis Video you guys have ever made -- and you've made many! Excellent job. Charlie Cox's performance as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen is one of those perfect casting decisions that very rarely is discussed. He IS Daredevil and it's great to see him be officially welcomed into the MCU.
Wow I had no idea Matt knew so many fighting styles and technique. This was really interesting to learn and see some of each style. I absolutely love Matt and even though he has some powers that seem super, he still is human and very much a man. I loved to see his stuggle with religion and faith since in a world where gods and myths exist its hard to ground the more human characters and I think the Daredevil show did such a good job with it. I'm sorry I love Daredevil and Matt a bit too much lol.
Im still surprised how loved daredevil is now, i was a kid when i started reading daredevil and was surprised at how dark it was, and was disappoint but still liked the ben affleck movie but hated how everyone dogged it. I remember being super nervous before the show came out and how people mocked it but now its one of the most loved superhero shows ever and he def deserves it
I think one thing thats rarely appreciated about Matt is his devout catholic beliefs. It drives his motivations, his hopes, his morals, and the friction it causes in his life makes for some compelling adult stories. Not to mention the stunning visual backdrop if the churchs iconigraphy. One of my favorite lines from season one: "Claire Temple : Okay, that right there? That's what I'm talking about. Okay, I find a guy in a dumpster who turns out to be some kind of blind vigilante who can do all this really weird shit like smell cologne through walls and sense whether someone's unconscious or faking it. Slap on top of that, he can take an unbelievable amount of punishment without one damn complaint. Matt Murdock : [smirking] The last part's the Catholicism
With all of his feats of recovery as well as heightened senses, I don't think Matt Murdock is still considered 'just a human being'. I mean, look what he endures and survives. The intro of season three sees him survive the pressure of a ground zero explosion, a concussion from a break moving at high speed, drowning in toxic city industrial sewage and then getting up and fighting a trained boxer within days. He's not invincible but also not a regular-degular human being, even for a New Yorker. Human mutate, yes.
The best fight scene for me has to be Daredevil vs the dogs of hell from S2 E3, a brutal scene with very long takes and Matt fighting with one hand tied to an empty gun and the other tied to a chain he used as a whip
Daredevil season 1, the beginning of 2, and season 3 are all just so brilliant - I really hope Hawkeye episode 6 canonises the show so we know for a fact the show's in the MCU now set Matt and Kingpin can interact with other Marvel characters. My favourite season is probably season 1 - I'm reluctant to say that because that makes it seem like the show got worse but no way am I saying that because the next two seasons have amazing writing and characters too but I just think the characters and conflicts feel slightly more impactful in season 1 than the other seasons. I personally don't like season 2 that much - the first for episodes are kind of a mini season in itself and that mini story is brilliant but from season 2 episode 5 through the rest of the season I'm not that fond of - the punisher stuff and kingpin is still really great but the Hand sideplot and elektra I'm not that fond of in this show. My favourite fight scene is definitely the season 3 prison break scene; one of if not my favourite fight scene of all time.
Kevin Fiege said that Daredevil and Kingpin will appear in future MCU projects. He didn't say anything on the other characters, but at least we get those two.
If they give Matt the new super soldier serum going around then he'd be able to face avengers level threats for sure/more believable on screen I think giving it to kingpin would make sense as well
Another thing-it’s less of a different power and more of an application of his senses, but instead of only being really aware of what’s in front of him like a sighted person is with their field of vision, his awareness extends in all directions. This is incredibly useful in fights, as we see him dodge attacks from behind without turning around, and I think once or twice he throws out a few blows without turning towards his target. It also means that not only is he really good at sneaking up on people, but he himself is incredibly hard to sneak up on (Hand ninjas literally had to mask their own heartbeats to escape his detection, and even then he was eventually able to overcome that).
It'd be impossible to sneak up on Matt. Besides hearing, he can smell you, feel the temperature from you're body, taste your sweat in the air, feel your the oxygen leave your lungs, and even if you hold your breath Matt could probably still smell your breath from inside you body anyway. There are a bunch of ways he can "see" you. Even with his hearing he doesn't need to hear a heartbeat at all. He can hear your stomach digesting food, he can hear your blood flowing through your body, hear your bones moving and shifting when you move, hear your muscles stretching. Ninjas can be as quiet as they possibly can but EACH of Matt's senses can detect the smallest of things. A ninja will not be able to mask themselves from every sense.
Kinda feels like his sense are played down heavily here. You did justice to the "active abilities" that Daredevil has, where he has to concentrate to achieve the maximum from his senses, but the "passive abilities" that he is constantly exposed to are never really addressed. Matt may be able to hear across a busy city to pinpoint voices, but when he's not concentrating he can hear almost anything around him with a ~100m distance. Matt may be able to smell a city to pinpoint the exact origin of a takeaway, but when he's not concentrating he can smell someone multiple storeys away. Matt may be able to feel ink on a printed page, but when he's not concentrating he can feel many types of vibrations and air flows. His sense of taste is never really pushed with concentration, but I'd be willing to say that part of his search for the restaurant a takeaway came from was done using taste. Again, his abilities are rarely used independantly. They combine to give him a fine view of the world that is beyond the untrained human, and when he concentrates it is beyond what any human could achieve. He has trained himself to always have them on so that he doesn't even need to think about using his sense of smell like the rest of us usually have to, for example. He can also block out sensory input, as the sheer volume of a car engine when Daredevil listens into conversations at night would literally deafen him. It's for this reason that I'd say when he takes damage it's more comparable to punching a bruise than punching someone that can feel the tumblers in a safe with his fingetips; it's sensitive, not overwhelming. Finally, you completely forgot Radar Sense. Radar Sense is what seperates his senses from Stick's senses, and the hardest part of Daredevil's ability set to explain. It's a form of ESP, or Extra-Sensory Perception, that enables him to view the world in ways beyond human comprehension. In the real world, things like de javu and intuitive precognition can be examples of lower grade ESP. Without certainty, I would say that Daredevil's Radar Sense is the thing that tells him to actively use one of his senses at important moments. Of course, the classic version of Radar Sense involves Daredevil sending out weak radio waves that he could then intercept in a form of ecolocation, but Daredevil uses his senses unassisted for that in the MCU. I like my theory of what it does, as it's the only section of the show that can't be entirely explained - why it is that Matt Murdock occasionally becomes distracted by important events
1. You intend to isolate minor feats performed whilst he is lax from greater feats performed with intense focus. Why? At a minimum, it is still beyond normal human capabilities. The space between the ceiling and the floor which is us, readers, can be filled easily with logical projections and imaginations. Not to mention, it is displayed consistently throughout the series. There is no need to "do justice". Nobody will talk about how good you are at twiddling thumbs while you're already applauded for executing a perfect Sonata No. 5, that is not "injustice". 2. He does not train to have them "on" all the time, and neither do we normal humans have them "off". We have weaker and fewer receptors, he has more. That's all. And although he is more sensitive, it does not take a minute of google searching to understand only "stronger" sensory organs can receive and translate more signals. His resilience increases as well. In short, "hearing more" is not the equivalent of "hearing it louder", and certainly not "more vulnerable". Just take an hour, research into animals with far more developed senses than us, and take a look at the experiments. A trained dog can smell blood from a bleached carpet, doesn't mean going to a wet market would make it gag and suffocate. By extension of your logic, you can't explain why dogs would eat poop if the overwhelming and repulsive sensation is exaggerated a thousand times stronger. If you want an example you can comprehend, try this: wear tinted glasses, and then switch to shades. One filters, the other barricades and reflects light. As a result, the brightness doesn't change too much with tint, but with shades, the whole world gets alot darker. To Matt, we're the ones with the "tinted glasses". And he can "see a lot more on the spectrum". You misinterpret that as "shades". (I'm using a visual comparison to relate to the other senses, I'm not saying he can see.) 3. Radar sense is Matthew trying to explain superhuman echolocation combined with tactile sense and assisted by smell and taste. Even us normal humans have a "radar sense" of creatures in close proximity, we detect them via subliminal changes in immediate surrounding temperature, new smells, footsteps, shaking floorboards, etc. It is not a sixth sense, not an ESP. Normal blind humans with expertise in echolocation a.k.a Human Echolocators can "visualize" their environment, and it's described to be quite similar to 3D sonar imageries seen on watercrafts. They do so by clicking their tongue and hearing the sound waves bouncing back. Durham University has ongoing research and papers you can look into. That's the "radar sense" you tried to explain with almost mystical properties. You compensate, for your lack of understanding, with an energetic but unrealistic interpretation...let's do a bit of googling before posting theories, okay?
@@enochlo9156 1. "You intend to isolate minor feats performed whilst he is lax from greater feats performed with intense focus. Why? At a minimum, it is still beyond normal human capabilities." I isolated these two kinds of feats because the show makes an effort to clearly divide them. The easiest example is his hearing, such that he can hear most things within ~100m of himself at all times but can also concentrate to hear most things within ~2km, or equivalent to the size of Hell's Kitchen. If it were a 10% increase I wouldn't mention it, but - assuming I'm correct or near enough - that's a 19,900% increase. As to whether it's beyond normal human capabilities, most of what he does passively has been done by real people. Hearing heartbeats within ~100m may seem out of our grasp, but monks can train to unlock similar senses. "There is no need to "do justice"." If there was no need to do justice, you wouldn't have replied. I provided information in a similar format to what the video did and you responded in an attempt to correct me, so naturally that means I can do the same to the video. 2. "He does not train to have them "on" all the time, and neither do we normal humans have them "off". We have weaker and fewer receptors, he has more." Regarding the monks I talked about earlier on, they specifically train to turn their senses "on", or - more accurately - keep their subconscious focus on them at all times so that they can reap the reward of what appears to be heightened senses. In actuality, they have similar senses to me or you, they just have the appropriate training to use the information in more effective ways. This is a common practice for Daredevil in the comics, and his meditation style seen in the show displays no immediate difference. "..."hearing more" is not the equivalent of "hearing it louder"..." I humbly challenge you to tell me what "hearing more" is. You can't choose to place your senses in a location other than where the receptors are on your body, so everything he experiences will become weaker and weaker the further he is from an object. Another way of putting that is the closer an object is, the stronger it's sensory input will be. Our brains learn very quickly to filter out the noises our senses have access to that provide no significant advantage, such as white noise or repetitive noises. This can be trained and applied to standard hearing, and would be necessary to support the abilities of the aforementioned monks, never mind Daredevil. As towards your examples of animals doing or experiencing things that wouldn't make sense with their heightened senses, I extend the same answer. It's quite similar to noise-blindness; you could live in repulsive conditions for a long period of time without ever noticing it, which is likely enhanced by the powerful senses of a dog to become blinded to many common sensory inputs. Or the sensation is perceivied differently, but I can't say that for certain as I'm not a dog and haven't asked one. 3. "Even us normal humans have a "radar sense" of creatures in close proximity..." Humans have many more senses than we are lead to believe. The five basic senses are a starting point, and researchers have never found an exhaustive list of the number of senses humans can possess for many reasons. A reason I'd like to focus on is that many senses can be divided into a kind of "sub-sense". Our sense of touch is responsible for the experience you have talked about, as the hairs on our body notice a change in wind direction and appropriately gather that something has caused that. (I would guess that's a reason why a lot of people associate their necks as a source of fear, as our necks are often left uncovered whilst the rest of our body isn't. When we notice something, our necks almost always will feel it. Although here we have entered my "theorising out loud" territory.) This is not radar sense, this is perfectly natural. "That's the "radar sense" you tried to explain with almost mystical properties." I said, and quote - "the classic version of Radar Sense involves Daredevil sending out weak radio waves that he could then intercept in a form of echolocation". However, all of the unique inputs echolocation provides other animals are covered by Matt's other senses, so I don't think the writers would choose to waste it that way. Don't forget, this isn't real. It's fiction, and so the mystical properties can exist as much as they want to. The "theories" you have accused me with and implicitly insulted are self-professed - "my theory"! In the context of the Daredevil TV show, I think my theory has plenty of ground to stand on. As a footnote, your comment can be perceived as arrogant, belittling, and rude. I've provided what I believe to be fact in a factual manor, open to critique and never subjectively bullying the original content creator for what I believe to be facts that "are never really addressed". If you didn't intend to sound this way, I'd watch how you interact with others to prevent yourself from becoming unlikeable, but otherwise I can understand your passion. If you did intend it, might I humbly ask that you piss off and stop harassing people about comic book characters.
IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW
Sauce?
Saweeeeet
you know what. smh. I never thought about how his advanced form of touch can backfire. If he can feel that mean he will feel much more pain than anyone else. Smh. That means when he gets hit it is probably 3x as painful.
@@user-vx6oe3jo9v Exactly ! And the fact that he gets up everytime says a hell of alot 💪 Can't wait to see him in the MCU !!!
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllll yeah 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Before the Netflix series I hated how people underestimated Daredevil. "Oh, so he's not actually blind, he can still see." No, it's more than that. Matt has to continuously concentrate to understand the world around him through 4 senses, while regular folk just have the big one. Telepaths get dazed and discombobulated when peering into Matt's head. The sheer amount of discipline is what makes Daredevil Daredevil.
Yeeeesssss
I can't help but think of how one time in the comics, Psylocke tried to take over Matt's mind, but was unable to because all of the sensory information that Matt had to train to deal with on an everyday basis. Dealing with all the sensory info all at once was too much for her
@@paulmoore5392 m bill
aw you beat me to saying/discussing this! yeah his discipline is everything!

Matt explains his powers awfully well in a single phrase "I'm a really good lawyer"
A good lawyer knows how to fight for justice in the court. A REALLY good lawyer knows how to kick ass anywhere.
Pharse
@@shubhroy7960 more to the fact, he can hear so well he hears lies, knows exactly what everyone's reactions are in real time to his and his court opposition statements so the I'm a good lawyer kinda works
HELL YEAH, love that scene in No Way Home!😁
Matt basically has the "see through walls and see field of vision of enemies" ability that almost every stealh-game protagonist has.
he got detective vision from the arkham games lol
That’s the reason why I want Rocksteady to do a DD game. They literally have the blueprint for it.

I hadn't even considered that Matt likely feels far more pain than a regular human. That makes his feats of continuing to fight after getting shot and stabbed even more impressive than they already were.
Also, Season 3 is probably my favorite.
Glad I was able to give you a new perspective 😁
Stick taught Matt how to ignore pain so I doubt it
@@seamoose9948 really, because I seem to remember him screaming at the top his lungs when getting dragged by Nobu
@@tas7606 i think to a certain extent he can ignore it, but ye i would say he still feels pain.
@@tas7606 I would say it’s quite impossible to ignore a sharp knife under your ribs pulling you across a floor after your back was sliced open and your stomach was sliced open.
Season 3 was great, the villain Bullseye was menacing and we got to see his perspective as well. Even though the hallway fight was incredible, the prison fight in season 3 is remarkable, and a longer one-take than the hallway fight.
Sameee
Bro daredevil was 1 of the only shows where I was genuinely worried for Matt especially the fight against kingpin it was so intense .
The prison fight is amazing. I keep trying to get my friends who haven't seen Daredevil to watch it because if anyone can watch that whole sequence and doesn't want to binge the entire show, I don't think they're human.
Well the hallway fight is actually 4 takes spliced together very seamlessly to make it seem like one take, same with the prison fight, but I completely agree. The prison fight feels more tense/desperate as Matt has been drugged.
The prison fight is my favorite action scenes from the whole show. I am gonna rewatch it now that you reminded me of it.
Idk about my favorite fight, but Matt's full backstory with Electra (I believe it was season 2 episode 2) is some of the best 45 minutes of television I've ever seen. The story of his dates with Electra and Karen cutting back and forth perfectly symbolizes his inner struggles for the entire show. He's constantly torn between dangerous, ruthless Electra, and kind, supportive Karen in the exact same way he's torn between killing dangerous criminals and letting them live. He's like a much better written Batman.
Yes I agree wholeheartedly. I’m happy that they delved into the extremely unique/borderline abusive relationship between him and Electra, and the calming and supportive version with Karen. This show is just so good.
Season 2 is probably my favorite just because you get to see him the suit more and I like Punisher. As for the fight scene it the hallway fight. Which one? Yes
Good point!
Electra kinda blew it though,could’ve been wayyyyy better if it was just the punisher
Yeah, season 2 best
I like season 3 more
Season 2 was still good. Instead of bring Nobu back and having Elektra be a focal point of the plot. I would have multiple factions fight over hell's kitchen such as Union Allied, the hand (lead by madam Gao), and various others. I'd have Elektra get kidnapped by the hand instead of a death fake out.
He's just a really good lawyer
😳
MCU stans writing “he’s a really good lawyer” on every piece of Daredevil media ever concieved while at the same time having no fucking clue on who or what the character is outside of his No Way Home Appearance.
@@ThatGuyChoco nah i watch the series too
He's basically a human lie Detector of course he's a Good lawyer
Season 3 is my personal favorite. I just love how the story keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire way. Overall, Daredevil is my favorite tv show ever made and I don't think that will ever change
I hope Disney does him justice
Best TV show of all time is "Spartacus".
Plus bullseye fights were fuckin amazing
idk if its my favorite show of all time, but shit its definitely in the conversion
@@linyenchin6773 ?
Season 3 is my favorite for sure. I didn’t really like the Hand ninjas but Bullseye was unreal
Dex was such a good villain
@@linyenchin6773 you sound fun at parties
My favourite season has to be 1, I love the menacing take he took on daredevil. Like when he has that man against the roof and tells him he enjoys hurting people, when he saves Claire and taunts her capture, and finally when he's interrogating the man for Fisks name. Such an intimidating opponent and really lives up to the devils name.
He does have Echo Relocation . That ability gives him the ability to do amazing things .
Leaping from buildings knowing where other buildings are so he can use walls , ledges .
Hence the great ability to fight in a hallway .
It isn't described as echo location tho. In the comics when anyone calls it that Matt corrects them that it's a "radar sense"....He picks up ambient vibrations which is different than how typical echolocation works.
Yes agree with the comment above ..
It's like the intro of Daredevil
When you see the city form in red
I think they present there the way he perceives his surroundings
As somewhere in S1 he explains to Foggy he somehow sees in shades of red
@@djdubc09271 yeah, cuz echolocation works like bats do it, he'd need to be sending waves or something like that.
It's not just echolocation it's a "radar" sence (he visualises it like fire) where he combines all his sences to give him a full picture.
@@djdubc09271 that's passive echolocation- listening to the sounds around you for information about space- and it's what Matt is doing. It's still very much echolocation, though.
Active exploration ('typical' or sonar or bat-like, take your pick) is just the action of sending those sounds out to begin with. Active has the advantage of clarity, passive of greater speed and range, but they're both still echolocation.
Radar is just the electromagnetic (i.e. light) version of active echolocation (Sonar).
I have a passive form of RADAR-like detection. It's called sight.
We know Matt is a “Really good Lawyer” but imagine the dedication it took to BECOME a lawyer while blind. That’s a power in itself.
Majority of the fans may or may not overlook that fact. And I appreciate that another one has acknowledged this.
yea, that's why he always had foggy to support him. Maybe read a few law book for him. But Matt also able to tell if people is lying or not from their heartbeat, that alone is a powerful weapon as a lawyer, since basically they're fighting a game of mind.
On the 'smelling cancer' thing, I've heard of dogs being able to detect when people have certain types of cancer, realising the change before the person's been tested for it
I think there are a few people that can do that to
as an almost dr (be graduating by the end of the year hopefully) i can think of caquexia, which leads to a loss of weight (due to destruction of the muscle), loss of appetite, and due to that all the systems kinda shut down. My theory is that its like feeling when a car has something wrong, are the shifts of the transmission feeling odd?, does the steering wheel feel hard?, is the motor making too much noise? it is the the fuel having a below average mpg?
there are other conditions that can lead to death, his senses are that good that he has an xray, doppler and CTS, his ears are more than a stethoscope, like it was a EKG and ecocardiogram combined
Charlie Cox as Daredevil is amazing. He actually brings the character to life. So incredibly much better than clown Affleck.

Man I love this show so much. It's got the best fight scenes in all of the MCU because everything feels like there is real danger and impact for Matt. He's not a super soldier like Captain America or the Black Panther, and he's not a billionaire with amazing tech like Tony Stark. He's something better. A more or less normal human with some heightened abilities, so when he's fighting Nobu in season one, he really could have died. Or even the hallway scene from the second episode, he gets tired. The fighting actually weighs on him, which is something I wish Marvel movies took into account more. I think the best season is the last one honestly. Although the show was cancelled, had it only bene planned to be 3 seasons, I feel like that ending would still be very fitting for the characters. Season 2 is my least favorite, but it still has some of the most memorable moments from the show. If he gets brought into the fold in some other MCU content, I hope they do him justice because Charlie Cox was born for this role
Nobu was amazing super super close to killing Daredevil like legit for sure, prob my fav fight scene in series but so many to choose from.
What if someone farts around Daredevil? I wonder how much that would affect him.
There could be levels of stench that even he can't handle lol
It’s his one weakness
Kiba vs Naruto flashbacks
As much as I loved season 1, season 3 takes the cake for me just because you see Matt at his lowest point and seeing him battle it out against Fisk/Bullseye aswell as his own morality just made the whole season more engaging for me.
I am so happy to see Vincent and Charlie coming back to play their roles, they were absolutely amazing in the daredevil series and i hope the see more of them same as The Punisher which i love. The punisher IS John Bernthal

One thing you failed to mention is that Matt's been training since he was 12 years old. Not that many people can say that about themselves so he's a highly accomplished combatant. It seems like you're trying to define him by the MCU which is okay but he's much more than that.
You mean 9 years old...

HE'S A MENACE
The 11 minute one-take in Season 3 is by far the most impressive fight scene, but my personal favorite is either Matt v Dex in the office, or the one-take in S2 with the stairs and the chain.
My favorite fight scene was in Defenders when he fought Iron Fist.
Daredevil didn't even think twice about fighting the world's greatest martial artist with a nuke hand. And for the majority of the fight he was kicking Iron fist's ass.
As you discussed what he is capable of, I realized not only does he make an amazing lawyer, but he would make a fantastic doctor as well and be able to diagnose problems much more effectively and without tools.
God forbid you face this man in a hallway......pretty sure i blew a lung laughing at that
😂
Thanos wouldn't fight this man in a hallway🤣🤣🤣
They seem to have buffed Kingpin in Hawkeye, seeing how he fully tanked getting shot in the chest with an arrow twice and then slammed through a brick wall by a car with no injury. (Also, his death was off screen which means he’s definitely not actually dead.) I’m going to guess that, following this, Matt Murdock will also be much more powerful in the MCU than he was in the Netflix series.
Idk how buffed he was. He handled Punisher like a child and withstood a massive beating from Matt in season 3 without even coming close to being knocked out. Also Fisk always wears body armour so I’m not sure if those arrows actually did much damage. Yeah the car was pretty excessive tho
I think they were playing up Fisk's size in Hawkeye more. The way they framed him in the shots, to the very heavy footfall folly work. Really staying true to the "big guy" side of The Kingpin.
i'm thinking he got a hold of some super soldier serum from falcon and the winter soldier. wouldn't be too difficult for him to get during that time
@@bloogaming8827 bruh before kingpin "fought" the punisher, Frank had to fight an entire prison section and also got punched in the face by fisk while having his legs and hands chained. You call that getting handled like a kid? Get a fresh Frank and then we talk.

Matt is abt to slap Widow and Hawkeye in skill, mark my words.

Hawkeye's aim though...
Well he better. I'm gonna be super mad if they downplay his skills.
To be honest Mathew is definitely not just a regular human cause the punishment he takes would have anyone crawling to the light at the end of the tunnel
He is peak human, which is not normal.
He can literally do weeks worth of healing in hours after a rough fight through meditation in the comics. Matt has complete control of his central nervous system.
Mhgvkh
That's just the Catholicism.
I feel like it’s important to mention that, like you said, Matt feels physical sensations more intensely than other people. This is why in the comics he’s addicted to really unhealthy sexual relationships that get him in a lot of trouble. I always appreciate superheroes that have human flaws, too, because it’s a good reminder that even the best of us aren’t perfect.
Can you elaborate further? I never read the comics
@@kirbydied2875 Throughout the comics, Matt has had multiple sexual and romantic relationships that almost always end poorly for everyone involved. Elektra is the best example because things go south almost every time she pops up, but Matt still falls for her. There’s also Typhoid Mary who was a literal supervillain, Karen Page who ended up being a porn star and drug addict before she was killed, and his ex-wife Milla who went insane and was locked up in an asylum. He continuously gives into his lustful desires and messes up not only his own life, but the lives of those women as well. My theory is that because Matt’s senses are so much stronger than ours, these sexual interactions are much more intense than they are for normal people, and therefore even more addicting.
@@PartyPoison3371 damn. I guess the show did kind of touch on his romantic problems, but that's pretty rough
that contradicts with his whole "extreme orthodox kid" characteristic lol.
@@punished-burnt-ash He’s a man of many contradictions. He’s a lawyer who breaks the law every night by operating outside the system. He’s blind, but he can see more than anyone else. He’s a very pious Catholic who frequently engages in violence and sexual deviance. Matt’s many systems of beliefs always put him at war with himself, and it’s no wonder the poor guy frequently battled depression.
I'd love to see a "buddy cop" type movie with Shang Chi and this version of Daredevil.
Daredevil being able to smell cancer is probably similar to experiments where dogs were able to do the same thing.
i love season 3 and the last scene with fisk is just incredible, i always get goosebumps from it. I loved the scene where matt met bullseye the first time in the bulletin, where matt realises what enemy he is facing
Damn imagine shang-chi and daredevil fighting each other or teaming up
shang chi would clap him
@@connorpham8602 nah, Shang-Chi is more skilled technically, but Matt is just far too cunning. Daredevil is the Marvel equivalent of Batman, he's not technically the most skilled or powerful, but they just straight up outsmarts everyone in a fight
Shang-Chi and Iron Fist 👀
@@KeyIssues maybe the real Iron Fist would win, not the guy we got on Netflix
Shang-Chi is more skilled but based on their on screen portrayals, Matt’s endurance is something else. Shang-Chi would probably win but Matt (Frank too) are hard to put down unless you get lucky with a knockout. I don’t think Matt’s senses are a big enough edge to best Shang-Chi.
Season 1 is my favorite, I love Matt and Foggy's conflicts and how I can see Matt struggling&learning how to be a vigilante for the first time.
Daredevil's my favorite marvel show, I really hope they don't mess up his character or anything.
i absolutely love this video, ! and although it’s sort of implied with Matt’s radar sense, he sees the world completely in 360 degrees. It truly makes the multiple assailant fight scenes more impressive
You really did this character justice. Thank you for making this video and properly reviewing daredevil. Awesome stuff 👏
This was a fantastic video. I really enjoyed this deep dive into the power set, skill, and gear of Daredevil. Growing up reading comics, I always found Daredevil fascinating due to the fact that he’s blind in the traditional sense but yet he can see in a multitude of different ways by using his amazing superhuman senses. I really like what Frank Miller did with the character during his run on the comic. He made Daredevil so much more than a poor man’s version of Spiderman which I never thought was a good representation of the character. Yes they have some similar attributes but overall they couldn’t be any more different. With that being said, I think it’s super exciting that Kevin Fiege finally decided to bring Charlie Cox back as Matt Murdock/ Daredevil by properly folding him into the MCU. How exactly is Matt Murdock going to show up in the MCU is yet to be scene
(I haven’t seen Spiderman No Way Home yet.)
Charlie Cox’s Daredevil has so much potential and the character is so great that he deserves to be not only utilized properly but to be included in multiple facets to the MCU. For example, Daredevil could pop up in several different tv shows like maybe Moon Knight season 2 and She Hulk. I can even see Daredevil showing up in other films as well. Anyways, you did a great job breaking down the character and as always, I look forward to seeing more of your content. Cheers!
This makes Daredevil being the prototype of Batman more fitting. I just hope Daredevil gets more respect. It really is a masterpiece.
I've always loved Matt and gotta say anything Zdarsky writes about him is always an instant win. The whole tv show is a masterpiece that is so great its quite worrisome to see what Mcu will do with it (the characters i mean) in the future. I hope they understand every aspect of him and don't downplay him for any plot irrelevance. He's truly the greatest.
Nothing will be as iconic as the show's one-take fight scenes. Some of the best choreography and shots I have ever seen in any live-action show or movie. In my opinion Daredevil is the best show Marvel has put out.
I hope in the MCU they make Matt stronger, in comics Matt could throw 5 hundred pound barbells kick hinges off doors match other meta humans. But in the netflix show he constantly gets dogged on by goons which was probably a practical decision made because if he was too strong there would be no drama but I want to see comic accurate daredevil ripping demons heads off and tearing metal arms off.
Yeah they will have to to match the rest of the characters they said it was a soft reboot so I think they will and will probably have a higher budget and be able to show his strength and acrobatics more accurately also have him use his billy clubs and allow him to swing around more like Spider-Man… also if he joins the avengers for a thanos level threat it would be cool for him to get heimdals sword like in the comics with heimdals gone I could see Thor giving it to him or heimdals appearing to him through the sword would be cool and give him a giant power up to deal with someone like thanos similar to how cap used Thor’s hammer
When he gets to fight superhumans he does hold his own with the biggest example being Post resurrection Electra.
However him actually struggling in most of his fights (like any human should when fighting this many or this skilled opponents) is what makes his fights legendary like the hallway scene.
He’s a really good lawyer 🧑🏻🦯
And he's a REALLY good lawyer 😎
so to cut a long story short, he's a very good lawyer
Favorite fight is still one of the first. When he goes to save the guy’s kid in like episode 3 or so, and just goes room to room absolutely destroying everything and everyone, all in one scene.
My favourite season would have to be 3. The way he comes back from being crushed by a skyscraper to then eventually defeating fisk against all the odds was incredibly satisfying to watch. As for the fight scene, the first that comes to mind is definitely the prison escape. The way they shot that with all the twists and turns to then him finally getting out and stumbling into the taxi was just great in every way.
the daredevil series is probably the best product from the mcu
I wonder if the Daredevil series stays canon in Hawkeye and Spider-Man
Hands down...
Jessica jones series is insane as well
He’s insane but also he takes SO MUCH DAMGE and just gets back up he’s so resilient when any normal hero or superhero would go down or die but Matt is just a human but still gets back up and keeps fighting and in most cases continues to win
I think the feat of him listening electricity through a wire is the most impressive, since it is just electrons moving while sound is particles moving.
Never heard high power cables hum before?
Bullseye was done perfectly, I hope we get to see him again too!
One of my favorite characters in both MCU and Marvel as a whole. Though beware of people claiming the show is non canon when we haven't gotten true evidence is non canon. But i'm glad Charlie Cox is coming back to the role.
7:15
As a watchmaker this scene bothered me. Daredevil could head the watch ticking, but it clearly ticked once per second. Which is not possible.
It's a Cartier Santos and houses, as can be seen on the dial, an automatic movement.
Automatic movement means it's mechanical and mechanical movements range from 18000 beats per hour to 28800 beats per hour for most movements. some go even higher. This means that it doesn't tick per second (as quartz movements do; quartz = with battery).
This watch beats 8 times per second. Small detail, but incredibly dumb given the detail of the context.
fun fact: some mechanical movements are actually designed to tick once per second and are called a deadbeat movement. These were, among others, made for doctors who had to measure heartbeats.
im not sure if this really deserved a comment
Season 3 probably my favorite anything in comic book media ever. Watched that season multiple times
I’m rewatching it for the millionth time right now
Agreed.
He is a very good lawyer
No other marvel or any other comic TV series has come close to the 3 series of daredevil quality. I can't believe they cancelled it after leaving a cliffhanger. But so glad to see him show up again recently and kingpin. At least marvel ain't letting these characters go
They say he may get a new costume in the MCU . Hopefully it's good . Every suit in film has gotten better .
He’s so OP that he can make an appearance in the MCU
Watching this after spider nwh , this just reminded me how amazing the series was.
Nice video 👍
1:17 “ while Matt was one of the most naturally gifted fighters Stick had ever seen” bruh
Daredevil is probably my favorite marvel character of all time. Top 5 favorite superhero of all time. The netflix series made me love him even more. The suit of the series is amazing
Daredevil is powerful enough to be R rated and exist in the MCU.
😂
Hallway fight scene was the best hands down. I like how he was out of breath while fighting. It showed how human he truly is. But still a badass.
I’m very glad Matt and kingpin had joined the MCU
My favorite fight scene is the bulletin massacre. Introduction of bullseye, Matt fighting in his classic outfit, how he feels out the ?Num-chuk? realizing he has an impersonator. The fighting was the best part though, you could tell Matt was quite a bit better of a CQC fighter but bullseye was so much better at throwing stuff and keeping Matt from throwing stuff that it overwhelmed him. Very intense and cool episode.
Daredevils enhanced hearing comes from his radar sense which in turn acts as sonar.
My favorite season is 3. Matt is hit again and again, pushing him to desperation, but he still manages to triumph against setback after setback. Fisk is after him, the FBI, Bullseye, and he doesn't even have his full abilities at first or the support of his friends. And Fisk not only targets Daredevil, he puts Matt Murdock in the crosshairs as well.
The best fight scene for me was his escape from the prison. That sequence was amazing!
hes a really good lawyer
Great video, you really broke down all his feats perfectly.
I'd say even though he's supposed to have the strength and durability of a "normal human", it's interesting that he has gone blow for blow with kingpin (who was pretty amped up in Hawkeye) and Electra (who could toss Luke Cage around like nothing in Defenders). I'm really curious how they plan to scale him in the MCU, most likely he'll just be on par with Echo, Yelena, and Hawkeye.
Just a normal guy ... with olympic level agility, gymnastic, and fighting ability, heightened by supernatural senses, "radar vision", and expert weapon proficiency/skill with his billy club, allowing him to do a variety of athletic stunts and combat maneuvers. Just a normal guy.
I don't know why the part about "God forbid you ever face this man in a hallway" makes me chuckle.
Glad that Charles Cox is back in the role
This is probably one of the finest Power Analysis Video you guys have ever made -- and you've made many! Excellent job. Charlie Cox's performance as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen is one of those perfect casting decisions that very rarely is discussed. He IS Daredevil and it's great to see him be officially welcomed into the MCU.
Wow I had no idea Matt knew so many fighting styles and technique. This was really interesting to learn and see some of each style. I absolutely love Matt and even though he has some powers that seem super, he still is human and very much a man. I loved to see his stuggle with religion and faith since in a world where gods and myths exist its hard to ground the more human characters and I think the Daredevil show did such a good job with it. I'm sorry I love Daredevil and Matt a bit too much lol.
You forgot to mention how dangerous DareDevil is in the dark.
I’m glad Charlie Cox and Daredevil are returning to the MCU. Best Birthday gift ever!
YES! Happy birthday
So glad he is back.
This man really showed up in spider man no way home! 😳😍
When I think of daredevil, I always think of his rooftop argument with Punisher. It is one of my favourite scenes in the entire mcu
Really good lawyer
Charlie Cox is just absolutely perfect for the role, such an excellent actor.
What do you mean?? He’s just a very good lawyer
Im still surprised how loved daredevil is now, i was a kid when i started reading daredevil and was surprised at how dark it was, and was disappoint but still liked the ben affleck movie but hated how everyone dogged it. I remember being super nervous before the show came out and how people mocked it but now its one of the most loved superhero shows ever and he def deserves it
Powerful enough to catch a brick
I think one thing thats rarely appreciated about Matt is his devout catholic beliefs. It drives his motivations, his hopes, his morals, and the friction it causes in his life makes for some compelling adult stories. Not to mention the stunning visual backdrop if the churchs iconigraphy.
One of my favorite lines from season one: "Claire Temple : Okay, that right there? That's what I'm talking about. Okay, I find a guy in a dumpster who turns out to be some kind of blind vigilante who can do all this really weird shit like smell cologne through walls and sense whether someone's unconscious or faking it. Slap on top of that, he can take an unbelievable amount of punishment without one damn complaint.
Matt Murdock : [smirking] The last part's the Catholicism
With all of his feats of recovery as well as heightened senses, I don't think Matt Murdock is still considered 'just a human being'.
I mean, look what he endures and survives. The intro of season three sees him survive the pressure of a ground zero explosion, a concussion from a break moving at high speed, drowning in toxic city industrial sewage and then getting up and fighting a trained boxer within days. He's not invincible but also not a regular-degular human being, even for a New Yorker. Human mutate, yes.
The best fight scene for me has to be Daredevil vs the dogs of hell from S2 E3, a brutal scene with very long takes and Matt fighting with one hand tied to an empty gun and the other tied to a chain he used as a whip
Daredevil season 1, the beginning of 2, and season 3 are all just so brilliant - I really hope Hawkeye episode 6 canonises the show so we know for a fact the show's in the MCU now set Matt and Kingpin can interact with other Marvel characters.
My favourite season is probably season 1 - I'm reluctant to say that because that makes it seem like the show got worse but no way am I saying that because the next two seasons have amazing writing and characters too but I just think the characters and conflicts feel slightly more impactful in season 1 than the other seasons.
I personally don't like season 2 that much - the first for episodes are kind of a mini season in itself and that mini story is brilliant but from season 2 episode 5 through the rest of the season I'm not that fond of - the punisher stuff and kingpin is still really great but the Hand sideplot and elektra I'm not that fond of in this show.
My favourite fight scene is definitely the season 3 prison break scene; one of if not my favourite fight scene of all time.
Kevin Fiege said that Daredevil and Kingpin will appear in future MCU projects. He didn't say anything on the other characters, but at least we get those two.
He was in Spider-Man no way home thereby canonizing him
Season 3 is probably one of my favorite seasons of any show I have seen! It’s just so good. Has just about everything you want out of a show!
If they give Matt the new super soldier serum going around then he'd be able to face avengers level threats for sure/more believable on screen
I think giving it to kingpin would make sense as well
That wouldn’t make him Daredevil
@@majinbusn Yeah. That would make him Super Daredevil 😁😁😁😁
I hope they don't give him the super soldier serum
@@kirbydied2875 me neither but bit would explain a certain character strength in the latest Hawkeye episode
@@sammysalgado1475 if you're talking about kingpin, that's just kingpin. I hope it isn't a thing where they gave him the super soldier serum as well
Finally someone is talking about daredevil ❤️❤️
He needs to show up in the Hawkeye series at the ending final episode.
These reviews are so grounded and non-contradictory!
"he's just, you know, a regular human" 0:29
"giving him super-human abilities" 0:44
Now Just imagine how deadly Daredevil will be After taking Super soldier serum and a Corona Vaccine 😆😆
1 of the shows tht should never of been cancelled in the 1st place.
Loved this show and was gutted whn thy canned it.
But hearing its coming bck
Hey he is just a really good lawyer
Another thing-it’s less of a different power and more of an application of his senses, but instead of only being really aware of what’s in front of him like a sighted person is with their field of vision, his awareness extends in all directions. This is incredibly useful in fights, as we see him dodge attacks from behind without turning around, and I think once or twice he throws out a few blows without turning towards his target. It also means that not only is he really good at sneaking up on people, but he himself is incredibly hard to sneak up on (Hand ninjas literally had to mask their own heartbeats to escape his detection, and even then he was eventually able to overcome that).
It'd be impossible to sneak up on Matt. Besides hearing, he can smell you, feel the temperature from you're body, taste your sweat in the air, feel your the oxygen leave your lungs, and even if you hold your breath Matt could probably still smell your breath from inside you body anyway. There are a bunch of ways he can "see" you. Even with his hearing he doesn't need to hear a heartbeat at all. He can hear your stomach digesting food, he can hear your blood flowing through your body, hear your bones moving and shifting when you move, hear your muscles stretching. Ninjas can be as quiet as they possibly can but EACH of Matt's senses can detect the smallest of things. A ninja will not be able to mask themselves from every sense.
Kinda feels like his sense are played down heavily here. You did justice to the "active abilities" that Daredevil has, where he has to concentrate to achieve the maximum from his senses, but the "passive abilities" that he is constantly exposed to are never really addressed. Matt may be able to hear across a busy city to pinpoint voices, but when he's not concentrating he can hear almost anything around him with a ~100m distance. Matt may be able to smell a city to pinpoint the exact origin of a takeaway, but when he's not concentrating he can smell someone multiple storeys away. Matt may be able to feel ink on a printed page, but when he's not concentrating he can feel many types of vibrations and air flows. His sense of taste is never really pushed with concentration, but I'd be willing to say that part of his search for the restaurant a takeaway came from was done using taste.
Again, his abilities are rarely used independantly. They combine to give him a fine view of the world that is beyond the untrained human, and when he concentrates it is beyond what any human could achieve. He has trained himself to always have them on so that he doesn't even need to think about using his sense of smell like the rest of us usually have to, for example. He can also block out sensory input, as the sheer volume of a car engine when Daredevil listens into conversations at night would literally deafen him. It's for this reason that I'd say when he takes damage it's more comparable to punching a bruise than punching someone that can feel the tumblers in a safe with his fingetips; it's sensitive, not overwhelming.
Finally, you completely forgot Radar Sense. Radar Sense is what seperates his senses from Stick's senses, and the hardest part of Daredevil's ability set to explain. It's a form of ESP, or Extra-Sensory Perception, that enables him to view the world in ways beyond human comprehension. In the real world, things like de javu and intuitive precognition can be examples of lower grade ESP. Without certainty, I would say that Daredevil's Radar Sense is the thing that tells him to actively use one of his senses at important moments. Of course, the classic version of Radar Sense involves Daredevil sending out weak radio waves that he could then intercept in a form of ecolocation, but Daredevil uses his senses unassisted for that in the MCU. I like my theory of what it does, as it's the only section of the show that can't be entirely explained - why it is that Matt Murdock occasionally becomes distracted by important events
1. You intend to isolate minor feats performed whilst he is lax from greater feats performed with intense focus. Why? At a minimum, it is still beyond normal human capabilities. The space between the ceiling and the floor which is us, readers, can be filled easily with logical projections and imaginations. Not to mention, it is displayed consistently throughout the series. There is no need to "do justice". Nobody will talk about how good you are at twiddling thumbs while you're already applauded for executing a perfect Sonata No. 5, that is not "injustice".
2. He does not train to have them "on" all the time, and neither do we normal humans have them "off". We have weaker and fewer receptors, he has more. That's all. And although he is more sensitive, it does not take a minute of google searching to understand only "stronger" sensory organs can receive and translate more signals. His resilience increases as well. In short, "hearing more" is not the equivalent of "hearing it louder", and certainly not "more vulnerable". Just take an hour, research into animals with far more developed senses than us, and take a look at the experiments. A trained dog can smell blood from a bleached carpet, doesn't mean going to a wet market would make it gag and suffocate. By extension of your logic, you can't explain why dogs would eat poop if the overwhelming and repulsive sensation is exaggerated a thousand times stronger. If you want an example you can comprehend, try this: wear tinted glasses, and then switch to shades. One filters, the other barricades and reflects light. As a result, the brightness doesn't change too much with tint, but with shades, the whole world gets alot darker.
To Matt, we're the ones with the "tinted glasses". And he can "see a lot more on the spectrum". You misinterpret that as "shades". (I'm using a visual comparison to relate to the other senses, I'm not saying he can see.)
3. Radar sense is Matthew trying to explain superhuman echolocation combined with tactile sense and assisted by smell and taste. Even us normal humans have a "radar sense" of creatures in close proximity, we detect them via subliminal changes in immediate surrounding temperature, new smells, footsteps, shaking floorboards, etc. It is not a sixth sense, not an ESP. Normal blind humans with expertise in echolocation a.k.a Human Echolocators can "visualize" their environment, and it's described to be quite similar to 3D sonar imageries seen on watercrafts. They do so by clicking their tongue and hearing the sound waves bouncing back. Durham University has ongoing research and papers you can look into. That's the "radar sense" you tried to explain with almost mystical properties. You compensate, for your lack of understanding, with an energetic but unrealistic interpretation...let's do a bit of googling before posting theories, okay?

1. "You intend to isolate minor feats performed whilst he is lax from greater feats performed with intense focus. Why? At a minimum, it is still beyond normal human capabilities."
I isolated these two kinds of feats because the show makes an effort to clearly divide them. The easiest example is his hearing, such that he can hear most things within ~100m of himself at all times but can also concentrate to hear most things within ~2km, or equivalent to the size of Hell's Kitchen. If it were a 10% increase I wouldn't mention it, but - assuming I'm correct or near enough - that's a 19,900% increase. As to whether it's beyond normal human capabilities, most of what he does passively has been done by real people. Hearing heartbeats within ~100m may seem out of our grasp, but monks can train to unlock similar senses.
"There is no need to "do justice"."
If there was no need to do justice, you wouldn't have replied. I provided information in a similar format to what the video did and you responded in an attempt to correct me, so naturally that means I can do the same to the video.
2. "He does not train to have them "on" all the time, and neither do we normal humans have them "off". We have weaker and fewer receptors, he has more."
Regarding the monks I talked about earlier on, they specifically train to turn their senses "on", or - more accurately - keep their subconscious focus on them at all times so that they can reap the reward of what appears to be heightened senses. In actuality, they have similar senses to me or you, they just have the appropriate training to use the information in more effective ways. This is a common practice for Daredevil in the comics, and his meditation style seen in the show displays no immediate difference.
"..."hearing more" is not the equivalent of "hearing it louder"..."
I humbly challenge you to tell me what "hearing more" is. You can't choose to place your senses in a location other than where the receptors are on your body, so everything he experiences will become weaker and weaker the further he is from an object. Another way of putting that is the closer an object is, the stronger it's sensory input will be. Our brains learn very quickly to filter out the noises our senses have access to that provide no significant advantage, such as white noise or repetitive noises. This can be trained and applied to standard hearing, and would be necessary to support the abilities of the aforementioned monks, never mind Daredevil. As towards your examples of animals doing or experiencing things that wouldn't make sense with their heightened senses, I extend the same answer. It's quite similar to noise-blindness; you could live in repulsive conditions for a long period of time without ever noticing it, which is likely enhanced by the powerful senses of a dog to become blinded to many common sensory inputs. Or the sensation is perceivied differently, but I can't say that for certain as I'm not a dog and haven't asked one.
3. "Even us normal humans have a "radar sense" of creatures in close proximity..."
Humans have many more senses than we are lead to believe. The five basic senses are a starting point, and researchers have never found an exhaustive list of the number of senses humans can possess for many reasons. A reason I'd like to focus on is that many senses can be divided into a kind of "sub-sense". Our sense of touch is responsible for the experience you have talked about, as the hairs on our body notice a change in wind direction and appropriately gather that something has caused that. (I would guess that's a reason why a lot of people associate their necks as a source of fear, as our necks are often left uncovered whilst the rest of our body isn't. When we notice something, our necks almost always will feel it. Although here we have entered my "theorising out loud" territory.) This is not radar sense, this is perfectly natural.
"That's the "radar sense" you tried to explain with almost mystical properties."
I said, and quote - "the classic version of Radar Sense involves Daredevil sending out weak radio waves that he could then intercept in a form of echolocation". However, all of the unique inputs echolocation provides other animals are covered by Matt's other senses, so I don't think the writers would choose to waste it that way. Don't forget, this isn't real. It's fiction, and so the mystical properties can exist as much as they want to. The "theories" you have accused me with and implicitly insulted are self-professed - "my theory"! In the context of the Daredevil TV show, I think my theory has plenty of ground to stand on.
As a footnote, your comment can be perceived as arrogant, belittling, and rude. I've provided what I believe to be fact in a factual manor, open to critique and never subjectively bullying the original content creator for what I believe to be facts that "are never really addressed". If you didn't intend to sound this way, I'd watch how you interact with others to prevent yourself from becoming unlikeable, but otherwise I can understand your passion. If you did intend it, might I humbly ask that you piss off and stop harassing people about comic book characters.
The sounds of the microwave hitting the guys head in the hallway killed me 😂😂😂
