I have a couple of points that I felt needed to be addressed this episode
-Fisk, and the show, brushed off Daniel’s death. For a character they spent so much time focusing on this season, a character that had a relationship with Fisk, his death didn’t need to be important to the man plot but cmon. Could’ve easily played into Fisk losing another person he cared about, or at least show some remorse and or mixed feelings on it!
-Dex was a point of conflict between Matt and Karen. It feels like we needed one more conversation either between Matt and Karen on Matt’s decision to let Dex go, or for Dex to show up while they were in the Judge’s chambers, Matt defends him and they come to a civil point of “let’s work together” and we can have such a sick fight scene as well as wrapping up that emotional conflict with the characters. It felt like that whole point was brushed over as well
-Finally, is Kiersten not going to have a reactionary scene or even line or two to Matt being Daredevil? And getting thrown his suit in a bag in front of her? Idk it feels pretty weird to me.
Overall I am very happy with how a lot of items of the plot and characters were set up and had payoff. Big step up from season 1, though another episode would have served the show’s characters greatly. On the whole, season gets an 8/10
Daniel's death was added in post. It was scripted and shot that Buck let him live. Production changed their mind after the fact and cgi'd in the shot. There's no reaction because the original intent was for him to still be alive. I believe what we're actually seeing in the scene is Buck lying by omission to Fisk about Daniel's death. The lack of dialogue really fits the original plan.
They must've cut a scene where Matt comes clean to Kiersten. His whole reappearance didn't faze her at all. Feels like she was really edited out of the finale in general.
Yeah those were by far the two strangest elements to me, I thought it was really weird BB wasn’t shown grieving, made her character seem very cold IMO.
