Finished DD3. Spoiler warning!
What I liked:
1. I think it had the best writing out of all 3 seasons.
2. That part where Karen confronts Kingpin in his apartment was daaaaaang tense!
3. Figured out where his mom was from - The Man Who Knew Too Little! Great movie with Bill Murray.
4. That part with frozen Julie in the van at the end when he drives to the hotel lolololol yeah Dex is nuts
5. Poor Nadeem. I was mad at his wife for going to the FBI but then she wrote the note for Foggy, noice
6. That prison fight scene, c'mon...dang!
7. The spoon to Haggerty's head when Dex runs out of bullets, lol. doink.
8. I don't really feel like they gave enough of an argument to give the law any real favor. Foggy keeps arguing this is how we do things, the law always wins, but everything keeps going wrong & eventually Nadeem gets killed. So no, it didn't work. I felt like they could have made more of a case for why the law was so important, because everytime Foggy tries to convince Matt, I was like, that is such a dumb argument.
If I had to gripe:
1. They gave Karen like a whole episode for backstory. I felt like that would have been better cut up & interspersed with her conversation with Kingpin, to understand where she was coming from. And Foggy really didn't get much backstory, I felt like they should have thrown something in for him as well.
2. The ending should have ended on a cliff hanger. Like, maybe Dex can't get to Kingpin because of Matt, so he shifts gears & kills Vanessa instead, which sends Kingpin into a mad rage, and THAT'S where it ends - and then you'd be like, oh snap, it's gonna go down next season! Or have Dex or even Vanessa kill Kingpin, so Vanessa becomes the new criminal overlord (because she did say her hands weren't clean). I really liked the first season's ending, where Matt shows up to Karen, pulls his mask out of the bag, and is like "I am the Daredevil". END CREDITS. THAT is how you end a season!
3. The entire show could have been easily resolved if they had just called in the Punisher, lol.
4. Likewise, I dunno why Nadeem didn't just shoot Kingpin when he first went back to his apartment. Too much of a good guy, but he had somebody on everybody, so, you know...solve the problem.
5. I would have written the roof-hanging scene with the English guy Felix. So first, I wouldn't have had Matt call Dex to tell him about Julie. Then have the rooftop scene with Felix. THEN, Dex shows up to rescue Felix, and Felix knows Kingpin is gonna kill him, so he tells Dex about what Kingpin did to Julie, THEN Dex goes into a mad rage & races to the hotel. Because it made ZERO SENSE that Matt told Dex about Julie & then fought him off at the hotel, other than simply to get him to the hotel just so he had all of the bad guys in one place, I guess, which was just really lame writing.
Because then Matt would be headed to kill Kingpin, and Dex would be headed to kill Kingpin, but Matt wants the kill, so he stops Dex, and THEN goes to kill Kingpin, and then shows him mercy. That would have been way more intense & the writing would have made sense.
6. Needed more fight scenes. Love their choreography.
Hope they do DD Season 4, whether it's on Netflix or on Disney!
