This singular frame was all it took to undo my very extreme hatred of Adam, Vivienne Medrano how dare you make me feel sympathy for this man-

Like, Adam before this scene? A blatant misogynist and a hypocrite who unabashedly revels in sinners' suffering. A guy who has no regard for anyone else, and who pisses pretty much every viewer off with patronizing jabs like "sorry sweetie" and "try to chillax, babe." Ugh, disgusting.

As the first man, it seems like he got an easy pass into Heaven. Maybe the angels were just saving face, given that their core pair of humans both took the fruit of knowledge of good and evil willingly, ordaining Adam on the technicality that "Eve did it first." But I think we can all agree that it was not on the merit of Adam's virtue.

And then Charlie draws blood during their fight in Episode 8, and, for the first time, Adam genuinely realizes he can be hurt. Like, for the first time in the duration of the show, in his entire fucking existence, someone shows him that he is not, in fact, an all-powerful symbol of power and superiority. He's just a guy with privilege who is just as vulnerable, just as flawed, just as human as the rest of them.

But once the mask is shattered, revealing the rather unexceptional man underneath, does Adam back down? Of course not—he doubles down. There's nothing worse than a narcissist who is virtually incapable of seeing the error of their ways, even when they're clearly backed into a corner. Bruised and bloody, he bellows that he's THE man; everybody should worship him.

For me, that pretty much hit the nail in the coffin. There was no redeeming a character like Adam (ironic, since he's one of the few characters in the show not in need of redemption).

So isn't it fitting, then, that his death didn't happen in some grand display requiring all of Lucifer or Charlie's might? Isn't it fitting that Adam falls to Niffty—not Lucifer, not an overlord, but a common sinner, who sees him as nothing more than a foot soldier that needs to be eliminated, a pest as easily squashed as a roach? For someone as self-aggrandizing as Adam, this has to be one of the most humiliating ways to die. The perfect end for an insufferable antagonist.

But nooo, Vivziepop didn't end it there.

Because INSTEAD, we hear Lute's heart-wrenching screams as she realizes that Adam has just been defeated; we see the look on her tear-streaked face when it registers just how badly he's been injured. The fear in her eyes at the prospect of living in a world without the angel she idolizes, the man she serves.

She's not concerned that she's just lost her arm, or that Vaggie is standing right there. In that moment, the only person in Hell is Adam, and all she wants is for him to stay with her.

Adam could have easily dismissed her feelings entirely. He could have spent his last breath hurling one last insult at Lucifer, getting the satisfaction of having the last word before his death. He could have thrown himself a pity party and cursed his fate.

Instead, this greedy, selfish, murderous fiend has the audacity to see Lute in his field of vision and flash her one last, tender smile.

We don't know for sure what Adam was thinking in this shot, but personally, I think it was something along the lines of I lost. Proud of you, Lute. I'll miss you. Goodbye.

Whatever his final thoughts are, we can surmise from his expression alone that he's accepted his fate, and that he's grateful his last seconds alive are locking eyes with someone who's important to him. Someone he cares about.

And THAT—that was enough to crack through that thick shell of hatred I'd developed for Adam and shatter it like the mask he wore for seven and a half episodes of the show. THAT 8-second moment was enough to make me reconsider my stance on Adam as an irredeemable villain.

(CURSE YOU, VIVIENNE!!!)

Does this scene cancel out all the heinous things Adam does throughout Season 1? All the lives he destroys, all the pain he causes to thousands upon thousands of souls? Absolutely not. But it does change my perception of Adam from "obnoxious egomaniac with no self-awareness" to "obnoxious egomaniac with no self-awareness that is a product of the flawed system he perpetuates."

And, I gotta wonder, what would Adam have been like if Heaven had been different?

Based on what we know about Daredevil: Born Again, this is how I think the storyline of the show will go:

1) Episodes 1-2: Takes place a few months/years before the present day. Bullseye somehow escapes prison and goes after Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk for revenge. During a fight with Matt, Foggy Nelson is killed by Bullseye, resulting in Matt savagely beating Bullseye and nearly killing him. Matt then officially retires from being Daredevil. This was what Matt meant by “a line was crossed”.

2) Episodes 3-8: In the present day, Matt is unexpectedly pulled out of retirement by Wilson Fisk. Fisk says that he’s trying to be a legitimate Mayor and part of the reason is that he’s trying to win back Maya Lopez. However, his campaign has hit a snag in the form of Muse. Muse is a serial killer who is terrorizing the city as part of his “art” and has made Fisk his latest target. Since Fisk’s men can’t stop Muse, he had no choice but to ask Matt Murdock to do it.

3) Episode 9: In the finale to the Muse arc, Matt manages to take Muse down once and for all. Wilson Fisk then officially becomes Mayor. In his first act as Mayor, Fisk initiates a series of anti-vigilante laws aimed at taking down all the street-level heroes. He claims this is necessary considering that the city was terrorized by Muse, who he frames as being no better than all the other vigilantes. Realizing that Fisk double crossed him, Matt goes on the run.

4) Episodes 10-18: Matt Murdock is being hunted down by the NYPD. Since the entire city has turned against him, Matt has no choice but to seek out Frank Castle/The Punisher for help. This last half of the show is centered on Matt and Frank trying to find a way to take Wilson Fisk down, as well as repeal the anti-vigilante laws. The duo are also joined by other street-level heroes, such as White Tiger who was announced for the series. Also, maybe Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel since Yusuf Khan is in the show, which is CRAZY considering the tone. Although if Kamala is in Born Again, the most TV-MA thing they’ll let her do is probably say “shit” or “ass”.
