The only thing that actually made me feel anything remotely real about that plot point was those few seconds after the body lands behind Karen where you can see her realize she might have just lost Foggy and Matt before she turns and sees it's Dex. That was good. Everything else just felt ridiculous.

The most damning thing I can say about the daredevil reboot is that I watched one of my favorite characters get tragically gunned down in front of his best friends and felt absolutely nothing besides vague bemusement.

#in general the only times the show came even remotely close to the original series was when the og cast was interacting and their chemistry #could carry the iffy writing. and even then a lot of it still didnt work bc of the context theyre in. like matt's grief over foggy did #nothing for me in part because they cant actually let him get as impacted by it as he realistically would be so you're watching him cry and #throw dex off a roof and the entire time you're just like. why isn't he trying to kill himself #like you mean to tell me that this guy went full rotting-in-a-church-crypt-my-friends-are-better-off-thinking-im-dead-lost-my-faith bc his #college girlfriend who he thought was dead died for real but his best friend of over a decade who is basically his family and the person #he's closest with in the whole world gets gunned down in front of him by one of his past enemies who he could have killed but didn't and #was (as far as he knows) attacking his friend because of him and a year later he's kind of sad but living his life? girl bye #he should be at the bottom of the east river. or on a murder spree. or both.#like even the fact that he hangs up the suit bc he wanted to kill dex and not bc he probably got foggy killed is wild to me #look how they massacred my boy
