Just like many people who have watched this show and gave good reviews, I also feel that the second season is simply a work of conscience for Marvel and Netflix, less the visual impact special effects of ordinary Marvel movies, and more at the beginning. Some issues are discussed, which can arouse the audience's resonance and common thinking.
In my understanding, it seems that the entire second season is about matt's tangled and swaying attitude towards the dark side of society. Although there is no clear statement at the end of the season whether matt is more inclined to that side, but with the progress of the plot, the third season should be There will be a conclusion, I am looking forward to the third season, but unfortunately I will not be able to watch it until next year.
The goddess of justice (probably themis) holding a scale and a sword at the beginning of the film naturally reminds me of Daredevil, who is also blindfolded. The meaning of the blindfolded goddess of justice is not to reject the truth that can be seen by vision, but that what the human eye sees may not necessarily be a good way to show the absolute objective truth of the event. "Fortunately" Matt has lost the sense of vision since he was a child, and he may be immune to most tricks in the world. After all, vision is the most important sense of human beings. It is mainly because people often judge some events from what they see. Seeing is believing. That's what it means. Matt's blindfolding like the goddess of justice is not entirely for being handsome, probably because the screenwriter wants to convey to the audience that Daredevil abandons all the "processed" truths in the world and uses his own judgment to measure the justice and evil in the world.
At the end of the title, a human figure appeared, and I thought he was Daredevil for the time being. At first, I was still wondering if Daredevil was not a positive vigilante in this drama, why would he be in him? The image of the devil is mixed with some symbolic elements of the devil. (I personally think that Marvel's comics are too big, and it's a bit prohibitive, so I don't know if the Daredevil in the comics is also this image.) At the same time, when Matt appeared as Daredevil, the costumes also changed from the first season to the second season. Evolution, the devil's symbolic ear symbol appeared on the top of the head. When I saw the appearance of elektra, I probably understood this question. Matt, who is just like Daredevil, actually has a Daredevil who is different from the public in his heart.
Matt's original intention to appear as Daredevil is actually very similar to the Batman played by Christian Bale, mainly the second most acclaimed film, the one opposite the Joker. There are too many of these two roles. Common point, (the main difference is that Batman is the main facade of DC, Daredevil is only one of the defenders of Marvel, and the facade should be in the avengers) In the Dark Knight, Batman also refused to kill, In fact, it is more accurate to say that he refuses to use lynching without authorization, and insists on procedural justice and judicial order. In order to shatter his obsession, the Joker uses various targeted means, more like arguing with Batman. The part where they have similar personalities will also make them take some similar actions. For example, when Matt caught the punisher and handed it over to the police, he said that he must announce that the punisher was caught by the police, so that people's confidence in the judicial order can still continue. ; And when Batman handed the double-faced man to the police, he also said that he must announce that he was caught by the police. It doesn't matter if he becomes the villain in everyone's eyes. There is still confidence in the law enforcement of the two, which is the similarity of the original intentions of the two.
It's a bit far-fetched, and whether Matt's attitude is the same procedural justice as Batman or a more "effective" lynching, I will refer to these two aspects as "positive" and "evil" for the time being. Evil is not an evil evil. After all, lynching seems to be more effective and efficient. Probably this "evil" is the evil of Huang Yaoshi, Dongxie. In fact, his contradictory attitude towards this issue is mainly reflected in the two symbolic roles of karen and elektra. Karen and elektra symbolize good and evil, respectively. As an assistant, Karen has always been very supportive of his procedural justice and the maintenance of judicial order. This is when they plan to defend the judges in court against the pressure of the world. Karen has been digging the truth to complete the justice process. It can be seen; and elektra symbolizes the evil side of matt, which is fully revealed in the part where he instigates matt to kill his enemy. Matt swaying between the two of them didn't seem to see any hesitation at all, because these two women were actually his own attitude, the attributes of love were relatively weak, and the incompatibility of love was also covered by the complexity of his personality.
His feelings for karen are more like rational love, as if his rationality is telling him that he should love karen, because to love karen is to love justice, procedural justice and judicial order, matt and karen get along very reserved, just Matt's identity is not Daredevil. Daredevil's identity is more like him subconsciously and in his heart. He also has an evil side in his heart. The evil part makes him fall in love with elektra again. In time, his love for elektra came from the heart. Matt could show his Daredevil identity in front of her at will, that is, he actually had more of the evil part in his heart. The two of them could be in the boxing ring. It's more like an outburst of instinct, compared to Matt's rejection of Karen's obvious invitation to go to her house. It can only be said that Matt's mouth is hard, but his body is too early. He betrayed his choice of attitude towards this matter. Similarly, Matt took the job of defending the Punisher himself on the surface, and on the surface he also wanted to do a good job in this case from beginning to end, but in fact, as long as elektra waved his hand gently, Matt would be in the past. I went with her to kill the neon gang. Although theoretically it can't kill people, the symbolic meaning is already obvious. So the contradiction of matt has been revealed. The whole second season of the plot is to move forward in his swaying and ambiguous attitude.
I really want to pull it out to discuss this question. I believe the answer is also diverse. The goal of good and evil is to punish evil and promote good. First of all, procedural justice and judicial order are inseparable from the judgment of the law. The vigilante's lynching is jumping. After the step of the legal judgment, the entire judgment process is carried out by themselves, and the "enforcement" is carried out by themselves. This is reflected in those who are represented by the punishers. They have extreme distrust of the legal process and believe that official justice and law enforcement may not necessarily bring ultimate justice. In fact, I think the greatest significance of these laws at our current stage is not to say that they will eventually bring us an absolutely just result. If modern laws can be effectively formulated and enforced, what can be guaranteed is that the No individual can put his own selfish desires above the collective will, because there is such a criterion, so if the final result cannot be said to be 100% just, it must be 100% just. But there is still a big premise before this 100% fair result - if the law can be effectively formulated and enforced. When there is a problem with this premise, the final result will definitely be affected, and injustice is born. Once the process of legal judgment is too lengthy, more loopholes will be exposed to be used by injustice, so there will be some resistance in the group, like the punisher, the use of lynching is very widespread and unlimited. Fortunately, he still has a correct understanding of whether the incident is just or not. This kind of vigilante is still good. At least the entire law enforcement process is much more efficient than legal procedures, but this situation also has a big premise - the three views of vigilantes. To be positive, the judgment standard cannot be biased towards evil, otherwise there will be no good results in the end. Therefore, this contradiction is an issue that can be discussed in depth, mainly reflected in the contradiction of Daredevil.
In the end, when Matt confessed his identity as Daredevil to Karen, maybe this is a reflection of Matt's acceptance of his own contradictions, and he can explain all his attitudes to his positive side. This is a clue for the next season, and I'm looking forward to the third season.
But then again, even if matt doesn't give himself a clear answer to whether he is more positive or evil, his image is already full enough. Human nature is inherently a contradiction. If the screenwriter simply sets the plot as matt Through some things, it is simply biased towards either good or evil, and the whole story is simply like a propositional essay, or a popcorn movie, rushing to start and rushing to the end, and by the way, instill a little value in you, just There will not be a Daredevil who is controversial and can continue to discuss calmly like now. Compared to Captain America, a superhero with a perfect human nature, Daredevil is closer to the earthly air of human beings.
