Daredevil: Born Again, Episode 2 First Thoughts and Review

I had recently seen the first and second episodes of the new series "Daredevil: Born Again."

There will be spoilers ahead for episode 2. If you do not want to be spoiled, do not read until you have watched the episode.

So, in this episode, it focuses on two plots: Fisk's new life as mayor and a man who accidentally kills a cop.

This episode hits close to home both on a national stage and a local stage in NYC. In the USA the past few years, there have been stories of vigilantes taking the lives of people and claim self defense. There was one recently in NYC a few years ago, Daniel Penny, who claimed self defense after choking a homeless man on the subway to death. This episode felt a lot like the Daniel Penny case. There have also been a lot of cops who were killed in NYC and around the country the past few years. There has also been a lot of crime on the subway in NYC these past few years, as well, and the problem of subway crime was highlighted in this episode. This episode also highlights how cops and law enforcement and New Yorkers are split about Fisk, similar to how in the real world, cops and law enforcement and New Yorkers are split about Trump. Some see him as a hero and some see right through him and see him as a criminal.

Another aspect that was tackled in this episode was police brutality. It was revealed early on in the episode that when the man tries to stop what he thinks is a crime on the subway, what he actually witnessed was police brutality, because it was revealed shortly after that the man he killed was a cop. This episode hits hard with real life because there have been stories of police brutality and police killing people unjustly. There have also been instances where people have tried defending themselves against police attacking them. Another aspect that is similar to the real world is how victims in police brutality cases face an uphill battle to get justice.

Fisk's new life as mayor was also portrayed well, too. During his first few days as mayor, he has no regard for the rules as mayor. This is similar to how Trump has been in his first term and how he is so far in his second term. They both get things done regardless of the consequences of their actions.
