Once upon a time, there was a blog that changed the world. A blog which enlightened, informed, entertained, and encouraged the masses. A blog which preached equality, and standing up for what's right. A blog that inspired with every word. That blog is not this one. This blog is gonna be about how awesome that fight scene from episode three, season two, of Daredevil was.
So... spoilers I guess? For one fight scene.
You all know the one I'm talking about. The one with a hallway, a staircase, a chain, a pistol, and one continuous shot. They hinted that there would be a fight scene that was going to as awesome as last year's hallway fight. They said it might be as good. And by god, they delivered. The scene was five minutes of one continuous shot that moved from a hallway into a stairwell and down those stairs. It was brutal, it was intense, and it was glorious.
I'm not going to talk about the scene preceding this fight, all you need to know is that Murdock had been chained up, and had a gun duct taped to his hand.
In this one scene, you got to see just how far Matt Murdock has come as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen. The way he fights is more methodical. He's using the tools he has available. He was more efficient. The scene gave me chills. You, as the viewer, know that Murdock could be killing each and every one of the bikers attacking him, yet he knows exactly how far he can go without killing them, and he never crosses that line. The chain became an extension of his arm, he was wielding it like he had been born with it. Effortlessly whipping it back and forth, knocking guns out of people's hands, pulling people to him.
The scene finally ends with him standing on the ground floor, surrounded by unconscious bikers, chain still clenched in his fist, as he calmly collects his breath. The fight choreography in this show, guys, seriously. THE CHOREOGRAPHY IN THIS SHOW. It is like nothing else out there. Other shows have tried copying it: Arrow, Agents of SHIELD, and those are just the A's. I'm only on episode 6, due to some internet issues last night, but I am already liking this season more than the first. Which is really saying something considering how good that first season was.
You can catch up with Daredevil on Netflix, and while you're there, check out the other Defender of Hell's Kitchen: Jessica Jones.
