This is a massive Character Corner episode. We cover 3 characters: Daredevil, Elektra and Punisher. This was a really great episode that allows us to dig into the depressing life of Matt Murdock. What makes Daredevil such a great character is how much Matt Murdock matters to understanding the character. We cover the major moments in Matt's life and how it all continues to spiral downhill. From crazy ninja ex-girlfriends, to dead girlfriends to murderous villains like Bullseye and Kingpin. We then talk a little bit about Elektra and then dig into the craziness that is Frank Castle, aka The Punisher. We end with a discussion on how Punisher and Daredevil really work well as competing narratives of the same end goal. You're not going to want to miss this.
