This article contains spoilers For “Daredevil: Born Again” Episode 7.
“Daredevil: Born again” is undoubtedly an improvement in the Netflix seriesEspecially in its representation of vigilantism and the legal drama which results from it. That said, the long -awaited sequel – which is available to broadcast on Disney + – is not perfect, because the central scenario around the Mysterious serial killer muse (Hunter Doohan) And his artistic efforts are full of missed opportunities, such as a failure to introduce a heroic vigilant whose regular pseudonym almost made his debut in “Iron Fist” of Netflix. Yes, we are talking about Samuel Chung (previously played by James Chen), alias BlindSpot.

The latest series on Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and his escapades to fight crime in New York attach elements of several marvel comic stories. The story of Muse, however, was inspired by the “Daredevil” race of the writer Charles Soule and the artist Ron Garney, who sees the man without fear recruiting Blindspot as his acolyte, only for the young hero’s eyes to be distant during a confrontation between him and the serial killer. BlindSpot finds his eyes thanks to the magic of manual organization, but his vision is definitely altered.
Unfortunately, “Daredevil: Born Again” ignores this element of the reign of muse terror in the comics and makes Murdock face the sadistic villain alone. It’s a shame, really, because not only was this story ideal to make her debut in BlindSpot, but she could have made Muse a more dangerous threat in season 1 of “Daredevil: Born Again”.

Daredevil: Born again lacks the brand with muse
While “Daredevil: Born again” has admirable elementsThe story of Muse leaves much to be desired. To start, the series ignores some of its most interesting powers, such as the ability to make itself almost impossible to detect. Matt Murdock finds him fairly easily in the Disney +series, and he takes it for good during their fight in the episode 7. Apart from his artistic activities, the show depicts Muse as a fairly standard serial killer, and his crimes are not as shocking as they could have been.

That said, having muse gouge out of the eyes of an acolyte like BlindSpot could have given him a really wild moment which established it as a formidable and unpredictable villain. “Daredevil: Born again” gives him nightmarish scenes, of course, but he never presents himself as someone who is able to beat Daredevil in a fight. However, having a muse prevails over an acolyte like Blindspot could have added other issues to the procedure.
In addition, Samuel Chung already exists in this universe, no matter how some people want to forget the “Iron Fist” adaptation. Hopefully “Daredevil: Born Again” will bring the young hero to a later date, but the series has already missed the chance to make a horrible horrible comics scenario on the screen.
