'Born Again's Showrunner Is Wrong About Netflix’s 'Daredevil,' and the First Ten Minutes Prove It

Marvel Cinematic Universe fans’ excitement for Daredevil: Born Again continues to grow, especially after the sequel series’ first trailer suggested that it will have a dark, intense tone similar to that of Netflix’s acclaimed original Daredevil show. But Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane recently made some comments about the earlier series that most fans will likely object to and which raise concerns that the new show may not be of as high quality as the trailer suggests. While comparing the two shows during an interview with SFX Magazine, Scardapane said, “The earlier show, at its best, was fantastic,” but also asserted that, “At its worst, it was two characters in a room talking about what a hero is. I felt that had been done.” He elaborated that, “I just didn’t want to hear characters grousing about their lot in life. I wanted to see them doing things.”
