6 Thoughts on the First Season of Daredevil: Born Again (Review)
It’s a shame that Andor has already started because I’ve already stopped thinking about Daredevil: Born Again. Heh. But still, I’m here to talk about my thoughts on the first season of the new Daredevil show. And like the Marvel Zombie I am, I enjoyed the season, though I don’t think it lived up to the hype.
TV Show Rating: 7/10 – Good
I watched and enjoyed the original three seasons of Daredevil when they came out on Netflix. I binged them just like everybody else, and I enjoyed all three seasons. I’m not the biggest Daredevil fan, but I’ve read a lot of his comics and I’m always in favor of more Marvel entertainment. I’ve definitely been fully on board with bringing back the original actors to revive the Netflix show. I just wish it had been a little stronger.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts/review of the first season of Daredevil: Born Again. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!

Daredevil: Born Again is coming to Disney+ on March 4! And that’s according to it’s first official trailer, which arrived yesterday! Don’t read this, watch the trailer!
This looks super exciting. Just like everybody else, I’m very much loving the idea of bringing back the Netflix Daredevil show with more seasons. Charlie Cox and his pals are just so perfect as the Daredevil cast, and his few appearances in Spider-Man and She-Hulk have only whet the whistle. We need him back for reals!
Hopefully Born Again lives up to all the hype. The fans know exactly what they want, and surely Disney can’t be oblivious to that. And while you can’t always just give fans what they want…this is an expensive TV show we’re talking about, with a lot of the MCU’s future hanging on its success. Are Disney and Marvel going to do right by the fans? Or are they going to change things in an attempt to be different?
We’ll find out when Daredevil: Born Again comes to Disney+ on March 4!

Did You See This Sweet Marvel Disney+ Trailer?
To coincide with the Agatha All Along finale, Marvel put out this sizzle reel of upcoming Disney+ releases. This teaser trailer delivers our first official looks at Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart, Eyes of Wakanda, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and, especially, Wonder Man! Everything looks so good!
I remain a staunch fan of Marvel Studios content. Agatha All Along was very good and I really enjoyed the finale. And I can’t wait for these shows! I know people aren’t too excited for Ironheart, but I think it looks good! I prefer my Iron People to be nuts and bolts, not nanomachines. And Wonder Man could be a real sleeper hit. Daredevil: Born Again will hopefully live up to all the hype. And the various cartoons should be a hoot!
Granted, this means 2025 is going to be full of Marvel content, with three movies and now half a dozen shows. But I think Marvel just needs to burn off all these completed projects before they slow their releases. And I’m all for it!

6 Thoughts on Echo
Consider me among the people who wasn’t sure if an Echo spin-off series as a great idea. I enjoyed the Hawkeye TV show probably more than most people, and Echo was a fine antagonist in that series, but she wasn’t exactly a showstealer. And her character isn’t exactly all that popular or well known in the comics. But Marvel do what Marvel do, and we got ourselves an Echo TV show!
TV Show Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
In a change from the normal Marvel show on Disney+, all five episodes of Echo were released on the same day. Ultimately, this was a great idea, because those episodes were not meaty enough to warrant week-by-week release. I was able to binge the whole thing over a few nights and I can say I’m pleased with the final product. It’s not as bad as I feared, though it also didn’t do much to warrant existing. Still, there’s more good than bad in the first season of Echo and I wouldn’t mind seeing more — especially guest starring elsewhere.
Join me after the jump for my review and full thoughts on the Echo TV show! Expect SOME SPOILERS for the show, and feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Everybody thought Echo wasn’t going to be much of anything. Marvel is dropping all 5 episodes at the same time next Tuesday, and many took that as a sign that Marvel wanted to get rid of this show as soon as possible. But honestly, they’ve been doing a great job with promoting how badass Echo might be.
Check out this new trailer, which obviously focuses on Kingpin, but it’s still good.
And then we’ve got a behind-the-scenes featurette on how they incorporated Echo’s Native American heritage, which is cool.
I’m a fan of almost everything the MCU puts out, so I’m very much looking forward to binging Echo next week. Hopefully it lives up to the awesomeness of these promotional trailers. Keep the hope alive, everybody! Hold on to that feeling!
All 5 episodes of Echo come out on Disney+ on Tuesday, Jan. 9.
