Daredevil Gets Called Into Question by Fans After Reality Shatters 1 Illusion About the Series Despite Following a Similar Format as Spider-Man
- Daredevil is one of the acclaimed shows in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but fans did not seem to realize something about it until recently.
- The masked vigilante is primarily focused on the criminal activities in Hell's Kitchen and some fans are now realizing that the locality is rather small.
- Daredevil and Spider-Man are not much different from each other because both of them are local superheroes.
Daredevil is one of the most beloved TV series with the eponymous superhero leading it. Its fan demand has always been huge to the point that the show had to be revived after the Netflix version was canceled. Based on Marvel comics of the same name, the series was led by Charlie Cox.
Despite the kind of popularity that this series has, fans are now questioning its credibility as they realize that one of the most important factors of the show is not quite what it seems. The fact that the show is set in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen was not truly a problem until a fan actually visited the area and reality began sinking in.
Daredevil Raises Eyebrows as Fans Discover the Reality of the Premise
For those unversed, Daredevil revolves around the blind lawyer-turned-superhero Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox). He has heightened senses due to his exposure to a radioactive substance during an accident which led to his blindness. He puts these senses to good use by fighting off the criminals by the night as a masked vigilante and working as a lawyer in the day.
Matt’s crime-fighting activities are mostly based in the Hell’s Kitchen where he grew up and continues to live. While this might seem like a minor detail in the grand scheme of things, fans unearthing the fact that the area is not that huge seems to be causing a shift in perspective.
It all started when a fan on X visited NYC and found out the truth about Hell’s Kitchen. This led to other fans also expressing their views regarding this particular detail which might have been overseen by many.
The Hell’s Kitchen being such a small area might have been a revelation for some. However, considering that Matt is blind, it seems understandable that he only shoulders the responsibility of this locality. Fighting off evil is an act of courage itself no wonder how large or small the scale is. Not to mention that this area has enough criminal activities to keep Matt busy.
Daredevil’s Predicament Matches with That of One of His Allies, Spider-Man
It is no secret that Daredevil is one of the biggest allies of Marvel’s young web-slinging superhero, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. As the label suggests, Spider-Man also operates as a local hero, unlike some other superheroes in the franchise.
Both Daredevil and Spider-Man are based in New York, and the latter watches over Queens borough. Queens might be larger in terms of area than Hell’s Kitchen, but it still does not change the fact that these are superheroes who operate at a local level.
These superheroes are also very alike in the fact that their powers originate from a radioactive source and have tragic pasts. Further, they struggle to balance their personal lives with their responsibilities as their superheroes. To sum it up, they might be operating in smaller areas, but their responsibilities are not any lesser than other superheroes.
