Once I finished Daredevil and thought back on it, I realized… Okay, so you know how a really good sex scene is often more than just a sex scene? It can be a kind of emotional dialogue. A conversation that happens in a language beyond words. Things the characters can’t find words to express can be brought up, turned over and, sometimes, laid to rest.
Matt’s fights are like that.
They’re not dialogues with the people he’s fighting, usually. (Except in one or two notable cases.) They’re mostly dialogues with himself–spectres of his past, the different sides of his personality, the demons that haunt him. As you get to know him better and learn more about his backstory, you begin to recognize how he’s negotiating with his anger, how he’s exploring his childhood traumas through these battles.
And I mean, if that sounds supremely fucked up then yeah, it is. That comes up too, a little bit.
