Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

Yeah, he's shot off screen and the degree of the injury is one of those "could have been lethal, but has been known not to be."

He made three death saves, so the critical wound was just a minor inconvenience.

The ending of episode three was, shall we say, dramatic, though I personally kind of saw it coming.

I saw what happened coming, but not who would be the one to do it.

Porque no los dos?

My guess re: the actual killer? Bullseye wearing a Punisher outfit, given he survived.

As such it seems more likely he's working for Kingpin, but may well have the assistance of Punisher Cultist cops. I feel like if it was just cop-cultists, there'd have been more than one of them, possibly an entire team with long guns. Only bringing one guy to kill someone with superhuman strength and speed suggests pretty serious confidence. Bullseye is notably extremely confident (though it was a single close-range shot, and he specializes in fancier stuff).

I think we would have heard if Bullseye escaped prison. My feeling is that it was either the Punisher or one of the cops mimicking him.

Note that a police SUV rolls up in the background right as White Tiger gets shot.

I didn't note that, interesting.

Assuming the ambush was made considerably easier to pull off by knowing White Tiger’s identity and probably tailing him, I also wonder how guilty Matt’s going to feel about unethically getting him killed and putting his family in danger.

Knowing who he is IRL would have made it utterly trivial for whoever to murder him, so he definitely shouldn't feel guilty about that. And his identity as the White Tiger would 100% have come out after the trial anyway - it's not like anyone would have had any interest in keeping that quiet. The prosecutor or the cops or even the judge would have blabbed (most likely the cops), hell I don't know what records would have been released in an NY court but I know there are courts where evidence that was barred is listed after the trial.

But since this is Matt Murdock, of which catholic guilt is a core part of his character....yeah he is going to feel it.

And we're like, lightly supposed to believe Punisher did it because the guy walking away had a Punisher skull on his bulletproof vest, but like, we'd already seen cops that episode with Punisher skull tattoos, so this is perhaps a The Dead Pool (i.e. the Dirty Harry movie) scenario, rather than it actually being Punisher. I.e. evil, murderous cops are inspired by Punisher and acting in his name, using his imagery. In The Dead Pool the similar scenario ended up with Harry gunning down all the cops who claimed to idolize him and his "example" and throwing a bomb into the car of the mayor (I think?) who approved of them...

I don't think it was the intent that we were supposed to believe it anyway. That was nothing like how Frank would have done it, and the punisher gear looked like a knock off.

And yeah, it was expected, but better in the end than the comic book version, to get capped while innocent and on duty rather than while escaping a bogus verdict and gunned down by the police.

No spoilers but it seems to have captured the spirit of "la Miserables" the book. And that's not a good thing for a super hero movie.

And I think this guy is dead on on why in some ways the story falls a little flat.

So long as they don’t burst into song it’s all good.

Why I said the spirit of the book which made seem crawling through a field of broken glass a preferable action
