Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

[Maxperson]

Sorry, no. If you pretend to realism, as this show has, and you pretend powers work in specific ways, you, the writer of the show, have to engage your brain before casually using wacky comics stuff. There's tons and tons of stuff from the comics that MCU and indeed the Netflix shows knew was far too silly or just plain dimwitted to bring into a TV series or movie which wasn't pure vague fantasy.

What realism? Bullseye used his ability to spit a tooth through a skull. Go try that a few million times and see if you are successful even once. They aren't attempting to keep Daredevils powers all that realistic.

I love that scene in Star Trek IV when Scotty is trying to talk to the computer and the guy tells him to use the keyboard. “Keyboard? How quaint!”

That scene involves a mouse. After Scotty first tries to talk to the screen, the guy hands him a mouse, and Scotty talks to that, assuming it's a microphone. Then the keyboard is introduced.

Bullseye's ability is to literally turn any object into a high-velocity projectile. That's an absolutely straightforward use of his power. Did you think is power was just precision or something? And "pretend to" is not the same as "actual" realism, obvs.

And Daredevil's super power is hyper senses and object reading is a straightforward use of his power. The difference? Bullseye doesn't have a super power. He mundanely trained to do his spit a tooth through a skull trick. Daredevil as an actual super power. How long do you think it would take you to train to do what Bullseye did?

Bullseye's ability pretends to be realism. Daredevil's does not. There is no realism, pretend or otherwise with his super powers.

Bullseye used his ability to spit a tooth through a skull.

I thought he shot it through the guy's eye not his skull, then killed him with the unhinged scissor blade as the guy was writhing on the ground.

hyper senses and object reading is a straightforward use of his power.

I am going to disagree here. I don't go by the theory that everyone is low level psychic and so hyper senses include enhancing Daredevil's psychic ones to pick up on Muse as the artist and the psychic emotional connection to the therapist as the subject of the painting. I also don't go by a theory that Daredevil individually separately has psychic powers tied into his enhanced senses. I just go with super sensitive touch he can ridiculously usefully focus in on like in the vault or possibly with the bullet casing skull paint.

Either way, you aren't spitting a tooth that hard. And in the comics Bullseye can kill with playing cards and other super minor things that wouldn't actually be lethal. All mundanely trained.

I meant reading objects with his fine sense of touch, not object reading the psychic power, though I can see how it could have seemed that way.

We are actually in agreement.

I can't speak for the comics because I've never read any of them, but having recently watched the OG Daredevil show, I think it was at least implied (if not stated outright) on the show that Dex was born with his abilities ~ it would be in the episode where Fisk is learning about Dex's past. He may have honed them over the years, but spitting a tooth through someone's eye isn't something anyone could learn to do with enough practice.

In times like these a refine comes to mind "It's just a show; I should really just relax."
