I had seen her in Avengers, West Coast Avengers, a long run in Fantastic Four, Hulk, and a few odd appearances but not a subscription to her own title when I was reading comics in the eighties and nineties. I enjoyed her superhero storylines and particularly the later humor, and I saw some of her lawyering but not a lot. Before her Disney series I read an ABA article raving about some storylines in the comics as surprisingly some of the best portrayals of trials and trial issues in media from the perspective of actual trial practitioners which piqued my interest for the series when it was announced.Daredevil I was cautiously hopeful that the legal scenes would be as well thought out as the rest of the series elements.In both the legal scenes did not feel to me like A-game focus in the writing but more as somewhat obligatory secondary flavor vehicles for plot advancement that fits in with them as day job attorneys being part of their character descriptions so it is part of the story.Reborn felt a bit better on this front than the prior Punisher defense, but I still felt Matt was off in his role and moral role as a defense attorney in places such as promising White Tiger that he would see Puerto Rico again and his interactions and promises with the niece. Whether this was to show his not great state of mind and his confusion and desperate faith in idealism and the system and himself and right prevailing over what his actual role at those moments as a legal defender who can help but not be a guarantor of justice or whether it is just the writing setting him up to be reborn to vigilantism was not clear to me as a viewer even in reflection.</blockquote>
