Disney — news, articles and guides

Disney+ is reviving the dark Marvel superhero universe that previously delighted viewers on Netflix. The first solo project belonged to Daredevil, and a year later the Punisher returned. Unfortunately, not for long. Frank Castle, the most conflicted and brutal antihero in the TV universe, set out on a final mission that spans a single special episode. The title, The Punisher: One Last Kill, seems to suggest a farewell to the character, but it looks like this is far from the end.

The first season of Daredevil: Born Again turned out to be much better than anyone could have expected. Disney managed to preserve the story’s dark tone, the familiar character designs, and the signature atmosphere. That said, it wasn’t without its hiccups. Initially, this soft reboot was supposed to consist of more than ten episodes. In the end, they abandoned that plan, splitting the runtime into two seasons. Essentially, we have one big story with a logical beginning and end, divided into two unequal parts. This naturally led to the first season dragging on for far too long and failing to offer viewers any particularly memorable moments. The second, however, promised to bring all the resolutions together. Seasons aren’t usually split up like this. Let’s discuss the second season of Daredevil: Reborn and figure out if it’s worth watching, even if the first one didn’t impress.
