In “Trial of the Century”, Matt Hector with his long -time partner Foggy Nelson represents. After the shocking premiere of “Born Again” this is not possible, So Matt’s partner is instead Kirsten McDuffie (Nikki M. James).
Then there is the prosecutor. In “Born Again” it is district prosecutor Benjamin Hochberg (John Benjamin Hickey). He is ruthless enough and called “The Hawk”, but he has no agenda that wins his case as a lawyer wants. In “Trial of the Century” the prosecutor Paul Delacourt was called and he made Hawk look like a sparrow.
Delacourt wanted to condemn Hector to delegitimize vigilance and superheroes. The trial version was about sending a message (and strengthening Delacourt’s political career). In the event that there are doubts that you shouldn’t like Delacourt, Gutierrez draws him like an ogre, completely with soulless tones for eyes. In the end it looks like The monstrous mob boss Mr. Wallenquist from “Sin City”.
And there is another big change. Hector Ayala’s process is fire in both versions, but he was arrested in the comic as White tiger. Two young drug addicts robbed an electronics business and a police officer reacted. Then White Tiger arrived and tried to help. Instead, the policeman was shot and the stolen television of the crooks landed in the hands of the white tiger, which makes it guilty as more police officers.
Adjusting Hector’s crimes and emphasis more as the NYPD wants blood to blood is part of a wider point in “Daredevil: Born”. Police are bullies with too many weapons and far too little regulation. Fear of and violent against the people that their motto claims to protect and serve. Therefore so many police officers, Love both in the real world and in the Marvel Cinematic Universe the Punisher. As Frank Castle, they see themselves, that is, a “badass” that does not listen to the law and violently kills the “garbage” that deserves it.
“Trial of the Century” also comes from “Out”, as Matt’s identity from the FBI leaked and ran on the front page of the Daily Globe. Matt, the self -flay martyr, who he is, decides that Hector’s case was doomed by him. It looked as if the superheroes close the ranking lists to defend each other. It is sad that Matt’s Catholic guilt has some weight this time.
Marvel comics Then the last change of the process: Hector in the comic is guilty, which means that he bursts out of the courtroom and decides to die from suicide from a police officer. “Born Again” releases him and gives him even less agency than the comic. The Show definitely makes a point by pointing the police on unjustified destinations on an innocent Latino manHowever, the fact that Hector was doomed to fail in both directions means that this “Born Again” episode ends with a discouraging grade. On the other hand, it may be a note that some still had to hear.
