This article contains spoiler For “Daredevil: Born Again” season 1, episode 3.
Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) has always been a complex type, as it opposes a devil who plays for the angel side. The character’s first headlining appearance in the Marvel Cinematic universe continues to be strongly based on this characterization and shows its charm, its smarts, his guilt and its determination with the same enthusiasm. However, if Matt deals with the Hector Ayala (Kamar de Los Reyes, who died in 2023) Murder case with the best intentions in the heart, a special call he makes, becomes one of the most outstanding MCU examples for mere moral ambiguity.
In the second episode of “Daredevil: Born Again” (Read our review)Hector tries to stop two men (who are without pounding police officers without knocking) who upgrade someone, and the subsequent fracas stumbling from an oncoming train. Matt chances of the case when his super senses notice the arrested Hector’s danger. The lawyer quickly realizes that the man is not only innocent, but also the NYPD officials are convinced that he is a cop killer and treats him as such.
Matt’s investigator Cherry (Clark Johnson) soon manages to reveal two main instructions: that Hector secretly is the notorious waxing White Tiger and the guy that the two undercover officers beat, Nicky Torres (Nick Jordan) was an informant. Unfortunately, in general and especially Hector in particular, Torres, the star witness, has to fear to say the truth about the witness stand and leave matt without spending anything. For this reason, he decides to build up two cases at the same time: a new defense in which he eliminates Hector as a white tiger without warning, and a case of himself as a deeply not trustworthy guy who can ruin the life of a good man with a single strategy change.
Matt’s decision would have done Hector to fail, no matter what happened
Matt is desperate to win the case and surprisingly reveals Hector as a white tiger after Nicky had returned. Admittedly, this improvised strategy enables the defender to paint a (correct) image of a strong -hearted defender of the weak that the NYPD had previously helped and that two police officers would never knowingly attack, especially without his tamet. However, Daredevil should understand that the unveiling of the identity of a vigilante in a top -class court case, no matter what happens.
Matt argues that Hector can deal with the situation by simply dropping his crime fighter personality after being innocent, but really, what would that be, even if Hector could (what he cannot)? The white tiger is slightly famous enough for the New Yorkers to discuss it in the same way Kingpin (Vincent d’Unofrio, back to “Hawkeye” and “Echo”) Can casually play on Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and trust his audience to receive the reference. This means that the white tiger – and now Hector – has dozens of dozens, if not hundreds of vengeful enemies. During the procedure, it is also expressly stated that Hector with his family lives in a regular rental space and that he is as vulnerable as the next type if he does not wear his amulet. The criminal world now knows that the man behind the white tiger mask has several helpless relatives and no real defense resources, and he is suddenly very easy to find.
Regardless of whether Hector ever bears the costume after the verdict, he and his family will always have a destination on his back. The white tiger is predictable enough by an invisible attacker who carries the skull logo of the Punisher (Jon Bernthal) skull the next time he hits the street.
For a lawyer, Matt has little considerate of the process
The double ways of a lawyer and a vigilante are difficult to walk in the best times, but Matts Possen with his star witness and the sudden revelation of the white tigers show such contempt by the court that Richter Cooper (Andrew Polk) has a short break in which he and district attorney Ben Be Jochberg (John Benjamin Hicinyin) take a short pause. Both men are absolutely angry with Matt’s decision to play the white tiger card without warning, which makes it clear that they consider the move to be incredibly unprofessional. The judge does not estimate Matt that he is effectively forcing his hand to continue the White Tiger line, while Hochberg threatens the villain defender with a few high trade contracts from the entirety of the law enforcement authorities in New York. Hector is also not enthusiastic. He expressly states that the secret of the lawyer could never be told, and really, Matt should at least have tried to consult his client about the situation before opening his mouth and did the man to fail.
Despite the frankly questionable step of putting Hector in a place of danger that ultimately kills him, it is clear that Matts are intentions. He discovered an innocent guy in life -changing difficulties, offered him to represent him Pro Bono, and inserted a rear amount of work to get the “non -guilty” judgment. Although this combination of good intentions and deeply false -informed tactics is comparatively small, the kind of things corresponds to Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in films such as “Avengers: Age of Ultron” … and with Tony Gone, Daredevil now the pole position on the race for the “most moral moral” -hero “propheche”.
