Netflix’sDaredevilseries was widely acclaimed for its gripping storyline and fantastic cast, but what sets it apart from other Marvel projects at the time was its love for violence.
Indeed, the show promised brutal action as well as gory fight scenes, and while fans may think the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen is gruesome enough, his comic book counterpart is way more wicked and evil.
Matt Murdock Mercilessly Attempts To Kill A Baby
Nerdak Comicsfrom YouTube gave a summary ofMatt Murdock’s most insane plot line in Marvel Comics. If he is portrayed in the show as reasonable, this comic book character is as ruthless as he can be.
“In one of Mysterio’s stranger schemes, he has relations with a woman and she becomes pregnant. After her child is born, she gives the baby to Daredevil believing he’s supposed to care for it.”

Based on the 1999 eight-issue comic book arc,Daredevil: Guardian Devilby Kevin Smith shockingly sees this 15-year-old girl claim she got impregnated without her doing the act. Murdock accepts and learns more about the child.
“Mysterio then disguises himself as a priest and drugs Matt to confuse him. While Matt is susceptible to Mysterio’s influence, the villain convinces Matt that the baby is the Antichrist and must be killed.”
At this point, Murdock has been contacted by a man called Nicholas Macabes, which isMysterio’s fake identity. He succumbs to his spell and does the most horrible thing a man can ever do in his life: murder a child.
“Bizarrely, this horrid plan works, and Matt throws the baby off a roof, but Black Widow rescues the child, and the two fight. Matt throws the baby a second time but comes to his senses in time to save the child. Eventually, Matt completely snaps out of Mysterio’s control as he takes the baby to the church to his mother.”

From this limited-run publication, fans can see the many sides of Daredevil that not even Netflix or any adaptation can ever translate onto the screen. Something as vile and evil as this can only be found in the pages of comic books.
The Brutality InDaredevil
While violence plays a significant part in theDaredevillore, it’s not always just pure brutality per se. In fact, comic book writer Chip Zdarsky revealed viaReddit’s AMAthat Matt Murdock has been reevaluating his habit of using forceful methods to accomplish his missions.
“From the beginning, it’s been about the repercussions of violence, both of a physical kind and institutional.”

There will be instances when he uses violence, and yet, there’s the lingering question of it being justified as a means to an end. Somehow this works as a formula for the series, and fans seem to love it so much that they want the upcoming show to be just as bloody as the original Netflix series.
But, since the upcomingDaredevilseries will be launched on Disney+, it will likely not be fully R-rated, as actorCharlie Coxshared viaNME.
