6. Daredevil Gets Everything Right
Okay, I don’t hate Ben Affleck’s movie as much as most but there is no denying that it is poles apart from Netflix and Marvel’s reimagining of the Man Without Fear. The first outing in the lead up to The Defenders had to be good and fortunately it really, really worked.
Not only did the serialised nature of the thirteen-episode season allow for a well-paced storytelling, it allowed for some great character development; from the legacy of Matt Murdock’s past (his father and Stick) but the show’s villain too. Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk quickly became one of the greatest villains in Marvel Cinematic Universe and his relationship with Vanessa was as captivating as Murdock’s transition from vigilante to hero.
Add in such epic moments as that hallway fight in episode two, the ‘car door’ incident that showed just how terrifying Kingpin could be and a dramatic finale episode and Daredevil proved that it was not only a great TV show, it was one of the best things in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe – Forget The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, this was Marvel’s triumph in 2015
