Only Matt Murdock is allowed to mansplain being a superhero to Jennifer Walters.
Hes the one person who can get away with it.
I dont make the rules!
Luke is offended, but also well defended.
In comes his lawyer Matt Murdock, also known (but only to some) as Daredevil.
Matt refutes this on the grounds that it would mean revealing the secret identities of multiple superheroes.
Murdocks legal prowess is not, however, what wins him the case.
His super-sensitive nose picks up the smell of jet fuel on Leap-Frogs suit.
They determine that Eugene failed to read the suits instructions and thats why it caught fire.
Jen goes for a drink at Legal Ease, where Matt shows up and buys her an appletini.
They get along well.Surprisinglywell, some might say.
Murdocks Daredevil comes from a more grounded and serious superhero world than the oneShe-Hulkoffers us.
His show was more or less devoid of levity, and the humor was much drier.
All this spooked fans of the dark and gritty former Netflix series.
(Also, hello,The Avengers?)
CouldShe-Hulk:Attorney at Lawget Daredevil right?
Heres what they forgot: Matt Murdock is ahugeflirt.
He has at least three love interests on his show.
He bats his eyes at women to get information, including Vanessa, the Kingpins then-future-wife.
Self-deprecating jokes about blindness and laughing quietly to himself are two of his superpowers.
He can appreciate both sides of her.
Unfortunately, their tete-a-tete is put on hold when they both get work calls.
If hes not the Big Bad, hes for sure Big Badadjacent, right?
He also calls her babe.
No, thank you!
She-Hulk storms out and goes home.
Her corporate job really is soul-sucking.
Only the guy attacking Leap-Frog is …
Daredevil, and the reason is that Leap-Frog went villain era and kidnapped Luke Jacobson.
Welcome to the inner circle, Jen.
He wanted her to do vigilante shit but, like, not rightnowand whilehesdoing the heroics.
Neither is wrong, they just have different approaches.
you could take the Daredevil out of Hells Kitchen, etc.
Leap-Frog is arrested, Luke is rescued, and Jens gala dress is back on.
On the roof, Jen resumes flirting with Matt.
Hes leaving for New York the next day but offers to take her out next time hes in town.
In the morning, Matt does a walk of shame in his Daredevil suit agreatsight gag.
Tip of the hat to whoever suggested he carry his shoes.
(Its also far from the worst morning the Man Without Fear ever had.
He can rock the suburbs if he wants.)
Despite the A-storys satisfying conclusion, wink, wink, the episodes not over.
Jens fourth-wall senses tingle, and she muses to the audience.
Why is the show introducing a set piece late in the game?
There must be a big twist coming.
Dont joke about that, Jennifer!
Its hard out there for women in the MCU right now.
She takes the stage along with Miss Mallory Book and the other women.
She-Hulk does not deserve your attention, say the guys projecting She-Hulks personal information onto a giant screen.
They falsely claim that she stole powers from the Hulk and call her a slut (derogatory).
Jen sees red, both metaphorically and literally, as she smashes the screen and emergency lights pop on.
The rage she thought she could handle bubbles over.
Was the Intelligencias plan to make her look unstable?
What were they doing with her blood?
Who is their leader, the Hulk King?
Well find out in the finale.
Legal Pad
Matt Murdock mentioned that the Sokovia Accords were repealed.
Hello, future MCU plot equipment!
Ofcoursethat hacky musical has a national tour already.
Tag yourself: Im Nikki putting makeup brushes between her fingers like Wolverine.
I am not Matt negging Jen about math.
I am also not Broadways Renee Elise Goldsberry and Josh Segarra getting under five lines in the episodeagain.
Shout out to John PaesanosDaredeviltheme that creeps into the score when Jen asks Matt if hes a superhero.
