00:00I will admit, it's not entirely unpleasant seeing you again.
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for everything you need to
00:10remember before tuning in to Daredevil Born Again.
00:14Since we'll be discussing major plot points, beware of spoilers.
00:18By the look of it, you've come up in the world.
00:22Number 10.
00:23Matt Murdock in the Netflix series.
00:25Matt Murdock is a blind lawyer with superhuman abilities who fights crime as a masked vigilante
00:29by night.
00:36He gained his powers after an industrial accident in his youth gave him enhanced senses.
00:40When we first meet him, his law firm, with partner Foggy Nelson, is struggling financially.
00:45Together, along with Karen Page, they uncover corruption and criminal activity in Hell's
00:49Kitchen headed by Wilson Fisk.
00:52I realized that the city was a part of me, that it was in my blood.
00:59And I would do anything to make it a better place for people like you.
01:04The two throw down, with Daredevil coming out on top and Fisk is arrested.
01:08Murdock then comes into contact with The Hand and Electronachios.
01:12After defeating The Hand and putting Fisk back in prison, Murdock, Nelson, and Page
01:16look to repair their relationship.
01:18So what do you think?
01:22Why the hell not?
01:25To Nelson, Murdock, and Page.
01:28Page, Murdock, and Nelson.
01:30Hang on a minute.
01:31That actually has a nice ring to it.
01:33Number 9.
01:34The Blip.
01:35Thanos set out on a quest to acquire the Infinity Stones in order to wipe out half of life in
01:39the universe.
01:40With all six stones, I could simply snap my fingers, they would all cease to exist, and
01:45I call that mercy.
01:51And then what?
01:53I finally rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe.
01:58The Avengers put up a valiant effort to stop him, but ultimately were unsuccessful.
02:03With the snap of his fingers, many of our heroes, among many others, literally turned
02:08to dust.
02:09Up, Deuteran.
02:10Up.
02:11This is no place to die.
02:17The remaining survivors were able to come up with a plan and undo what Thanos did and
02:21restore everyone back to life.
02:23During this five-year gap, it's not entirely clear which characters from Daredevil were
02:27blipped as the show was canceled before the effect of Infinity War could be shown with
02:31the series.
02:32How long are you gonna stick around?
02:35Actually I was thinking about moving back into my apartment.
02:38Really?
02:39Number 8.
02:40The Defenders Defeat The Hand.
02:42The Defenders miniseries was like a low-rent version of the Avengers coming together in
02:46their titular film.
02:47I can't believe I'm saying this, but let's go do something crazy.
02:54It combined the main heroes of the Marvel Netflix shows as they worked to defeat the
02:57criminal organization The Hand.
02:59The Hand requires the substance, which is a regenerative elixir that comes from the
03:04bones of dragons.
03:05You guys need to get to the surface.
03:07No complaints here.
03:08What about you?
03:09No, I'm gonna meet you up there.
03:10What?
03:11I know I can get through to her.
03:13There's a deposit underneath New York, and to prevent the destruction of the city, Jessica
03:17Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Daredevil managed to save the day.
03:22Murdoch was thought to have died during the final battle with Elektra, but he survived,
03:26so it's possible Elektra has as well.
03:29Get Maggie.
03:30Tell her he's awake.
03:37Number 7.
03:38Frank Castle Is Here To Punish.
03:40Castle first appeared in the second season of Daredevil as a vigilante known as The Punisher,
03:45who is dedicated to eradicating all crime after his family is killed.
03:49Do I know you?
03:50I need NYPD mobile communications rig, one that gets encrypted tactical frequencies.
03:55What do I look like, Radio Shack?
03:58Anyway, dealing in this shit is illegal.
04:01This naturally brings him into contact with Daredevil, as both men are on similar missions
04:06but act through very different means.
04:08Castle is eventually arrested and put on trial, and ends up in prison.
04:12After this, you and me, we're done.
04:13Yes, we're done.
04:14The shiv is the best I can offer.
04:26Something tells me you'll make do.
04:28He's freed by Fisk, and eventually tries to leave his Punisher life behind, posing as
04:33Peter Castiglione.
04:34He's brought back to being the Punisher, and despite other attempts to move on, we last
04:38see him fully embracing the Punisher identity.
04:51Jessica Walters isn't your average MCU hero.
04:54Her alter ego is She-Hulk, who, like Deadpool, can break the fourth wall.
04:57I do believe you are owed compensatory damages.
05:01Yeah!
05:02Woo!
05:03What is the name of the manufacturer?
05:06Luke Jacobson.
05:07He specializes in super suits.
05:09Oh, shit.
05:10She's a lawyer by day, and takes on a case to represent Eugene Petilio, who wishes to
05:14sue Luke Jacobson for making him a faulty super suit.
05:18Jacobson ends up being represented by none other than Matt Murdock.
05:21I'm here.
05:23Apologies for the tardiness, your honor.
05:26I had trouble finding parking.
05:28I'm just kidding.
05:30My driver got lost.
05:32My name is Matthew Murdock.
05:33I'll be representing Mr. Jacobson in this case.
05:36Murdock ends up winning the case by demonstrating that Petilio disregarded Jacobson's instructions
05:40on how to use the suit.
05:42Later, She-Hulk and Daredevil team up to take down Leapfrog, the vigilante persona of Petilio,
05:47after he kidnaps Jacobson.
05:49Afterwards, the pair catch up on case law, if you get our drift.
05:53Hey, maybe next time I'm in town I can take you out to dinner.
05:56Yeah, or maybe we can skip all of that and just...
06:00Number 5.
06:01Benjamin Poindexter has his back broken.
06:03Nelson Fisk manages to make a deal with the FBI that sees him under house arrest at the
06:07presidential hotel.
06:08Your lawyer almost screwed up the whole deal.
06:11Those terms guarantee my safety.
06:14Beyoncé has fewer demands.
06:16While being transported there, Fisk is attacked by the Albanian syndicate, but FBI agent Benjamin
06:21Poindexter is able to save him.
06:23Following Fisk, Fisk is able to manipulate him into becoming his personal assassin.
06:27He was even tasked with posing as Daredevil in order to ruin the hero's public reputation.
06:32Who are you?
06:35I'm Daredevil.
06:39Eventually, the real Daredevil is able to convince Poindexter of Fisk's manipulations,
06:44causing him to turn against Fisk.
06:46During a fight with Fisk, his back is broken and he's left with paralysis.
06:50However, he undergoes surgery to repair his spine.
06:54The patient knew the risks.
06:56We continue.
06:58Number 4.
06:59Maya Lopez shoots Wilson Fisk.
07:01In the Hawkeye miniseries, we're introduced to a deaf Choctaw and leader of the tracksuit
07:06mafia Maya Lopez.
07:07We have them both.
07:12We have them.
07:20She is on a mission of revenge, as she believes Ronan, one of Clint Barton's vigilante personas,
07:25is responsible for the death of her father.
07:27How do you know?
07:30Because he's dead.
07:33So who got him then?
07:42So Ronan is dead, and the person who killed him is dead.
07:45That's convenient.
07:46How do you know this?
07:47During her pursuit of Barton, the two come face to face, and while Barton did in fact
07:52kill her father, he informs her that his actions were at the behest of her boss, Wilson Fisk,
07:57who wanted to get rid of her father.
07:59This leads to a showdown with Fisk and her shooting him for his betrayal.
08:03You and I were family.
08:08Family.
08:11Sometimes family doesn't see eye to eye.
08:15Number 3.
08:16Matt Murdock represents Peter Parker.
08:18Peter Parker was wrongfully blamed for the death of Mysterio.
08:21You murdered Mysterio?
08:23You helped him murder Mysterio?
08:25No, I didn't.
08:26Come on.
08:27During their final confrontation, Mysterio was able to make it look like Spider-Man
08:31was responsible for his murder and reveal Spider-Man's identity to the world.
08:35Naturally, this puts a lot of pressure on Parker, and he's soon interrogated
08:39by the Department of Damage Control.
08:42I didn't kill Quentin Beck, the drones did, okay?
08:45The drones that are yours.
08:46No, well, look, Nick Fury was there the entire time.
08:49Just ask him and he can explain everything.
08:51Nick Fury has been off planet for the last year.
08:53What?
08:54Things aren't looking good, but thankfully he's got great legal representation
08:58with Matt Murdock as his counsel.
09:00He's able to get the charges against Peter dropped,
09:02but warned that Peter may still face challenges due to public scrutiny
09:05of him being Spider-Man.
09:07Peter, you may have dodged your legal troubles, but things will get much worse.
09:10There is still a court of public opinion.
09:20How did you just do that?
09:22I'm a really good lawyer.
09:28After shooting Fisk at the end of Hawkeye,
09:30Lopez goes on the run, but soon is reunited with Fisk
09:33as he wants her to be part of his criminal empire.
09:36I have a proposition.
09:41You want an empire.
09:44You'll have it.
09:48You can have everything.
09:52All you have to do is come home with me.
09:55After contemplating Fisk's offer, she resolves again to kill him.
09:59Upon meeting, he reveals that he had killed his own father
10:02due to violence directed at his mother.
10:18I killed him to be free.
10:22Later, while rescuing her family from Fisk,
10:24the two have another showdown.
10:26This time, however, Maya uses her powers to try and heal Fisk's past trauma
10:30by getting him to let go of his anger.
10:32He couldn't let go, but the experience may have changed him.

11:02Wilson Fisk is one of the big power players of crime in New York.
11:06Nothing changes until I'm ready to move on Vladimir.
11:09And what if he finds out the truth before that happens?
11:15That would be unfortunate for all of us.
11:17After he comes into contact with Daredevil,
11:19the two enter a final showdown resulting in Fisk's defeat.
11:23He ends up in prison, but that doesn't mean he's given up his criminal ways.
11:26He comes up with a plan to clear his name
11:28in order to reunite with his eventual wife, Vanessa.
11:32Hello, Wilson.
11:33However, he's once again defeated by Daredevil and returns to prison.
11:37It's likely he survived the blip
11:39and was once again freed and resumed his criminal activities.
11:43After encounters with Hawkeye and Echo,
11:45Fisk becomes inspired to run for mayor.
11:48A bare-knuckled brawler would do well in this race.
11:51An outsider.
11:52Somebody who is not afraid to take on the establishment.
11:55But wouldn't that candidate have emerged by now?
11:57That's the question.
11:58What are you looking forward to most in Daredevil Born Again?
12:01Let us know in the comments.
12:03Sometimes, peace needs to be broken.
12:07And chaos must reign.
