Perhaps it sounds superfluous, maybe even presumptuous, to suggest such a thing.
Despite Daredevils growth and character development over the years, Marvel consistently brings him backward.
Each sin appears as a familiar,possessed face that Daredevil must exorcise.
The key word here is"learn,“but we’ll get to that in a moment.
He embodies a bit of every sin, which is the central theme of the arc.
He may have spentthe last few years as a priest, but Matt Murdock was never a saint.
That said, to say he is defined by his wrath is a fallacy.
That commitment doesnt come from rage; it comes from a sense of justice.
Its not Daredevils radar sense or his amazing fighting skills that makes him unique.
What makes Matt Murdock stand out is far more tragic.
Matts journey to Hell, where he sacrifices himself to save his friends, logically concluded his story.
He finally came to terms with his place with God, resolving his recurring Catholic guilt.
If Marvel cant remember that growth, theyre stunting the very development that should be propellingDaredevilforward.
