Why 'Daredevil' Season 2 Is Worth A Watch

The devil of Hell's Kitchen has come off of its season hiatus with new characters and conflicts and I loved every second of it. Having just finished watching the second reason of "Daredevil" I want to talk about what made the second season so great in my eyes. From the new characters to the old, this season is definitely worth the watch.


1. The Punisher

When it was first announced that the Punisher was going to be in "Daredevil" and then get his own spin-off television show on Netflix, I was a little worried as to how they would portray Frank Castle. Would he be portrayed as a killer with no reason for doing so, and would viewers have to wait for his show to come out to give him more depth and character development? Well, I am glad to say I was wrong. In my opinion, Frank was the best part of "Daredevil" season 2. He provided an interesting dynamic for Matt aka Daredevil by being not only the exact opposite for everything Matt stands for in the law, but also a mirror into the future of what Matt could become. Not to mention the ending where he takes a can of spray paint to that bullet proof vest and draws on his Punisher symbol got me so excited for the Punisher series.


2. Elektra

Elektra was another character who I was worried about. Having known of Elektra from reading some of the comics I was worried about the way they were going to portray her. The "Daredevil" movie and later the "Elektra" movie both portrayed her as a try-hard based around the trope of the strong independent woman. I was so happy with the way Elodie Yung played her character. She is still tough but not a stereotype of what it means to be a strong female character. She was flirty, tough, and just a little crazy and I love it. With her entry into the series, I was worried how the writers would play her as Matt's love interest especially with Karen around. To my happy surprise, they didn't play up the love triangle and Matt actually did make choices involving his relationship with Elektra.


3. Foggy and Karen

I've always liked Foggy from season one, but I would be lying if I didn't say that at times his and Karen's presence in the show during season one felt unneeded at times. Karen did have some interesting plot lines in season one, but it kind of dropped toward the end. Season two gave them much bigger story lines and even character development. I'm interested to see how his new job is going to work out for him and I wonder how they're going to fit in Karen now that she's a reporter.


4. Daredevil

I was happy that Matt's moral choices was a big part of the second season. I enjoyed seeing how he would react to the Punisher and Elektra. It frustrated me to see him mess up his social and work life but I was glad that they showed it. Many superhero-centered books, or cartoons show heroes not being able to mange their life only once or every so often. For Matt it was a slow progression until his work as the Daredevil completely over shadowed his work as a lawyer. It felt more satisfying to see him make up with Foggy and Karen in this season because he had taken his relationships with them through the ringer.

Marvel has been doing a lot lately with their characters. I'm excited to see how Marvel will handle Daredevil's next season. If they keep this up I'm sure it will be great.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
