Is it next year yet? I say that because, like most of you, I blazed through the first season of Daredevil, on Netflix, way too fast. After all is said and done, fans want more and while it's awesome that a second season is already coming our way next year, there's a lot of things that everyone is going to want to see.
We already talked about some of the best moments, but now let's discuss what we hope to see in this next season. We could pick any of the million things from Daredevil's world, but we're going to play it safe and just stick with things that have already been set up on the show.
Warning: There's going to be some spoilers for the first season here.
Main Characters' Relationships Deepen
As the first season came to a close, two relationships started to blossom on the show: Foggy & Karen and Matt & Claire. These relationships weren't on the forefront of the first season, but it was a nice backbone to the season which helped viewers get inside the head of these characters.
Instead of doing what we normally expect from television shows now-a-days, which is killing someone off (not Karen please, see below), why not build the relationships between these characters a little bit more? Sure, put them through their trials and tribulations, but this is something the audience needs to see in order to have a full, complete show that's more than a guy in a mask, running around, hitting people with sticks.
Bullseye
This one is a no brainer, right? Bullseye is easily Daredevil's top villain. In the comics, he can turn almost anything into a deadly weapon and he has almost super-human aim. In fact, he's even bitten off his own finger nails and spit them at people in order to kill them. Yeah, that's pretty dang nuts.
Putting Bullseye onto the show would not be hard. All you have to do is have Kingpin hire him to get revenge on Daredevil. Why should he be on this show? Well, the first season really dealt with Murdock trying to right the wrongs in Hell's Kitchen. Interjecting a little chaos, and someone going really working on making Murdock's life chaotic could be a really interesting twist. Also, who doesn't want to see Bullseye?
Karen Page Lives on
Don't do it. Don't think about it. Don't even try to kill Karen Page. In the world of comic books, Karen Page was Matt Murdock's first love. The comic book version also had a lot of problems, like drug addiction and sell Matt's secret identity away. She eventually died at the hands of Bullseye. The comic book version of Karen Page was many times nothing more than a plot device for Matt Murdock to get motivated. She's a woman in a refrigerator.
The television version of the character is 1,000 times more compelling. She is someone the audience will grow to care about, especially when she and Foggy jump (pun intended) into a relationship with each other. She's that third piece of the Nelson/Mudock/Page team, so seeing her die would ultimately suck, especially since Deborah Ann Woll has been doing such a great job in the role.
The Owl
You're thinking "Leland Owlsly is dead! There is no Owl!" Just wait right there. Throughout the season, Leland did mention that he had a son named "Lee." Now, with Owlsly dead, at the Kingpin's hand, maybe his son will come after him?
There's lots of variations on this character, and sometimes, The Owl gets a little cartoonish. Chris Samnee's interpretation of the character, pictured above, is more like what would work a little bit better for this series. He doesn't have to fly because of his serum and you don't need any real powers for him. What makes The Owl interesting is his role in the power struggle to gain control of Hell's Kitchen. He's not a top dog, but he is a key player.
That Guy Stick was Talking to Explained
So who was that guy at the end of the Stick episode? According to the show credits, it's Stone. So who the heck is Stone? Well, he's one of Stick's pupils. He is part of The Chaste and second in command of that ninja group. In the comics, he helped trained both Daredevil and Elektra.
Here's the thing. It's almost like Stick is reporting to Stone, like Stone is the man in charge. We only see Stone once, from the back, for a brief second, but the whole Stick episode sets up something larger that we never get back to, which is fine because it's such a brief moment, but it really makes us wonder what role The Chaste will play in season two of the show.
Turk and Melvin Get Their Own Costumes
It's established at the end of season one that Melvin Potter makes some pretty sweet suits, including Daredevil's outfit. We also get to see designs for Gladiator and Stiltman. Melvin seems to be a character who is a bit bullied, so at some point, he's going to have to step up on his own, right? As for Turk, well he's a middleman looking to move up, and the best way to move up is to get a costume, right?
I'm hoping we skip the whole "Turk as Stiltman" piece and go right to Mauler. Then, have Mauler and Gladiator work together. I may be asking for too much, but I think these are the two perfect characters to have as secondary villains, even ones that can be easily defeated. Plus, they've both already been introduced into the show.
Those are somethings we would love to see in season two of this show, but we want to know what you think. Let us know in the comment section what you want out of season two of Daredevil.
