WE ARE FINALLY GETTING THE DOUBLE D EMBLEM AND ITS ON THE BLACK SUIT
in the past few weeks, matthew murdock has:
tried to murder bullseye, which goes against his moral code as a catholic vigilante
had deep doubts about his purpose since foggy's death
been unable to even say foggy nelson's name because it hurts too much
been shown cooking food both in the dark and with the lights on
listened in on a catholic mass from outside the church because he does not feel worthy to enter under that roof
worn his cross necklace in every episode
comforted a grieving child
listened to vinyl records
unlocked a bank vault by listening to the clicks
done a pretty convincing irish accent to buy hostages time
muttered "fuck" under his breath
worn henleys
screamed in frank castle's face about bullseye getting life in prison as if that were enough punishment for murdering his best friend... but it isn't enough for matt and everyone (including him) knows it
prayed to God through the intercession of saint ives, patron saint of lawyers and abandoned children
used foggy nelson's funeral card as a saint's card while praying, and kissed it reverently
flirted with sofija about showing her his heightened senses
said "through Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with You [God] in the unity with the Holy Spirit, Amen"
gotten up in powell's face with this shit eating, teasing grin on his face
uttered phrases such as "c'mere", "shh/shush", "i'm here, it's okay", "can you do that?", and "i know, i know"
pulled the "are you talking to me? i'm visually impaired" schtick not once but twice
i am thoroughly convinced that they did all of this for me specifically.
Alright, I'm ready to make my Official Foggy Nelson storyline prediction for Born Again.
Tl;dr: he lives but it's complicated.
Things we know that are important to my prediction:
With the above, here's my prediction.
Foggy will live, but in order to save time on rewrites, they needed a way to explain why he wasn't there for most of season 1. They're going to do this by using most of his death scene footage, along with what I'm sure is all the agonizing, heartbreaking footage already filmed of Matt thinking his best friend has been killed.
So if Foggy's not dead, where is he?
I see one of two options.
Option A: in the comics at one point, Foggy's death is faked and he enters the Witness Protection Program. If they go this way, I think Foggy will be hurt so badly that Matt will think Foggy's dead. Only for Foggy to pop up at the end of Season 1 for a return in Season 2.
Option B: in true comic book fashion, Foggy's in a coma after almost being killed. Like option A, this allows them to use some of the footage already shot, and explains why Foggy isn't around. I think if they go this way, Matt will know Foggy's alive, and we'll get a few bedside scenes (which can conveniently be filmed all in one quick go) but Matt's guilt will mostly keep him from visiting too often. Depending on the timeline, we may even find out towards the end that Foggy's actually already woken up and gone through rehab, but Matt's guilt and shame has kept him away.
Hell, it might wind up a combo of the two.
Both of these options would have saved them from having to rewrite even more of S1 than they already were. It gives Matt his inciting incident to stop being Daredevil for a bit. It provides angst. But most of all, it keeps Foggy alive for a big turnaround.
So that's my prediction. We'll find out in March.
this is what I’m choosing to believe
