Call me old fashioned, but I think the president saying "a whole civilization will die tonight" is the part where he should be deposed immediately.

matt murdock in daredevil: born again season 2

[kylokissed]

With the Daredevil: Born Again season 2 trailer dropping and *certain moments* hitting a little too close to home, I can’t stop thinking about how painfully relevant this show is right now. The imagery, the language, the power dynamics—it all mirrors what’s happening in the real world, especially with the kind of authoritarian rhetoric we’ve been drowning in for a year now.

And this is exactly why it matters that movies and TV—especially superhero stories—don’t pretend to exist in a vacuum.

Superheroes have always been political. Always. Dressing them up as “apolitical” is just a way to make people comfortable, to sand down the sharp edges so no one has to think too hard about who gets hurt and who gets protected. Daredevil has never been about that comfort. It’s about state violence, corrupt institutions, and what happens when the law stops being about justice and starts being about control.

Watching a superhero grapple with systems that look an awful lot like the ones harming real people right now is not “too much” or “preachy.” It’s necessary. Art is supposed to reflect the world we’re living in, not distract us from it while everything burns. When a show like Daredevil puts its finger directly on the pulse of fascistic power, militarized policing, and the moral rot hiding behind badges and bureaucratic language, it forces viewers to sit with uncomfortable truths. And honestly? We need that discomfort.

Superheroes shouldn’t just be power fantasies. They should be moral confrontations. They should ask who the law serves, who it destroys, and what responsibility we have when injustice is happening right in front of us. Right now, with families being torn apart, with cruelty being rebranded as policy, with history repeating itself louder and uglier, stories that dare to say something matter more than ever.

So yeah. Let superheroes be political. Let them be angry. Let them be inconvenient. Because silence has never been neutral—and pretending otherwise only helps the people already holding the most power.
