Daredevil’s Shocking Premiere Death: A Heartbreaking Moment Marvel Must Embrace More!

by

At long last, “Daredevil: Born Again” managed to secure a spot on the 2025 television premier calendar, debuting its initial two episodes on March 4. From this day forth, our lives have been irrevocably changed.

For years, we’ve eagerly anticipated the return of this series. With the revelation of “Daredevil: Born Again” and the news that Matt Murdock would have a larger role in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe following his appearance in “No Way Home”, excitement built up among fans. However, I don’t think anyone could have completely predicted the shocking events unfolded in the initial episode.

It seems clear, if you haven’t yet seen it, perhaps you should take a moment to watch the first episode. But if you have, let’s delve into an intriguing detail about a major character’s death that I believe Marvel could further explore. Let’s dive right in.

Foggy’s Death Is Already A Majorly Shocking TV Moment For Anyone Watching

Indeed, contemplating this topic leaves me with a sense of weightiness. While I may not have been a fan as long as some others, my appreciation for Daredevil has grown steadily over the past few years. My father and I would often discuss it in our mutual pursuit of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) content, from bonding over Miles Morales to eagerly watching Sam Wilson assume the Captain America mantle.

One individual we held dear was Foggy. He was an exceptional ally to Matt and truly helped balance him out, and watching him get fatally wounded in the opening episode and pass away so swiftly and mournfully… left a profound impact on me. I’m certain it had an equally deep effect on just about everyone else.

Wow, this scene is undoubtedly going to be added to the list of most jaw-dropping television moments! I must admit, it was so unexpected that I had to blink a few times to make sure I wasn’t imagining things. However, what really makes Foggy’s death stand out is one particular element that truly brought it to life.

But Matt Hearing Foggy’s Heartbeat Was Even More Soul-Crushing

As a dedicated movie critic, I must admit, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has seen its fair share of tragic moments over the past couple of years. However, the demise of Foggy Nelson struck a particularly poignant chord. The haunting echo of his heartbeat served as a poignant reminder of the humanity that these superheroes embody, even in their darkest hours.

As a film enthusiast, I can tell you that witnessing Karen weep for Foggy feels as poignant as it would for anyone. You’re fighting to save your friend, only to watch life ebb from his eyes. It’s enough to make anyone howl in despair and deliver an outstanding acting performance. Yet, the sound of Matt discovering Foggy’s heartbeat strikes a chord that transcends mere tears.

Due to Matt’s blindness, his other senses are remarkably heightened, allowing him to hear even the faintest sounds clearly from a reasonable proximity. His combat skills and ability to detect Foggy’s heartbeat gradually soften into subtle rhythmic patterns until there’s only silence.

That’s incredibly heart-wrenching. In an instant, it felt as though someone had torn out my heart, squeezed it tightly, stomped on it mercilessly over the place where Foggy fell, and then spat upon it. It left me stunned, forcing me to close my laptop for several minutes as I grappled with the intense sorrow that swept through me like a storm.

Watching your friend gradually fade away, and you can distinctly hear it, leaves you helpless, as there’s absolutely nothing to be done. It’s simply unbearable.

That Kind Of Subtle Grief Is Something Marvel Should Do Way More Of

Independent of the sorrow this passing brings, it presents an opportunity for Marvel to explore new narratives – not to enhance the creativity of their demises, but rather to delve deeper into how these superheroes respond in such situations.

In Phases 5 and 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are plenty of exciting developments on the horizon, with Daredevil playing a significant role. However, it’s not just him who might have dramatic wardrobe malfunctions – other heroes could also experience such moments creatively. After all, we have an abundance of superheroes in the MCU. It’s not necessary for every hero to succumb to emotional breakdowns due to their lost clothing (my apologies, Scarlet Witch).

A prime illustration of this concept can be found in the show “Agatha All Along“, where Billy temporarily inhabits William’s body. As we watch, Billy’s heartbeat gradually diminishes, and a soul transfer occurs. This is imaginative as it allows us to perceive the sorrow on Billy’s face that mirrors William’s grief, yet there are numerous deeper layers beneath this emotion, making it all the more captivating. Unfortunately, the story could have been richer if “Agatha All Along” hadn’t concluded after only one season, but oh well.

I must admit, I can’t help but feel deeply enthusiastic about the MCU. It could be just my personal perspective, but moments like these really get me pumped up. The passion and creativity that seem to underlie these frequent occurrences are nothing short of amazing, and I can’t help but yearn for more.

Over the next few months, I’ll be eagerly anticipating the release of new episodes for “Daredevil: Born Again” weekly. However, Marvel, I kindly ask for you to spare us any more heart-wrenching deaths that leave me utterly devastated. I humbly plead.
