daredevil is back for another season and
as always it's riddled with Easter eggs
and references related to the comics the
wider Marvel Cinematic Universe a whole
lot of characters both obscure and
prominent and all of the various Netflix
series is so let's get into it
bearing in mind spoilers all the
spoilers and also if I don't touch on
something here you might find it in my
daredevil season 1 or jessica jones
easter egg videos i mean maybe i barely
remember making them let alone what's in
them okay let's go kicking things off
with characters that appear in the
comics so many right out of the gate we
get Baldor written on the side of a
truck which could be a reference to the
half-brother of thor of the same name as
well as short-lived Irish gang leader
Nesbitt Grotto a low-level gang member
and a dead biker by the name of Smitty
who foggy goes looking for he also
references that he helped a man named
foster which could be a nod to Jane
Foster maybe even Bill Foster who plays
a prominent role in the Civil War comic
by being shot through the chest by a
clone of Thor we write on his death
certificate uh complicated just comic
[ __ ] one of the alternate names said for
the Punisher is killdozer a very minor
Marvel character melvin potter's
gladiator shenanigans are referenced
multiple times including his disk blades
his emblem as well as blueprints through
spinal costume we also see what looks
like Maggie Murdock Matt Murdock's
mother who winds up as a nun who tends
to him after the accident that leaves
him blind
Blake tower is seen a man who eventually
runs her da Vinci Lee shows up only to
get shot in the face somewhat resembling
his comic counterpart but more you know
shot in the face and dead the Punishers
dog max makes a cameo as does Rosco
Sweeney the fixer the man who murdered
Daredevils father mr. Hiroshi shows up
as a prominent leader of the hand as
does Colonel Rey shown over Frank
castles commanding officer who also
turns out to be part of the criminal
underworld as he's the blacksmith in the
comics the blacksmith is an alien Skrull
who bears zero resemblance to him and
has sweet FA of his character traits
lawyer Benjamin Donovan is seen looking
significantly smaller than his
terrifyingly large comic counterpart and
we also get a hint at micro the
Punishers go-to guy for weapons and tech
numerous general nods
to marvel comic's are also made Nelson
and Murdock often get paid in food The
Punisher shoots daredevil daredevil
loses his hearing with his senses going
haywire which isn't an uncommon
occurrence for him and he's also tied up
by the Punisher given a gun and an
impossible ultimatum like in the comic
the choice even with some of the same
dialogue lifted straight from it Frank
Castle also meets a Vietnam vet possibly
a nod to his original origin as this is
where he first served
daredevil uses a chain whip in the
hallway stair fight much like Ghost
Rider does we also see more of stilt
man's costume and the Punisher displaces
reluctance to take medication which is
the same in the comics as he feels it
slows down his reflexes and does his
sensors a lecture on Matt Murdock take a
spin in a fancy red sports car the
Midtown Tunnel project is mentioned
which is the same place where Spiderman
once fought a giant flying shark I don't
know why but that is a thing that
happened
Karen Paige's mysterious and dark past
is also hinted that there might be
something we get to see next season we
also get the People vs Frank Castle it's
similar story arc to what we once got a
classic Punisher kingpin fight Plus
Daredevils traditional billy club is
seen complete with grappling hook so
great as was the Punishers trademark
skull stick also at one point says he's
heading back to the wall which is where
the chase headquarters are located and a
lecturer is killed in a very similar way
except in that it's bullseye you
probably also remember that from that
movie with Ben Affleck whenever unheeded
Ben Affleck she also ends up getting her
traditional weapons and even a variation
on her classic costume but after she's
dead well you know dead for now like in
the comics it's unlikely that we won't
see her again many hints at the wider
Marvel Cinematic Universe also like the
dogs of Hell as seen in agents of shield
as well as multiple references towards
the Avengers including Karen page
stating at the end of the series that
heroes aren't in the sky above us or
gods the newspaper service being knocked
out in the incident which could refer to
any number of things possibly Ultron or
the Chitauri invasion plus even an
article on when the Hulk wrecked Harlem
in his movie where Mark Ruffalo looked a
lot like Edward Norton Roxxon is
mentioned an evil organization that
shows up everywhere including agent
Carter as well as its subsidiary a sign
of electronics and cyber tech the
company in charge of the deathlok
program
Claire the night nurse or
alludes to the time she helped a Luke
Cage in Jessica Jones we get a Jessica
Jones name drop by fogies ex-girlfriend
and both da Samantha raised and Hogarth
both from that series show up we also
see a member of the hand lose a hand
which has been a common easter egg in
the marvel face two films all right just
a few more the boat that explodes has
the number two to seven on the side the
same number as the famous Frank Miller
story arc born again plus stick this is
spotters a guy just like in 300 which
was also written by Frank Miller the
word warzone is mentioned multiple times
potentially a nod to the Punisher war
zone movie and of course we get a
superhero landing hooray superhero
landing yeah that's really hard on your
knees
