“This pisses me off”- ‘Daredevil’ Trailer Has Fans Fill With Rage for Mistreatment of This Beloved MCU Hero Before Him

Published 01/16/2025, 12:59 AM EST

The first trailer for Daredevil: Born Again has finally been released today, and fans are already losing it. Packed with adrenaline-pumping action, the trailer offered the best look yet at the highly anticipated series. As a continuation of Netflix’s Daredevil, this new installment will officially bring the Man Without Fear into the MCU fold. Naturally, fans are thrilled to see Daredevil back in action. But a few fans are disappointed— not by the upcoming show's trailer, but upon comparing it with a previous MCU show. 

It has been over two years since Marvel’s Moon Knight first graced Disney+ screens. Back then, Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum hyped the show with the promise of featuring some of the most intense and brutal action scenes ever seen in the MCU. Interestingly, he made similar promises about the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again. But while Moon Knight did not quite deliver on those expectations, it seems Marvel has gone all in to back up their claims for Daredevil: Born Again.

Many fans are now wondering why the MCU did not get the same level of love and effort for Moon Knight too. For many viewers, the action sequences in Moon Knight fell flat. The series had been promoted as a darker, more violent departure from the typical MCU style. However, it often pulled back from truly embracing its brutal potential. This was especially noticeable when it came to depicting the character’s darker alter-egos. Instead of leaning into raw, visceral fight choreography, the series opted for something more toned down.

Fans call for justice for Moon Knight after Daredevil: Born Again trailer

As soon as Moon Knight aired, the show became the center of heated debates. Many fans felt the series failed to deliver the kind of action that could make it stand out. One particular disappointment was in the pilot episode, where a potentially standout fight in the museum bathroom was cut short. For many viewers, it was a missed opportunity. Now, comparisons to Netflix's Daredevil: Born Again have only made Moon Knight’s action sequences feel even more lackluster in hindsight. "This pissed me off a little," a fan wrote. 

Fans are hoping that if a second season of Moon Knight happens, it will address these issues and make up for the underwhelming action.

There are no solid plans for a follow-up season of Moon Knight yet. However, director Mohamed Diab has hinted that the MCU hero could show up in other projects, potentially even in a feature film. But whether or not he will finally get the high-energy action that fans are craving remains to be seen.
