There’s something magical about seeing Frank Castle just name call Bullseye with no restraints in the middle of conversation with Matt Murdock. This is the kind of thing that makes this series being officially a part of the MCU continuity so good.

That, and breaking out the "it wasn't me, it was a shapeshifting alien doppelganger" defense for petty larceny

".....Nope."

u/punk62 19d ago

He delivered that so perfectly.

u/MusicalDeath9991 19d ago

To be fair, he delivers everything perfectly... but yes, that "nope" was extra beautiful.

u/wickedsmaht 19d ago

The chuckle when Matt said it was great.

u/Nvveen 19d ago

Fucking cracked me up, but it also felt like a snipe at Secret Invasion, but that might have just been me, lol.

u/dhawerd 18d ago

I had to pause the TV to get out the laughter at that casual "nope"

u/Worthyness Thor 19d ago

Proper integration into the MCU works so well.

u/RainbowTardigrade 19d ago

I loved that line. It was such a brief moment, but just hearing the word "Skrull" got a big smile out of me cus it makes total sense. I'm sure everybody in the MCU is using "it was a Skrull" as their excuse to get out of trouble.

u/ehsteve23 19d ago

In the MCU, Shaggy had a hit song “It was a Skrull”

29

u/aManPerson 19d ago

.........oh, thought he said squirrel.

that works better.

7

u/Darmok47 19d ago

Lol me too. I thought it was slang or joke I wasn't familiar with. He said Skrull?

3

u/Unicron_Gundam 19d ago

Yeah, he did.

u/bigfatcarp93 Hydra 19d ago

Happy cake day

u/nihilisticdaydreams Steve Rogers 19d ago

In the Astrro City comics a lawyer actually uses a bunch of possible supernatural/alien/super causes to get his mobster client off of murder charges

5

u/FeelTheFreeze 18d ago

The bad news is that that line officially cemented Secret Invasion as a part of the Sacred Timeline.

u/invaderark12 17d ago

Along with bringing up a mystical amulet in a courtroom.

Yes, they live in a world full of superheroes, aliens, and magic. Yet still remain grounded

u/Ill-Percentage7482 19d ago

Exactly and then that foggy scene

16

u/johnsciarrino 19d ago

Scenes like that are what’s missing from the movies in the MCU lately.

u/Sophophilic 19d ago

What does the MCU continuity have to do with Bullseye? We saw Bullseye in this show. 

27

u/__wasitacatisaw__ 19d ago

It’s more of MCU thing to refer to the villains by their alias. Name dropping the aliases wasn’t as common in the Netflix shows

37

u/cayoperico16 Matt Murdock 19d ago

I may be misremembering but it feels like in the Marvel Knights/Netflix Heroes/Defenders Saga, we didn’t hear namedrops too often like you would in the regular MCU or the comics. Like when they mentioned Jessica in the DD S3 finale that was kind of a rarity, or Frank only mentioning Matt/DD, 2-3 times throughout his whole 2 seasons of show.

So to hear him just say, youre okay with Bullseye breathing? is really refreshing and just all around kinda cool

u/TheTruckWashChannel 18d ago

I'm glad they didn't do that, it would've been too comic booky for those shows' grounded tone.

Even this show is way more grounded than I expected for Disney+, but the namedrops at least feel organic since the characters are known by their nicknames in the news.

8

u/Canvaverbalist 18d ago

We saw him, but he's never been referred to as "Bullseye" before this show.

1

u/Sophophilic 18d ago

Ah, true! 

6

u/bigbangbilly 19d ago

I mean even with 4k video evidence there's also the terrible things Purple Man caused people to do

7

u/tubular1450 19d ago

I don’t remember season 3 much, has he been called Bullseye in-universe before?

4

u/BatmanTold 19d ago

Not at all till now

13

u/Csantana Vulture 19d ago

did it feel like to anyone else this part might have been ADR'ed in? like they added it later?

either way I also felt that!

I like how we are getting that "grounded" classic Daredevil stuff but also Matt can mention the magical amulet White tiger had to a judge haha.

34

u/Capital_Gate6718 19d ago

I mean, Iron Fist and Kun Lun were also part of Matt's universe too

26

u/Michael_DeSanta 19d ago

And they fought underneath NYC inside the skeleton of an actual dragon in Defenders lol

2

u/thishenryjames 19d ago

Similarly, Matt Murdock casually mentioning a magical amulet as part of a legal argument.

u/Troghen 17d ago

I 100% misheard "Latvian" Heritage Day and thought they said "Latverian" and for a minute or two was thinking how crazy it is that the first mention of Latveria in the MCU (as far as I can remember, anyway) showed up in a random episode of Daredevil lol.
