Daredevil: Born Again Divides Fans with Episode 7

The recent episode of 'Daredevil: Born Again', titled 'Art for Art's Sake', has sparked intense reactions due to its brutal portrayal and surprising plot developments. The episode revealed Bastian Cooper as the villain Muse, a terrifying serial killer artist, but he was quickly dispatched by Dr. Heather Glenn in a shocking act of self-defense. This abrupt end to Muse, who was built up as a significant threat, has led to mixed responses, with some viewers lamenting the missed potential of his character had the show adhered more closely to the comics. The episode also highlighted the ongoing conflict with Mayor Fisk's anti-vigilante task force, which capitalizes on Muse's death to discredit vigilantes like Daredevil. Despite the darker tone and graphic violence, some fans are embracing the show's deviation from typical MCU fare.
