The first episode of Daredevil: Born Again controversially kills off Foggy Nelson, shocking fans and undermining the show's established emotional dynamics. Although there were rumors about this, viewers were left reeling as Foggy is shot by Bullseye early in the episode. This act not only pushes Matt Murdock into a dark space, deviating from his no-kill code, but also sends Karen Page away, effectively dismantling the ensemble that fans loved. Critics argue that such choices harm the series' heart, despite the show'srunner insisting the importance of these characters.
As showrunner Dario Scardapane noted earlier this year, 'You can't do this show without Karen and Foggy. They're Matt's family. They're the heart of his world.' Yet, the first episode of Born Again kills off Foggy, undermining that very philosophy.
Killing Foggy in the opening scene and sending Karen away dilutes the ensemble dynamic that made the Netflix series successful, ultimately stripping the series of its emotional core.
