Daredevil – Shoot the Moon

Marginally advancing the season’s plot, “Shoot the Moon” feels mostly like a filler episode where we get to spend time with various characters and get to see a couple of sequences highlighting our hero’s new costume while also showing us that Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) has learned a few things from her boyfriend. The Northern Star is still pivotal to the plans of both heroes and villains, but no real movement is made. Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) is confirmed to be the man who saved Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) but the reasons for his actions, and later attack on the anti-vigilante squad, aren’t explored.

“You suck Joe Pantoliano.”

In a show that continues to be more about acting than super-heroes, Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley) continues to get close to Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) while on the lookout for any dangerous powers. We get Trevor helping Simon with an audition tape, leading to a fun cameo from Joe Pantoliano, and tagging along to the birthday party of Simon’s mother (Shola Adewusi) where he gets a better understanding of his new friend’s backstory and witnesses Simon’s powers triggered by family drama.

Continuing to search for more periphery Marvel Comics characters to add to the MCU, Disney+ offers up longtime hero, and sometimes West Coast Avenger, Wonder Man. Opening with an old movie featuring an actor playing the larger than life movie character with an extra dash of Flash Gordon thrown-in, in a pretty comic-accurate costume, we soon jump to the young boy in the audience who grows up to be a struggling actor with a burning desire to play his childhood hero on the big screen.
