Daredevil’s Proposal Scene is One Of The Most Iconic Moments Of Season 1
It’s A High Bar, But The Proposal Scene Clears It
I remember thisscene is one ofDaredevil ’s best(the hall competitiveness and Fisk ’s brutal murder of Anatoly Ranskahov notwithstanding , of class ) for how it encapsulates both Wilson Fisk and Vanessa . We see much of Fisk ’s softer side in his interaction with Maya Lopez during flashback and in the present inEcho , butI think his characterization is perfectly enshrined in this single view . He is supposed to be a terrifying scoundrel , yet his desperation in get hold of the few bit he can for propose to Vanessa is enough to inspire commiseration and humanize him .
The fear and lugubriousness in her eyes assure us that Wilson Fisk ’s vengeance will be terrible due to him being so protective over her .
Vanessa , meanwhile , wordlessly looks on as Fisk is arrested with tears in her eye . By this point , she has already proved that his violent nature does not phase her , butshe is try helpless when the consequences of his criminality forcefully separate the two . The fear and lugubriousness in her eye assure us that Wilson Fisk ’s retribution will be severe due to him being so protective over her . For all of this , I think these few seconds in the serial remain some of the best in Marvel production , and I hopeDaredevil : Born Againcan deliver something alike .
