Netflix’sDaredevilseries has gained a reputation for being one of, if not the best, Marvel show. This is not only because it is a good adaptation of a beloved character, but because it is agoodshow. On top of having a cast full of actors who understand their characters, the cinematography, writing, and pacing are what helped it turn into the masterpiece it is, with the only thing negative about it being its untimely end.
The one thing that fans have hoped for is the reboot,Daredevil: Born Again, can match the standard that the original series set for its audience.
One by one, additions to the cast have been announced that have made fans ecstatic, with Karen Page and Foggy Nelson reuniting with Matt Murdock in this new series. The most recent addition seems to be that of one of the most memorable parts of the series, Bullseye, played by Wilson Bethel. With this, fans cannot help but appreciate the Netflix series for what they did with him, wanting to see something from the comics about this character done by his live-action self.
Bullseye InDaredevilWas Perfectly Adapted
Bullseye’s character was certainly unforgettable inDaredevil. On top of stealing the identity of Matt Murdock as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, but also pushed him to his very limits. Not only kicking him down physically but nearly forcing him to go against his morals. His abilities as a character were truly showcased in a way that made the audience concerned about Murdock’s safety whenever something was thrown at him.
Recently, a fan,RedLReviewson X,spoke exactly on this, talking about how easily the show’s creators could have made his character seem insignificant.
I’m so glad they didn’t downplay Bullseye’s abilities at all or try to be like “he only throws darts or knives or traditional throwing weapons” nah this mf will kill you by throwing staplers and bouncy balls at you and there’s nothing you can do to stop himhttps://t.co/CWXu7Z1Ap0

Being a master marksman, Bullseye, better known as Benjamin Poindexter, possesses the near-inhuman ability to throw any object with deadly precision. The fan mentioned that this ability could have very simply been undersold in the show, with him being only given knives, stars, and darts to throw at his enemies. However, the creators choose a different route.
Poindexter can throw virtually anything at his opponent and kill them without even wielding a weapon. In the series, he was seen throwing things ranging from broken glass from a chandelier to rosary beads. So much so that Murdock’s character is at a very great disadvantage whenever Bullseye manages to gain some distance between them.
Fans Want To See Bullseye Get Inspired From TheDaredevilComics
The level of precision and threat that Bullseye is in theDaredevilseries is true to the comics, which prompted fans to wonder what they would like to see adapted from the source material into the new reboot. A fan mentioned that one specific move of this character would perfectly work in the series. First seen inCaptain America#372, Bullseye has frequently used his own teeth as weapons, spitting out his tooth so fast that it works as well as a bullet in killing his opponents.
Bullseye used his own tooth in one of the recent issues of daredevil. I would give anything to see that play out in live action 😂

And that’s where most of S3’s comedy came from. I cracked up so hard when he hurled that one big aluminium fruit bowl at Fisk in the final fight and it made a big BONK sound
