Daredevil/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fridge Logic: Early on, it's established that Matt can only sleep in a sensory deprivation tank because his powers make him extra-sensitive to sound. But after his sex scene with Elektra, we see him sleeping soundly in her bed with no difficulty. Then again, having Matt sleeping under silk sheets with a naked Jennifer Garner by his side is a lot more effective than having him alone in a cramped water tank.
    • Maybe the sex wore him out to the point where he was able to sleep soundly despite his sensitivity.
    • They never said that he can ONLY sleep in the tank, just that he does so. Maybe he's capable of sleeping in a normal bed but finds it much less comfortable.
    • Here's one for the entire Daredevil franchise - resorting to vigilanteeism is an obvious a Take That at the corrupt justice system, but in a different context it makes Matt Murdock look like a pretty crappy lawyer...
      • Or simply a noble lawyer who has the odds stacked against him. Remember, the crooks Matt attempts to prosecute are often very well-connected, and seem to be able to buy off the judges/juries very frequently. Thus, up against a justice system that's been perverted, Matt Murdock has no choice but to use his abilities for vigilantism if he expects to see justice done.
      • This is actually brought up when hes been outted during Bendis' run. Its said that he'd get in huge trouble for all the times he interfered with his own cases.
      • Matt's a defense attorney, not a prosecutor. He's the guy who defends people accused of a crime in court. And he generally seems to work lawsuit cases more often than criminal defense cases. So his being a super hero has nothing to do with him seeking justice against criminals he failed to put away in court. That's not what his job is.
