Eddie Possehl is a dynamic and driven writer/director with a passion for the written word and all things film, television, comics, and games. His passion for storytelling led him to establish his own production company in hopes of achieving his dreams.

His dedication to his craft has attracted renowned talent like Yuri Lowenthal to collaborate with him on his projects. As he grows and improves, Eddie is a shining example of a self-starter.

Spoiler Alert: This list contains spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Episode 7.One of the best Marvel television shows in a minute is none other than Daredevil: Born Again. Despite getting a first season that was relatively well-received, but not amazingly—because of the production issues that forced them to combine an older version of the show with a rewritten one—it remains not only one of the best-written, but one of the most well-made, too. With Season 2 about to end, and with Season 3 already deep into production, people are riding the high.

On that high, though, people continue to talk about the likes of the Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) fight scene featured in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Episode 4, "Gloves Off," because of how genuinely amazing it was. If there's one thing that the team behind Daredevil: Born Again can excel at consistently, it's executing fight sequences, just like the Netflix iteration. While the Bullseye diner fight scene is amazing, there have been plenty of other battles in the two seasons that are just as good or even better, at times.

Daredevil vs. Wilson Fisk

Season 2, Episode 6, "Requiem"

It's always cool to see the main hero and villain face off in an intense battle, and one of the best examples recently comes in the form of Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk's (Vincent D'Onofrio) battle on the villain's estate. It does something unlike any of the Fisk fights that have come before in the Netflix Daredevil series, which sets this battle apart from all the other Fisk confrontations and keeps it feeling unique and memorable as the season comes to an end soon.

Something great about Daredevil being added to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (well, in a more involved way, that is) is the fact that he is far more agile and nimble than he'd ever been before. This is a lot closer to the comic books, in which he is consistently leaping and swinging around the city and hopping around his villains. This fight is the first time he's really gotten to face his nemesis in this new fighting style, and it helps create an awesome visual contrast between the two of them, making for some amazing choreography as a result.

Matt Murdock vs. Corrupt Cops

Season 1, Episode 2, "Optics"

Because of where he's mentally at after the death of Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) in Season 1, Daredevil: Born Again's debut has a lot of Matt Murdock action, and that can be seen best through his fight with two corrupt cops in Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, Episode 2, "Optics". When they attack him, he does his best not to confront them and takes a beating, but when it looks like they're about to kill him, he jumps into action in a brutal way.

After having a gun pointed at his head, he completely wipes the floor with these two foes, breaking one of their arms, slamming him around. Then, to the other, he slams him repeatedly into the fridge and smacks him onto his neck on the floor. This fight is not only entertaining for how brutal it is, but because it also shows that even outside the devil costume, the blind lawyer still has it. You can take Matt out of Daredevil, but you can't take Daredevil out of Matt.

Jessica Jones and Daredevil vs. The Anti-Vigilante Task Force

Season 2, Episode 6, "Requiem"

One of the best parts about Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is the inclusion of more characters from the Netflix era of the franchise, with one of the most special being none other than Matt's fellow Defender, Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter). In Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Episode 6, "Requiem", the two get to team-up again, and it results in an incredibly thrilling warehouse battle, in which people finally get to see Jessica back in action, and even get some character evolution from her, too.

Not only do people get to see her super strength back on full display, but it's also established that they've actually been on the fritz since she had her child, Danielle (Annabelle Ivlev and Isabella Ivlev). Everyone loves a good team-up fight and this one has the makings of a great one, with the two of them not only kicking butt together, but covering each other's backs too, which results in some great combined choreography. Seeing fan favorite characters come together and kick faces in is always a thrill, grin-inducing, nail-biting, and results in moments that quickly become favorites for most people—the case with this union of Jessica and Matt after so long (Defenders having ended 2017, almost 10 years ago now).

Frank Castle and Daredevil vs. The Anti-Vigilante Task Force

Season 1, Episode 9, "Straight to Hell"

Speaking of team-ups, if there's one that people always adore to see on screen, it's none other than Daredevil and The Punisher (Jon Bernthal), aka Frank Castle. In the finale of Season 1, the two of them come together to face off against some Anti-Vigilante Task Force agents. What always makes this pairing so entertaining and engaging is their consistently contrasting morals and fighting styles. While Daredevil may sometimes be brutal, Frank is far more so—taking lives and taking names.

As they come together—even though it's a team-up, and they're moving like a well-oiled machine—Matt is consistently trying to keep his partner from murdering all these men. However, Frank is sending bullets, smashing faces into countertop corners, and more. It is so fun to watch, and their disagreements on how to handle guys like this help keep it engrossing—viewers are unable to take their eyes off of it. A good internal conflict, mixed with an external conflict, makes for scenes that are pretty unforgettable and the constant internal conflict these two face with each other is entertaining as heck.

AAcknowledge them, then release them. Attachment leads to suffering. BFeel them fully, then decide what to do — they're not the enemy. CBury them. Emotion is a liability I can't afford to indulge. DUse them. Passion is the engine of the dark side for good reason.

NEXT QUESTION →

The Jedi Council gives you an order you disagree with. You: How you handle authority reveals your alignment.

AFollow it. The Council's wisdom surpasses my own perspective. BVoice my objection clearly, then defer to the decision. CComply outwardly while doing what I think is right. DIgnore it. The strong don't answer to committees.

NEXT QUESTION →

You are offered forbidden knowledge that could give you enormous power. The cost is crossing a moral line. You: The dark side's pull is never more than a choice away.

ARefuse without hesitation. There is no cost worth that price. BWeigh it carefully — sometimes darkness holds real answers. CFeel the pull but walk away — for now. DAccept it. Power justifies the method used to obtain it.

NEXT QUESTION →

Your approach to training and learning is: A student's habits become a master's character.

ADedicated but humble. There is always more to learn from my masters. BRigorous and patient. Mastery is earned through years of discipline. CEclectic — I draw from every tradition, not just one. DRelentless and brutal. Pain accelerates growth. Rest is weakness.

AStrike them down — compassion toward enemies is naïve and costly. BNeutralize them permanently. I can't afford loose ends. CSpare them if I can — but stay clear-eyed about the risks. DOffer them a chance to surrender. Every being deserves that.

NEXT QUESTION →

NEXT QUESTION →

Why do you use the Force at all? What's the point? Purpose is the difference between a knight and a weapon.

ATo learn. I'm still figuring out what I'm capable of. BTo protect and serve. The Force is a responsibility, not a gift. CTo survive — and maybe carve out something worth having. DTo dominate. Strength demands to be expressed, not contained.

NEXT QUESTION →

At the final moment — light side or dark side pulling at you — what wins? In the end, every Force user faces this moment. What does yours look like?

Your Alignment Has Been Determined Your Place in the Force

The scores below reveal how the Force sees you. Your highest number is your true alignment. Read on to understand what that means — and what it will cost you.

🔵 Jedi Master

🟡 Padawan

🔴 Sith Lord

⚫ Inquisitor

⚪ Grey Jedi

Disciplined, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the living Force, you have walked the path long enough to understand its demands — and accept them. You lead not through authority alone, but through example. You have felt the pull of the dark side and chosen otherwise, every time. That is not certainty. That is courage.

You are earnest, powerful, and brimming with potential — and you know it, which is both your greatest asset and your most dangerous flaw. You act before you think, trust your gut over your training, and sometimes confuse impatience for bravery. The Masters see something in you, though. The question isn't whether you have what it takes — it's whether you'll be patient enough to find out.

You are not simply dangerous — you are certain, and that is worse. You have decided what the galaxy needs, and you have decided you are the one to deliver it. Your power is genuine and formidable, earned through sacrifice that would have broken lesser beings. But examine your victories carefully. Every Sith believed their cause was righteous. The dark side's cruelest trick is that it agrees with you.

You were forged in fire and reshaped by those who found you at your lowest. You serve, because service gave you structure when you had none. Your allegiance is not to an ideology — it is to survival and to the master who gave you purpose. But there is something buried beneath the conditioning. The Jedi you hunt? You recognize them. Because you remember what it felt like before the choice was taken from you.

You have looked at the Jedi Code and the Sith Code and found both of them incomplete. You walk the line not out of indecision but out of conviction — you genuinely believe both extremes miss something essential. The Jedi don't fully trust you. The Sith think you're wasting your potential. They're both partially right. But so are you.

Daredevil vs. Muse

Season 1, Episode 6, "Excessive Force"

Muse (Hunter Doohan) was, quite easily, one of the most interesting characters in the first season of Daredevil: Born Again. Being a more recently-introduced character in the comics, people were pretty excited to see him make his live-action debut, and boy did it pay off. The first fight that he and Daredevil got to have in Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, Episode 6, "Excessive Force" was awesome, and showcased Matt finally letting the devil out again after coming back as the hero.

Daredevil comes in guns blazing for this battle, thanks to Angela Del Toro's (Camila Rodriguez) life being at stake—Muse siphoning the blood from her body, putting the hero on a ticking clock, which cranks this fight's tension to a whole new level. Matt really gets to let his inner devil out with this one, and it leads to something amazing, thrilling, and well worth the wait to see him return to the red threads.

The Prison Break Oner

Season 2, Episode 3, "The Scales and the Sword"

If there's one thing that the Daredevil franchise is known for doing best, it's their one-shot fights—oners—and the first half of Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again features one of the best. When Daredevil and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) come together to break a gigantic group of people out of one of the Anti-Vigilante Task Force prisons, a great oner ensues as the hero fights the guards, breaks the prisoners out, continues to fight guards, and escape the prison.

What always makes scenes like this so memorable is the clear amount of dedication, blood, sweat, and tears that went into making a scene that complex and long, even possible, let alone filming it. Choreographing and blocking that many actors in one scene, mixed with the camera movements, fight choreography, and more, make it all the more satisfying to watch. A good fight scene at such a vital moment in the story can enhance it tenfold, and that's quite exactly what happens here when the protagonist goes to hell and back to save all of these innocent people.

Daredevil vs. Bullseye

Season 1, Episode 1, "Heaven's Half Hour"

Daredevil: Born Again kicks off with a death that broke the hearts of absolutely every Daredevil fan out there, as it killed the ever-lovable Foggy Nelson at the hands of one of Daredevil's greatest villains, Bullseye. Not only is this battle intense, with the villain throwing numerous blades into Matt's body—turning him into a human pincushion—but it is also emotionally charged, given the ticking clock of Foggy's life, which eventually runs out.

This ends up being the inciting incident of the entire show, as not only does Foggy lose his life, but Daredevil attempts to kill Bullseye by throwing him off the roof of Josie's. Not to mention, this fight is primarily one big oner, which kicks the show off as an example of the fact that—with the rewritten content, at least—the showrunners were dedicated to making sure this was going to be a mostly faithful continuation of the original Daredevil show. No, it's not perfect, but the first season tries its best to keep the spirit and soul of the original series—Season 2 is doing a far better job at that now, though.
