The Review
Born Again Season 2 picks up where the messy first season stumbled and actually finds its footing. Charlie Cox is still the best thing Marvel has on any screen, and giving Vincent D'Onofrio more room to breathe as Kingpin was the smartest decision anyone at Disney has made since buying Pixar.
The action choreography is genuinely impressive, the hallway fights are back, and for once the MCU remembers that not every scene needs a quip. It is darker, tighter, and more confident.
The problem? It is still a Disney+ show. The pacing sags in episodes 3 and 4 like a fighter between rounds, and there are at least two subplots that exist purely to set up future Marvel projects nobody asked for.
What It Nails
- +Charlie Cox's performance anchors everything
- +The hallway fight scenes are back and better
- +Kingpin finally feels like a real threat
- +Punisher episodes steal the show
What It Botches
- -Mid-season pacing issues drag it down
- -Two unnecessary MCU setup subplots
- -Some CGI in the finale looks rushed
- -Still pulls its punches compared to the Netflix era
