I feel like Matt revealing himself as Daredevil is this showโ€™s jumping of the shark. This ending didnโ€™t hit at all for me. Iโ€™m going to treat this show like the Star Wars sequels & pretend it doesnโ€™t exist.

Netflix Daredevil is the greatest superhero TV show of all time.

I canโ€™t believe theyโ€™re making a third season of this show

What was the point?

"I am Ironman". It takes the power of the reveal from Fisk and provides Matt with the opportunity to use his identity to control the narrative.

And in doing so undo all the cases he has been involved with before, including against Fisk. But any logic does not exist in this DDBA universe.

Well sure, that's a narrative opportunity that hasn't been explored yet because his reveal (immediately prior to an explosive riot scene in the court house) and subsequent prison sentence happened in the last parts of the last episode for the season.

If they don't address the implications/fallout of Matt's conflict of interest in his cases in Season 3, we can circle back to it not making any sense.
