Until now, theDisney+series has largely kept its main characters apart.

And, predictably, Marvel fans have had plenty to say about events that unfold.

Daredevil: Born Again’s eighth episode has got everyone reacting like this, Matt

Full spoilers immediately followforDaredevil: Born Againseason 1’s eighth chapter.

Who really killed Franklin ‘Foggy’ Nelson and is he actually dead?

That’s particularly true for those of us who watchedNetflix’sDaredevilTV show, whichBorn Againis a direct continuation of.

That big fan theory about Foggy Nelson might not be so outlandish after all

It’s looking increasingly likely that fans were right to assume this, too.

Indeed, we watched him shoot Foggy in one of thebest Disney+ shows' first episode.

‘Isle of Joy’ upends that by revealing Vanessa Fisk was responsible for putting the hit out on Foggy.

I know what you did last year, Vanessa

Or, so it would seem.

While Vanessa doesn’t explicitly confirm Foggy is still alive, she insinuates as much to Matt.

Okay, she only tells him “you better relax”, which could be interpreted in numerous ways.

Taking the phrase ‘keep your enemies closer’ to new extremes, eh, Matt?

But, more on that later.

When and how did Bullseye become involved in it?

As Reddit usercig_sg_throwawaypoints out, Dex tried to kill Vanessa in the Netflix show’s final season.

Smile for the camera!

Why, then, would she bring him into the fold to help ‘bump off’ Foggy?

Why does Matt Murdock save Wilson Fisk’s life?

Those questions will have to wait, though, because there’s a more pressing one at hand.

Fans can’t agree on whether Matt intentionally helped Bullseye escape prison

Namely, why did Matt save his archnemesis Wilson Fisk’s life at the Mayor’s Ball?

It appears he has a solitary goal for doing so, too: killing Wilson Fisk.

It’s not surprising that Bullseye would want to murder him.

If Matt aided Bullseye’s escape, it’s his own fault he was shot at the Mayor’s Ball

As directors, Julian Benson and Aaron Moorhead pointed in arecent YouTube interview, the pair have a history.

So Bullseye has two major reasons to seek out and murder Fisk in theMarvel Phase 5TV show.

He would’ve succeeded, too, if it wasn’t for Matt’s intervention.

Using his superhuman hearing, Matt learns that someone is readying a loaded rifle to shoot Wilson Fisk.

Hopefully, we’ll see the immediatefalloutin next week’s season 1 finale.

Perhaps this episode’s biggest talking point, though, is whether Murdock intentionally freed Bullseye.

However, sections of the Marvel fanbase argue that Murdock actually helped Dex escape prison.

With his hand unshackled, the sharpshooting sociopath would be able to break out of jail.

Others were less happy with this possible story beat, though.

Sitting squarely on the fence,PlanetSmasherandMintharawere less sure about the true meaning behind this contentious scene.

Will we find out if Murdock helped Dex or not in episode 9?
