Matt Murdock dancing at a Fisk event? This ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ scene has fans laughing

A fresh Daredevil: Born Again episode 8 clip is making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), and it's offering fans all the drama and inadvertent humor they can get. Set at a black-and-white party hosted by Mayor Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, the short scene shows Matt Murdock committing the most grievous party faux pas by cutting in front of Vanessa to dance in front of a shocked, enraged Fisk.

Dressed like he's attending a noir prom and sensing danger in a manner that only Daredevil can, Matt floats into the scene like smooth jazz, while Kingpin just stands there looking like he lost his date and his Spotify playlist.

Now the fans of Daredevil: Born Again are quoting it, memeing it, and rewatching it like it's the Super Bowl halftime show. What's actually unclear in the clip, beyond how Matt moonwalked undetected, is Vanessa's reaction. Is she smiling? Is she shocked? Did she just go along with it because Matt smelled like justice and cologne? We'll never know.

Some fans are certain she looked relieved to escape Kingpin's stiff dance moves, while others are certain she was blinking in Morse code for help. One thing's for sure, though: Wilson Fisk hasn't been treated this badly at a formal affair since someone arrived at his penthouse potluck with store-bought dip.

As soon as the video of Daredevil: Born Again, episode 8, came out, someone took to their X account and commented:

"They don't call him the devil for nothing"

This user got it just right. In Daredevil: Born Again Episode 8, as the black-and-white gala evoked serious old-Hollywood, Matt exuded serious "I came in here to make something happen" vibes.

One minute, Kingpin's attempting to share a moment with Vanessa, and the next, Daredevil materializes out of nowhere and sweeps her onto the dance floor like he's trying out for 'Dancing with the Superheroes.' The entire scene was tense, funny, and on-brand for Matt, who isn't afraid to tango with trouble.

Fans can't choose whether or not Vanessa was over the moon with excitement or merely attempting not to initiate a city-wide conflict with her ex's arch-nemesis during mid-foxtrot. Either way, that one clip has become an all-out meme fest on X, and Daredevil: Born Again may have just dropped its most memorable moment yet.

Matt entered, danced with Vanessa, and exited Kingpin like he forgot he arrived. People on X saw five seconds of the video and went straight into the comments. No one was waiting for context. Some asked if Vanessa smiled or scowled, while others just made jokes.

Everyone said something, whether or not they had any clue what was happening. It turned into a mini game: quickly type, be witty, and acquire likes.

Netizens react as Matt Murdock dances at a Fisk event in Daredevil: Born Again, Season 8

Some people didn't even see the entire clip of Daredevil: Born Again before diving into the comments section to make jokes. One moment of pandemonium was all it took for them to unleash a string of punchlines. Plot and logic weren't important to them, just timing and vibes.

If they found it funny, it was worth sharing:

"Why did I think he was gonna dance with Kingpin?," a user @Benjlee1 hilariously commented.

The plot of Daredevil: Born Again, Episode 8

Wilson Fisk's black-and-white party in Episode 8 of Daredevil: Born Again was not so much a party as a live-action crisis session. Bullseye, the man who murdered Foggy Nelson, was transferred from secure custody to the general prison population for reasons nobody took the time to explain.

Fisk gave his wife, Vanessa, a personal tour of the cell where her ex-lover Adam was being held, and she responded by killing him on the spot. That was apparently her way of saying "I'm in."

Meanwhile, Matt Murdock found out that his therapist, Heather, was also Fisk's therapist. She showed up to the gala like that wasn't the weirdest conflict of interest ever. Matt didn’t take it well. At the same gala, Fisk installed Daniel Blake, a fellow who appears underqualified, as Deputy Mayor of Communications.

At the very end of Daredevil: Born Again episode 8, Matt Murdock performs the ultimate "plot twist" by jumping in the way of a bullet intended for Kingpin. Yes, the guy he's been battling for eight episodes. Bullseye attempts to do what he does best, shoot people, and Matt decides it's hero time in the middle of a gala.

The entire thing happens in slow-motion drama, like the editor really wanted you to feel it. Matt crashes to the ground; everyone is confused, and in the background somewhere, Kingpin is likely thinking whether this means they are friends now (maybe).

The title is lengthy, the résumé is likely brief. In short, by the conclusion of the episode, the gala had a body count, a public HR incident, and enough cringeworthy tension to overload the city's WiFi.

Reportedly, the ending song of Daredevil: Born Again, episode 8, is one of the best needle drops of the MCU

The second Matt falls to the floor during the eighth episode of Daredevil: Born Again, the music just cuts on with the melodramatic gospel hymn "Storm Cloud Rising" by the Florida Mass Choir, screaming, "I see the lightning flashing," as if the world's most over-the-top church scene just crashed the MCU.

The lyrics go hard with lines like "I wanna see Jesus" and "I’m going home," which is either a powerful nod to Matt’s faith or a not-so-subtle hint that he might be one foot into the afterlife. Fans are already calling this the best MCU needle drop since Deadpool turned a bar fight into a "Like a Prayer" music video.

It's dramatic, it's crazy, and it's evidence that if you're bleeding out dramatically, you'd better have a good soundtrack lined up.

The dance sequence in Daredevil: Born Again, episode 8, was like seeing your ex at a wedding they're not invited to. Matt just walked in, chopped between Kingpin and Vanessa like open mic night at Cringe Interventions, and acted like this was normal behavior.

Fisk simply stood there, dumbfounded, probably thinking about new security protocols. Vanessa didn't know where to look, Matt? Fisk? The door? And yet, no one stopped the slow dance. No guards, no music stoppage, not even an arched eyebrow.

Just Daredevil in the middle of the gala, whirling around the mayor's wife while the actual mayor seemed to be calculating the emotional toll in real time. It wasn't a move of power. It was a "did he just really do that?" moment, and somehow, that's exactly the kind of chaos this show thrives on.
