Date: 2015-04-14 01:34 pm (UTC)ETA: In fairness, and thinking about it further, there is one scene in the second episode which you could say as a show, not main character endorsement, because the nurse character is so revolted by the villain du jour's revelling in the future fate of a kidnapped child involving sex trade that she tells not-yet-Daredevil to stab the guy at a particular nerve spot near the eye, and that works (i.e. information is given, kid is saved). But the other times he's alone and the situations are as described above. I think what stops me from seeing this as endorsing torture the way I would if an identical scene were in, say, 24 (where there were a lot of similar scenes even in the two seasons I watched) is that another big theme of the show is police coruption. So there is no "hero does things the institutions are too liberal/soft/whatever to use for the greater good", because the cops have absolutely no problem with behaving this way. Also you have the whole parallel plot thread of Karen, Ben Urich and Foggy doggedly investigating (non violently) which contributes as much to the villain's eventual downfall as Matt's vigilantism does.
