Hello everyone. Today I want to talk about the "Purple" story arc. For those who don't know, It's Daredevil Vol 5 17-20. I read this arc a few months ago and after thinking about it, I cant help but think this arc is basically like the infamous "One More Day" storyline, but with better plot detailing. I know it may be a BOLD stretch but please hear me out.

1. The Overall Premise: Before the story begins, it opens with Matt dealing with the issues that have resulted from Matt's secret identity being made public. He was attacked in his house by Typhoid Mary and his girlfriend could have been hurt. Ill admit the reasoning for his journey is different because he wants to restore his secret while Peter Parker just wanted to save his Aunt.

2. The Cameos: Like Peter, Matt went to various other superheroes for help, all of whom should be able to fix his problem for various reasons. The difference would be that the reasoning makes more sense than the ones given in OMD. -Doctor Strange never showed the ability to wipe the memory of the ENTIRE human race, even when magic wasn't weakened in the universe. When he did show this ability, he had help from Professor X (Who's Dead) and the Sentry (Who is either dead or still traveling space). Even if he did, he would probably have the same qualm as Silver Surfer -The Silver Surfer refusing to use the Power Cosmic to wipe everyone's memory makes sense. He obviously does have the power to do so, but I doubt he would be willing to mess with the human race for the sake of what is basically a friend's "PR problems". You may as well ask him to bring back the dinosaurs to help a teen hero with a biology report. -Emma Frost has at least two reasons not to help Matt, and it wouldn't be just to be snobby. First, the last time I checked, she still hasnt regained her full Omega Level Telepathy from the Phoenix "breaking" her. Even if she did, it is EMMA FLIPPIN FROST. She spent her life being rich and famous and obviously misses that life sometimes. She is with the X-Men, who are the Least popular superteam IN-Universe, and should anyone really expect her to sympathise with a man who is living her life basically.

3. The Method: Everyone remembers that in OMD, Peter made a deal with Mephisto to restore his identity and save his Aunt, which was left field and random in a bad way. It was even referenced in the story by Daimon Hellstrom, with Matt turning the offer down flat. This makes sense because there's no way that an established Catholic, would go to the devil for an easy out. The introduction of the Purple Children, and what they did in the end, made sense because they are generally decent kids. They were rescued by Daredevil before and technically owe him. The machine that augmented their power may have looked too convenient, but you would have to remember Killgrave's early years to remember. He was strapped to the same type of machine by Doctor Doom, so it was likely Killgrave would remember the machine and it would have been easy to nab a few scientists and have them build it for him.

Ultimately I find it to be the same story with more reasonable plot details, but this is all my opinion. I want to get your opinions so feel free to read and state your opinion
