* The show grows to great lengths to explain the origin of the Punisher's skull logo, revealing that it was inspired by an x-ray of his own skull with bullet wounds he got from the men who murdered his family. This is likely intended to add more meaning to the logo, but it comes off as overly complicated, unnecessary, and kind of silly when a skull is plenty menacing without a complicated backstory.

* Matt's new armor sparking as Fisk hits him with a pipe. It was probably to emphasize how much Matt needs it or how good of a craftsman Melvin is, but it just comes off looking silly.
* In Season 2, multiple people refer to Matt's costume as "pajamas". If he were wearing a costume closer to his comic book costume (solid bright red, skintight suit) it would make sense. However, Daredevil's Netflix costume looks NOTHING like pajamas considering the heavy Kevlar body armor and combat boots. If he were wearing something more like Spider-Man it would make sense, but here it just sounds ridiculous.

* Season 3 leans very heavily into the ScreamingWarrior trope. Dex's primal scream whenever he's frustrated after Fisk tells him to is one of the most prominent examples.
* Julie's murder is shot in a bizarrely quick and perfunctory fashion. As it's shown through us seeing Fisk watch it on a small CCTV screen (to show how detached he is about killing an innocent woman), several fans said they didn't even realize it was her, and were quite confused when the show brings it up later.

* In the comics, Bullseye can kill people with any thrown object including playing cards, pens, and even [[DungFu his own stool]]. Here, Bullseye still has his ImprobableAimingSkills but they often just bounce off the opponent realistically. Examples include a baseball he throws at Daredevil in the newspaper office and utensils he throws at Fisk during the penthouse fight.

* Fisk bellowing "I'm going to kill you!" just before his final fight with Matt. Even Vincent D'Onofrio can't make that line sound like anything but a blatant case of [[Main/ThatMakesMeFeelAngry]].

* Fisk's tantrum-like beat-down after his dating disaster made some viewers unable to take him seriously as a villain.



* Fisk [[spoiler:giving an ''insanely'' long-winded speech to the FBI guys in the van with him, which includes an explanation of religion's role in his family and a detailed play-by-play of the story of the Samaritan, and culminates in a pretty silly Biblical metaphor about Fisk's life, with the point ultimately being that Fisk realizes he's a villain.]]



* Frank claiming that Matt is "[[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke one bad day]] away from becoming [him,]" for being a rather unfitting ShoutOut.
* Whenever Matt and Elektra are in the same room together, the amount of loud, heavy breathing and whisper-talking increases by 10 times, regardless of what they are actually doing.



* There are a number of melodramatic moments that the show expects you to take seriously but comes off like something immensely campy. Like when Elektra kills the teenage Hand ninja and tells Matt, "This is who I am," with a pouty expression and blood splatter on her face, which mostly just makes you wonder "how exactly this is any worse than what Matt already knew about her?"

* The show seems to go out of its way to avoid calling {{The City}} anything other than, well, the City, is kind of hilarious. Especially since it is so visibly New York City. This same problem does not seem to stop people from talking about Hell's Kitchen. It has actually led to people unfamiliar with NYC to assume that "the city" is called "Hell's Kitchen".

* Matt and Dex's fight at the ''New York Bulletin''. ImprobableAimingSkills plus [[ImprovisedWeapon weaponized office supplies]] straddles the line between Narm and CrazyAwesome.

* The entirety of the "Hand" plot which dominates the latter half of season 2 and ''Series/TheDefenders2017'' has aged poorly since its introduction into the franchise three decades ago. After around a season-and-a-half of dealing with realistic underworld villains, Daredevil's switch to fighting costume shop ninjas in order to avert an obscure and mystical Japanese prophecy comes across as somewhere between surreal and silly.

* Season 3's rendition of the single-shot hallway fight is its most ambitious yet, and is mostly very impressive. Unfortunately, Matt being out of costume means that Creator/CharlieCox's stunt double has to put much more effort into hiding his face from the camera, which is often very obvious.

* Season 3 leans very heavily into the ScreamingWarrior trope, until you start expecting Creator/RebBrown to show up. Pointdexter in particular screaming his lungs out whenever he's frustrated after Fisk tells him to.
