* LighterAndSofter: The Daredevil outfit having a revamped color-scheme - bringing it in line with his original comic appearance - is mirrored by Matt Murdock's personality being less overtly angsty and self-serious, especially around Jen; whilst not fully out of character for him, the darker and edgier tone of his character and the ''Daredevil'' series itself is occasionally [[{{Bathos}} undercut for humour]], whilst still showing him as a highly competent vigilante, even against She-Hulk's superior strength.

** Matt reveals that the [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar Sokovia Accords]] were repealed. In the [[ComicBook/CivilWar comics]], Daredevil was on Captain America's side, who was against the Super-Human Registration Act. It's also a nod to how Creator/CharlieCox had expressed interest in becoming part of the cast for ''Civil War'', only for then-current legal issues to get in the way of that.

* HollywoodLaw: [[Series/Daredevil2015 Matt Murdock]] makes his highly-anticipated guest appearance and faces off against Jen in court. This ignores the fact that in the United States, law licenses are state-level. Every state and territory has its own bar exam that an attorney must pass in order to practice law there, and there is no mention that the New York-based Matt is licensed to practice in California. It's possible to be admitted temporarily so they can work on a particular case (called ''pro hac vice'') but that isn't mentioned here, and regardless it seems odd that he'd do this going from New York out of the blue (while representing the plaintiff in a civil case when he's a criminal defense attorney too).

*BothSidesHaveAPoint: Matt doesn't want Jen on the rescue mission because she is basically a civilain. She hasn't done superhero training, hasn't done any super-heroing before now and has explictly stated that she doesn't want to be a superhero. That is valid. Also valid is that Jen's Hulk form has SuperToughness, SuperStrength, and she ''did'' win her bout against him in this episode, so she can definitely handle combat with standard henchgoons.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Eugene is apparently such a fan of this that he uses his CatchPhrase for it.
** When in a losing fight with two nighttime robbers, he uses it right as he flees on his jet boots which is what results in his injury that he sues Luke over.
