Here's why these characters were not in Daredevil Season 3

We can fix that now as well.

The old question of superheroes, for all connected universes: why did not he just call his friends? And Daredevil, the sad and angry boy he is, has strong friends in the form of Defenders: Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and (ugh) Iron Fist. So when Kingpin fell on a fan, why did not he ask for help?

This is one of those questions for which there is not necessarily a need for an answer, but someone will certainly ask him. So it is the showrunner Erik Oleson who entrusted to Comicbook.com (via CBR) his thoughts on this subject.

"Well, there are several reasons," he said. "This is the reason for the story for which Matt thinks it is his responsibility that the release of Fisk is due to him largely because he did not take care of it the first time or the second time . Matt Murdock is therefore determined to repair the wrongs that he himself has set in motion. "

He added, "He also, in a spiritual way, has the feeling that God speaks to him and gives him a reason to be, a reason to continue and exist after his heartbreaking life. at the end of Defenders, where he left the building, Elektra did not do it, "he added. "And in episode 1 of this season, Matt is basically trying to kill himself by a thug. He therefore has spiritual and emotional reasons why he does not call the defenders. "

Oleson also points to the narrative reason that it's simply more interesting. The friendship in superhero stories is a fickle thing, indeed. It's only there when it's fun.
