Elektra Siap Memburu Daredevil di Season 2!

Elektra. Nama yang satu ini sudah sangat melekat dalam kisah Daredevil. Ia adalah salah satu assassin terbaik di dunia Marvel Comics. Hubungannya dengan Daredevil pun rumit, sering menjadi sekutu - bahkan kekasih - namun kadang juga berhadapan menjadi musuh. Ada fans yang kecewa ia sama sekali tak dimunculkan di season 1. Karenanya Marvel Studio pun memunculkan Elektra di season 2!

Aktris yang beruntung untuk memerankan karakter favorit fans ini adalah Elodie Yung, yang sebelum ini sempat tampil di G.I. Joe: Retaliation!

Lucunya sih, Yung sudah berpengalaman memerankan karakter cewek keninja-ninjaan yang berbahaya. Dia sudah memerankan karakter seperti itu di G.I. Joe Retaliation, yakni Jinx. Bahkan kostum Jinx pun serba merah, seperti wujud awam Elektra di komik!

Hal ini pun disampaikan secara resmi oleh [outbound_link text="Marvel" link="https://static.duniaku.net/2015/07/Elektra-Nobu-Season-1.png">Netflix juga mem-posting gambar ini via Twitter, yang menunjukkan kalau Elektra sepertinya berniat memburu Daredevil.

Tertulis di sana kalau Elektra adalah kawan lama Matt Murdock. Di season 1, Foggy Nelson sempat bertanya kepada Murdock tentang pacarnya sebelum ini, seorang wanita cantik keturunan Yunani. Hubungan itu, kalau berdasarkan jawaban Murdock, sepertinya berakhir dengan buruk.

Menariknya, sepertinya dialog casting yang sebelumnya sempat bocor di internet tampaknya mengisyaratkan Murdock dan Elektra sempat bekerja sama menjadi vigilante saat mereka kuliah, era yang sesuai dengan flashback di mana Foggy menanyakan pacar Murdock dari Yunani.

Dalam dialog casting pertama, percakapan soal fraternity dan faculties memberi petunjuk latar belakang mereka saat mereka masih menjadi mahasiswa dan mahasiswi.

Elektra: Nice shoes, wingtips, good call. Tie them yourself?

Matt Murdock: How did you know?

Elektra: You don't look like a tough read.

Matt Murdock: You never know I could surprise you.

Elektra: Doubt it.

Matt Murdock: Give it a try.

Elektra: Okay, you drink Macallan because you're afraid beer would give you a frat boy vibe. You've never been inside a fraternity house. You weren't even a boy scout. There is no club you would join because it would choke the air from your lungs. You'd suffocate. Shall I go on?

Matt Murdock: Please do.

Elektra: Now you think we're flirting. Your mind's racing. You're wondering what piece of wit you can think of next. Know what your problem is? You're pretty, but dumb. Too dumb to know the game is already over and you lost before you stepped to the plate.

Matt Murdock: You got that all from a pair of wingtips?

Elektra: Quick study.

Matt Murdock: You know what I think?

Elektra: Tell me.

Matt Murdock: You're bored. Bored of the parties, the faculties, all of it.

Elektra: And I need just the right bad boy to take me away from all this. Is that it?

Matt Murdock: Basically.

Elektra: Know something, you're right. (takes drink and drinks it) Let's go.

Sementara dialog casting kedua ini sepertinya menunjukkan kenapa Elektra dan Murdock mengakhiri hubungan. Elektra jelas-jelas lebih brutal ketimbang partnernya.

Elektra: Easy. No moving. No talking. Right now we play a game called, "This is not a conversation." Sit on the bed.

Thug: Please, my pills, can I get them?

Elektra: The .38's gone. So is the knife you stashed under the pillow. Anything else I should know about?

Thug: I'm getting on a plane just like you said. Tickets on the counter.

Elektra: I saw, window seat and everything.

Thug: I told you before, you and your partner, it was a long time ago but...

Elektra: (makes a threatening move with weapon)

Thug: I'm sorry. I'm doing everything you told me to do. I'm leaving behind my whole operation.

Elektra: And when you get to wherever you're going on, I assume you set up shop doing the same sh*t you did here.

Thug: No.

Elektra: Hurting innocent people all because you're too lazy to get rich the hard way.

Thug: What the hell do you want from me?

Elektra: My partner was a good kid and became a hell of a grown up. But he had goodness in him, once upon a time. The way he tells it, he comes home one night and heard a blow dryer in the bathroom. Dinner's on the table. He waits a second, but he's starving - he's eats alone. Assumes she'll be out any minute - she'll be mad, but she'll understand. Always does. He's a good son. He goes to find her, blow dryer still on and there she is - brains on the god damn mirror!

Thug: Your partner, that woman was his mother? And he doesn't even know you're here, does he?

Elektra: Sometimes it is better off not knowing.

Thug: I'm old man, I don't have much time. I'll give you everything.

Elektra: There is no version of this where you walk out that door.

Thug: Please, lady.

Elektra: Call me that again and I'll cut your tongue out.

Thug: You promised you wouldn't kill me.

Elektra: He said he wouldn't kill you, but me, I never had goodness in me. (slow stabbing motion)

-----------------

Apakah kali ini Elektra akan memburu Daredevil untuk menuntut balas atas kematian Nobu di season 1? Atau ia justru akan membantu Daredevil menangani Punisher, yang memutuskan untuk memburunya? Kita lihat saja nanti, saat season 2 yang dinanti-nanti sudah dirilis!

Sambil menunggu, kamu bisa melihat dulu pertarungan Daredevil dengan Nobu yang brutal dan berdarah-darah.
