Why is Daredevil yellow?

After Daredevil’s appearance in She-Hulk was revealed, fans were very much disappointed by the change, believing the character looked goofy and weird. Defending the decision, showrunner Jessica Gao stated in an interview with Collider:

“He has such reverence and love for that character. It’s clear that the character meant so much to him, but he also came very game to play around. He was totally up for more funny banter and having this fun dynamic with Jen and She-Hulk. It really feels like the character from the comics.”
