Elektra is a 2005 film directed by Rob Bowman, and a spinoff of the 2003 Daredevil film, with Jennifer Garner reprising her role from that film as the titular character.After being killed in Daredevil, Elektra Natchios is revived by a blind martial arts master called Stick (Terence Stamp). She is brought to his training compound, but is soon expelled because of her inability to let go of her rage and fear from seeing her mother's killer as a child. She leaves and uses her training to become a contract killer, but becomes reluctant to carry out a hit on Mark (Goran Višnjić) and Abby Miller (Kirsten Prout).In helping them escape, Elektra learns that Mark and Abby are not as normal as they appear to be. As she faces off against The Hand, an organization that seeks to capture Abby because she is the sacred "Treasure," Elektra soon learns that Kirigi (Will Yun Lee), a member and top assassin of The Hand leading a group of powerful followers, was sent to kill her mother when Elektra was only a child.In an unexpected announcement in 2023, Jennifer Garner is set to reprise her role as Elektra in the upcoming third Deadpool movie.

 Elektra / int_1779f10e
comment
"Well Done, Son" Guy: There is a lot of needing fathers' approval subtext going on in the movie. Elektra on some level seems to want Stick's approval. Kirigi seeks his father Roshi's approval. It can even be read that Abby wants her father's approval. When the title of the movie is Elektra you have to expect some father issues.

Senseless Sacrifice: McCabe's You Shall Not Pass!. Heroic or not, it doesn't harm or kill any of the villains nor buy much time for the others escape. In fact, Kirigi simply reads his mind to find out where Elektra and the Millers have gone, which wouldn't have been possible if he had just gone with them in the first place.

Aborted Arc: Elektra seems to have forgotten that somewhere in the world is a bald Irish man named Bullseye who killed her and her father. In fact it isn't even brought up at all despite it being the reason she came back to life in the first place. Though it could well be that she believes he is dead, and she has enough trouble on her plate as it is with the Hand and her own personal demons.

Character Development
 Elektra / int_3b113b7
comment
Character Development: Elektra starts out cold and angry about her tragedies in ''Daredevil', the loss of her family, her murder and separation from Matt, having a violent rage when she goes too far with fighting members of the Chaste, before being banished for her imbalance by Stick. She went on to become an assassin, before eventually meeting the Millers and seeing their kindness towards her, seeing them as human beings, and is unable to assassinate them afterward. Instead she goes on to risk her life protecting them from the Hand, and by the end of the movie after successfully protecting them and avenging her mother, she has calmed down a great deal, more freely displaying emotion and is at peace with herself and her past. Reconciling with her old mentor Stick in the process.

Secret Test of Character: Stick is implied to have done one to Elektra after banishing her from the Chaste for her violent anger by being the one who hired her to assassinate the Millers in the first place, but secretly had her wait on the island and meet them for a couple days before receiving their identities as her targets. Because she spent some time with them, seeing them as the kind people they were, she found herself unable to go through with assassinating them, instead protecting them from the Hand when it came after them and going back to Stick and the Chaste for help with doing so.

Contrasting Sequel Main Character
 Elektra / int_517d2eb8
comment
Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Though Elektra first appeared in Daredevil, the film explores her own story that is similar yet different from Matt's. Both are about a character who wears red whose life went downhill after a parent's death. Matt was self-taught in his fighting by "watching" his father and using his senses since he was 12. Elektra, before her death, was taught by a different sensei each year since she was 5 and developed her powers as part of her resurrection as an adult. Both are still haunted by their parents' deaths and learn though a seemingly-unrelated situation involving mercenaries and protecting a parent and daughter from them who the killer is. Matt failed to save Elektra and her father, while Elektra only barely saved Abby with those same mystical abilities. Matt decided Wilson Fisk wasn't worth killing, while Elektra doesn't give Kirigi the same treatment as she had become a professional assassin instead of a hero.

Adaptational Badass: This version of Elektra has a number of powers and abilities she didn't display either in the previous movie or in the comics themselves up to the point of this movie's release. This includes the ability of precognition, astral projection/telepathic communication and healing/resurrection powers. It is unknown what the exact nature of these powers are, but the supernatural is implied to be at play, related to her resurrection and Stick's training her in Kimagure. Though she did gain precognition and telepathic communication in the comics a few months after the movie, probably inspired by this depiction of her, along with other powers over time.

Bullseye and Kirigi are both mercenaries who murdered one of Elektra's parents. Bullseye was an Irish Large Ham who loves murder and tries to accost Elektra during their fight while Kirigi is stoic, showing no attraction to Elektra. Bullseye was bald and wore an all black leather ensemble, Kirigi has long hair and wore a white martial arts gi. Both do manage to get under her skin by bringing up her murdered loved ones, but the only main difference in the end is Kirigi ends up getting gutted, while Bullseye is still alive somewhere.

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist
 Elektra / int_a3515d6
comment
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Compare and contrast Roshi and Kirigi to Kingpin and Bullseye in Daredevil. Kingpin and Roshi are each a Corrupt Corporate Executive and are the Man Behind the Man, although unlike Kingpin, Roshi does not get involved in a fight with Elektra, being too busy leading The Hand from Japan. He also lacks any personal vendetta with Elektra that Kingpin did with murdering Matt's father. Bullseye and Kirigi are both mercenaries who murdered one of Elektra's parents. Bullseye was an Irish Large Ham who loves murder and tries to accost Elektra during their fight while Kirigi is stoic, showing no attraction to Elektra. Bullseye was bald and wore an all black leather ensemble, Kirigi has long hair and wore a white martial arts gi. Both do manage to get under her skin by bringing up her murdered loved ones, but the only main difference in the end is Kirigi ends up getting gutted, while Bullseye is still alive somewhere.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Despite all the struggle she goes through, Elektra manages to protect the Millers from the Hand, making a deal that ensures they will not be targeted any longer, defeats and kills the Big Bad Kirigi and his band of followers, along with avenging her mother and Abby's in the process. She also reconciles with Stick, having learned her lesson, parting ways with him on good terms, and mellows out from the rage she had been carrying around inside her at the loss of her family and her own death and resurrection, at peace with all that transpired. In the end she vows to find the Millers again in the future, before departing for further adventures. The ending is surprisingly upbeat, and clearly just what Elektra needed after her Downer Ending in Daredevil.

The Corrupter: Despite not being mentioned in anyway, Bullseye is this to Elektra. His murder of her father and Elektra herself made her extremely aggressive. She's become a mercenary, just like him, only she's very stoic and distanced. In Daredevil, she was a more well-adjusted person capable of having a normal life. Though by the end of this movie Elektra has undergone a good deal of Character Development, mellowed out, losing her rage and regaining her humanity and inner peace.
