This clip is from the original season 1 of the TV show "Daredevil". In the scene, Daredevil is waking up from a fight where he got majorly injured, and doesn't know where he is. This adds to the rhetoric of realism, as Daredevil reacts to anyone else who doesn't know where they are, and acts like a real person, despite his superhuman abilities. This shows how all disabled people are normal, and just like able-bodied people, which somewhat resists the idea of the super-crip. But also, the reactions from the person he is talking to sounds like pity, although it is more due to his injuries than to his blindness.
