"Beat the daylights out of someone" = đánh cho ai không còn nhìn thấy ánh sáng mặt trời -> cụm này nghĩa là đánh ai rất nhiều và làm họ bị thương nghiêm trọng.

Ví dụ
Emmett told Brandon his idea, to which Brandon called dumb, and they enlisted Reg to help. Reg and his crew stopped the track coach while he was driving to the school, beat the daylights out of him, and stole his car. They wanted to “send a message” to him.

The supervisor, Brown said, then pulled the boy from bed and "beat the daylights" out of him. Brown, who said the cracking sounds of that beating still haunt him, said the supervisor scooped up the boy, who was making gurgling sounds, and left after ordering the blood cleaned up.

In the video, Kwesta is minding his business, walking out of a tavern (quán rượu, quán trọ) when he's attacked by a group of men who chase him and beat the daylights out of him. He's given a superpower by a mysterious character, and in true superhero fashion, gets to serve revenge to the people who attacked him prior.
