late secret santa gift for my lovely friend @scienceoftheidiot  I know this took forever, i hope you like it! 

slight daredevil born again spoilers below:

okay i literally was so excited for this episode after how insane episode eight was but tbh… it was kinda mid? obviously it was absolutely insane and violent for disney and i LOVED THAT… but hitting the mid credit scene and realizing that it was all building up to basically nothing more (for season one) was slightly disappointing, especially considering that we have to wait a year or more until season 2… it was just a build up to the next season and didn’t really do much in the end for this one. last ten to fifteen minutes of the episode i was waiting for something to happen and nothing did. still a decent show, 7.5/10 for me, but honestly i wanted like a little bit more substance to the finale 😗

this is also so matt murdock coded

"You're losing blood" no I know exactly where it is. The floor. Don't ever underestimate me.

Matt Murdock strolling into a bank robbery whistling cheerfully, acting confused about what's happening, and then accusing the robbers of ableism when they try to release him is everything I've ever wanted. No more dark and edgy shit I just want twenty more episodes of this

The Matt and Karen vs Vanessa and Fisk of it all

Not me not shutting up as usual.

It's pretty evident that Karen and Matt vs Fisk and Vanessa are meant to be seen as units when it comes to parallels and foils.

This gets more in line with Karedevil because thematically and writing wise is what makes more sense. If that bothers you, please don't read it.

Vanessa and Fisk do love each other but they love nothing else. Their love makes them even worse people, it makes them more selfish, more brutal, more unrelenting.

Vanessa kills Adam (that, like Frank is right in the middle of the shot) because she knows Fisk won't do it so she will. For him. For them.

Theorically, we were also meant to see the flip side of that and I believe (again nin shipper, I'm just being objective here) that Karen and Matt are there representation of that.

In just a few minutes Karen got to show Matt that, like Foggy, she sees all of him (and it was left implied that like Foggy she loves all of him) but the main difference here is that she pushes Matt to be better, she forgives him his transgressions and loves him in spite of them.

But Karen is one of the reasons Matt went through one of his biggest character arcs (the one of letting people in). She made him see he wasn't alone, that he he has her, and I think she probably regrets having left.

But I do think Vanessa and Fisk are meant to show the dark side of love while Matt and Karen are the representation of the light, healthy side of that love. Potentially, even though Karen obviously has feelings for Frank.

Both foil each other, contrast each other and parallel each other. I believe this is meant to establish them as THE couples of the story, but for different reasons.

I think is disingenuous to believe that they'd get Matt and Karen together just due to the comics. There's enough textual and visual cues on both the Netflix and Disney parts of this that lead me see that as possibility.

Matt Murdock to himself, at literally any given moment in DDBA:

people who draw/write jake as the 'evil alter' are insane. this guy??? friend guy????? the most caring and kind alter????? leave him alone.

Matt standing in the courtroom staring at the bench like he’s in church and it’s the alter!!!!!

Matt sitting in the gallery like it’s a pew!!!!!!!!!!!!!

once again thinking about matt murdock’s absolute bear paws and arms.

(i’m constantly thinking about matt murdock’s absolute bear paws and arms.)

My favorite thing is that "Human Disater Matt Murdock" is a super common tag on both tumblr and ao3.org

But seriously:

He has horrible luck with women

Parkour is his main mode of transportation

He probably only sleeps 2 hours a day

He spends all his money buying his canes in bulk from Costco or some shit

He has a severe lack of self-preservation

He has exactly 2 friends who are tired of his shit 97% of the time

He thinks dumpster diving is appropriate when he has open wounds and the dumpster is filled with all of the types of bacteria known to man

He thinks it's a good idea to repeatedly antagonize Wilson Fisk

It's a wonder this man made it through 3 seasons, goddammit Matthew
