crazy how this was the whole show and nothing bad happened after!
DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN
S01 E01 : Heaven's Half Hour | dir. Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead
charlie cox is so unbelievably good as matt murdock. no matter my thoughts or feelings about anything else to do with born again, this will always remain the ultimate truth and i will always come back for him.
The instantaneous flip from grief to happiness when Heather walks in. He's finding having a therapist girlfriend so useful guys.
thinking about how karen was the only one to not question matt when he tells her about vanessa putting the hit on foggy.
he’s spent the entire season having the people around him (mostly heather and cherri) make him seem crazy, but karen is immediately ready to back him up as matt murdock AND as daredevil.
she’s matt’s anchor, he’s finally trusting her to take care of herself and letting her take care of him. in previous seasons he would’ve been so upset that she’s anywhere near the danger, but now he’s open with her, actively asking for her help and taking her advice and support.
i love them so much, your honour.
Let's go
Daredevil: Born Again 1x09 "Straight To Hell"
cutie patootie
this is so good
Gestures vaguely
I went to a family reunion today and had such a strange time?
i’m a tattoo apprentice and i have visible tattoos. it was absolutely wild how many times people just fully grabbed me to look at my tattoos without asking? I felt like i was being passed around like a side show attraction.
idk maybe it’s just me, but i don’t think having art on your skin gives someone the right to yoink your body parts for their inspection?
weird behavior tbh
i literally cannot stand sister maggie. i do not think she deserves forgiveness from matt. i know he has to give it to her to reconcile with his faith and everything, but the way she treats him especially at the start of s3? she’s so unhelpful and cruel.
sure, you could argue that it was “tough love”, and that he needed the push, but seriously there had to be better ways to go about it.
i know my takes can seem too black/white for what’s actually going on, but while i understand her character and the intricacies of the story, i really believe that she does not deserve his or our forgiveness.
maybe i just want to see matt loved in a way that doesn’t hurt…
matt: it’s okay, i can fight my way out of this
heather: matt, no
Matt: Yes I realize I have not processed any of my childhood trauma or my adult trauma. No I'm not gonna do anything about it
Am I the only one who really didn't take kindly to Foggy and Karen treating Matt like an addict for his Daredevil-ing? I don't think there is ever any mention about the dehumanizing effect that has on Matt. It makes it look like it is justified for Foggy and Karen to call Matt that because the writing made it want to look like he mainly goes out at night just because he's angry and likes taking out that anger on criminals/craving for violence when that's not the case. One of the main reasons he can't give up Daredevil is that his senses allows him to hear the cries for help from people every night. And doing nothing would eat away at the soul of anyone who has even an ounce of empathy in their heart, but most especially Matt who we saw drop everything even when he was in critical condition to save a little boy.
Additionally, Matt's suicide attempt in Season 3 was never addressed by anyone at all, or when he showed suicidal ideations in front of Karen during the scene with Jasper Evans and the show just proceeded like normal and focused more on having them be mad at Matt for being a bad friend and nothing more.
I suppose I'm just scratching my head at the kind of callous attitude by the show's writing of Foggy and Karen towards Matt's clear mental illness. This is not to say mental illness is an excuse for every behavior, but if the writers can have Karen showing empathy towards Frank Castle and his PTSD then they could have the same for Matt's friends for his obvious chronic depression and suicidal ideations.
our boy comes home so soon! hopefully beautifully bloodied and full catholic guilt!
