making my mom watch daredevil with me, and during the second episode she goes;
“i feel like everyone could be a love interest, he seems like he really gets around”.
she doesn’t know anything about dd but she clocked matt’s whoreishness IMMEDIATELY.
"In another life, you may be defending me. That's what a good man does. Defends his worst enemy" you don't fucking understand how hard that line goes when you know that Dex isn't Matt's worst enemy. Fisk is. And Matt defended his worst enemy. Because that's what a good man does
that “FUCK you” came from the foggy shaped hole in his heart
matt slouching at the diner counter
matt keeping the memorial card in his breast pocket
matt changing his glasses like karen said to
the little pieces that tell us he’s fracturing
matt denying himself the comfort of his faith
matt denying himself an outlet for his rage, for his grief.
matt actively repressing multiple aspects of himself
he is a ticking time bomb.
can’t wait for born again!! i am so excited for nothing bad to happen at all!! it’s actually just going to be matt and his friends being silly and having fun!!! maybe winning some court cases!!! noTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN !!!!
i have my hopes set so unreasonably high for a frank/matt team up in born again. i love their dynamic so much, i can’t wait to see them yell at each other some more 🥰
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"
#you’re telling me This^^ is who people call The Devil ????
Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock - Daredevil Season 2
i loved episodes 5/6. they had me smiling and shouting at my screen the whole time. you know, like a crazy person. here are my two cents, lmk your thoughts.
(spoilers below)
episode 5 thoughts
-tbh i would love a series of just matt/daredevil stopping crime throughout the city. no big overarching story, just slice of life vigilantism. i want to see him break people’s faces then go and have dinner with the khans.
-him whistling when he went back in and just overall being a smartass the whole time was so very matt coded and i loved it
-yesssss please give us matt cracking more safes, it’s so sexy of him
-also another stairwell fight for the books. amen.
-i always find it so strange when matt gets his ass almost beat by Regular Thugs, or even Regular Thugs who can Fight. my guy has taken down entire gangs by himself while half dead with only God and a hallway on his side. you expect me to believe some irish guy can give him a run for his money? not a chance.
episode 6 thoughts:
-MATT IS PRAYING AGAIN. it makes me think about season three when he embraces the daredevil identity over matt murdock and says “even god can’t stop that now”. now it feels like he’s praying for god to stop it.
-THE FOGGY MEMORIAL CARD KISS!!!???? my heart broke somehow even more.
-heather absolutely has to know something about matt isn’t quite right. she’s a smart lady and he is a walking bundle of trauma. he’s got scars, a gap filled history, so much loss, and he brushes off a hostage situation like it’s no biggie? i wonder if she’s going to figure it out on her own.
-angela, oh my goodness. shes so wonderful. she’s exactly what matt needs to cut through the bullshit, but i need her to stay safe omg stop going into dangerous situations please.
-the fight with muse was so good. up until now some of the fight scenes have been alright, if not a bit stilted. the fridge one was good, but the muse fight was so good. i could’ve done without the cuts to the fisk and adam one though, i understand why they did it but i don’t have to like it.
-i’m still having a hard time getting through the fisk scenes. i just can’t really bring myself to care enough about him unfortunately. i think he’s important to the plot, but a lot feels drawn out for no real reason.
-matt saying “i’m here” in reference to daredevil and looking so (defeated? relieved?). he knows if he’s called the police instead that she’d be dead. the prayer overlapping the cpr was so so much.
-“fuck it”. when i tell you i gasped
-ahhh yes. matt actively going against cherry telling him not to get involved. there’s the daredevil we know and love.
-i actually am going to need frank to shoot all of those cops and fisk and muse directly in the face. please and thank you.
