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.

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

daredevil using ‘Everything in its Right Place’ by radiohead was perfect.

i haven’t stopped thinking about it since the episode dropped and i get chills every time.

it perfectly captures the emotions and story and movement that is happening and it’s just so perfect i cant even articulate how good of an artistic decision it was. i wish to personally kiss whoever chose it directly on the mouth.

⚔️ Saint Matthew ⚔️

finally learning how to paint digitally, I feel so evolved

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

Daredevil vol. 4 #13 by Mark Waid, Chris Samnee, Matthew Wilson, and Joe Caramagna

I've talked before about the degree to which Kirsten, as a character, is in conversation with the tradition of women in Daredevil comics—and, in fact, with the history of superhero love interests as a whole, which is a theme Mark Waid tends to enjoy examining (for my Flash readers: Kirsten shares many traits with Waid's rendition of Linda Park). She is independent, she is strong-willed, and she takes up space within the story beyond the boundaries of her relationship with the hero. She even says aloud, directly on-panel, that she does not want to be relegated to the role of "Daredevil's girlfriend"—meaning, of course, within her life and world, but it's also a statement of intent from the creative team. Here, we get possibly my favorite story element highlighting this autonomy: the fact that Kirsten has her own enemies from her life as a successful lawyer, long before she met Matt.

This particular issue is all about the echoes of Matt's bloody dating history and how he is choosing to deal with that now that he is in a relationship again, particularly now that he has a public identity. Another theme of this run is Matt healing and trying to move on from past traumas, and one way it does this is through light-hearted, jokey elements being overlaid onto very serious topics: Matt's famous "I'm Not Daredevil" shirt from volume 3 is one example, and this scene is another. I've also talked before about the particular parallels between Kirsten and Milla (another character who was, at least initially, created to engage with and subvert DD love interest tropes). Kirsten is doing something here that we saw Milla do as well: downplaying the seriousness of Matt's fears for her safety. There are two levels to this: an understanding of why Matt is so afraid (Kirsten wasn't there, but we, having read those issues, know exactly what he is scared of), but also a joy, at least for me, in something Kirsten always does so well, which is to undermine Matt's self-important posturing, drag him down off his Angsting Perch (you know the one), and force him to genuinely engage with life and the people around him. Kirsten is not supposed to be thrilled to have had her life threatened, that is not in the established script, and it upsets Matt, but the fact of the matter is that she's fine (in a way Milla was not allowed to be), and even better, she's had the chance to get one up on Matt by being attacked by someone whose interest is in her, not him! I love Kirsten having her own arch-foe. I love how smug she is about it. I want her to have a whole rogues gallery.

daredevil is the first real tumblr fandom experience i’ve ever had, and it has been so fun! i love talking to people about headcanons and interpretations and everything under the sun, bc i care about and love dd so so much and i love sharing that love with people.

i feel super privileged to have joined right around when born again was in the works, so i’ve gotten to experience the pre born again era as well as the excitement of the new show coming out.

recently however, i’ve seen people being super hostile about other people’s opinions about the show, mostly regarding ships? maybe that’s normal for fandom behavior, but it’s so much less fun in my opinion.

i’m a big proponent for live and let live, ya know? i love seeing everyone be excited about their ships and hcs. i have to believe it’s possible to like something and express that without putting down another thing.

sorry for being complainy on main lol, i’m still getting my footing around here.

absolutely obsessed with the dynamic between Matt and Frank it's gotta be one of my favorite character dynamics of all time. Frank kills people as a hobby and Matt has never killed in his life. they can't have a conversation without cursing each other out. they trust each other enough to hold one another as they jump off a building. they physically fight more often than not. Frank has seen Matt's bare ass. they're both in love with the same woman who respects herself too much to hook up with either one of them. Matt is a Catholic who believes every soul can be saved except for his own and Frank doesn't think either of theirs needs to be. can anybody hear me is this thing on

Which is the greater, more devastating MCU New York tragedy:

Loki's Invasion during The Avengers,

or

Matt Murdock having his ass out as he walked home from the hospital but it's during a blackout so no one got the privilege of seeing the devil's cake?

I know my answer 🤷🏻‍♀️

(To give an idea of what New York couldn't see 💔 Extensive evidence below: )

When Karen comes back, Matt gets softer, more quiet, and yeah, sure, he's in a lot of pain, so it could be that, but Karen is back and she actually listens to him about the hit on foggy, she believes him and helps. She doesn't make him feel insane and try to shut him down.

Matt's life is in shambles once again but he'd rather have this than continue to live in the fake purgatory he was floating through. Karen comes back and Matt starts to feel real again.

objectively i understand why kirsten and heather didn’t believe matt when talking about vanessa being responsible for foggy’s death (they’ve been watching him actively spiral for the last few months) but karen just taking him for his word had me soooo emotional

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"

“This is our city, not his. And we CAN take it back”

“Resist. Rebel. Rebuild.”

What an interesting and not at all culturally relevant thing to say Matthew

tell me why my delusional ass kept expecting to see foggy in one of those cages

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 😗

If…if his apartment is trashed will he have to move to his old one?

Guys 🥹 Karen convinced him not to throw his life away. She reminded him of something beautiful he'd said once, and she said 'Trust me. We'll find another way.' And Matt said 'Okay.'

"What about you? Aftershave and a haircut. That all for me?" gay sex would fix them actually.

Two (2) Matties because I like him

Her saying she knows him…the forehead kiss…I am deceased!!!!

okay but i basically guessed 1 out of 2 of these correctly.

ddba episode 9 tonight!

can’t wait for matt, karen and frank to kiss each other on the mouths and for foggy to be alive!

I can’t believe that Matt Murdock, Karen Page, and Frank Castle had an onscreen threesome in the season one finale of Daredevil: Born Again…

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.

daredevil born again s1 is done!

(spoilers)

-so… all of s1 was just a prologue for s2? we’re just. not gonna tie up any of the storyline like at all? coolcoolcoolcool no that’s totally fine! (i’m gonna cry)

-karen and matt are so dear to me idc. i love them.

-frank why tf did you do that like be so fr. karen would not be pleased

-whyyyy can heather not understand how horrible fisk is. she’s supposed to be smart! it feels like it’s just to spite matt at this point i mean come onnn.

-i was looking forward to the bb and gallo team up but now that’s never gonna happen LMAO
