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

yes! i miss when shows would have like 20 episode long seasons. like yes, give me that overarching plot line sure, but i want to see the in between stuff! courtroom scenes, mugging stoppings, flirting the pants off of people, frivolous parkour, dinner with clients families, i want all the filler please!!!

imagine complaining about ep 5 being filler. i want 40 minutes of matt murdock having dinner with the khan's - filler is good

anyway i love matt murdock, he’s a lying hypocrite with zero healthy coping skills and even less capacity for honest emotional relationships but goddamn it i love him

the new daredevil episode (7) just made me overwhelmingly sad.

He’s lying and hiding things again and it’s hurting him so much and it’s hurting heather so much and kristen and cherri too, and i’m sad about it.

i thought the scene with heather talking to him about his trauma and then them saying i love you was really sweet, and it hurts that it doesn’t feel real for him. i bet she’s going to figure it out soon though. (or die, idk)

him putting on the glasses as soon as the conversation got serious was a good nod to how he only knows how to rely on his masks.

i hope we can get a smidge of happiness in the next episode at least. don’t get me wrong i know the show is supposed to be a matt murdock whumpfest, and i love it, but i need a bit of happy or silly matt just to keep me going, ya know?

(even the shower scene, while hot asfuck, was sad. it was clearly him distracting her from the bruises so he could wait to talk about it when he wasn’t cornered)

No Notes

Self portrait I guess. Been a bit bedridden due to cfs and can’t stop thinking about them.

Daredevil: Born Again Excessive Force | 1.06

The instantaneous flip from grief to happiness when Heather walks in. He's finding having a therapist girlfriend so useful guys.

frank castle having a civilized interview with a therapist is objectively the funniest thing i can imagine.

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.

i am the type of person who flips to the back of a book first because i cannot stand when a story doesn’t have a happy ending

i am also the type of person who’s favorite character of all time is matthew murdock

unfortunately matthew murdock is the type of person who never gets any happy anything ever

tis a cruel twist of fate

(anyway, can’t wait to watch my shayla somehow get even more miserable and beat up!!!! cheers!!!!)

i believe him! (that bullet wound was probably just from tripping down some stairs)

matt murdock will stumble into work with 5 stab wounds, a black eye and a cut lip and his excuse will be like “I got run over by a boeing 747 idk im blind shit happens”

bro’s got so much ass it should have its own zip code jfc

this is literally how it happened fr

“HE GOT LIFE!”

“How ‘bout old Foggy? He get life?”

“Foggy… he was the kindest, purest soul I ever met”

“And guys like you and me, we can work a lifetime and never measure up to his decency”

now that the daredevil fandom is back up and swinging, i’m seeing a lot of ship discourse.

“that scene was all about mattfoggy, how could anyone think it’s fratt?”

“if they try to make karedevil a thing i’m going to riot”

“kastle is obviously better than karedevil”

personally, i think they should all just be allowed to kiss each other.

every episode has me even more impressed by and grateful for this man. he really is The Matt Murdock. he carries so hard.

This is facts and I really need some respect placed on Charlie's name, he is the lifeblood of this franksteined season and is doing a lot of the work to make it compelling and worthwhile to watch.

And his range! In the last episode alone, his comedic timing on his response to the Skrull line, his charm when he was negotiating with the prosecutor, and then his heart-wrenching delivery during his conversation about Foggy.

His performance as Matt this season is like his excellence in the Netflix show but on steroids since he needs to do a lot more carrying for a show with a troubled production. I can write a whole 100000 word essay on the nuances of his acting in these 4 episodes so far. He's so good.

Like what this tweet says. He's making a lot of silly-sounding dialogue seem so earnest and believable, that's talent.

Just a Charlie Cox acting appreciation post because man he deserves one

Looking back at episode 4, in addition to Matt Murdock starting to understand Frank Castle’s view on morality due to Foggy’s murder, it looks like Frank is also starting to understand Matt’s viewpoint. Because even though he claims to not care about the Punisher cultist cops, it’s clear that he’s bothered by it. And, of course, Matt’s speech about Foggy’s decency and good character clearly got to Frank.

It’s interesting. Matt is starting to understand why Frank has such a black-and-white view on people. While he wants to believe that there’s good in everyone, there’s people like Bullseye who don’t deserve anyone’s pity. Meanwhile, Frank is starting to understand why Matt tries to see the good in everyone and why he chooses to be a hero. He’s bothered by the legacy he’s creating with the Punisher cult and he understands why Foggy was so important to Matt as a pillar of decency. It’s like he realized at the moment that he was the bad guy. Foggy inspired people to do good, he was inspiring people to do evil.

This almost feels like a continuation of the rooftop scene in DD season 2. But instead of yelling at each other and being all stubborn with their beliefs, they’re coming to an understanding. Now, obviously, this doesn’t mean Matt’s gonna start killing people and Frank is gonna take a vow of non-violence. But the two of them understanding each other and why they believe what they believe is a good angle to develop their characters.

Also, based on the BTS photos, this would explain why they’re fine with teaming up in the latter half of the season. DD season 2 Matt and Frank wouldn’t team up unless they absolutely had to. DDBA Matt and Frank, I can see them tolerating each other more.

he was his other half!!!!! they were nelson and murdock!!!! brb sobbing.

The way he didn’t call Foggy his friend or his brother or whatever… he called him his partner… because that’s exactly who he is and was.

My mattfoggy heart is crying screaming throwing up

this is so true! i also think it was really hard for frank to see matt like that. like his fire had gone out. he does have respect for daredevil, and seeing him so broken must have been so disconcerting.

even saying all the terrible pointed things he said, you could see how wounded frank was.

No but the way Frank didn’t want Matt to leave, thinking of sth new to say every time he turned to walk out and then looking empty af once Matt actually left??? Frank‘s so damn lonely, sitting in that dark basement surrounded by only guns, hit maps and the memories of his family. 😭

Matt's little :] to hide the barely contained violence and rage and grief that's vibrating under his skin at a frequency that would register on a richter scale is everything to me actually

how are we thinking matt explained his scars to heather? or do we think she hasn’t asked? i assume she thinks he got them growing up in the orphanage or something but idk.

another week, another episode of matt being unreasonably hot

matt and frank’s relationship is so important to me. the way that they understand one another on such a deep level, but they want so badly not to.

i love it when these middle aged men get babygirlified

Hello, Red.

chat what does it mean when you’re too obsessed with something that it makes you feel physically ill when you see it?

i see a picture or a line from daredevil and it genuinely makes me feel nauseous bc i care too much about it 😭😭😭

do i need a tolerance break or smthn???

its still so fucking funny that those two cops got their shit absolutely demolished by a lawyer with no light perception and they just shrugged and went

There was something heartfelt, something deep and intimate about Hector's story of that beach. I got a feeling that the fact that Matt's blind was very important to Hector, so he actually chirped the sound of the frogs to Matt. It was the most important thing about Puerto Rico that Matt needed to know

Not how it looked, but how it sounded and how it felt

i thought he was hot in the og series but he has become the worlds hottest dilf

Charlie Cox in Daredevil: Born Again - S01E03

i love the idea of the writers being like “mwahaha then the viewers will think FRANK killed Hector” and then literally not one single person watching believes it was actually frank for a single second.
