Papercastl - Love At First Gunshot

THE PUNISHER | 1.10 — Virtue of the Vicious

do you ever just think about frank and karen in dds2, tps1&2, and now ddba, and think, damn—

what i would like out of the "triangle" is frank to start internally pushing back on the matt/good me/bad dichotomy he's been clinging to these past 6 years. conscious of it or not he uses matt as a bumper between him and karen when he thinks karen is getting too close ("almost took the shot/may i ask why you didn't?/you never lie to me/does he?") or in the hospital she tells him she'll love him despite the corpses that keep piling up around him ("maria knew what i was and she loved me anyway.") and her overtures get shut down with a ("does that matt murdock know you're here?")

except 6 years later and just the sight of karen and matt in proximity together is stirring up his jealousy. i think he could rationalize it at first but the softer, loving side of frank that is dying at being shoved down and forced to live in a murder bunker is going to start reminding him of all the grace and acceptance karen has offered and maybe? hopefully? start to see himself from her perspective.

how it feels to wake up with “i heard your heartbeats”

They're yearning! They're pining! These loud obnoxious wordy motherfuckers who normally won't fucking shut up can barely string two words together when they're in the same room! We are SO BACK

okay.

karen page and frank castle in the same room no one talk to me karen page and frank castle looking at each other fondly heartbeats racing no one talk to me karen page calling frank castle on the phone she has his phone number after moving across the country for a year no one talk to me NO ONE TALK TO ME

also not to still Accountant 2 post BUT the scene where Jon Bernthal/Braxton is rehearsing in the mirror and swearing and running around holding his gun hyping himself up and it’s all, the audience finds out, just to be more assertive with a dog breeder on the phone because he wanted to pick up his corgi puppy two weeks early…when I say I cried real tears in the theater I was laughing so hard…Jason Todd is that you??

also more hilarious moments: Braxton asking a woman why she’d say “don’t hurt me” and blustering out the door offended she’d think that and he’s literally stepping over dead bodies of random men as he leaves….iconic.

Two massive guys (Braxton and Christian) sleeping in one tiny airstream bed and it wasn’t played for laughs?? They’re brothers???

Braxton’s “is it me?” speech actually crushed me a little.

Christian gaming the dating app algorithm and then getting in trouble with the event organizers had me DYING.
