god that karen backstory ep introduced so many more layers to kastle and frank wasn't even mentioned my goddddd

karen deferring college so she can stay and take care of her dead mother's failing diner for her father. karen losing her father to grief after her brother dies. karen never getting close to frank like she wants to because of his grief. "you can't keep loving people in your dreams" karen as the second choice. do you understand what im sayingggggg

When Scarlett Johansson joined the Marvel universe all the way back in 2010, she did not have the ability that current actresses in the franchise have now and that is the ability to be seen as a valuable member of the team as opposed to an accessory.

My girl was being sexualised at every single interview, being asked if she wore underwear under her black widow suit and even being groped by interviewers. Natasha’s background was only slightly explored and her fighting style consisted of wrapping her legs around men’s heads in order to further appeal the male audience.

Yelena has the story arc she has and the ability to grow as a character because Scarlett fought for her to when she was producing the Black Widow movie. It makes me so upset that she knew she would never get the superhero experience that the men around her had, so she put aside her own spotlight in order to give Florence the standing that she couldn’t have.

I will not accept Natasha slander because Scarlett put everything she had into that character for a decade and had to go through so much just to be a part of that franchise.

what doesn't kill you makes you weird at intimacy

the thing about kastle is that yeah they formed this strong unspoken bond and she'll blow up her life for him and he'll take bullets for her but we know they haven't even reached their peak when he finds out how deep her dad trauma goes oh that's a wrap he's falling into her arms right then and there

i do love listmaking…

THE PUNISHER | 1.02 — Two Dead Men

Okay, for the record, I hate love triangles. It's one of my least favourite tropes, but that's obviously where the writers want to take Matt, Frank and Karen so we just have to deal (and inevitable fix the mess with fanfic).

I've seen some posts on here arguing for Karedevil and for Kastle, but I haven't really seen the arguments constructed in terms of what it means narratively for the person Karen doesn't choose, and IMHO that's what the writers of the show should be concentrating on.

If Karen doesn't choose Matt...he'd be fine. Eventually. He'd get over it. He's gotten over losing people before, and he's always bounced back and found someone else. There's been Clair, and Karen, and Elektra and Heather...

The boy gets around. He's charming and handsome and while he's obviously not great boyfriend material in the show, he gets the ladies again and again.

Frank is very, very different. The show has set him up to be a family man without a family. He loves deeply - so deeply that it breaks him - and he's so hesitant about being with someone again that he'd rather live alone and in pain than risk that kind of heartbreak.

But he loves Karen. And she's been set up as his 'After'. The thing that would pull him out of his destructive life as the Punisher, if only he had the courage to accept her and her love.

So what happens to him if Karen chooses Matt? Sure, he's always tried to push her onto Matt, but it's a way to protect himself. To put up a barrier between them. If she actually chose Matt...that would condemn Frank to a life of being nothing more than the Punisher. He will spend the rest of his (inevitably) short life alone and hurt, chewing painkillers in a bunker. And I think that's incredibly sad.

It would probably satisfy the comic fanboys who just want a Punisher that kills and kills and kills...but for the narrative arc of Frank Castle, it would just be so sad.

And such a waste.

so now that they’ve confirmed that jessica jones is back for season 2 of born again…what are the chances we get scenes of her matt and frank being dumbasses together???

sorry but karen watching frank sleep hits every one of my buttons

daredevil + shitposts: born again edition
