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
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.
andrew minyard character of all time. he's toxic. he doesn't talk to cops. he has an identical twin brother and they hate each other. he made his identical twin brother promise not to have any other friends and then doesn't even talk to him. he might be a misogynist. his only friends are a born-again lesbian who can beat him up, the runaway son of a yakuza-affiliated serial killer, and his therapist. he's a student athlete. he hates sports. he killed his mother. he's a Mean Girl who runs his friend group like a cult. he's a crim major for the bit. he has an eidetic memory. he's petty. he likes to get people gifts. he does coke sometimes but says it doesn't have any effect on him because he has too many mental illnesses. he's the love interest. he doesn't smile. he was right about wwiii. y2k goth. repeatedly risks his life to help people in situations that have absolutely nothing to do with him and says it's out of boredom. when they picked him up from the psych ward he got in the driver's seat and blasted screamo the whole ride back and didn't say a single word to anyone. oh my god he is exactly five feet tall. he's even gay
i'm SO laid back, i only care about like 3 things in the world:
my favorite fictional characters and music
every person on this earth and their opinion of me
the crushing psychological weight of being alive
lowkey gonna need to rewatch every episode. i got too distracted by how violently sexy he is.
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.
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
