Me Every Time Matt Calls Karen Ms Page

on season 2 of making my mother watch daredevil;

she is OUTRAGED that they ditched the karen/foggy storyline. honestly i can’t blame her

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.

The heavy world's upon your shoulders, will we burn on or just smolder? Somehow, I know I'll find you there. Oh, you wanna see if you can change it (change it), still, I know I'll see you there.

↑ I put this verse but they all work, somehow (i wanted to do an even longer drawing at the beginning, sheesh).

Linking music with content is my absolute favorite thing to do. I did it with aftg, and also for trc with this post (muse!!) and obviously the animatic, which happens to have turned 1 year old very recently (happy birthday).

Anyway, I'll do a trc reread soon, last time was two years ago (!!), i've read extracts since but it won't do for much longer.

its nothing some ibuprofen and a blunt and 5 beers and a head injury and jacking off and killing myself cant fix

in honor of daredevil born again coming out i give you shitpost edits: matt murdock's two messy murder exes edition

(matt murdock human disaster edition)

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

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.'

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
