@oh-tobeafrog thank you for inspiring me with this galaxy brain take on my two favorite marvel heroes :)

a lot can be said about matt murdock’s mental health, if the person who had to give him a therapy talk was frank castle instead of his therapist girlfriend.
Am I the only one who really didn't take kindly to Foggy and Karen treating Matt like an addict for his Daredevil-ing? I don't think there is ever any mention about the dehumanizing effect that has on Matt. It makes it look like it is justified for Foggy and Karen to call Matt that because the writing made it want to look like he mainly goes out at night just because he's angry and likes taking out that anger on criminals/craving for violence when that's not the case. One of the main reasons he can't give up Daredevil is that his senses allows him to hear the cries for help from people every night. And doing nothing would eat away at the soul of anyone who has even an ounce of empathy in their heart, but most especially Matt who we saw drop everything even when he was in critical condition to save a little boy.
Additionally, Matt's suicide attempt in Season 3 was never addressed by anyone at all, or when he showed suicidal ideations in front of Karen during the scene with Jasper Evans and the show just proceeded like normal and focused more on having them be mad at Matt for being a bad friend and nothing more.
I suppose I'm just scratching my head at the kind of callous attitude by the show's writing of Foggy and Karen towards Matt's clear mental illness. This is not to say mental illness is an excuse for every behavior, but if the writers can have Karen showing empathy towards Frank Castle and his PTSD then they could have the same for Matt's friends for his obvious chronic depression and suicidal ideations.
matthew murdock thinks his life is less valuable than fisk’s.
someone needs to sedate me immediately.
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

at first I was disappointed with the lack of catholicism UNTIL we got Matt outside the church right at THAT part of the mass
"I'm not worthy to enter under thy roof"
crazy how this was the whole show and nothing bad happened after!

no canon fact will ever be as funny as ronan saying fuck it and going ham for six days a week, then slinking into church every sunday and apologizing to God for being so cocky, just to do it all over again
