slight daredevil born again spoilers below:
okay i literally was so excited for this episode after how insane episode eight was but tbh… it was kinda mid? obviously it was absolutely insane and violent for disney and i LOVED THAT… but hitting the mid credit scene and realizing that it was all building up to basically nothing more (for season one) was slightly disappointing, especially considering that we have to wait a year or more until season 2… it was just a build up to the next season and didn’t really do much in the end for this one. last ten to fifteen minutes of the episode i was waiting for something to happen and nothing did. still a decent show, 7.5/10 for me, but honestly i wanted like a little bit more substance to the finale 😗
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.

Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock - Daredevil Season 2
remember the end of season 2 when Frank's sniping ninjas off that rooftop and Matt's dramatic bitch ass doesn't have his mask/cowl on? yeah
(ok i KNOW Frank clocked that Matt was Daredevil in the courtroom, it's one of my favorite little moments from this entire immaculate series, but i made this to make my dad laugh when he first watched season 2. and it still make me chuckle. so)
forgot that inside that icon there’s still a young girl from new york
and he walks like a bitch too
bloody matt murdock the man that you are

Matt Murdock strolling into a bank robbery whistling cheerfully, acting confused about what's happening, and then accusing the robbers of ableism when they try to release him is everything I've ever wanted. No more dark and edgy shit I just want twenty more episodes of this
