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

[zellergraham]

They actually made Matt say the words “my best friend is dead” like they are SICK

[zellergraham]

[zellergraham]

i know there's gonna be new or returning fans on the dash investing in the new show and im letting y'all know now that Foggy Nelson the Heart and Soul of Daredevil is not to be slandered. This is me firing 2 gunshots into the air to keep the tourists scared. Get off my lawn with your Foggy hate you're not welcome here

the visual of matt walking into the empty courtroom and sitting in one of the audience pews, sunlight streaming through the windows, choral music playing. absolutely phenomenal framing of the courtroom as a church.

[zellergraham]

we're so back

[zellergraham]

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

[zellergraham]

Would you open the door for him?

i feel like some of you are unable to wrap your heads around matt being a flawed person beyond "uwu my flawed traumatized baby"

he lies, he's reckless, he wrongs and disrespects the people he cares about, he's a hypocrite of the highest order, he decides that sometimes he knows best and that he is right to bulldoze over the motivations of other people.

after outing ayala as the white tiger in court — which i do think is in-character, he's a great lawyer but he's known to take risks and allow his daredevil-ness to bleed into how he presents his clients — he tries to moralize to hector with borrowed lines from maggie. matt, with his current rejectionist viewpoint on vigilantism, thinks he has done hector a favor by making it impossible or hard for him to be white tiger. he makes false equivalencies and says things that he knows are bullshit because he's deluding himself.

despite all his altruism (which he is currently going on a year of suppressing), matt is a spectacularly self-centered person. it's an argument he and foggy had multiple times. but as the audience, we can see the extent of it in a way that foggy can't: matt filters the world around him through the ways he thinks about himself. vigilantism lost matt his best friend, therefore it is not only okay but right for him to take the white tiger from hector (it would protect his loved ones).

but we know that matt is still experiencing a great deal of cognitive dissonance. it's not really as simple as "vigilantism bad" for him, is it? so we get matt saying things he would not otherwise say, not only to justify himself to hector but also to convince himself.

[zellergraham]

love that matt's been in full-on repression mode for an entire year and all it took was one screaming match with frank castle for all of his carefully constructed facades of nonchalance to come crumbling down. yeah baby you're handling the grief so well <3

Matt carrying around Foggy’s funeral program might be the thing that breaks me irreparably
