"In another life, you may be defending me. That's what a good man does. Defends his worst enemy" you don't fucking understand how hard that line goes when you know that Dex isn't Matt's worst enemy. Fisk is. And Matt defended his worst enemy. Because that's what a good man does

me after seeing matt’s beaten eyes, hearing heather saying “no i saved myself” and her view of vigilantes, then vanessa killing adam, matt yelling to his lying client, foggy’s name mentioned more than it ever been this season, matt cooing SWEETHEART to dex wtf, matt grabbing dex’s hair, a man’s getting FRIED, MATT GOT SHOT
BASICALLY EVERY 5 MINS ON THIS EPISODE it’s just keep going i swear I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK
The instantaneous flip from grief to happiness when Heather walks in. He's finding having a therapist girlfriend so useful guys.
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.

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.
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
happy [early] valentine’s day, everyone! ♥️
