spiderman noir is not batman coded tf this man has killed before...just bc he wear black and seems emo does not a batman make
batman has a strict no kill rule, spiderman doesnt kill but he will if absolutely driven to it, spiderman noir has killed and is not hesitant to kill as a last ditch resort
Fem!Matt (and Fratt)
Sketches
So let me get this straight.
Fisk got away with everything for the second times and is now on a beautiful island somewhere. Mind you he was soaked with the blood of the civils he just killed with his barre hands when Matt offered him grace. Yeah ok... why not, uh? Why the fuck not. Would Matt do the same if Fisk was a rapist or paedophile? Did this show really want to portrait christianisme as the most tone-deaf religion ever? Does Matt think he's the God he worship to forget and forgive a criminal like that? Where is the justice? Where is the justice in this fucking universe?? I thought we were watching a superhero show where the bad guy are being deal with.
Matt is in prison and is being punished for being the bad guy of the story. I see... what the hell not too. At least he's in the place he wished to be from the start because he hates himself and thinks he's the worst human being to ever walk on Earth and deserves to burn in hell.
Heather... couldn't care less about her. Got away with everything too. She's going to be sad, crazy and evil. Done and done a hundred time already. Bored already.
Dex?? Talk 1 word and then sat next to the guy with the guns. Is going to hunt Fisk??? Don't care anymore at this point.
Karen... I don't care too now. She's free and...?? She is going to fight for Matt again and blablablabla.
And now everyone knows Matt is Daredevil. No more funny or stressfull situation where he must hide his identity. Our superhero is like everyone else ladies and gentlemen ! No more magic just a boring regular guy who is now in a regular boring prison just like everyone else.
grieving lawyer!matt for the rest of my life

Lawyer Matt Lawyer Matt Lawyer Matt Lawyer Matt I missed you Lawyer Matt I missed you jesuS FUCKING CHRIST WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Sam and Matt
i am not lying to you
its incredibly interesting to think about how important honesty and by extension trust are to sam especially in contract with his mentor who is a human lie detector and loves nothing more than lying to other people. The way matt so flippantly and by default lies to everyone is insane if you think about the fact people Cannot lie to him in turn. Where matt gets to lie and to have secrets and choose when to share things, none of his loved ones get the same privilege in return when it comes to him. This is disastrous in all aspects of his life, but especially when it comes to sam it is egregious. Sam clearly values honesty very highly and he is so desperate to be seen and believed, and for people to understand and trust that he's telling the truth. Sam never pried about daredevils secret identity and he respected when dd shot down his questions, because he believed daredevil was treating him with the same amount of trust and respect in kind. So for him to find out that the entire time, daredevil wasn't just being respectful and trusting him to tell the truth and understanding his boundaries, he just wasn't asking because he already knew. The whole time he knew his full name all of his family his involvement with the church So many things sam would not have wanted to share and certainly wouldn't have wanted to just have sniffed out. And from a man who told him He Saw Him in their first interaction. Its completely batshit insane sam shouldve killed him

Daredevil (2016) #7
like father like son
always mourning the fact that MY idea for Nelson, Paige, and Murdock will never be canon anywhere, where they buy Fogwell's gym and renovate it into their offices, and they keep the ring for kids to run around in while their parents are there, and the showers so that their clients can clean up and look presentable, and they have a bit table full of food that clients who can't pay with money have brought in.
my hot take theory is that years of people kind of demonizing matt and constantly discoursing that he's 100% at fault in every interpersonal conflict and every bad thing most other characters ever said or did to him is justified because of some worse thing the fandom perceives he did first contributes to why people think enemy of my enemy with someone who killed foggy could ever make sense lmao.
people can obviously say whatever they want, but..
like if matt's perceived in many cases as a generally shitty person who does bad ungrateful things and doesn't deserve love or his friends and should be alone then of course he would do that. especially in contrast to other characters the fandom believes wouldn't do that and whose complex actions are excused as justified or reasonable. why wouldn't he team up with bullseye if he was already that undeserving of foggy?
now, not everyone thinks that so explicitly. i'm definitely not trying to paint everyone who thinks enemy of my enemy could make sense with that brush. i'm talking more about the spectrum of that opinion and how people tend to see matt in a way that sort of lends itself to that thought even though it is actually not accurate and is directly contradicted by the comics.
and also, the truth is, takes that make matt 100% responsible for every bad thing that happened and characterize him as generally shitty towards everyone is ripping away all of the nuance of those conflicts and is frankly a disservice to the other characters involved too. and as matt was actually written in canon and not just as he was perceived by parts of this fandom, he would never team up with someone who killed foggy, not even reluctantly and hatefully.
Does Matt believe people are inherently evil or inherently good? My fiancé and his best friend were both raised Christian and got into a heated debate about this. I know what I think Matt would pick but I don’t know if it fits his Catholic upbringing…
I'm pretty bummed that the Catholic-ification of Matt Murdock is leading people to ask these kinds of questions about him (not your fault; it is what it is). The Matt that I know exists in a world of nuance and shades of grey, and to me, that's part of what makes him fun! I don't consider myself an expert on Catholic Matt as a character (in my defense, he's pretty new), and not being Catholic myself, I don't have an understanding of the theological nuances that would likely be needed to answer this question in a meaningful way. But what I can say is that at his most devoutly religious--which was probably in the Zdarsky/Checchetto run, at least so far--Matt was very vocal about his belief in the importance of offering supervillains chances at redemption.
For most of his history, again, Matt has thrived in the realm of nuance and hasn't really been playing around with concepts of "good and evil" in a theological sense*. He is far more concerned with the dichotomy of innocence versus guilt, centered on a person's choices and behavior rather than anything inherent. As a defense lawyer, he believes that everyone deserves their day in court, and he is passionate about defending the innocent, but he will also never hesitate to use his superpowers and advantages as Daredevil to determine extrajudicially if someone is guilty. He believes in punishment for criminals as one of the foundational pillars of his life's work, as both a lawyer and a superhero. He does occasionally refer to people as evil, especially when it comes to his most dangerous enemies, like the Kingpin and Bullseye--if someone is repeatedly murdering your loved ones and destroying your life, you're gonna start calling them names. There are people who Matt considers pretty damn close to irredeemable, and we have seen him, in his darkest moments, decide that death is the best way of handling one of his enemies because they are just never going to be a good person. But again, it is an evilness tied to behavior, and we're talking extreme cases, here. We're talking Matt attempting to beat the Kingpin to death on several occasions. We're talking Bullseye remorselessly killing over and over again, driving Matt to snap and gut him on the roof of the Javits Center.
And at the same time, there's Matt's ongoing moral conflict with the Punisher, centered on his (Matt's) core belief that committing a crime does not make a person deserving of execution. Back when Rachel Cole Alves was attempting to join Frank Castle on his mission, Matt desperately tried to push her away from going down that dark road because he knew she was capable of making a different choice if given a good enough reason to do so. There's the much-praised issue "Roulette" (Daredevil volume 1 #191), which ends with Matt deciding: "Yes, Bullseye is a terrible person, but who am I to judge him? I'm not great either."
Daredevil vol. 1 #191 by Frank Miller, Terry Austin, Lynn Varley, and Joe Rosen
In some versions of Matt's origin story, his father was strong-armed into working as a mob enforcer for a while, which didn't change Matt's idolization of Jack as being fundamentally a good man. Matt is also friends (sometimes) with Melvin Potter, the Gladiator--originally a guy who shot spinning blades at people for fun, but who Matt has seen work very hard to temper his violent urges and become a gentle, loving person. Matt knows that good people do bad things in desperate situations and that bad people are capable of choosing to do good, and that in the end, we're all messy and screwed up and influenced by the people around us, by forces beyond our control, and by the world in which we live.
So if I had to pick one, I'd say that Matt thinks people are inherently good, but that still doesn't strike me as a fair or accurate representation of his attitude toward the world. He has witnessed firsthand the degree to which people are capable of great good or great evil. Matt can be a judgmental bastard to even his closest friends, and that's part of his charm, but it has nothing to do with any inherent traits of humanity. It's "You made a bad choice. Do better." Or it's "You did harm, so I'm going to kick you in the face." Regardless of anything Matt may have been taught in church as a child, as an adult, he isn't approaching his attitude toward people in a cosmic manner. He is too deeply embedded in the down-and-dirty complexities of ordinary life.
This is not at all meant as a dig at your fiancé or his friend, but I think suggesting that such a morally complex character would see the world through a purely black-and-white, good-versus-evil lens one way or the other suggests a slight lack of core knowledge about Matt Murdock. (Which is okay! That's what me and my obsessive back-issue reading are here for.)
*Of course, the Marvel Universe contains beings that can be classified as inherently evil, in the traditional sense of the word. Matt has battled Mephisto, the Beast (the Hand's patron demon), and other demons and their minions, and in that context, the theological connotation of evil is a concept that Matt confronts as a cosmic truth. But obviously, that's a very specific type of situation.
