the thing i love most about karedevil is that they're literally two sides of the same coin and i feel like people never talk about it???
like both of them had to grow up WAY too fast. matt was literally a blind kid stitching jack up after fights. karen was basically trying to keep her family together after her mom passed , helping with the diner, carrying way more than she ever should've. neither of them really got to just... be kids.
and then the guilt. because that's literally what defines both of them.
jack dies trying to make matt proud. kevin dies protecting karen. both of them have this one moment where their entire lives split into a before and after and they've been carrying that ever since.
and can we PLEASE stop acting like fisk is only matt's villain because i'm sorry?? he is just as much karen's.
union allied. ben urich. mrs. cardenas. wesley. throwing her in prison and trying to have her killed in there. the nightmares she was still having YEARS later. she wanted him gone just as much as matt did. s3 makes that so painfully obvious.
and now BAs2 has me looking at them like... okay fisk's gone. now what 😭 because they have spent YEARS making him the center of their lives. they don't know how to stop fighting.
idk they're just so... together. like narratively. they're always carrying the same thing just in different ways.
