eating a green apple in public is much more sophisticated than eating a red one. i just came up with this opinion.

Been a really long time since I've watched Daredevil but I do remember coming away from it feeling like it presented a pretty compelling internally-consistent moral justification for the vigilante thing. You're not planet-crackingly powerful, it's just that you can hear, in detail, every awful thing your neighbors are doing to each other, every night that they're doing it. You can't not know and you can't pretend not to know and when the kid tells you the next day that he just fell down the stairs you can't fall back on the provided ambiguity to absolve yourself of your responsibility to act. Semi-relatedly, you're really really good at martial arts. Start the clock

so neither of the cops are dead, there are no consequences for matthew beating them up, and hector’s trial is already over?? WHAT is happening

i wish there had been some acknowledgment of the extremely high risk of them planting evidence on matt to arrest him and lie in their testimony like they’re already doing with hector ayala, or just killing him like they tried with torres. matt knows way too much and poses way too big of a threat for me to buy that they’re comfortable with just keeping tabs on him

in terms of matt not being a killer:

he did kill nobu in season 1 - he had no idea that nobu could be resurrected, and really truly did kill him

matt also then immediately tried to kill fisk

matt throws semyon off a rooftop, only checks if it killed him or not when claire asks if he’s dead (semyon dies later in the hospital, though granted, his death is sped along by the ranskahovs)

as you said, he tried to kill bullseye, though i see that as one of many similar moments (the fourth person he’s thrown off a rooftop/out of a window that we know of)

matthew has undoubtedly killed many many people - either truly by accident, extremely intentionally, or by just not trying hard enough not to. and netflix’s show (at least season 1) completely confirmed that, actually had the characters talk about it, had matt lie to foggy’s face and say that he’s never gone that far when he just had the previous night

so i was excited when i thought he had killed at least one of the cops at the end of episode 2 because i see that kind of rage as being completely in character, and it felt like the first glimpse of the matt i know and love from netflix’s season 1

now that i know they both survived, i’m not bothered that matt didn’t choose to kill them. i’m bothered because i feel extremely manipulated by the show. i feel like the “creative team” is saying that the audience is stupid, or just doesn’t care. the cops walked away with basically bumps and bruises, and that is not what was shown during the fight

i think that either they wanted it to look like matt broke that guy’s neck to trick us to coming back for more, or they wanted it to look that way because they thought it was cool, and they don’t actually have the artistic integrity to follow through on what they choose to show

okay so i’m not saying that matt doesn’t have a code, or that he doesn’t struggle with the ethics of killing. what i’m saying is that i think sometimes matt’s actions are incongruent with his beliefs. and to be clear, i like that. i think it’s really compelling writing and his reactions to that dissonance are some of my favorite parts of the original season

i rewatched nobu’s death scene to double check, and it still looks to me like matt deliberately hits the light to set him on fire. regardless of if we agree about that, when claire asks if semyon is dead (as i said in my first reply), matt has to stop and check. there’s no way he could have planned the trajectory and angle of semyon’s impact to ensure his survival. and i know this because it specifically shows matt needing to check if he killed him or not

the point isn’t that matt killed him - he didn’t. the ranskahovs finalized his death, as i said in my original reply. the point is that for all matt knew, he did kill him. he wasn’t sure, he had to check

lastly, you say matt pushing bullseye off the roof is the first time he ever acted with the intent to kill. but (again as i already said before) he tries to kill fisk in 1x09 - his exact words are “i’m gonna- gonna kill you.” and if fisk hadn’t been wearing body armor, he likely would have succeeded

so matt now saying in the reboot that a line was crossed, implying that it was crossed for the first time, must be either a lie on matt’s part or a failure on the writers’ part

i think matt pushes his no killing rule to the very limit of deniability because of his bloodlust and rage, and at times his desire to kill, which is backed up by (among other scenes) father lantom’s question in 1x09: “are you struggling with the fact that you don't wanna kill this man, but have to? or that you don't have to kill him, but want to?”

of course i know that matt has a no kill rule. but if you’re telling me that in all of the fights we see and don’t see, every single person has survived every single time, and you can’t at least concede that he’s an attempted murderer multiple times over, then i’ve really got nothing else for you

[maaaattheeeeew]

the matt i know would have let hector choose to go to prison in order to keep his identity and his family safe, and he wouldn’t have made the choice for him

there wasn’t even a conversation about how matt just put his entire family in mortal danger

do they not remember the entire show of daredevil

or any superhero movie ever where the superhero has to keep their identity secret at all costs to keep their family safe

they’re not writing an actual story, they’re just putting actors in dress-up and it’s going to make me kill

also exposing him as the white tiger should have delayed the trial at least a year, what do you MEAN it’s already over god i’m so fucking disappointed

[maaaattheeeeew]

[orphanpupok]

lmao so matt murdock really just beat up two guys so bad that i legitimately thought they were dead and then we just get to see them the next day and it’s fine. a blind man fucking destroys to nypd officers and everyone is like “ok”
