since matt was born in the 80's, i'm pretty sure he liked listening to N.W.A at some point

you ask me this might as well be matt

PROOF THAT MATT MURDOCK/DAREDEVIL IS A SCOOBY DOO VILLAIN

exhibit a:

in scooby doo, most villains are either a copy or based off an already existing concept like the yeti, aliens, vampires, etc. you know who's suit is based off an already existing concept? that's right, matt's suit AND it's based on the devil a.k.a the world's oldest evil concept.

exhibit b:

in every scooby doo episode/movie the villain hurts people when in the suit but when it's off, they're very normal people and you'd never guess they put on a suit and hurt other people.

you know who also fits that description perfectly? that's right Matthew M. Murdock

exhibit c:

you know how every villain seema like a very normal person until they get unmasked and thrn you realise they're actually very grumpy?

well, guess who fits that description as well. that's right, going 3/3 it's once again Matthew Michael Murdock attorney at law

i rest my case your honor

TW: AMNESIA

Imagine this:

one night matt was out in patrol and got his head hit so bad he woke up with (temporary) amnesia the next morning (he still won the fight of course).

so matt wakes up and he's just lying in bed when he realises that by the sun (he can tell about what time is it by how the sun feels in his skin) that he's probably late for class and starts panicking because:

a) where is he?

b) he's late for class

c) he can't miss too many classes after almost flunking out of college

d) where even is he?

e) where's foggy?

f) where's his phone? he can feel some kind of electronic thing but he needs his phone with the keyboard and stuff

g) seriously, where is he?

Meanwhile, foggy and karen are getting worried because matt iss late even by matt's standard so they decided to go to matt's apartment just to check in on him.

so they go and open the door with one of their spare keys, matt's hearing all of this from the bedroom and he's now panicking because the homeowner is here but also he's relieved because the homeowner is here and now he'll finally get some answers.

so matt gets up in his boxers and just cautiosly walks to what seems to be the living room and realises a guy who smells and overall feels like foggy (but with something different) and a woman are right in front of him.

long story short, foggy's confused but plays along and tells a white lie "matt, the professor sent an email last night saying that today's class is cancelled, didn't you check your email?" to get matt to stay there and he calls claire to check on him and claire tells them it's just temporary amnesia he'll recover pretty soon.

at this point karen and foggy are relieved that he's overall okay and he'll be back to normal soon so after talking it over they decide to tell matt pretty much everything and then have some fun because by the time karen met matt, he was a lot more serious so karen not knowing goofy college/law school matt felt like a crime.

the conversation with matt went well, he believed them or at least acted like he believed them after they showed him so proof, eventually they just ended up talking about whatever when foggy just freezes and turns to matt "i need you to answer a question" "sure" "but like really answer it, you have to tell me the truth" "okay...?" "all those times we went out drinking... did you really do those handstands or did i hallucinate?" karen bursts out laughing and matt has a hint of a smirk on his face as he says "well i couldn't possibly do that, i'm blind remember?" which just sends chills through foggy's spine because that's exactly the answer matt's been giving him for the last 10 years or so.

also, because they didn't mention matt and karen dated at some point matt started hitting on karen "are you flirting with me, murdock?" "yeah, although if you had to ask i guess i'm not doing a really good job at it" that's when karen and foggy looked at each other and started laughing like maniacs, once they recovered and were able to breath normally again they broke the news to him "you already dated her for a bit buddy, a couple of years ago, which you totally blew up by the way" "yeah, there's no way i'll fall for that again, sorry matt" (which is kind of a lie because in her opinion if "normal" matt is easy to fall for then this version of matt is just irresistible, a lot more open and goofy and a lot less likely to push you out of his life).

there's more but idk if anyone would like to read it tbh

[danny-likes-sharks]

wilson fisk and vanessa remind me of that one episode of phineas & ferb where Dr.Doofenshmirtz falls in love with a woman just as evil as he is.

[danny-likes-sharks]

i kin matt murdock... is not something i feel specially proud about

[danny-likes-sharks]

I constantly think about that one tweet where someone pointed out that S3 matt dresses like stick (i thought about it several times today) and i just opened twitter and this is the first thing that popped... it makes me sad tbh

[danny-likes-sharks]

could you imagine heather meeting elektra for the very first time? it'd be hilarious

elektra is INSANE and has a crazy backstory, i mean she died TWICE. so imagine her telling heather about this and heather is just very concerned about elektra's mental health, because she's claiming to have grown up being trained by an ancient ninja cult who where in a war with another ninja cult and it turns out she's a mythical weapon and due to said war she's died TWICE.

she claims that but doesn't have any evidence, not only that but 99% of the people involved are dead so...

[danny-likes-sharks]

couldn't care less about kastle and karedevil, for me the best part of season 2 was elektra, the hand and the chaste

that's my hot take

[danny-likes-sharks]

i've read fics where matt gets de-aged to before jack dies and i've read fics where he gets de-aged to stick's training age (and/or a bit after) BUT I HAVE YET TO READ one where he gets de-aged to college age, it'd be so cool and messy

idk, i have a crush on college matt

[danny-likes-sharks]

matt murdock can't help thinking about elektra when he listens to 'Francesca' by Hozier

Day 9183773838 of missing Elektra

[danny-likes-sharks]

i.e: she didn't want to go in the building where they were keeping the hostages, she ended up going

she could've saved herself and no one would've been surprised and instead, she quite literally sacrificed herself to make sure matt was safe and to try to stop the hand by getting rid of what they needed the most, herself.

then she quite literally came back from the dead and could've killed matt but didn't, then she sort of became the hand's leader, then she knew she was about to die again and instead of just lettkng matt go, she decidee that she wanted to die next to him

so yeah, like i said, unpredictable

she might've been toxic

she might've been manipulative

she might've been a murderer

she might've screwed matt over multiple times

she might've ruined matt's life

but she's probably one of (if not the) best characters in the daredevil series and i'd give up any and all characters just to have one more second of elektra

i think her character is really REALLY complex and that's what's enticing about her... she's this woman who's aware of all the hurt she's caused and she just gives in to this idea of being a bad person without a single excuse, she's aware she's not a good person and still, for all the hurt she's caused and all the evil that surrounds her, when given the chance she will protect matt every single time. so while she pushes matt to embrace his darkest side, matt pushes her to embrace her good side and her kindness.

as much as she just accepts that she's a bad person and that she's hurt a lot of people, she's also got goodness and kindness in her that she just refuses to see it's there, not because she looks down on it but because she really believes she's that bad (or at the very least, beyond salvation)

i think she and matt are a reflection of each other in that sense, while being the opposite with him being mostly "good" but still believing he's bad and beyond salvation, and still when they're together they start sort of "absorbing" each other, matt becomes darker and elektra better. they're pretty much a yin yang.

her being a character with so many sides and so beautifully unpredictable, makes me want to watch season two and the defenders time and time again

DD:BA EP.7 THOUGHTS

aaah yess, the "they're enjoying themselves too much...they don't ask" move

i understand why matt felt like everything feels fake,,, the guy's been through a lot

heather's pause before naming karen lmaooo

he was listening to heather's heartbeat to know if she was lying when she said "i love you" my matt :(((

HE SAID I LOVE YOU TOO ??? and tbh it feels a bit out of place for a reason

i kinda liked cherry up to this point but after what he said to matt i don't like him anymore, like,,,,,, okay??? who even are you? are you in a position to tell him that? bc the way i see it you two aren't exactly best friends, you're friends but you're not on the calling-out-when-necessary level

the muse stuff felt underdeveloped

I'VE BEEN TALKING SINCE FOREVER AGO ABOUT MATT BEING INTO DANGEROUS WOMEN AND UNTIL 2 HOURS AGO I THOUGHT HEATHER WAS THE EXCEPTION BUT NOW I SEE SHE'S NOT,,, WTF MATT

fisk is cooked

VANESSA TRYING TO GET HER VERY OWN HUSBAND KILLED KWNDDKJ THAT WAS COLDDD

i kinda like buck

overall it was very fun and the episode flew by and i'll have to watch it again. the only negative thing is muse's death was too fast, that story had a lot of potential and they killed him just when it felt like his storyline was kicking off

blessed to be alive to see black suit charlie cox's daredevil
