“I feel safe with you.” A line that Deadpool would never say out loud because that reveals more vulnerability or sounds more intimate than saying “I love you.”

Safety is necessary especially for Deadpool so I thought if a shapeshifter ever try and fool him that they’re Spider-Man, he would know immediately. Maybe not, but his body would react to it faster than his mind could explain. This dude says Wade in the same voice yet it was in a different tone, it almost sounded alien to him and he has no idea why.

But his body does, because his body knows where he feels safe and it knows this isn’t his home. This ain’t the same guy who he adored and respected, and he is deeply offended someone thought they could fool the diehard fan of Spider-Man who made so much fanfics and fanarts of him (even have patreon for it too). And so, Deadpool will listen to his guts and grab his guns despite no valid proof because screw it. His instinct says that isn’t Spider-Man and that’s enough. No one in this world could ever replace the only person he ever felt safe with and survive after pulling that prank on him.

“I feel safe with you” is such a dorky thing to say. Deadpool thinks it’s cringe, weird and kinda crazy to say to someone yet he wishes Spider-Man knew. Maybe, thats exactly why Spider-Man is a hero… and Wade is still struggling to see himself as one. Heroes provide safety.

And god— that is exactly what Deadpool has craved for as long as he could remember.

okay fuck it i wasn’t going to post this but i'm having a moment.

i know we kind of know nothing at this point. a lot of filming has been away from the public eye since there are actors who haven’t been seen on set that we know for sure are in the show. plus anything we have seen is out of context. so really any assumptions would be jumping the gun a little bit, which means this is my disclaimer that i hope i'm completely wrong about what i'm saying and look very stupid later but.

it’s looking more and more like this show completely fumbled foggy nelson and kirsten mcduffie and just gave their roles to karen? which is crazy because as much as i love the OG show they already did that to ben urich (which they were criticized for by comic fans) and then of course there are the many debates about elektra among various sections of fandom. but repeating the ben mistake with foggy while also doing it 20x worse to a character that's even worse to do it to and then just giving kirsten NOTHING to work with is fucking crazy.

and as someone who also ships k*redevil, thought they had a real chance at something after s3, always imagined they would've been together in canon by the end of the OG 5 seasons they originally wanted, and wanted them to be endgame (because sadly and unfortunately, neither show was ever going to make foggy and matt happen lol), this is so insanely off-putting to me, to the point that it may start putting me off things i previously liked if that’s what they did come next year when s2 comes out.

the way karen was originally ignored by this new show is wild and stupid, but i really don’t think the reverse should be happening like this or that karen should be getting literally everything now, all at the expense of the entire rest of the comic book cast, particularly dd’s most important longest running supporting character foggy and arguably matt’s best comic book love interest kirsten (she's SO much more than that too obviously, but like.. the new show isn't letting her be those things either?)

karen has been dead in the comics for a long time. i've always thought her show version should survive and that they shouldn’t kill her, and i stand by that, and i was impressed and glad when they subverted it in s3. but they could’ve kept karen alive and kept her a main character and gave her all the importance she deserves and even had a k*redevil endgame without it being done like this.

there's absolutely a world where they respect foggy's place and importance in matt's life and keep him included and alive, kirsten is treated as the badass she is and gets to do all kinds of law stuff with matt and foggy (and be a supportive friend, if they didn't want to do love interest, because they could still honor the spirit of their relationship), and karen still gets to be everything that was already awesome about her in the OG show.

the writing for this show (yes, even in the new episodes by the new team) is not good enough to justify the decisions being made or the disrespect to almost literally every character.

if you want to diverge from the comics, you don’t solve the issue of karen not being alive anymore by just deleting everyone else's relevancy and replacing every other character that exists with her so you can prop her up. she doesn't even need that, the character the OG show created in her was already awesome. you create new stories and show what having her around would’ve added. you bring back older stories she was in and recontextualize them. you respect the other characters that matter instead of taking things away.

you definitely DON'T antagonize and dismiss and disappoint fans of the source material who care about this stuff just to push your agenda. and this will just turn some fans even more against the ship and the character when they already had a hill to climb with some parts of this fandom. which sucks because i originally hoped that in a world where this show was good that people would change their minds about k*redevil and see it more positively, but now i feel like i can't blame them anymore. in the words of matt (apparently), 'fuck it'.

this new show is literally like a dark twisted mirror version of the series i love, like the ultimate be careful what you wish for, and i’m so sad about it today. wish it just stayed cancelled at this point.

Foggy dies because Matt has to suffer the consequences to being Daredevil but PSYCH Matt's gonna decide to be Daredevil anyway! AND DOUBLE PSYCH Foggy's death had nothing to do with Daredevil at all!

[literally-spiderman-irl]

my hot take about the kindest, purest soul line is that i don't think matt is idealizing foggy at all and that matt has always thought of foggy that way so it's not really an after death thing either, and also, i think that he's right in the particular way that he says it, but the amount of text i would have to type to explain why is A Lot lol.

[literally-spiderman-irl]

can we all just appreciate how extremely funny it is that all these marvel video games (spider-man, spider-man 2, marvel rivals, marvel tokon: fighting souls) choose to reference daredevil by using nelson & murdock, therefore explicitly including foggy in matt's life because they think their law office is one of the most obvious ways to reference daredevil, while born again did... that?

when random marvel video games doing a cameo/reference to daredevil seem to know more about what's important to the source material than his own show does. lmao yikes.

No matter what happens, this is the unvanquished truth.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It’s been, uh, three days since my last confession.

how does this man have a secret identity

okay as much as i've enjoyed laughing at the hilarious mushroom baby dialogue these last few issues..

i'm BEGGING it to be real that dd is about to be free of its current team by october. i just saw something about this on reddit, so PLEASE be true.

(i say, just before they hire someone even worse and the book becomes as annoying as the new show; DO NOT make this another regretful 'be careful what you wish for' scenario PLEASE marvel.)

anyway, this is my wishlist for the next run, which i feel is pretty reasonable.

lawyer matt. i never wanted the priest thing. i understand why some people thought it was an interesting setup, but i hated this concept from the start, and i was glad when it ended. i just want to see lawyer matt again at this point.

FOGGY. this whole 'matt and foggy aren't talking because (checks notes) matt saved foggy's life?' thing is genuinely the dumbest thing ever. their fight towards the beginning was already stupid, but the second one was even worse. let what possessed foggy said about working together again be foreshadowing.

i never want to hear that matt killed bullseye in this context of fighting wrath ever again because that is simply not what happened, thank you.

let elektra be elektra again. i don't think dd ever should've been a shared mantle, and it's a disservice to both characters AND to their relationship. smarter people than me have spent a lot of time talking about this though, so i'll leave it there.

matt stops quoting the bible every other line of dialogue lmao.

in general, i wish they would return to some of the basics of dd, at least for now. this whole run has been A Lot, and i just want to see matt beating up some bad guys as daredevil and doing some law work too, preferably with foggy.

basically, if i have to live with the knowledge that the new show is doing All Of That Dumb Bullshit they're doing, then i need the comics to be readable at least lmao.
