Karen All But Said She’d Choose Frank Over Everything, Including Matt, In Season 2 Of The Punisher.

Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page Daredevil: Born Again, S01E09

Top-Tier Villain Motivations

They will be safe. It doesn't matter who else or what else burns as long as They will be safe.

I will be safe. The hunger and the cold will never touch me again.

Fuck any bitch who's prettier(/cooler/better-liked/better at making dumplings) than me.

Yes, Master

Love me. Love me. Love me. Love me. LOVE ME!

I know the terrible things these so-called "heroes" will do if I don't stop them (<- is absolutely wrong)

I don't want a better future, I want a better past!

No other way to get performance art funded these days

I love soulmates but also this-

“Come on Karen, look I know you, alright? You’re brave…. You’re strong, alright, but you are so goddamn stubborn and you will throw everything away for me and I cannot let that happen, alright?” was another love confession fr

Okay Kastle Fam. General consensus seems to be Matt was hearing Frank's heart beating jealousy during the whole stitching scene

BUT I posit this:

He actually is hearing Karen's heart stutter as Frank groans in his self-stitching lone wolf routine.

bonus:

they’re so silly

Are y'all telling me this is not the mental conversation they were having

I believe in kastle endgame (or at least leaving things open to that possibility) because for frank, there is no one else. there's only karen.

thinking back to jon saying to deborah: "like what is he doing there? it's like if it's not you, everyone else is gone."

matt has a zillion love interests, and karen is one of them, but they're not going to introduce another love interest for frank. they're just not. so either he dies, or he lives the rest of his life alone, or he and karen get together.
