One thing I am sad that they didn't bring up in the final is Karen's feelings about Matt taking a bullet for Fisk because Fisk is someone who has ruined her life and Matt's life countless times and you can't tell me she would have nothing to say about it and I understand that is why she came back but you aren't even going to show her reaction to it all and I don't understand why they couldn't have brought it up but I did find it interesting that Frank was the one who asked him why he did it
Frank and Karen:
Meanwhile Matt:
"The most terrible loneliness is not the kind that comes from being alone, but the kind that comes from being misunderstood. It is the loneliness of standing in a crowded room, surrounded by people who do not see you, who do not hear you, who do not know the true essence of who you are. And in that loneliness, you feel as though you are fading, disappearing into the background, until you are nothing more than a ghost, a shadow of your former self."
- George Orwell, 1984
I loved that one scene where Karen is patching up Matt in the foreground, but it's Castle in the background the camera is focused on. Because he's eavesdropping. He's been wondering the same thing--why did Karen call him? And then he decides to act macho, chewing pain killers and making out like getting shot doesn't hurt because he's damned if he'll look weaker than Murdock in front of her.
And of course Karen sees through it with a single look, leaving him stumbling over his words. There's too many that need to be said, a crushing wave that dams up at the back of his throat. Maybe over a cup of coffee he could let the words seep out. They could start with a cup, then another. Maybe dinner after that. Make up for lost time...
...I heard your heartbeats.
lieberman would have rolled on the floor if he saw frank fidgeting and internally losing his mind over karen’s “no, thank you” i just know it
and guess who else? Foggy. Foggy would go red trynna keep his laughter in bc he wouldn’t dare. not in front of the punisher. but he would
saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him
i never noticed that Karen SMILES when frank rests his head against hers in the elevator (despite the blood and horrors that just occured)
i'm going to kermit!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Accountant squared is a hell of a movie it has the Batman element the Red Hood element the sort of double identity element in a way and the Oracle element (and it sort of shows how scary it could be) as well as a Jim Gordon element lmao. It has the dudes being platonically affectionate element. Incredibly incredibly refreshing. It has the “lived in each other’s pocket except that pocket is a bullet proof vest” element so much so that I think @frownyalfred produced this movie. so yes essentially a Batfleck in-universe masterpiece
