Still Kinda Crazy How Kastle Is This Completely Unplanned Ship That Was Brought To Life By The Chemistry

Still kinda crazy how kastle is this completely unplanned ship that was brought to life by the chemistry of Jon and Deb, and became so popular to where it's now in a love triangle with the comicbook canon ship. That's insane. And how? Before dd:ba, it was **mostly** subtext and tension; loaded looks, heavy silences, things not said and pure unadulterated yearning... And it's crazier when you remember that despite the emotional depth, Karen and Frank actually share a few scenes together compared to the other ships. But with those few scenes, they created a very compelling dynamic and forged a bond so layered and deep, so complex and emotionally intense that you forget they haven't really had much time together. We actually get to see their connection build on raw honesty, recognition, respect, darkness, and their willingness to just sacrifice for each other and it's undeniable. And the show runners saw all that and were smart enough to get with the program and recognize it in canon, endgame or not.

Honestly, major props to Jon and Deborah cos not many actors can do so much with only subtext and so little screen time together. With a few scenes and acting restrictions (they couldn't even kiss, their kiss scene was cut), they delivered on "show, don't tell". That's some A+ talent. They really did that. I'm awed.

The funny thing is Karen stops Matt from attacking the bad guys, telling him to think it through because he was hurt and numbers and losing, blah blah blah. But she didn't know Frank was beaten up and kept there, and honestly I think logic would have flown out the window the moment she realized and It would have been Matt stopping HER.

Woll and Bernthal have more chemistry in a few glances across the room than most Marvel movies do with full love stories and kissing.
