I just watched The Accountant 2 and I have so many thoughts but the funniest part hands down of the entire movie was watching Ben Affleck’s character purposefully start a bar fight just because Jon Bernthal (his character’s little brother) wasn’t having a fun time at the bar and then got the “opportunity” to come in and defend his older brother via violence and if that’s not the most BATFAMILY coded thing ever—-
"Let me make it mean something."

we interrupt your irregularly scheduled Oshamir for some Kastle, which is the only thing DDBA had to deliver on and did it ever.
I think Frank needs to grovel a bit right? That's right here you go.
what i would like out of the "triangle" is frank to start internally pushing back on the matt/good me/bad dichotomy he's been clinging to these past 6 years. conscious of it or not he uses matt as a bumper between him and karen when he thinks karen is getting too close ("almost took the shot/may i ask why you didn't?/you never lie to me/does he?") or in the hospital she tells him she'll love him despite the corpses that keep piling up around him ("maria knew what i was and she loved me anyway.") and her overtures get shut down with a ("does that matt murdock know you're here?")
except 6 years later and just the sight of karen and matt in proximity together is stirring up his jealousy. i think he could rationalize it at first but the softer, loving side of frank that is dying at being shoved down and forced to live in a murder bunker is going to start reminding him of all the grace and acceptance karen has offered and maybe? hopefully? start to see himself from her perspective.

You heard his too?
Oh, yeah.
people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.

Just imagine for a moment David Lieberman meeting Karen Page in the flesh and being all "Karen Page? Frank's Karen?" with a big knowing grin. Then Karen slowly coming to terms with the fact that despite Frank previously rejecting any chance of a relationship with her, the man's been in love with her for YEARS.
oh no a sassy character with a sad backstory that acts tough but is actually in a lot of emotional pain and is just as soft as a teddy bear oh no haha.........kiss mw
