Ooo Foggito

I love the detail that Frank knows that Matt’s senses are enhanced but they’ve never had a conversation about it.  He asks Matt if he clocked the van of cops on the other side of the building. He tosses Matt the bullet with the punisher skull on it knowing he’ll catch it and be able to feel the indentation.

Since I've seen it floated about how Frank and Karen getting together means the end of Punisher-Frank (it doesn't, just would require some changes to how he's handled); I'll go with the flipside. If Matt and Karen were to get together, then how long before Elektra shows back up and either there's another LT or Matt again picks Elektra over Karen. Like before I would've tapped on the comics but now after a rewatch, its very damn clear that Elektra is always going to eclipse any other person. Which that'd just be a repeat of s2 and regress most characters, but especially Karen. There's drawbacks to every side of the equation, which means that's a nonfactor. Daredevil needs to take a hint from Luke Cage in following the chemistry & story that is Kastle, not Jessica Jones s2-3. Just ftr I like s1 but god is it annoying in s2-3 in its insistence on bucking the chemistry to force in rando guys. Luke/Claire is -chef's kiss- and is a case of a Matt floated love interest who didn't match with him, thus going her own way w/ another love interest). Same as Kastle. Mattlektra not only has the chemistry, the story, but also bonus points is it tickling the comic fans special spots by being accurate to their pair.

God the next year is going to be so damn annoying with these types of anti bullshit.

ok was anyone gonna tell me that after this iconic overdramatic panel:

1. matt realizes he was stupid for causing a GIANT EXPLOSION RIGHT BY HIS HEAD and 2. he TAKES OFF FRANKS SHIRT AND WEARS IT?!?!???

like. HELLO?!?!?? he so stupid i love him. they hate each other so much. they’re in love.

he needed a shirt so he just TOOK IT OFF OF FRANKS UNCONSCIOUS BODY 💀

from Zdarsky’s run Know Fear part 4 btw :D

THE PUNISHER | 1.05 — Gunner

the absolute crux of the kastle bond is that they were both the protectors/providers of their families and they both carry around the guilt and blame of failing that responsibility. it's why karen starts crying literally anytime he starts talking about his family and how they were better off without him, she's not just being empathetic she knows from experience how it feels (she's the guy that jumps down in the hole with you because she's been there before and knows the way out)

karen page and frank castle in the same room no one talk to me karen page and frank castle looking at each other fondly heartbeats racing no one talk to me karen page calling frank castle on the phone she has his phone number after moving across the country for a year no one talk to me NO ONE TALK TO ME

I think a fundamental aspect (though not the only one) of why a lot of twitter people failed in their attempt to come to tumblr is that plenty of them are in the “sassy banter” part of the tech tree, where they think that hitting someone with a sitcom zinger is the biggest own possible, but tumblr is on the “kill yourself” part of the tree, which is the hard counter to that.
