I'm rewatching all the Marvel Defenders shows on Netflix and as much as I mock the MCU now, I need non-Marvel fans to understand that I was and still am a fan of "Daredevil fighting the gentrifying assshole who bought out the police force because ACAB both as a lawyer and vigilante of the community" and "Jessica Jones fighting the man who mind controlled her into doing unspeakable things and forming a community of fellow survivors and allies while dealing with PTSD in a range of both healthy and unhealthy ways" Marvel. God I love these idiots they carried so hard

#vio.txt #mcu #marvel #jessica jones #daredevil #also the two of them induced so much bi panic in me. also gender envy. jessica jones is one of the few women i get gender envy fron #the iron fist and luke cage shows were...more mid but still leagues above current marvel shows #like. yes be anti-mcu but these were masterpieces #and yes this is why i was so pissed about them putting daredevil in she hulk and trying to make him iron man 2.0 #like! yes hes suave and charming but thats bc its his lawyer job!! he works in a law firm he and his friends started to serve his community #he is NOT 'i am rich and better than u' charming. he is 'i learned how to talk fancy for my degree and i have empathy' charming #and not bringing the other guys over either???? bruhhh #marvel really cancelled the best things they did on the screen #matt murdock my original red and black round glasses wearing sadboy what did they do to you #also!! can i mention that these shows had such better representation than nowadays marvel #murdock's actor doing extensive research on blind motility for the role #jessica and trish's friendship and how trish immediately believes jess about kilgrave #the whole!!! unique community feel of harlem and in luke's bar #hogarth whos both jessica's employer and foggy's boss in later seasons being a lesbian and having Real Marriage Issues #and also being a conplex and kinda shitty person #iron fist was....eh but that's why it was the worst one lmao #OH YEAH HOW COULD I FORGET MY GIRL KAREN #karen page getting a whole storyline in s1 about her dealing w ptsd and then getting fleshed out backstory and her own adventures #like ok it was kinda weird in daredevil that she dated like every guy bc she was the female lead 💀 #but even then foggy and matt and her figuring their shit out like adults. like they shot their shots and it didnt pan out. still besties th #disney would never allow such good writing in current times #but a boy can wish

Season 3 of Psych is making me a lot more emotional in my rewatch than I remember being when I watched it back in 2012

#only three eps into the season but man I can tell now this was when they started to buckle down on truly sincere moments #not that the earlier seasons didn’t have that either but man all three eps in s3 so far #have ended with character building Shawn moments #1) the whole thing about his mom and how it turns out she’s the one who left and it wasn’t Henry #2) him being 100% upfront with Abigail about why he left her that night back in hs (and also setting up the whole thing with Juliet ahdkshd) #and 3) the daredevil episode where he talks to the guy about how his family would want 6 more months with him rather than an insurance check #it’s all insane. and I know that Mr. Yang is coming at the end of this season too. the Psych writers showed UP #psych #white weasel talks

ahhhh this is just rambling but im so excited to see what you’re gonna do with season 3 especially since if Matt “dies” at the end of defenders then jane will still know that he’s alive bc of the thread (I think??) and I’m so excited for the ANGST

I'm also excited to get into S3! And I think I can say a little of why in terms of themes. Like yes it's going to be Paaaaaaaaaaain with a capital P but it's also an exciting dynamic to explore - for the most part, when pulling away has happened in TRT, it's been Jane pulling away from Matt, with him reacting to her retreat. This'll be the opposite, so we'll get to see how she handles being on the other side. It's honestly super important for their relationship to deal with that, specifically because this is Matt's trauma response both when he's hurt and when his self-loathing/depression is at its worst - he isolates, he pushes away, he retreats in on himself, he tries to self-sabotage and hack away at bonds because he becomes convinced that the only way his friends/loved ones will be happy is if he's out of their lives, on top of his dark thoughts of, 'they can't abandon me if I abandon them first'. Understanding that, and learning how to work through it, is essential for Jane and for having a stable, long-term relationship with Matt, and it's something we've only dealt gently with up until now (think him assuming she's leaving after he went out for the night after Nobu). Fortunately, pushing away and isolation is something she gets, so she's uniquely qualified to navigate this, to understand exactly what he's doing, because let's face it, despite the fact that it hurts, Matt is really fucking obvious about it. He just generally seems to hope that what he does will push someone away before they notice the puddle of blood he's standing in as he bleeds out. But as we know by now - Jane would crawl over broken glass just to stitch Matt up. So Matt's, 'Imma push her away' might not go the way everyone's thinking, no matter how much he tries.

I can't tell anyone just yet whether Jane will know he's alive, since that's our big WILL SHE??? thing everyone's wondering and that I want everyone to wonder. It's a BIG secret that I'm playing close to the vest, and something I'm building to - a bunch of clues, going all the way back to pre-chapter 20 (won't say where though) have already been laid for what's going to happen, although they don't look like clues just yet, and the pattern will likely only stand out on re-reads. All I'll say is two things designed to make everyone very nervous because I like making ya'll freak out. A. It sure would be a very simple fix if Jane could just go find Matt after the collapse via thread. And B: Ciro, chapter 132: "But things are rarely so simple for you."

#the red thread #on daredevil season 3 #and there you have our relationship theme for S3 #and also the only two things i can say about the building collapse #i'm constantly cackling because the building collapse outcome is something you'll see clues for #ALL the way back #this one is my masterpiece #and i can't give ANY clues about what it is because even me *pointing* at the clue could give it away #just know that while there will be tons of angst we'll eventually get comfort too

i'm on my second rewatch of daredevil & I just finished season 2 and i have a LOT of thots about elektra so i'm going to rant under the cut so here's your warning or psa if you haven't seen the show or are in the process of watching it i am mentioning spoilers so beware !!!

first things first i feel like i need to preface with the fact that i was OBSESSED with the 2003 daredevil movie like i rented it so many times at the video store the guy working there fucking gave it to me LMAO and i remember thinking jennifer garner in that movie was THE baddest bitch and I wanted to be her so bad

that being said i fucking LOVE elektra natchios and i was so fucking beyond excited the first time i watched the show and she showed up and i especially love elodie yung's version i thought she was absolutely perfect

here's what annoyed the shit out of me though: they set her up for failure; let's get into it

i feel like a lot of people don't like her for whatever reason and i feel like a lot of that has to do with her history with matt so let me just say i think her and matt were super toxic and did not belong together because they were constantly trying to change one another and yes she did a lot of shitty things to him but she was literally "hired" by stick to ruin matt's life so that matt would come back to stick and in the end she left because she realized matt was way too good and didn't belong around her OR more importantly around stick because he would never be like either of them

from the second they introduced her in the show, they are trying to make you not like her by making her seem like this selfish entitled person who goes around ruining lives for fun. i've also seen a lot of people blame her as the reason that matt & karen never worked out but like that is straight up matt's fault in my opinion ok homeboy did that to himself

as far as morality goes, i think a lot of people gloss over the fact that elektra was literally trained to be a killer since she was a child. she was a young girl that was taken from her family, essentially thrown into a cult that brainwashed her and filled her head with horror stories about a war that was coming she needed to be ready to fight at all costs

we all know stick was an emotionally & physically abusive piece of shit (we saw the way he treated them both) but i think everyone forgets he was way worse with elektra and way harder on her and i don't know if what happened with her is what made him approach training matt differently but he was undeniably easier on matt (matt was getting pushed down in a basement, elektra was getting the shit beat out of her by grown ass men)

elektra was trained and taught to be what she was and constantly had people like stick and the hand telling her who and what she was and making her feel like she was some kind of evil monster over something that was totally out of her control

i think the only good thing that came from her and matt's relationship is that he made her believe in herself and that she could be good because he saw it in her and helped her decide who she wanted to be instead of what she was told to be

i truly think more people would like her more if she were a male character because she has a lot of the same characteristics as matt (tragic backstory, sarcastic witty drama queen, charming & overconfident, anger & daddy issues, total badass, hot) and even frank (has no problem killing when they think it's justifiable, will do whatever necessary despite the moral consequences, looks good covered in blood) which is bullshit in my humble opinion

let women go feral!!! let them be messy!! let them deal with things humanly & realistically!!!

i personally love characters like elektra natchios and jessica jones because i can relate to them like i can feel their anger and their internal conflict of being who you want vs who everyone expects you to be and drinking in excess to cope instead of dealing with your problems and having a short fuse (especially with annoying ass men who think they know better than you) and just being tragic fucking human beings trying their goddamn best

this is also why i love karen page so much because she is deeply flawed and has a dark past and acts impulsively (literally taunted fisk about killing wesley because she knew he would emotionally react like what a bad bitch) and refuses to take anyone's shit and calls everyone out when it's needed and tries so hard to do the right thing hoping it'll heal her from her mistakes

like every single one of these characters has been through so much shit and SO MUCH trauma and i just don't think it's fair to praise and accept one group for how they handle it and demonize another for doing the literal exact same thing

there was a very interesting foil in season 2 with frank & elektra that doesn't get talked about enough like frank castle owned what he was and admitted to being a loose cannon that would never stop until he got his revenge and everyone ate that shit up but elektra struggles with what she's being told she is and fights against all odds to control something inside of her that can't really be controlled and people trash her and it annoys the fucking hell out of me because it all goes back to her relationship with matt

women can be their own characters, they don't need to be plot devices used for a man's character development

in conclusion, elektra natchios is that bitch and i adore her and would absolutely love to see her (& elodie <3) come back in a future marvel project but not if they're just going to waste her incredible storyline and potential as being matt's throwaway love interest again because she is so fucking much more than that and deserves so much more than that

if you've made it this far, thanks for coming to my ted talk <3

we stan elektra natchios in this household, and I will hear no slander

these are all my opinions & if you don't like/agree with them, that's totally fine but no need to be a dick about it :)

#i will defend elektra natchios until the day i die #like how can you not love her #she delivered some of the best lines in season 2 #no one can annoy matt like her except jessica and i love them both for it #i think more women should go feral #be unhinged #enter your “villain” era #be the bad bitch i know you are #i support you babygirl #i'm not even tagging matt bc babygirl this isn't about you <3 #elektra natchios #elodie yung #jessica jones #krysten ritter #karen page #deborah ann woll #daredevil season 2
