Can't help thinking about how little DDBA season 2 refused to engage with Matt's morality in any way that didnβt involve Wilson Fisk. Sure there was the conversation with Bullseye in the tunnel and the brief mentions of Foggy but at its core, I still believe the show refused to truly engage with Matt's actions.
He brought the man who KILLED Foggy into his and Karen's sanctuary.
Without telling her.
And then stopped her from getting her own revenge and chided her for having angry, conplicated feelings about the man and the situation at hand.
Why is Bullseye more important than Karen and her feelings? Why is saving him something Matt needed to do? What are the consequences of making the choice to save him?
But the part that kills me the most is Matt getting Bullseye to "protect" the governor. Matt isn't stupid, he knows EXACTLY what Bullseye was going to do in the name of protection and had no way of knowing whether the person would magically survive (and of course they survived, can't have Matt be morally corrupt in this iteration of the show, not even for a minute).
I wanted the show to deal with the choices Matt made. I wanted to see Karen furious at him for longer than one scene, I wanted to see him in church grappling with the choices he made against the tenets of his faith, I wanted to see him wondering what Foggy would think of him. Because in my opinion there is an ocean of difference between helping someone who was involved in drugs and information and needs support to change his life around (like they showed in the Foggy flashback) and working with the man who murdered your best friend, several of your other best friend's coworkers, threatened your best friends lives at multiple occasions, and murdered your childhood priest. While trying to murder your other best friend. An OCEAN of difference.
And I feel robbed that we didn't get that.
