#karedevil spec

Unless S3 starts after a very loooong time jump, I won’t buy it if Karen’s all “Daredevil? Cool!” Based on how Matt’s treated Karen (and his friends in general), her giving him a free pass just like that wouldn’t make no sense to me.

Oh, nonnie, I hope so. GOD, I HOPE SO. I’m a sucker for angst, so Matt pining is definitely huge yes in my book.

He’s been treating Karen (and his friends) awfully in S2, so I feel like in S3 we’ll find Matt in a position where he feels like he needs to try and fix his relationships with people he cares about. Even though he came clean to Karen about his secret life that does not (or least I think it would/should not) erase the pain his secrecy put her through and give him a free pass for that. So I feel like he’ll be the one reaching out and trying to regain her trust and reconcile (and hopefully go further). But while we might see him angsting a bit (that probably depends the most on when in terms of timeline the S3 starts - immediately after or will there be a time-jump), it probably won’t be too excessive. 

It’s anyone’s guess at this point, nonnie. I think we’d have Luke Cage and Iron Fist first, for sure, and then The Defenders. Rosenberg (showrunner of Jessica Jones) talked that it’s probably unlikely we’d see JJ’s S2 before The Defenders, so that could apply to Daredevil’s S3. So if we end up getting Daredevil’s S3 (fingers crossed but there are still no news on that front yet) after The Defenders (2017, according to IMDB), chances are it’ll come in ~2018.

That said, it would be really stupid to end the season with a cliffhanger like that, and then start a new one with time-jump. Or worse, transfer the reaction to the reveal to The Defenders - I mean, someone watching Daredevil does not necessarily mean they’ll watch The Defenders as well (they will, most likely but Daredevil is still a standalone piece). So this is pure speculation but it’s most likely we have to brace ourselves for the wait, and will try to keep you posted if we hear anything.

Hi, nonnie. We’ve got some questions about it here, here, here, and here.

But yeah, I don’t see Karen selling out/exposing Matt’s identity either unless the people she cares deeply about are in literal life and death situation. Though considering how smart and resourceful she is, I think she’d find a way out of it either way.

As for drugs - someone else suggested that they might twist her comics storyline a bit and actually turn that into an aspect of her past. Which I think definitely makes more sense in the context of the show (not necessarily the drug thing but I take it that show!Karen has a darker past than comics!Karen). So that’s my two cents. - Ru

I feel like if it did happen to be the last season, they wouldn’t know until they were in the process of filming, so I don’t think they would do anything to rush it. I think they’d continue on the path they want the relationship to take. As of now though, we don’t know what it is. Whether they’re going to have Karen be Daredevil’s sidekick throughout the season and then once again break them up is still up for debate.

I sort of answered another ask about this, but I believe that if they did go down that route, then she would become much more independent and a different, better person because of it.

That is so kind of you to say that! Thank you so much. <3 And don’t worry about the English. You never have to apologize for that :)

Has there been talk of Bullseye joining in s3? I’m hoping that that won’t happen for awhile. Maybe in like 2 seasons because there’s still A LOT of Karen’s story that needs to be told. They’ve been building up her backstory these past 2 seasons & she actually has a very interesting one that has yet to come to light!
