Isn’t the money somewhat explained partially when he says the giant billboard lowers the price? I mean I can still get why it’d be absurdly expensive to live there even with that but at least they tried. Can I ask what asian racism?

The anti-Asian racism is pretty well talked about by those who know better than me. I would just point mutely at the show while it was playing in answer. Like, any episode at all. (Personally I just couldn’t believe that after the commentary on racism that came after the first season, the second season still decided to make evil dimensionless ninjas its big bads.)

As to the money thing...I found an article about realtors appraising TV apartments, and here’s what they come up with for Matt’s giant frigging corner unit: 

Estimated rental price: $3,400 to $3,700 a month in present-day Manhattan, but assuming around $2,900 to $3,100 in the battle-scarred Midtown of the Marvel world

Let’s say the co-op offered him a 50% discount based on the billboard situation, which is ABSURD but let’s be generous. Half of the most modest estimate is still $1450 a month. Add in utilities, groceries, office rental (cheapest office space in hell’s kitchen I can find is almost 2k/month, but I didn’t look too hard), employee salary, student loans, etc, and the fact that for two years they’ve had little to no paying clients...it’s just. Too noticeable to me. 

Matt’s got a closet jammed full of suits, nice furniture, eats out, goes drinking. He probably shells out a couple hundred bucks in cane replacements since he loves tossing his away so much. And we know where he’s spent the last decade of his life: fresh from an orphanage, a student all the way through law school, and at one internship at a fancy law firm. Now the internship’s a plush deal, apparently in NYC summer interns can make $3000 a week for the 8-10 weeks it lasts. Which could leave Matt and Foggy with a cushion of 30k to live off of, if we assume they have absolutely no expenses during the internship, which is also pretty absurd. 

So, best case scenario, if we allow Matt to start out with 30k in the bank, and give him a laughably small monthly cost of living at 3k, then he could live for ten months. Definitely not two years, and really we’re giving him way too many allowances with the estimates as it is. I doubt they could get loans, just starting out as they are, and let’s not forget they also have to pay enough for Karen to live.

It bugs me that they constantly bring up money troubles in the way that people who don’t have money troubles would complain about money troubles. They shouldn’t be laughing about how broke they are, they should all three be legitimately terrified about how they’re going to keep roofs over their heads. 

I dunno, money is an issue that my broke ass can’t help but notice. I still think The Flash would have been a way more interesting show in season two if Wells’ death meant they lost the lab and the endless financing and had to create meta-stopping tech in Joe’s basement in between shifts at their new jobs. I know it bugs way more people than just me that we don’t actually know how the lab team are earning a living at all. There’s theories about patents owned by the lab, stuff like that, but I hate that it’s never even mentioned. A little tiny bit of ‘oh, we can’t afford to build THIS so we have to go with THAT’ or ‘dude, can’t go out tonight, student loan’s due in like two days’ or SOMEthing, always makes a show more real to me. 

I don’t have, like a mental hard-and-fast rule against it - like, there are certain heroes who should never ever ever kill because it’s written into the DNA of the character, like Batman, and there are heroes who should never have to kill because part of the point is that they are powerful enough to find another way, like Superman.  And then, at least for me, there are heroes who might have to kill, in a very specific situation, to save their entire city or the planet or whatever, and I’m okay with that - Green Arrow in the comics falls into that category, and actually so does Matt (sorry, I can’t be upset that he killed Bullseye that one time, especially since a lot of the things that he’s done to temporarily incapacitate Bullseye, like breaking every bone in his body or blinding him when he’s already completely immobile, strike me as worse than death).
