#midwintersky

Evening and night ideally. Realistically, any spare moment I can afford. Provided I actually feel like writing.

The fact that they hid it in a submenu under “comics” instead of “shop” is giving me a headache. Their web designer should be ashamed.

If I don’t talk about my Daredevil feelings at length at least every other day, I’m probably going to explode or something, so, here, you’re going to get a really ridiculous response, sorry not sorry.I had no real interest in Daredevil before it came out, I’d never bothered much with the comics, I’d never seen the terrible movie version, I only had a very vague idea of who Matt was and a little bit with Elektra.  I only watched the TV series because it was part of the MCU and it seemed to get a lot of rave reviews and I expected to have absolutely zero feelings about it.And, yeah, okay, it went kind of slow for me at first.  There were some pretty breathtaking moments (the end of the second episode, the hallway fight, holy hell, that was incredible--the way it was shot, the intensity of it, the way I’m exhausted just looking at Matt), but overall it admittedly took me awhile to come to care about it.Maybe those lowered expectations helped, I don’t know.  But I will absolutely defend this series as being great in a lot of ways that are important to me, especially in the way the main hero is portrayed, the anger and the guilt and the need he has for other people in his life, that Matt Murdock is hardcore and badass and yet he totally ugly cries in the series because he’s hurting his friend and doesn’t know how to fix it.  And none of that is jarring, it all fits together with his character and makes me love him so intensely that I don’t really know how to string the words together to convey it.It might seem like kind of a ridiculous show at first.  It might seem a little... idk, maybe tryhard or something at first.  But I will always defend that there’s something really, genuinely good there, that I love the main trio (god, I love that Karen has her own story going on, that she’s so furiously determined and full of anger and tries to find an outlet for it, that Foggy isn’t like either Matt or Karen, that he’s the one character that’s pure good, even as he’s not a saint, and he’s like the one character who’s got his head screwed on straight and that’s so incredibly necessary with people like Karen and Matt) and I find the villains engaging, especially when comparing/contrasting them against the Good Trio.I’m so glad you wound up enjoying the show and I can’t wait for season two, either!  Or the other MCU shows, I’m super interested in Jessica and Luke and Danny and The Defenders and if this is what street level MCU looks like, I’M GONNA BE IN THIS FANDOM FOR LIFE.

Thank you! :)
