The version of Matt that I prefer... It's a blend. I love MCU Matt. I love his day-old stubble and hairy face, how he is a little shabby. He teases Foggy and feeds him to the sharks with a smile. He is a worry wart when it comes to his friends- "You can't do this! there are bad people out there!". I love that when Foggy and Karen confess to running around at night with mace and a baseball bat he has a fit. I love that he's all beaten up and an barely move and decides he's going to take on Fisk anyway because his temper is up and he has no idea how badly injured he is and he does not know how to STOP. I think the core of his being is - he always gets back up no matter what. He doesn't know how to stop fighting. I love that as Daredevil he gets muggers off the street, and that as Matt Murdock he is a defence attorney I love that others see Matt Murdock as Foggy's sidekick.

Comic wise.. I do not like when they mess with the key story. I like Hell's Kitchen Daredevil. I don't like when he pushes Foggy away. I don't like when he isn't a defence attorney. I enjoyed the happy nature of Waid's run, but at the same time those stories were so... I don't know. Fanfic is often so much better and more believable than the comic runs. Weird, right? But then in the comics there are parts that are absolutely fabulous, little moments that stand out. But sadly for the most part- I really prefer the MCU and the fanfic we make here over the comics. I think I may be a little burnt at how they took the fluffy ending from Waid's run and turned it into... something else entirely. I don't trust comics. (but I did work in a comic store for 10 years! Never trust the damn cover is what I came away with from that.)
