ayrt - Me toooo <3 *fist bump* Keep me updated on whatever episode you're up to, if you like. I'm more just watching whatever looks good rather than rewatching in order now. I have no attention span, lol. I'm probably gonna go for the episodes with the bombings next, just 'cause that's where Fisk condescendingly calls Matt a young man. But I am open to suggestions!
Your friend has a VERY GOOD POINT. Matt does have daddy issues everywhere, with Jack, Stick, why not God too? The whole father metaphor is a big deal in religion, and with the ideas of, like, guidance and obedience... Yesss, I like! :D I need more about Matt's relationship with his God. I want to knowww. I've always enjoyed how much of a role it plays in the show and I wish I could contribute more to this, but I am so un-versed in Catholicism, sorry! ;;
Oh, and speaking of Matt's subconscious daddy issues, BOY DO I HAVE A FIC FOR YOU. Have you read Veneration by WerewolvesAreReal? (It comes with a few warnings to note, and if it's not your thing then I totally understand, though.) http://archiveofourown.org/works/3848368
As for that comic you linked, !!! wow. I'm right with you, I love the hints that Stick is way more emotionally attached to Matt than he lets on. I'm only reading the more recent comics, so all I've seen firsthand is that flashback where Stick pushes Matt off a roof (where Matt is still so grateful for his training even though he hated Stick's guts, omg), but I have heard about Stick's death and I just. Yep, conflicted feelings everywhere. Oh man. I've also skimmed through the Shadowland arc, and I liked Matt's interactions with Master Izo there too, though Izo definitely seemed much nicer than stick.
Another little thing I noticed from the Stick episode: Stick says Matt is "still afraid to cross that line", with killing people. I just went O__O WHAT. Stick, did you try to turn a 10-year-old into a murderer??
