ayrt - YAY! I've been away a little longer than expected and came back to allll the insights! Ah my god, you're awesome. Nooo, don't say your comment is long, you'll give me anxiety because I'm wordswords wordy.
First, smutty fanworks are the best. God bless fandom because there's so many smutty fanworks happening at the mo, we're blessed by all the little porny gods.
Maybe the best thing about Matt is that he's the closest-to-unpowered superhero on the map. TBH I'm a big enough shameless perve that I like that he has no super strength because I'm very fond of the manhandling, and he gets manhandled all the damn time. I love that it doesn't stop him from defending his city, though. Slow him down, maybe, but doesn't stop him. Bring on S2 with more manhandling and apparently Frank Castle chaining Matt down, unf.
YES, that scene with Claire! I'm a little discomfited that she brought out the L word so fast. I mean, they barely knew each other, they've shared one kiss, and even though the attraction is there I was surprised as Matt when Claire says she couldn't fall in love with him. But Matt's cold 'you shouldn't' as he walks away, augh! No Matt noooo, tell people you care about them before you end up dead in a trash bin!
I'm down with Wilson and Vanessa, too. I think they're made for each other in a really amazing/frightening power couple way. In the comics Vanessa and Matt end up having a really weird respectful frienemy type relationship where Vanessa regards Matt sort of like The Other Woman in Fisk's life. Fisk is so obsessed with Matt/DD that she blames her marriage problems on Matt. I'm seriously hoping something like that shows up in S2 lol.
I barely noticed there is a Wilson/Vanessa moment that mirrors Matt and Karen later. When Vanessa admits she has a gun in her bag (I like that Vanessa and Karen both know firearms - these are not defenceless women), she dares Fisk to keep lying to her about who he is, what he does. 'I know you're a dangerous man.' 'Do you want to leave?' But she stays knowing exactly who Wilson Fisk is and she becomes his counterbalance, they become a team.
Karen tells Matt later she thinks she made a mistake by coming to work for Nelson & Murdock and Matt asks her if she wants to leave and she says no. Karen does mirror Matt in so many ways, and they're both dangerous just like Wilson and Vanessa. Vanessa says she won't let anyone take Wilson away from her, and Karen kills Wesley when he threatens to go after Matt (and Foggy). I am honest to god dying to see S2 and find out whether Karen finds out about Matt being DD and whether the avocados find out about Karen killing Wesley.
