I love this entire post. There's just so much interplay between Matt and Frank and the fact that Matt understands Frank down to the marrow in his bones and Frank in turn cherishes Matt in his odd way.
I think it says something that Matt and Frank are willing to put aside their differences and be bash brothers after everything that's happened between them. For Frank everything is clear delineated lines while for Matt it's always topsy-turvy and he can't decide if he wants to hit Frank or go drinking with him. There's something in Matt that responds so deeply and positively to Frank or else Matt would lump him in with Bullseye and Fisk. But he doesn't.
I imagine that Matt wishes very much that he could hate Frank. It would make things much easier for him if he could dismiss him like the other supers do. But Matt usually has his back against the wall, and Frank will always be there with a hand grenade to make a hold for him to climb through. Matt trusts Frank Castle with his life, and vice versa.
