Re: questions about the canon

[(Anonymous)]

my fave thing about this show is that the male characters have an actual spectrum of emotions and that all their societally-deemed less-masculine emotions don't physically manifest as an outburst of anger. i'm a sucker for nelson vs murdock because typically (and esp not these types of shows) we don't get to see male characters crying - and when we do it's usually covered up. we've seen foggy and matt both openly cry and i think it's so great and like way healthy too??

i love the humour in the show too, foggy and matt are so great together it's so fun and it makes me wish i was friends w/ them because you know they would have had the best time in college!! (honestly i could watch an entire season of college era matt and foggy)

yeah the way you described it was pretty much exactly what i wanted to say tbh and i agree that it all depends on which way you read the text. i'm glad i didn't offend :)

i know i'm super late to this party but also fisk's actor has autism. idk if he was projecting any of that onto the character (d'onofrio has referred to fisk as childish so i don't think i could go further into this w/o getting uncomfortable b/c i'm autistic myself and would rather not someone's autistic traits be referred to as that, but d'onofrio has the right to speak abt it any way he wishes) but yeah that may explain why ppl were interpreting him that way.

also yes! i keep saying that despite matt having a flair for the dramatic and being better at wowing the courtroom assembly, foggy's far better at financing, research, and just generally compartmentalizing. he's one of those guys who seems like a total goofball at first but then you find out he's the one pretty much running things at his job. so while foggy knows matt may be more charasmatic, he's basically the one sidestage mouthing lines to him.
