Re: Does Stick actually care about Matt?

[(Anonymous)]

NA, chiming in to respond to "I think in the future we'll learn that whatever secret war Stick has been talking about is a war between good vs evil, with the safety of the world at stake which will justify his actions somewhat"

I'm sorry, I can only cheer for good vs. evil if good demonstrates being actual, y'know, good. Stick starts working with Matt for the money, his methods of training are clearly abusive for an eleven-year-old (or however old he is at this point), he denigrates the work that a grown-up Matt Murdock has done because it is not violent enough. I agree with Matt: he has a warped view of good and evil.

I don't doubt they'll bring Stick back and have him die violently, redeeming himself somehow--but you will never convince me that his actions were justified in the first place. Willing self-sacrifice is commendable. Sacrificing others against their will is not. Isn't that what Captain America 2 was all about?
