Re: Matt and Karen: She finally tells him off for how he talks to her.

AYRT again

I don't think Bendis or Brubaker were being inadvertently sexist by having Matt interact with women the way he does in their runs, so I don't think they need a pass. I think that there's a very purposefully written aspect of Matt's personality, one that goes along with the Catholic guilt, undercurrent of violent rage, egotism and need to be in control of situations that he exhibits, that leads to him treating women pretty poorly (and people including Foggy pretty poorly at times too).

I love Matt as much as anyone here, but I appreciate the level of complexity of his character and the way different writers have approached him over the years but kept him consistent.

And to the people above who are having issues with Karen Page's behaviour, I say the same thing. I think that her character is very messed up in the comics and someone who was unfortunately often a victim, but who even when she wasn't was written as someone who makes impulsive or poor choices and has an interesting past. So I have faith that the problematic aspects of her personality are ones that the show will face head on and deal with.

Sometimes the issues people have with characters, the objections and outrages and judgment of their actions, are exactly what make them so messy and interesting to watch.
