Matt doesn’t have many close friends. Admittedly, there are a number of reasons for this, but the main one is that, like the proverbial duckling, Matt has imprinted on Foggy and no one else is quite right.
Anyone who tries to engage with Murdock for an extended period of time while Foggy's not there soon finds that their conversations are littered with phrases like, “Foggy would have done it like this,” and “Foggy says it doesn't matter,” and “Foggy prefers his pens on the left side of the table. Put it back. Now.”
So how do people deal with it? Is Brett entirely unimpressed? What about Karen? Does Foggy ever find out about it?
+ If it's not even that Foggy is a perfect, sacrosanct angel who can do no wrong. It’s just that he and Matt get along very well and Matt has basically fixated on him.
++ If Foggy does the same thing, though he's generally better with people.
