Agreed, I love the twistiness and even when they aggravate him and us, I think Matt needs all these contrasts around him. One of the thematic questions DDS2 and The Defenders wants us to think about is, are we completely sure Matt himself isn't one of the antiheroes? Is he effectively straddling that line, or does he just think he is? The whole team has personal flaws, of course, but Matt is the only one strangling a member of the Hand until he passes out. Which is a moment I love for the horrified looks on the rest of the team's faces and Danny's, uh, is he dead? Yes, Matt has been set off by the reappearance of Elektra, but that's also just kind of the way he does things. (Something that's underscored every time he tries to fight one of the team, lol Matt.) But then we get Stick executing people with his sword and disappearing the parts to remind us that, well, okay, Matt could be much worse.

Like Frank says - you're one bad day away from being me. But this is one of the reasons labels and questions of Who Was Right become so difficult around Matt - everything is relative, and that's kind of the point.
