Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

buckyrhodey:

anyways yall let me know when Netflix Original ™ Marvel’s Claire Temple is going to premiere thanks

ACTUALLY THOUGH

Okay, but every episode should have a different cameo, right?  Like, Claire is trying to Handle Some Shit, and while she’s trying to do that, she has Matt on her balcony with a stab wound that made it through the suit, Jessica at her door with a bullet graze and a sour expression, Luke on the street corner with a guy who has three broken ribs, Frank on the roof with a major concussion, Danny with pepper spray in his eyes, and, at one point, she runs through town escaping the latest Avengers v. Whoever situation and finds Captain Goddamn America trying to set his own broken arm.

And then in the second-to-last episode, the Big Bad dares her to find help, and Claire’s like *grim smile* “I know a guy.”  Cut to black.  Final episode cold opens to everyone having to Get Along because Claire called them all.  The Big Bad goes down like a fucking ton of bricks under the combined might of every vigilante NYC has to offer.

Karen in this moment tho.

She didn’t trust Frank one iota. as far as she knows, he just shot at her, just murdered the District Attorney, just let his stray bullets fly where they may. one of these bullets his Foggy–her friend, now laid up in the hospital. 

So what does this mean about his words to her earlier: “you were safe, i needed you to know.” but Foggy wasn’t safe? Foggy got shot. Foggy never did anything wrong. So is Frank a lie? Is he full of shit? Is he here, in her apartment to finish the job he started all that time ago, with Grotto? Has her faith been misplaced AGAIN?

So she’s terrified and alone in an apartment with a #confirmed, admitted mass murderer who just knocked out the two cops assigned to protect her. the only thing between them is her guts and her .380. He could disarm her in a second, have her gun leveled at her and pull the trigger before she registered his movement. 

And then all of a sudden guns are going off. Bullets are whizzing past her ear, exploding the drywall of her apartment. Her first absurd thought is “well there goes my security deposit” and then she thinks maybe this is it. Guns are going off and this brick wall of a man is lunging at her, the Punisher come back to bring her what she’s due for her brother, for Wesley, for Ben, for…

But instead she feels his arms around her, his shoulders curl around her body. He tucks her head neatly in just under his chin. There’s not a sliver of her exposed to the window–because all of him is. And in that moment, she KNOWS that it wasn’t him at the DA’s office. Knows he’s been framed. Because he just showed that he would literally take a bullet for her. He didn’t leave when she got too tough to handle, when she got inconvenient, when something more interesting came along.

Anonymous asked: Okay so I too am Frank Castle trash and Karen Page trash and I was wondering if you have any thoughts on Frank/Karen because I don't think that was the ship I was supposed to walk away from Season 2 with and I'm really glad to know it wasn't just me.

DO I HAVE THOUGHTS YOU ASK

My thoughts range from ‘realistically, nothing can and should happen because Frank is too fucked in the head and also I think Karen would have some reservations’ to ‘wait this is Daredevil of the endless ninjas, why am I attached to realism’

So what I’d like is if there was some kind of connection, maybe at first without contact. It’s just, Karen writes articles about the Punisher and they are… not unsympathetic. And Frank reads them, and he’s very aware that she’s maybe the only person in the world who thinks of him as a person rather than only the Punisher. And to his mind that becomes the connection to his humanity he can’t quite break away from. It becomes important that Karen would be okay with what he does. He researches his targets carefully. Doesn’t take as much savage joy in killing scum. Tries to do it neatly and dispassionately. And maybe sometimes when his research turns up people or situations that are just ordinarily bad, not utter pondscum, he drops the files at the office of the Bulletin with Karen’s name on them.

She’s important to him - her opinion of him - long before he is on her radar in quite the same way, I’d like to think. But at some point she’s like… dude I’m gonna need more info on these files. Can’t communicate it to him other than a ‘citizens are invited to contact the Bulletin with more info’ line in an article. He drops a phone for her.

And then there is coffee in diners and a lot of glances and unexpected smiles and maybe down the line more than that

I’m watching the second season of Daredevil and one thing that I noticed – and really liked – was the jury selection scene for Frank’s trial.

The white men of the group said, “animal,” and “fascist,” and “unhinged.”

The women of the group – most of whom were WOC – were the ones who said, “I applaud him,” and “he’s a hero.”

Because when it comes down to it, Frank was dealing his brand of justice to scumbag men who thought they could do and say and take whatever they wanted. And at the end of the day, it was the women of the city who were really protected by him, the ones who benefited from getting those particular scumbags off the street.

For once, the men of the world were scared to step out of their doors with the Punisher on the street, and the women felt a little safer with him out there.

And considering what Frank lost, that’s pretty much the entire point of his vigilantism.

I NOTICED THIS TOO.
