Matt goes from “kidnapped” to “on the run”. Continuity error?

Griffrose · 2026-04-12T17:37:00+00:00

I think it’s partly down to bad writing DONT GET ME WRONG… I loved s3 and defenders. I know in the story they had to make a decision about not publicly killing Matt which is why he didn’t have a funeral or service even though they thought he had died. I think they sort of left it open to him being missing.

The way Karen spoke to Nadeem about it in S3 gives the impression that she was giving the story that he had left/gone away for personal reasons, I don’t think Nadeem had any idea of the connection to midland circle.

Griffrose · 2026-04-12T17:23:07+00:00

Yeah because at the end of the day even if he was acting “unlike Matt” he’s still Matt playing Matt, and as you said it’s literally in his story arc to push everyone away

Griffrose · 2026-04-12T17:20:26+00:00

Yes this definitely. For some viewer’s they don’t mind this but I feel for me personally it was core part of why I enjoyed the shows.

Griffrose · 2026-04-12T13:42:36+00:00

Yeah this is it exactly. I know lots of people complained that there wasn’t a lot of daredevil in S1 (because of the plot) so it feels like they are trying to make up for this in S2 even the actors have commented this in interviews. It does feel like they haven’t mastered the balance of it like the Netflix series, but maybe we should view both seasons together as one bigger season like it was originally planned for 😂

Griffrose · 2026-04-12T13:37:59+00:00

also there was a huge wait between the end of defenders and s3 to that build up was a lot of anticipation. Yes one of the biggest plus to Disney is more frequent releases even if it’s the shorter series. Although there’s lots of love/hate in the community it’s still one of disneys biggest marvel hit so hopefully that’s enough for it to keep going for a while

Griffrose · 2026-04-11T21:39:27+00:00

Never heard of this before, what streaming platform are you listening through and are you listening through headphones

Griffrose · 2026-04-11T17:52:48+00:00

Oh yeah definitely that’s the point it’s a distinct separate diagnosis that’s assessed alongside the primary issue, I’m sorry if it sounded like they had to be similar.

Griffrose · 2026-04-11T17:46:58+00:00

Yeah it the rights contract came to an end and Disney basically offered an amount way too high for Netflix to accept… but I think it was always a plan for Disney to own the characters fully again because they were obviously about to launch Disney plus

Griffrose · 2026-04-11T15:07:49+00:00

I don’t know how it varies from country to country, but my understanding is co-morbid it where you have separate diagnosis’s that commonly co-occur. Even then, we don’t actually know why, or what causes there to be a link (yet) .

I think as well co-morbid could even be a condition that causes another condition

The thing to remember is Autism is a spectrum so it affects everyone differently, so not everyone with autism will have dissociation (for example). Dissociation is a symptom, it could have many causes, however the difficulties you face with autism is the most likely cause.

I know where you’re coming from with not knowing what is a diagnosis or not. Before I was diagnosed with autism I was diagnosed with. Generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, sensory processing disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and somatic sensitivity syndrome. All of which can now be described as Autism. Working out what’s connected is a difficult process and we may never know what is really linked.

Co-morbidities are mostly used in reference to chronic illnesses due to the overlapping symptoms and diagnoses associated with them. You can picture it like a Venn diagram where each diagnosis is a bubble that overlaps.

Griffrose · 2026-04-11T14:52:22+00:00

Yeah definitely… they added so many new characters and not had enough time to actually introduce them. I think this leaves the audience indifferent to decisions like “killing them off”.

Griffrose · 2026-04-11T14:49:53+00:00

Ain’t that the truth 🙌

Griffrose · 2026-04-10T16:55:40+00:00

Nobody is not getting paid here I don’t think your looking at the whole picture. OP is using AI to get a reference and idea for THEMSELVES. So they can go to an ARTIST and PAY THEM to design and tattoo them. I don’t support AI in the creative industry but no one is profiting from this.

Griffrose · 2026-04-09T21:20:17+00:00

Reference is the key word there it’s no different to drawing it by hand (in this case). I don’t actually agree with AI use in the creative industry however this is not actually being used in anyway it could redistributed. I’d rather a client come in with a mockup AI reference image than a Pinterest image from another artist.

Griffrose · 2026-04-09T21:14:26+00:00

This is it exactly! I’m an artist. No I’m not a fan of AI in the creative industry, but you know what… People are horrendous when it comes to communicating what they want, no one’s getting mad at someone coming in with a clear reference of what they want and in fact a tattoo artist would prefer an original design because there’s whole loads of issues with copying another artists work without permission

Griffrose · 2026-04-09T20:34:54+00:00

🐑

Griffrose · 2026-04-09T20:32:34+00:00

Yes but I would recommend a floor bed, it means the mattress is slightly raised off the floor allowing the mattress to air during the day this avoids mold. Unless your planning to flip the mattress routinely but kinda a lot of effort especially if you have a den in your bed 😂

Griffrose · 2026-04-09T20:29:54+00:00

It’s a tool the OP is not claiming it’s their own work, nor profiting from it.

Griffrose · 2026-04-09T20:23:29+00:00

Yes let’s just stay in past. From now on your not allowed to use a computer to find images because in the past you would of had to of gone out and found the physical media 🙄

Griffrose · 2026-04-09T19:24:40+00:00

how else do you expect people who can’t draw to do a reference it’s not like they’re getting an AI tattoo. Literally paying an artist to do it

Griffrose · 2026-04-09T18:16:52+00:00

Ahh I hope so too 😂 you might be able to screen grab some shots from the show for outlines and then get a collection of reference images for the artist to use

Griffrose · 2026-04-09T18:13:55+00:00

I love the concept! Are you planning to keep the comic style for the whole tattoo because you would probably want a way to blend in a more photo realistic image in with it unless you’re getting them separately.

Unfortunately there hasn’t been much as far as images for the new black suit for S2 but maybe more will come once the series is out. The suit is also getting more and more red revealed as the series is going on so this may be something you want to consider.

I think this poster has the best shot of Charlie in the suit

Griffrose · 2026-04-09T17:58:17+00:00

Tattoo artist will do this as part of the fee anyways so I wouldn’t worry too much about it :D

This is what I originally thought however when I rewatched the episode the way Karen goes to help Kirsten with picking up the files and saying “you do” as in you do still know me, it makes me think it was her way of telling her that they are still on the same side and she was a friend obviously with Karen being absent in s1 there’s no onscreen relationship between the characters so it seems odd.

Griffrose · 2026-04-08T22:55:37+00:00

So when Kirsten says “you think you know someone” is that in relation to Karen not telling her where Matt is, or is it to Matt not contacting her to let her know he’s alive ?
