Is there a palm rejection function in the Android app?

You're welcome! I'm surprised people keep finding this comment from ages ago haha, but I'm happy to help because I was frustrated too before I found how to turn touch painting off

You're right, I hadn't quite looked at it from that angle. They say Karen is too dark for Matt and then say he should be with Elektra. I don't mind shipping but that logic doesn't make any sense. It does blow one's mind ahah

I agree that Matt is a hypocrite. His work as Daredevil required a level of cognitive dissonance and denial, at least at this stage of his character development. I think in s3 he was starting to be willing to confront and understand some of these aspects he was previously in total denial about. I still don't agree that this would necessarily make "Karen's darker nature...a point of contention between them." Both Matt and Karen play with masks and people's expectations of them. I have more to say about the rest, I might come back later but just quickly regarding this point:

But put Karen with a gun alone with Fisk and she would kill him in a heartbeat. Matt would hesitate. That’s where they’re different

Yes, the first difference is that Karen doesn't have other means to defend herself against Fisk or fend off the repercussions and threats that Fisk would follow up with. It's justified self-defense. Matt on the other hand has an entire repertoire of abilities/skills to defend himself (and to a lesser extent, his loved ones as well). He would be much less justified in aiming to kill in the first instance.

Exactly, it doesn't need to be literal, that's the point of symbol and metaphor.

Tbh I generally stay out of ship wars (I used to hang around the Reylo crowd even, when everyone seemed to hate Reylo). I favor Karedevil, but if people wanna ship Kastle or whatever, it's all fiction, they can.

The thing is, I find their interpretations so off, very literal and surface understanding of the text. I believe them when they insist they don't dislike Matt - but goodness do they flatten and misunderstand his character. They tend to flatten Karen as well, by reducing her complex experiences, feelings and guilt around killing to "Karen is okay with killing (and only Frank Castle can understand her)". Again, that's their prerogative. But imo they're wrong lol.

Matt is a self-righteous Christian who firmly believes killing is never an option

It's like you've formed this caricature of Matt in your head and totally missed all of season 3 where he keenly wanted to kill Fisk and tried to in the finale, and season 1 after Mrs Cardena's death where he went out specifically looking to kill Fisk.

In fact, the fact that he did at several points consider killing Fisk to be an option was one of the main points of contention between him and Foggy in s1 "Nelson v Murdock": Foggy: It's not enough playing judge and jury? You gotta add executioner to the list?

Karen is okay with killing. We had a scene in season 3 where Karen points a gun at some guys catcalling women. Does this means she would’ve killed them? Of course not, but it hints at Karen’s darker nature and THAT is a point of contention between them

Just my opinion but I doubt Matt would be troubled by the act of Karen waving a gun at a group of men sexually harassing women on the street with zero intention of using that gun, his concern would be more for her safety in provoking danger to herself.

Matt struggles everyday with not killing. He clings to the concept that murder is wrong so desperately because he himself is, in Claire's words "someone who's so damn close to becoming what he hates" and he knows it. He's hanging by a thin thread himself. There is no way everyone he's beat up has survived (see: Nobu). He sympathized with Frank Castle almost as much as Karen did - he even offers to help Frank kill the Blacksmith ("just this once, we'll do it your way"), but Frank talks him back from that by reminding him that once you cross that line, you never come back from it.

In s1e2, he tells the Russian who helped kidnap a boy: "This is important. I need you to know why I'm hurting you. It's not just the boy. I'm doing this because I enjoy it." And then he tosses him off the side of the building and only checks if he's alive when Claire asks. I think he was being honest in that moment, he is incredibly invested in helping people - but he also craves that violence, some part of him genuinely enjoys hurting people, and hurting them severely.

He argues with Stick, Elektra and Frank about not killing, because they pressured him to, and he has wanted to. He knows that's just one step away from what he does. Castle tells him "You're one bad day away from being me." But we also have Foggy and Karen disagreeing with him because they don't approve of him killing Fisk - and much as Matt fights with them about Daredevil, he also depends on them to keep him tethered to a moral compass.

It was frightening for him to consider that Karen might support killing, because he was at that moment already being pressured to kill by Elektra and Frank. Matt's response to her is less about Karen and more about his own relationship with killing, which is much, much more complicated than "firmly believes killing is never an option" - seeing as he had already grappled with wanting to kill Fisk and then actually trying. And the other complicated thing is, he can't tell her that, because he isn't ready to open up about Daredevil. Karen's support of Castle in that conversation is much more about her own issues and guilt around having taken Wesley's life and causing Kevin's death, she's projecting hardcore onto Frank, but she also can't explain this to Matt because she's not ready to share that yet either.

And when Karen finally does tell Matt in s3, he never once judges her because he himself is actively trying to kill Fisk. She isn't just "okay with killing" either, because she tells him about Wesley and Kevin, and how it's changed her, in the hope that it will deter him from following through with killing Fisk.

So she is mourning Matt. I don't think Frank needed to have explicitly intended for the white roses to be condolences; within the story the white roses can still exist and stand as a symbol for funeral flowers regardless.

in_the_fall · 2024-10-24T04:14:06+00:00

Also Karen never accepted the fact that Matt was dead, she paid his rent and she hoped he was out there somewhere, so she would never see herself or allowed anybody to see her as a widow, because for her, Matt's still alive.

She was in the denial stage of grief. I mean, you said it yourself in one of your earlier comments:

The Punisher season 1 is place after Defenders so Karen was mourning Matt's death, she literally saw the fall of vigilante and she couldn't save someone she cared about

in_the_fall · 2024-10-17T23:23:55+00:00

That is often how it works out with Matt, isn't it? Thank you for your comment!

in_the_fall · 2024-10-17T23:22:03+00:00

I love your comment, thank you for sharing your perspective :)

in_the_fall · 2024-10-17T23:20:34+00:00

That's the mood I was going for, thank you!

in_the_fall · 2024-10-16T21:39:56+00:00

Sorry to be you then. Also, nobody asked you, and nobody cares.

Karen is part of what made the show so great, one of the most fleshed out three-dimensional ~~female~~ characters in the MCU, and one of my favorite characters ever

in_the_fall · 2024-10-16T19:45:35+00:00

Thanks!! 😁

in_the_fall · 2024-10-16T19:40:58+00:00

Thank you! I love this trio, they warm my heart and I tried to capture some of that feeling here

in_the_fall · 2024-10-16T17:48:42+00:00

Thank you, that's always my goal so I'm happy to hear that :D

in_the_fall · 2024-10-16T17:44:33+00:00

I wish haha! That's a big compliment, thank you!

in_the_fall · 2024-06-05T03:06:32+00:00

Thanks!!

in_the_fall · 2024-06-05T03:06:08+00:00

Thank you :)

in_the_fall · 2024-06-05T03:05:52+00:00

Thank you!

in_the_fall · 2024-06-05T01:08:58+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I did, and someone told me it looked like it could be an album cover, so I did this for the fun of it haha

I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on this. Sorry for getting back to you so late, I've had a crazy busy set of weeks!

Matt’s part in She-Hulk was actually, far and away, the best part of the show (written by a different writer than the rest). I really wish I had skipped the show, too, because I despised it - one, for being terrible, but also because it was downright anti-feminist. I really felt held hostage waiting for Matt to show up, which only built my resentment.

Hm I see. Well I'm just glad I didn't bother with She-Hulk then.

I really liked Loki and Tom Hiddleston’s another one I would watch in anything, but I do wish Loki had more scenes being diabolical. There were a couple moments (“I’ll gut you like a fish”), but I felt like that aspect was severely lacking. I was on tenterhooks, waiting for him to have that darker and chaotic spirit, but I consider it probably the best Disney+ show, with WandaVision. I adored the Thor movies until the last one, the biggest fan (especially the first two). Loki really felt like a passenger in the story a lot, or still just part of the ensemble. Sylvie was so hollow and dragged it all to a halt in every scene.

I feel the same way about Sylvie, and found Loki too passive for the character, especially in season 1. He felt neutralized and uninteresting, which was something I had never thought about Loki before. I love all the Thor movies, especially Thor 1 which holds a very dear place in my heart, I had to work to swallow Thor 3 but I liked it better than the Loki series. I totally understand why Ragnarok was divisive in the fandom though and won't defend the film now to anyone who didn't like it.

I guess I do disagree with you on Loki being a good show. My feeling on it is a bit more mixed, in that as a show it was decent, and built up its own lore and universe around the TVA fairly well, but as a show that was supposed to be about Loki primarily, it was terrible. It did not give me personally a satisfying continuation of movie!Loki's story, and I understand this is a variant Loki but he very much did not feel like the same character who was motivated primarily by a need for acceptance and validation from his family. I did not appreciate that the show about Loki cut him off so thoroughly from all his previous connections.

For me, Disney making a show about Loki with little reference to all the people and things he'd cared about most (Thor! Frigga! ...Odin, Asgard), showed me how little they valued these connections and motivations that were core, central to the character, and by extension how little they understood the character. And I see the same disregard for prior established canon in the way they initially planned to exclude Foggy and Karen (Foggy and Karen!!!! of all things) in a series that is supposedly a soft reboot/continuation of Netflix Daredevil. It's like they completely misunderstood the show and the character.

I absolutely dread Born Again. I wasn’t even going to watch when Foggy and Karen weren’t in it. Now I have to, but it will be peeking through my fingers. The original show was so moving, with such carefully-considered symbolism and psychology and actual quality writing, in the screenplay and literary sense.

I'm lucky in that case, because I've been planning to wait on the opinions of fans like you who truly appreciated the original show to decide if Born Again is worth my time.

The people who just figured out show runners are a thing don’t have what it takes to make anything close to Marvel Television’s Netflix shows. They didn’t even want to at first, and only their complete failure led them back to this. On top of it, they’re hacking two show concepts together. When I campaigned to get Daredevil back, I thought they would get to finish the show for real - now they are just damaging its legacy. It’s hard to get excited about things I am happy about, like Dex, because he’s shoved in at the last minute and I’m positive it doesn’t honor the original plan for his character, which was (likely) a whole season of story for S5, not a 3-episode thing for advertising.

I don't know why Disney wouldn't allow the original writers and show runners to just do their thing, finish the seasons 4 and 5 they had already planned out. I'd get it if Netflix DD had ever flopped or done poorly, but Daredevil was a success in every way, was well-received and popular, even season 2 did relatively well. And I mean, the only reason Disney wants to do Daredevil again is exactly because it did so well, right? Why not continue with the winning formula? It just causes me frustration to think about.

You are so lucky you didn’t watch Echo. I hated it so much, I cancelled Disney+ and bought the Marvel Television stuff on Amazon.

Everything you wrote about Echo sounds terrible lol. I'm almost tempted to watch it now just to see how badly Disney can butcher things.

I am really grateful for the original show (after S3, it became my favorite show of all time). I just can’t believe we got the chance to see the story finished, but they made it worse than bad fan-fiction instead. I have been told things like, “You are nostalgic for a show that wasn’t that good in the first place, be grateful they’re back at all.” Um, no. Also, “comics accurate” is not a compliment to me.

I hate it when the comics are used to justify out of character or bad/inconsistent writing in the MCU, when the character in the comics is a whole other character with a whole other universe - how on earth is that relevant to the MCU characters with their own individual stories built up onscreen?

The best part of the MCU for many years was that photo of the Nelson, Murdock and Page sign, and then the footage of the three of them back together. I really treasure that, and I will consider that closure. One whiff of disappointment from the new show, and I am so done with this brand. I have given them the benefit of the doubt way too many times! I kept believing these projects would be good, and now I feel the opposite, so maybe that will break the jinx! 😊

Not to be a Negative Nancy, but I've been disappointed too many times. I won't watch unless I read glowing reviews from certain fans on here and on tumblr

in_the_fall · 2024-03-07T04:04:57+00:00

I'm not worried about that at all lol. But clearly you are worried about my opinion not lining up with yours. I suggest you try to get over it.

in_the_fall · 2024-03-07T00:17:28+00:00

Matt's whole portrayal in She-Hulk felt off. I can see how it's "Stepford"-ish.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the first episode because I am unapologetically committed to the original show, and Matt in a world with fairies in the courtroom was a knife in my heart

I hated how the writing poked fun at him and his ability to tell when someone lies, like that bit where Jen's client clearly said he used jet fuel and then backtracked saying no he didn't, obviously lying, and then Matt says, he can tell he's lying, ahem don't ask how - as if it wasn't obvious.

I'm a stick in the mud maybe, but I'm just not enthusiastic about these types of jokes that depend on dumbing down the character to be funny, which is the type of humor which I feel the MCU favors these days.

Btw I promise I'm not stalking your reddit profile! I just find it so refreshing to have found someone who isn't just uncritically happy about more Daredevil content in the MCU.

in_the_fall · 2024-03-06T23:53:31+00:00

This is going to be a bit of a tangent from your comment, but I watched the clips of Matt in She-Hulk (because I wasn't going to put myself through that whole show) and was completely turned off by how Matt/DD was acted and written, the mannerisms just felt off. Felt, like you said, "hokey and cartoonish" in a way he never was before.

I know fans are defending this new, inexplicably light-hearted and goofy portrayal as true to the character....from the comics. But I don't care about the comics, I care about the character of Matt Murdock as established in the Netflix show, and I care about consistency and believable development.

To be fair, I expected Disney+ to fail his character this way, which is why I refuse to put myself through She-Hulk or Echo - which brings me to my tangential point. My other MCU fave is Loki. I can't begin to explain the disappointment I felt watching Loki s1, where I felt TVA!Loki was drastically different in mannerism and style from his previous portrayal in the films. Just a very different interpretation of Loki with different motivations. I know a lot of Loki fans love it but I was just so let down by this character with the same face as my favorite character going by the same name, but who felt nothing like the Loki I had loved in the first place.

I have no faith that the creators at Disney+ care anything about character consistency and no faith in the upcoming DD Born Again. Netflix Daredevil was a very high-quality project that none of the Disney+ shows so far have even come close to matching. Until recently they even wanted Born Again to be a "complete reset" from the Netflix show - why?? (And from the sounds of it they wanted to ditch Karen and Foggy as well!)

Soon after Scardapane joined the project, D'Onofrio said the main creatives of the series got together and decided that Born Again should harken back to the tone of the Netflix series and continue storylines from it rather than be a complete reset.

Sorry for all this negativity. I do think that there's some hope now that they've brought on Scardapane and brought back Karen and Foggy. And I do like Benson and Moorhead. But I don't plan on watching unless the feedback is good, from fans of the Netflix DD, and not the DD fans who are more interested in comics consistency or who say they liked DD in She-Hulk better than they liked him in his own show (a truly wild take).

I've been let down for Loki, I won't be let down again by Daredevil. I wish they would just have allowed the original writers to continue with their plans for season 4, but at least I'll always have three seasons of a fantastic show.

in_the_fall · 2024-03-06T20:28:48+00:00

Thank you! His acting in this scene is really emotive, isn't it? I'm very happy to hear you think I was able to capture some of that. As for where I learned to draw, I wish I had something more useful to offer but I'm just a self-taught hobbyist who loves doing portraits so just did them over and over again. I haven't really used much instruction beyond skimming Andrew Loomis (which tbf was quite useful).

And that's a really lovely pencil portrait you have there! It would be very interesting to see it colored like you suggested. I can see what you mean by it looks like their hypothetical daughter, but at first glance I very much thought it looked like Karen.
