i think one of the best things about matt murdock as a character throughout born again is his refusal to accept that he is inherently good. what is good? what is bad? how do we determine good and bad? matt thinks he’s a bad person. he thinks he can become better through throwing away the mask, only because he sees the mask as something that isn’t bringing justice to the greater good of the people. he couldn’t save foggy with the mask— he couldn’t bring a greater good to the person who mattered most in his life— so why wear it?

then you look at the way fisk views himself. a man of change, a man reformed, a man who views himself as good because he so terribly wants to believe it. he puts on a performance for himself through the “activism” he chooses, but he knows it’s a game. it always has been. but the definition of good is different in his eyes in comparison to matt.

throughout the entire case of hector ayala, he is positioned to the audience as someone who is good and that’s something we know right from the jump. because he is good. but how can someone who thinks they’re inherently bad (matt) convince people of good? and that’s where his internal struggle is so prominent. he knows the definition of good. he’s a goddamn lawyer. but he positions himself in such a negative way, allowing his emotions to take over the way he views the world as a whole.

foggy is dead. daredevil is dead. hector ayala is dead. karen isn’t speaking to him. fisk is mayor. the one who has to whip you into shape is fucking frank castle and the only thing left of you is an ounce of your religion and a shred of hope that the justice system can work. and you believe things can get better, you believe in a higher being, you believe in the good that can come from bad things, but you don’t believe in yourself. because the world is a fucked place, and you’re one more fucked up thing in the world that cant seem to get clean.

foggy’s blood stains the ground, he want to be good for him, and yet blood still stains his hands. he just doesn’t know: is daredevil’s justice good?

and i think the best thing about brave new world is sam’s authenticity. he’s always been such a down to earth character and someone who strives to be a genuinely good person, but that is shown so heavily throughout this entire film. he wants to do his best, not for him, but in order to give hope to everyone else. he sees the good in people even when he probably shouldn’t. he cares about the ones that are close to him. he makes stupid jokes and is sarcastic around literally everyone because he just wants to build connections and make others comfortable. sam is always having these internal struggles of not living up to steve’s legacy and regretting not taking the serum for himself, but that’s why he’s the perfect person for this job. he’s literally just some guy. he’s just a person, like every other person, and he fights for the good that he sees in others. he gives his all in order to build hope for all. steve knew that. bucky knows that. and the world should see that. sam wilson will always be my cap <33

sambucky hug. sam calling bucky “buck” twice. sam having a picture in a frame of him and bucky. bucky reassuring sam that he deserves this. “i love you, buddy.” im gonna be sick how do i ever recover from this

she is my scar.

do you remember why you hate me?

#bucky on a motorcycle stays on top <333

me, a blind bitch, trying to see the underwater scenes in wakanda forever:

one of the lines that broke me the most from wakanda forever was when nakia said, “but to me, he was everything. my t’challa.” no matter his title, he was always just t’challa to her. and that’s what she loved most about him. she loved everything that the world didn’t know about him, loved everything that he was, loved everything that he stood for. but then she had to deal with the pain of losing him on her own. had to face the fact that she was going to raise their son alone. her everything was gone, but also still lived on in her son. she knew t’challa was going to die and he prepared her for it, but nothing can prepare you for losing your everything. and that’s when my heart breaks. because t’challa was the king of wakanda, the black panther, and a symbol of hope to so many. but to nakia? he was her love. he was her child’s father. he was her everything.
