History Headscratchers / Daredevil2015Season3

** Neither. It was all [[ManipulativeBastard Fisk]]. It's later revealed that Fisk controls many agents in the FBI through blackmail and whatnot (including Nadeem's boss). This was all part of a big scheme by Fisk to get Dex on his side: he had his agents in OPR open an "investigation" into the shooting attack, then he'd lie to the agents who questioned him, with the expectation being that Dex would see him lying on tape, and confront him about it, allowing Fisk to now feed Dex his poison about society not understanding him.
** While Dex's actions shooting the men who were actively surrendering were extreme, they were justifiable. Had he apprehended the final two, ''maybe'' he would have been fine in the long run. However, OPR still would've had to investigate it. An investigation is standard procedure whenever a police officer uses lethal force in the line of duty. And Dex just took out more than a half-dozen men in one fell swoop. The number of situations where a cop can justify doing that is incredibly slim, and the FBI would want to confirm that this was in fact one of those situations. So Dex being investigated is routine. But the suspension was Fisk's doing, as he had the story leaked to the press.

** Yes and no. When they fought hand to hand, Matt clearly came out on top, and with his peak agility, reflexes, senses, and the suit, he could've closed the distance between him and Dex much more often and landed heavier blows, especially with his nilly clubs. Also, the suit ''would'' protect Matt from the majority of Dex's projectiles. Some of them though, like the scissors Dex uses to wound Matt in the ''Bulletin'' attack, would still penetrate it. Furthermore, just like Matt figures out by the church attack he has to focus on Dex's exposed jaw area, Dex would do the same to Matt with his projectiles. So Matt would certainly have more of an advantage with the suit, but Dex would be able to compensate for that, and spamming projectiles at a single area could be brutal.[[note]]Notice how Matt and Dex learn from each fight. At the ''Bulletin'', Dex thinks he can take Matt up close, then learns he has to stay at range, and vice versa with Matt knowing he has to focus on damage with the Muay Thai ropes. Matt subsequently adapts to Dex's fighting style in the church with the grappling and punches (if Matt didn't get distracted by Father Lantom dying, he could've ended the fight earlier, as he had the upper hand and was landing hit after hit on Dex), and in Fisk's penthouse by using the chandelier fixtures as batons to deflect projectiles.[[/note]]

* Karen's reaction when Matt appears at her apartment to ask her to track down Jasper Evans is baffling. I mean she paid for his rent, hoped he might had survived and when he stands in front of her...she's angry at him? I can get her anger since Fisk has sent the FBI after them, but you'd think that since a missed friend of hers showed up that damaged looking, she would be happy that he is alive, ask for explanations... and try to help. Also, she was very rude to Matt saying he owed her for the rent. How do you expect him to pay you back, Karen? He doesn't have a job, so he has no money.
** Hell, why didn’t she ask him about his reasons to not show up earlier? Just from looking at him she should be able to tell that he obviously had no nice, relaxing time. Now he sits in front of her and asking for help. It would make more sense for her to run up to him and hug him tightly, then ask what happened in a gentle voice. Maybe even convince Matt to move in with her until Fisk was locked up again. And a "I will agree to help you if you tell me what you did to get Fisk to send the FBI after us."

** Season 3 (but also season 2 more) has a lot of moments where things would be solved if two characters just spoke to each other for a few minutes and said "What is up with you?" This is one of those, where it would've made sense if Karen backed off him. Not only that, but Matt is also obviously shown to be someone who feels cornered or guilty when people are confrontational with him. So the direct "What the fuck is wrong with you?" approach that Karen and season 2 Foggy use with him? Pretty much never going to go well. But if Karen tried an indirect approach, like maybe being less angry, that would've done things better. How Karen handled his reveal wasn't all that great either. He put it all on the table and she then went on the attack. Understandable, but still..

** It's a little unreasonable for Karen. They haven’t seen each other for months, he came back from the dead and all she does is talk about her neighbor? I get that she is mad at him but her reaction doesn’t feel natural. As in, it doesn't feel very natural to me for Karen to speak in anecdote like she does. Father Lantom is the type of character who does that. It would have been just as effective for Karen to say, "What's the point?" or something similar, without the anecdote (Not saying Karen would never tell stories about her past. I'm saying, that she’s not really the type of character to start telling a seemingly random, unrelated story that you don’t get the point of until the end. Like, if you ask Father Lantom about a religion question, it would seem much more natural for him to start telling a story as a way of making a point instead of just answering you. But with Karen, it just kind of screams, “a writer wrote this”.)
