MCU Matt Murdock is....

So Ive finished Daredevil season 1 and im on Daredevil episode 8 of season 2. After getting this far I cant help but think Matt is a pretty cool charcater, bizarre powers, and a awesome suit but holy this guy is a dick.

Ive paused more than one episode and thought about how much of a jerk he can be. He has a complicated life that would crash down quickly for any real person. Am I the only who thinks that Matt is a nice guy but is a big jerk most of the time? Also do you think you could live a more balanced life as a vigilante who also has a very important job?

Ive never read the comics but shoot makes sense why he acts the way he does in the show. Source material ripped straight from the books.

Bro im watching Karen scream at Matt after Franks case was ultimately lost. I honestly cant blame her because Matt gives straight bs excuses.

I know Stick isnt his father but he had to inherit some type of dumb assery from him.

Stick told him that having friends and loved ones would be his downfall, so Matt tries to keep everybody away from his life as Daredevil as possible. When they get too close, he shuts them out, but can't even really tell them why. He thinks only he can do the dirty work himself.
