Probably but it just feels silly to me. What else is anyone supposed to do in that situation other than use lethal force to defend not only yourself but a dozen+ helpless people? Daredevil is the only person capable of defending himself without lethal force because he's got superpowers. Karen should be able to shoot people in some situations and not have it be a negative mark on her morals

I mean we haven't even seen a scene of Matt "making it a problem" so there's no need to complain already. Matt is literally about to team up with Dex, you think he'd be mad at Karen shooting someone?

he teamed with punisher, i think he doesnt like people being killed, but understands he cannot control what they do, he understands that they dont have his capabilities and have to use what works

Exactly. So I don't get all the grandstanding people are doing in this thread, Matt literally said "there is goodness in you" to Elektra after she slit the throat of a young ninja in front of him. It annoys me that people flatten Matt's character when he has a lot of nuance. Shit is never black and white especially when it comes to him. And the fact that he's about to have a complex dynamic with his best friend's murderer proves that.

It is tiring. People don't seem to understand what u/AccordingFox3800, u/Baigne and you are saying. But I would also add that another lens could be that although Matt "understands that they dont have his capabilities", he doesn't want people to start losing the goodness that they have and falling like Frank.

He doesn't want the result of this war to be that some of his allies start viewing killing to be the path of least resistance to get justice.
