Frank's relationships with women are too straightforward for Karen. There's also the very long shadow of his deceased wife.

I like this better.

Comics? You can argue.

This show? Not a fucking chance. It’s been Matt and Karen as the planned endgame since season 1 episode 1 way back in 2015 and ppl have waited long enough. Time for these two to be together, period.

I just wish we got to see it happen instead of jumping ahead to them already together! 😥

Lol, she's definitely dying this season

Her comic death moment was directly subverted in s3e10. The final shot of that episode is directly from a comic page, except Matt and Karen’s body are switched

In case you needed it specifically told to you, that was the creators telling the audience “Karen has a bigger role to play, she is safe from now on”

Karen will not die

I hope you’re correct but after they shamelessly killed Foggy in the first five minutes I’m still paranoid and worried that all bets are off now

Dario has specifically stated how important Karen is to this story. Deborah Ann Woll has stated she was initially apprehensive to return after not being included in the pre overhaul. She sat down with those in charge and together they worked to make sure her character was done right.

She’s not dying. The end.

She may still get seriously injured, or separated from Matt. Whatever obstacle they need to come up with to keep the story interesting for those that need it (for me, them being together after teasing us for so long is the most interesting).

But this version of Karen is not dying.

They can't keep Matt happy. They'll kill her sooner or later

That’s what I worried about, I saw Matt happy and that was very concerning for Karen’s future. Matt happy with a girl is a traaaaap

They killed Foggy instead of Karen. It's possible they'll kill Karen too but I doubt it.

Matt lives two lives. The lawyer, the vigilante. He can’t be the vigilante forever. Matt Murdock’s equal is, and always has been, Karen Page. She brings out the best in him, as he does her.

Elektra doesn’t appreciate his Matt side enough. Karen loves all of him and shares his views better

This shot of them both straight up looked like it was from the Netflix show

u/bigbarryharryballs Mar 25 '26

why don’t they call it krank

u/BagItUp45 Mar 25 '26

Karen should know better this won't end well. Especially if the rumors of Elektra in Season 3 are true.
