Karen or Elektra


I'm a Karen supporter!!!!!!! Can't stand Elektra

reply

Elecktra 100x! She is far more prettier, skilled, witty, tough, and can take care of herself. She understands Matt like no one else could, he even said it.

reply

Elektra, definitely. The fact that Elodie Yung's real life background kind of mirrors Matt kind of intrigues me too.

I didn't mind Deborah Ann Woll's character in True Blood (ie Jessica). Loved her in that show, but I can't stand her in this one, but perhaps it's the way the writers have written her character in the second season.

I didn't mind Karen so much in the first season of the show, but by the second season it got really irritating how often she was in a lot of scenes that you wonder -- why is she there? Not to mention her attempts in becoming an investigative journalist, even taking over the room of the respected one that got murdered in the previous season, when there were probably more qualified ones in that paper, just really annoyed me. The constant whiny voice didn't help either. I am looking forward to the Defenders series coming up. I hope she doesn't show up too much in that series.

Actually, I wouldn't mind if Matt ends up with Claire. I actually liked her the most. I know she's being paired up with Luke Cage, but I always though Jessica Jones should be with Luke (as in the comic books).



Crushes should be like Kleenex -- soft, strong, and disposable.

I find a lot of the hatred of Karen stems from the fact that her single biggest impact in the comics was when she became a drug addicted porn star who sold out Matt's ID for a heroin fix. This led the the "Born Again" storyline and the destruction of Matt's life.

So knowing what her comic character did, it makes people dread that it'll happen here too because it's her characters' defining moment there. In fact, Deborah Ann Woll had to go on record before the release of season 1 to say that she'd been promised that her version of Karen would not do this.

reply

wow, really? I am glad this version will not do this!

reply

Yeah, for the most part, they moved many of Karen's darker comic elements into her backstory.

reply

Karen!

reply

They both need scourging.

reply

Karen all the way!!!

Adding my two cents to this topic again, and I still go with Karen. Sure the fair bit of criticism Karen receives is, well, fair. But ultimately I happen to be fond of her character and I find her to be more appealing than Elektra... in more ways than one.

I don't quite dislike Elektra either, yet she does tend to annoy me comapred to Karen. For example, sometimes she's likable and empathetic, and other times she can be irritating and rather cold (though it's obviously the way her character is meant to be, it can get tiresome). Admittedly she does connect better with Matt, but at the end of the day I don't think she's a better fit for the guy overall. I mean there's so much uncertainty surrounding her, whereas Karen's concern for Matt feels genuine all the time.

Oh, and seeing how much love Claire is getting, I must admit that after Luke Cage and Iron Fist, she's become less of a favorite of mine. Idk, I think what she had going with Matt was nice, but her involvement with Luke & Danny felt uninteresting to me. As for looks, Rosario has always been super attractive but Deborah Ann Woll is the more gorgeous gal in my eyes.

So you think Elektra needs more flagellation?

reply

Karen for me, much more excitement on screen with her.

Elektra is too skinny for me...

reply

Both are really hot ladies
But there will never be anyone hotter than Rosario Dawson-
Ever.
