Marvel's Daredevil: 18 Problems With Season 2
2. Where Are The Orchids?!
I know that this is all due to the characterization of Elektra and her general aura as an enigmatic, heart-stealing warrior who exits your life as quickly and nonchalantly as she entered (right after she turned it topsy turvy), but if the woman sacrificed herself for you, I’m sure you’d have something to say at her very lonely funeral.
This is what Matt Murdock, oh wise conjurer of philosophical debates revolved around the moral intricacies of justice and vengeance, had to say at his lover's funeral (the woman he was prepared to drop everything for):
‘I wanted to say a few words about her. I don’t have any.’
Are you serious, Matt? That’s all you got? I mean, Stick simply said, in his smary way, ‘God rest her soul’, because Stick IS a smarmy !*$%. But Matt, who can have a heart-to-heart with Frank Castle of all people, chose that zinger for Elektra’s funeral. Then he tries to tell Stick that he was all like, 'Pfft, I didn't love her' and Stick is like, 'Sure, buddy'.
And to make it all worse? He tells Stick that she likes orchids. WHERE ARE THE F***ING ORCHIDS THEN, MATT?!
No wonder Elektra is going to be resurrected for the third season; she has to get revenge for the worst funeral ever.
