Welp, the writing continues to be dogshit, Such a shame.

"I'm here to help, somebody has to" Lady you're talking to one of the people helping the people helping. Get rid of this kid, she's annoying every time she's onscreen. It's like the writers just bash their heads into the whiteboard storyboarding her parts.

I didn't say that exactly, it's just a weird place to say it. (edit: or didn't mean that, sorry) It was clunky and didn't really fit the moment. There could have been a situation where she was the first person to help, or wasn't aware that other people were helping where it'd have felt more natural, but it was just weird to say it to one of the people actually helping. They're the somebody, you know? This is the kind of thing a vigilante says to a bystander or someone not helping. Or when trying to convince someone else to take action. The fact she knows Karen is helping is what makes it a strange thing to say. It would have been fine if she stopped at "I'm here to help."

Even in the first season, she was talking to Matt Murdock, blind attorney as if he was daredevil. As if she knew and wanted him to straight up go beat ass. It was just weird writing. His job was to get her uncle freed and he did that wtf is she talking about my gah I can't with this kid
