SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME (2021) dir. Jon Watts
I’m doing a whooooole bunch of these for Marvel Comics! HOW-TO-DRAW SKETCH VARIANTS with these helpful instructions on the back cover!
let me teach u
What about that one time Namor needed a lawyer
For as long as I don’t watch the Daredevil series, I can believe this is the plot of at least three episodes of it.
Avengers MCU AU: Where Captain America invites Daredevil to join the New Avengers
MM: When you invited me to be part of the old Avengers– I told you: My life is a disaster. I don’t get the free pass in the media like you do. I’m in a lot of trouble, and I would never ever knowingly create a situation that would put you and your reputation on the line. And I appreciate that you don’t care– but I do. (New Avengers #3)
Based on Daredevil v2, #20-#25.
Brilliant
AU, but this actually happens in one of the comics
It still amazes me that Foggy actually thought he was going to be a big corporate lawyer who only cared about getting paid.
This is Mr. Stays out all night with his secretary that he barely knows purely because she’s afraid to go home and spends the whole time either making her laugh or trying to get her to believe in the world again.
This is Mr. I can’t speak Spanish but I will not only help this little old lady with her legal problems, I will become her friend and fix up her apartment, all while not really knowing what she’s saying.
This is Mr. Is so busy thinking about the safety of others after being caught in an explosion that it takes him hours to realize he’s been stabbed, despite knowing he was in pain the whole time.
Foggy constantly puts other people first, he can’t stand people being taken advantage of, he is so good, he is so good and don’t think he has any idea how good he is. It must be so automatic to him it doesn’t even register.
Foggy, you adorable little muffin. You could never have cared about money more than people, not for a second.
Well, I wouldn’t know about that, now would I?
but jane and matt meeting thought and her being all reckless and shit and matt finally understands why people are so worried about him
they meet because jane started a fight about public vs proprietary science and then it got physical when someone hit a sore spot and jane got in a good shot and caused some damage and darcy scrambled to find someone to defend her and came up with nelson and murdock.
and when matt meets jane her voice comes from about a foot below where he was expecting and then she moves and he can hear how light she is and he was expecting someone a lot more. well a lot more darcy
Matt you can’t just objection yourself out of getting arrested…
he’s a lawyer he knows what he’s doing
If you're still taking prompts, can I ask for Karen and Foggy meeting Bucky Barnes? I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED, you see...
They meet a lot of angry people in their line of work. It’s kind of par for the course if you’re a defense attorney. Your clients are angry, or scared, with little to no middle ground. This veteran is the angry type. He’s sitting in their office like an unexploded bomb. He has, as far as they can tell, every right to.
“I don’t know if we can actually help him, Karen.”
“He’s homeless, Foggy.” Karen’s doing that thing again, where she radiates righteous anger from her shoes to the tips of her hair. It’s practically crackling off her. “There has to be something we can do. Some charity we can contact.”
“He wants to contact Captain America. I don’t know where you’d even start with that.”
“Maybe they have a public face? A- a press office?” Karen runs her hands through her hair. “Foggy, we’ve got to do something.”
“I know.” Foggy catches her arms, looks into her eyes. “We’ll do it, okay? We’ll- I don’t know, we’ll prove he really did serve with Captain America, and we’ll go down to Avengers Tower if we have to.” He looks over at the guy sitting hunched in the chair. ‘But maybe we’ll get him a sandwich first. And some of the good cookies we keep for fancy clients.”
“Foggy, you know we don’t have fancy clients.”
“Let a man live in hope, Karen.” Foggy straightens his tie and moves to the door, opening it. “Mister Barnes? We’re going to represent you.”
Two days after Steve Rogers and James Barnes were tearfully (and for a few seconds, violently) reunited in the law offices of Nelson and Murdock, Tony Stark showed up.
He rapped smartly on the door, let himself in, and smiled at Karen, who went scrambling for Matt.
She managed to produce a small plate of the very fanciest cookies ever (according to Foggy) and what Mr. Stark deemed an amazing cup of coffee while he was still introducing himself.
“Blind Justice,” Stark said. “Very metaphorical, Mr. Murdock.”
“I do my best,” Matt answered, as Stark crunched quietly on a cookie. “Are you a literary man, Mr. Stark?”
“No. Mathematical, mostly. But I can appreciate a good visual pun.”
Matt’s lips quirked. Stark’s heartbeat was solid and slow – he’d struck Matt as someone who was shallow in his public life, frank and up-front in his personal interactions. Nice to know his assessment had been correct.
Foggy came hustling in, summoned by Karen’s frantic text, and joined Matt at his desk, nervously tucking his hair behind his ears.
“My colleague, Mr. Nelson,” Matt said graciously, as Foggy nearly knocked over the cookie plate. “Foggy, Tony Stark.”
“Hi,” Foggy said.
“Matt Murdock – you’re Battlin’ Jack Murdock’s son, aren’t you?” Stark asked. His pulse said it wasn’t really a question; he must have investigated them. “My dad took me to see him fight when I was a kid.”
“So did mine,” Matt agreed politely. “But I don’t think you’re here to reminisce about my father’s left hook, Mr. Stark.”
“No. I’m here to see what kinds of lawyers you are,” Stark replied.
There was a long silence.
“You don’t, uh, you’re not…” Foggy began.
Stark laughed broadly. “Stark Industries has an extensive legal team. They used to have one just to handle my paternity suits. Those pretty much dried up after Iron Man came on the scene; not sure why, I’m sure a sociologist could tell me. No, I don’t need the two of you personally. But I have people.”
“A few thousand, if memory serves,” Matt said.
“Three thousand, two hundred and forty six employees in the US, most of them in New York state,” Stark agreed. “They sometimes have entanglements. For one reason or another my legal department can’t always represent them. But I like to look after my people, and it’s hard to find an honest lawyer. Are you gentlemen honest lawyers?”
“Would we be in this dump if we weren’t?” Foggy asked.
Matt winced, but Stark just said, “Touche,” and rolled onward. “I’d like to strike you two a deal, off the books so the company’s not involved, keeps things tidier. You become the recommended legal consultancy for Stark Industries employees who can’t be represented by the company; if we can’t help we send them to you, as decent people with reasonable legal skills. You give my people a ten percent break on fees, with some pro-bono work thrown in, say, three per quarter. It’s small time stuff. Landlord disputes, divorces, that kind of thing. You get extra business, I know my people are taken care of.”
“What if they want us to sue you?” Matt asked. “Labor disputes aren’t uncommon, after all.”
“Then I guess we’ll find out if you should be my lawyers,” Stark replied. “Better bring your A-Game, junior.”
“Is this because we helped Captain America?” Foggy asked.
“Partly. Let’s say I like to see heroes get a little leg up,” Stark replied, and Matt’s own heartbeat dipped and rose quickly.
“Heroes?” Foggy asked blandly.
“Well, of course. You boys provide a service most people can’t get on their own; you provide justice, or at least take your best swing. We can’t all fly and shoot energy beams from our chests,” Stark said. His chair squeaked across the floor as he stood. “Now if you trust the handshake of a well-known corporate shark, I’ll trust yours in return.”
Matt could hear Foggy’s pulse flutter wildly with anxiety and confusion. “Shake the man’s hand, Foggy, I don’t know where it is,” he said, and heard the soft rasp of the handshake, Foggy’s quickened breaths. “We’ll be in touch, Mr. Stark.”
“I’ll leave my card with your assistant. Nice to meet you, gentlemen. Steve sends his regards.”
There was a very soft sound, like a leaf falling on the sidewalk, and then Stark left.
“Is that a check he just put on my desk?” he asked Foggy.
“Yeah,” Foggy said, voice strangled.
“Is it a big check?”
“Five figures,” Foggy managed.
“Retainer?”
“No, it says ‘Bucky Barnes’ in the memo line,” Foggy replied. “I think it’s a finder’s fee.”
“Well, I think it’s time we put that in the bank, find ourselves a bar, and spend some of it,” Matt said, standing.
“His goatee is perfect,” Foggy remarked, as they left the office with Karen. “Is it weird I noticed that?”
Matt slapped his shoulder. “Yes. It’s very weird.”
I don’t have a lot of thoughts on Daredevil but these are the thoughts I do have
Def. my thoughts on that scene
