      Re Super powered Fisk, I’m curious to see how he fairs against someone like Jessica Jones or Luke Cage. Fisk is definitely strong, definitely stronger than the average person, but I don’t know if he’s actually that super powered.

      He seems to be on the same level as Matt when it comes to strength, with Matt being a bit more agile and Fisk being a bit more brute strength, but still roughly evenly matched.

      I’m for one glad that they brought back D’Onofrio. His portrayal of Fisk has been a boon for Marvel. Honestly having a complex villain with such a strong presence makes the MCU through line for the Street level heroes much stronger then morass that the Avenger level heroes are dealing with.

        Also the parallels with Fisk / Trump are extremely topical now. Had the exact same episodes get released a few years from now, they’d probably be less impactful. I can’t imagine how these episodes would have landed just a few months ago with the ICE operations in minneapolis being in full swing.

          Yeah I didn’t want to wade in to the political fight but the parallels between Trump - Kingpin and ICE - AVTF, are really striking. They almost remind me of Andor in their discussions of rising fascism and the literal police state. This is my worry about the end of season 2, it all came a bit too pat for me but I have faith they’ll pull it together in the long run.

      Fisk is boring in the disney, the character is great but the iteration is not. The voice, intonation and how he carries himself is just annoying.

          I find fisk a bit of a bore to be honest, it was better in the original but I haven’t gone back to it in awhile either.

          The actor is incredible in loads of things, but his way of carrying Fisk is dull. Slow weird talking, he looks like the make up department are not finished yet. The white suit doesnt help either, he used to mix up his styling a lot more.

          I think the Disney one is just a bit of rethread and going for gasps over story which bores me to no end. Everyone else is doing good, I’ll tune in again if Fisk is gone.

          Truly bizzare that everyone ended up in prison except the guy smashing brains of constituents in front of everyone. Dont care allegorically or otherwise it is poor writing. They wanted that acene but not the consequences.

              Totally.

              I was all up for a Ronin style bullseye. It would have even been interesting to have bullseye not want to hurt DD because of his guilt and growth but to still be a punisher type killing as he pleases, those who he thinks have wronged him or someone.

              DD could want to stop him as a violent criminal.

              I am disappointed in the season. Disappointed that I dont like Fisk too.

    If you’re like me and were expecting some Punisher this season, there’s a special coming out next week called The Punisher: One Last Kill

    Daredevil shows and hallway fight scenes, name a better duo.

    I loved Fisk just crushing the different Daredevils as he marched down the hall. I’m amazed that Fisk is just free after all of this.

    Also Mathew Lillard seemed underutilized this season, but he’s swapped Luke Cage for Bullseye, so I’m curious to see how that develops.

      This hallway scene with Fisk seemed inspired by Rogue One with Vader, and the hallway scene in the original series was inspired by Oldboy. Which other famous hallway scenes should they do next?

    What a crock, Fisk physically butchers civilians while negotiating ad nothing happens. Way too much.

    I really enjoy DD but D’onofrio is to hammy as Fisk. The voice is so strange and physicality is off.

    I was hoping for DD seeing the city tear him apart as justice, or for him to have to do it. Getting off scot free is bs, I really wanted him removed as a character going forward.

    Also why did Bullseye go to work for another kingpin style guy.
