Daredevil delivers a Kingpin origin episode as good as any fan could hope for.
But that presents us with a problem.
How do we approach reviews?
Its the Kingpin origin episode, and its as good as any fan of Fisk couldve hoped for.
Its interesting, too, that from Wesleys expression looks like he didnt know Fisk spoke Chinese and Japanese.
Its a small moment, but a nice one for both characters.
Of course, one wonders how Wesley feels about that lack of trust.
This episode is, after all, about the parallels between Fisk and Murdock.
Its not particularly subtle (what about this show is?)
I do have to take issue with the fact that Blake apparently survived that gunshot, though.
Not with a sniper rifle.
Not against a basically stationary target.
He couldve made that kill with a penny!
Now, the nerdy bits.
As you do when clothing sales take a downturn.
He later reformed and began to supply costumes to superheroes and criminals alike.
Hes got no powers, but he is an expert with edged weapons.
Doesnt take a genius to translate that.
Its worth noting, too, that Leland has a son.
Could be short for Leland Owlsley Jr., right?
Clearly, its a bad time to be good.
One cant help but wonder about his suit getting a shade lighter, too.
Is he going to wear the full Kingpin Whites by the final episode?
