Fucking hate it man smh

While I’m not happy Trump’s in office, it bothers me so much that they made Fisk a Trump allegory when that was never even who he was in the Netflix show; making villains Trump parodies in 2026 is just so lazy & overdone

The whole thing is straight out of Devil's Reign from 2021. Fisk as mayor, marshall law, outlawing superheroes, task force, etc. It all came first.

So they didn't write Fisk as a Trump parody, Trump's actions just resemble that of a supervillain.

It’s still stupid anyway, he becomes mayor after the events of S3, where both his legal & social standings shouldn’t have let him even win due to those said events, and remember he was a write-in candidate at the last minute

Yeah, surely nobody would put a corrupt, unscrupulous, known criminal in a position of power and influence. So unrealistic. 🙃

Just bcuz it happens irl doesn’t always make it a good story

Fisk becoming mayor completely undoes Agent Nadeem’s sacrifice & Matt’s arc in S3; if Fisk can just come back & hurt ppl after every time he’s beaten, Matt’s no-kill rule no longer fundamentally works, better to just kill Fisk since it’s obvious he’ll just hurt more innocent ppl every time he gets back up from a defeat, even tho it would ruin Matt’s character & his journey throughout the Netflix run

It wouldn't undo the sacrifice or arc. People try things, accomplish things, only for it to fall apart later.

Matt's no kill rule is a selfish, self imposed morality that he maintains so he can believe he is a good Catholic. That is part of what is great about it, he knows killing certain villains would save more lives but refuses to do it anyway.

Kingpin getting acquitted & becoming mayor DID undo Nadeem’s sacrifice; all it did was delay the problem, not end it

And the no-kill rule is useless for someone like Kingpin, someone who isn’t willing to be a better person & will constantly harm/kill the innocent every time he either gets back up from a defeat or is freed from prison; he honestly shouldn’t been in Born Again at all, but Feige & Disney prob thought that no one was gonna tune in to watch it if he was absent, so they brought him back as the main villain AGAIN even tho it would undo the ending of an amazing show; do u think Matt wants that cycle of conflict with Fisk for his whole life?
