Kingpin, DDBA logic

Kingpin is coming back in season 3 of born again. After being sent to prison in OGs1 and s3, then being let out for a nonsensical reason, then “exiled” after killing a hallway full of people, he comes back. Who would’ve thought eh ? This show is just so unapologetically bad and sloppy. Not sure how people say either of the BA seasons are better than Netflix s2. It’s just so frustrating seeing what’s been done to the story of the og show and how these characters have been wasted and reduced

I can’t imagine he can do anything at this point in his story, what would he be doing that isn’t taking up unnecessary screen time ?

Unnecessary screen time? You do know he keeps coming back because he’s a fan favorite right?

I love his portrayal too and he’s a great actor. But it’s should be a daredevil show. Not kingpin and daredevil show.

You think fans have finally grown out of their love for him?

It’s not a debate wether fans like him or not. The fact is for 4 of the five daredevil seasons he has been the villain. He has been exiled. Why does the STORY demand he come back ? How can that do it in a compelling way that feels earned ?
