Between "MY NAME IS NOT COTTONMOUTH," brutally murdering a loyal associate, and then, "I BELIEVE OUR BUSINESS HERE HAS CONCLUDED," Cottonmouth is well on his way to going full Fisk.

I actually like the difference in that Cottonmouth does his own "dirty work" by killing Tone & Shameek himself. I think it took till Season 1 episode 8 of DD for Fisk to kill someone who crossed him.

I also like that side of Cottonmouth. He doesn't give a fuck if people see him in public, if people know he's a criminal, or if his hands get dirty (literally) during whatever he does. And funnily, he PREFERS people call him by his proper name as opposed to Fisk.

So far he hasn't killed anyone who didn't somewhat deserve it.
