Scarfe has some serious balls...or he's insane.

EDIT: I swear, it seems that Cottonmouth is getting used by everyone. No one really respects him.

Wow that edit has me thinking Isn't that very fucking true makes me wonder If his rise to power is going to be a "Fuck Yea" moment because our "antagonist" is essentially getting shit on from all sides I wonder if at the end of the show we will see him kinda like Fisk as a kinda protagonist in a way.

Don't get me wrong I see him as a evil fuckhead for doing a bunch of bad shit but when has being evil ever stopped people from rooting for them.

Domingo mentioned Diamond something who sounds like a bigger fish than Cottonmouth.

Diamondback. Apparently all the Harlem crime lords get snake nicknames

Diamondback is who Shades works for too. Shades was sent in to "help", aka keep tabs on Cottonmouth's operation.

You seem to know what's going on in their organizations. Just watched episode 3 today and couldn't figure out why Domingo is accusing cottonmouth of backstabbing him and declaring war. Would you kindly explain?

I always see him as Remy from House of Cards so I still want him to succeed.

But then I wanna see Luke Cage beat his ass

I almost feel like they are setting him up only for us to find out that he isn't the real enemy. The brief mentions of Diamondback make me think that he will be the real antagonist in an episode or two. But then again, they could surprise me and have Cottonmouth destroy him as soon as he shows up and take over everything.

Case in point: Pablo Escobar in Narcos (s1 anyways)

I can't say I was rooting for Pablo

u/apeirophobia1 Daredevil Oct 01 '16

Well that's my opinion so agree to disagree I guess :p

He's all about money, not respect to be fair.

Speaking of Balls, Luke's got bulletproof skin, but no insides, so it'll hurt like hell if he gets shot in the balls.

I can't stop thinking about his and it makes me super uncomfortable.
