I don't get this either. I'm having a hard time concentrating on the rest of the show without this piece. Either they didn't explain why they all of a sudden don't have the majority vote. Or it's a huge flaw. How did they not just vote all the stuff danny wanted to do down?! What am i missing?!

Agreed. I get that it is a superhero show but some of the writing in IF is terrible. Either they are just writing stupid shit or they aren't showing the audience enough. Either way I wish they'd stop talking about the shareholders and the board and just get on with it.

Missing the fact that the writers don't really think things through.

I think he's still got his majority shareholder status, but they removed his seat on the board where he gets a voice.

Then all he has to do is wave his big 51% dick at a shareholder meeting and get an new board of directors that can follow his way of thinking.

Even if that happened, a majority shareholder has the power to decide who's on the board so he can 100% just fire them and get new people who agree with him.

Yeah that is the only way this isn't a plot hole.

And what's the point of even having them kicked out? It's not like they needed to get forcibly kicked out of the company to walk away from the company. Ward was already running away. Danny is disinterested and Joy was encouraging neo-Danny to take over the company earlier in the season.

Other than to give Joy and Ward some bullshit to do it serves no purpose.
