The sense of dread, fear, suffocation, the sheer claustrophobia of the situation Hells Kitchen is in, that trying to do the right thing is nigh on impossible and you will bow to him no matter what. He has such stranglehold through intelligence and manipulation and he does it behind a persona of a man trying to help a city, that is Kingpin.
I’d wager a villain who does villain things because he is a villain simply isn’t as interesting.
I agree, him behind the scenes manipulating people while appearing to the rest of the world as a wrong party was great, especially when we then got the scenes where he unleashed his fury.
That’s why I would want to see a different Fisk in any season 4 (which now will not happen
), a completely unmasked and ruthless bastard that doesn’t care any more about his public face, but is the literal King of Hell’s Kitchen and doesn’t give a gooseberry fool about the world knowing it because he is untouchable.
