I have just finished two seasons of Daredevil TV series and now I can't get enough of it. Nobody can resist comparing both seasons. Some think season 2 isn't as great, some think otherwise and I am on the lather side. Although Elektra's story is a little weak, Punisher's makes up for it. Talking about violence, this show really goes for it, like seriously. There were a couple of scenes where I was like : Holy Shit! If you think Daredevil can take a beating, you probably haven't seen Punisher yet. Punisher is a great character. I actually love him more than Daredevil now. However no matter how great Punisher is, he cannot beat the King, the Kingpin Wilson Fisk.

| Wilson Fisk in Netflix's Daredevil |
Wilson Fisk is someone I don't to be near with. I don't want to be in the same room, not even the same city with him. Not only he physically daunting, his mere aura is already able to kill people. I started the series knowing that he was the villain and it was going to be violent, but still I was not prepared for what was going to happen. The first time he hulked out, my jaw dropped : he freaking bashed the head of a man with a car door until the head was no longer attached to the body!
Even though he is not heavily featured in season two, but whatever scene he is in, he owns it like a boss. When he is not on screen, he will somehow still be there to mess up your mind. Forget about ninjas, what Daredevil should fear the most is Wilson Fisk at the end of the season. His deadly claw is already choking the city before the Hand. Whenever Daredevil is facing the ninjas, I never think that he is going to die. At most he will just be gravely injured. But when facing Wilson Fisk, I seriously think he might have a great chance to end up dead.
The main reason Wilson Fisk becomes such a dangerously likable character got to be the actor - Vincent D'Onofrio. Donofrio, donofrio, funny it sounds so much like doughnut frio, a fried doughnut or a frozen doughnut. May be it is just me. Anyway, after a few episodes in, I found him strangely familiar. Research surprised me. He is the fat guy who got bullied in Full Metal Jacket, the cockroach alien in MIB, and also the mental serial killer in the Cell. Each of these characters is so memorable that I am surprised how he is still only a moderately famous actor. He as Wilson Fisk is again very fascinating. I can't wait to for season 3 and more of him.
