Yeah I always liked he was blind. I really liked Helen Keller as a child too. Peoples other senses can be heightened to compensate. Daredevil feels more because he can't see he has sensitivities to tone of voice and things others don't. Fisk probably thinks of "beauty" as a distraction he seems very focused on the business end of things instead.
You missed another parallel: The source of Wilson Fisk's power is his brain. He is athletic, but otherwise physically normal. He can do what he does because he understands how people think, how their institutions work, and how to use that to get what he wants. Robert Moses had a doctorate in Political Science from the University of Berlin. He used his intimate knowledge of law and governance to get elected officials to empower him without realizing the implications of what they were doing before it was too late. Someone being smart doesn't make them humane. Ask Dr. Mengel.
@@willdgol7501 Yeah. Because he works out almost constantly. In the comics, he allows people to think he's fat when in fact he has only 2% body fat. He's built like a tank. Apparently he had a weight problem as a child, and in what would become typical fashion for him, he overcompensated to the extreme.
@@dragos8839 completely wrong bro. 2% bodyfat is dead. 3% is necessary for life in male humans. Search up Andrea's munzer a deceased bodybuilder infamous for his leaness who reached around 4%, he doesn't look like he has skin.
i disagree, the same line i go with is "one mans freedom fighter is another man terrorist" so in this case one person's savior is another's oppressor, so yea, you can be both
I don't think Ive. Ever feared a Villain the way I fear Wilson Fisk. His scenes made my heart rate rise. The menacing of his whole persona. And I think the video here is right to say that he is more terrifying or threatening because of how real he seems. Most of the time the villain seems to be there just to let the super hero show off their skills/gifts. But not Fisk. This whole show so underrated. It's too bad I was one of the ignorant ones that doubted the genius of the show/characters. But also is very sad that this show was around when it was difficult to trust super hero genres such as X-men. I was tired of being disappointed.
I'd say it's more that Daredevil cares about the people of Hell's Kitchen, while Fisk only cares about the place. I mean, neither Fisk nor Moses actually helped anyone as a result, they just created a nicer looking place.
This is almost at the Stalinist level of evil genius. What a Will, though. A corrupted, flawed, morally blind Will . One has to admire the drive to the aesthetic, to the beautiful. But it came at too high a cost.
I agree - Wilson Fisk is the "best" Marvel villain I've ever seen. This video was very interesting - even my kids wanted to watch it, and they mostly like cartoons still. It was a great teachable moment for all of us.
My take away from this is if we have real people like Wilson Fisk we need real people like Daredevil. I'm going to dress up in a colorful full body kevlar suit and fight armed criminals with my hands. Who's with me?
Just buy a .22 rifle and a scope make a suppressor and get trained on how to shoot in one day you can do more to fight crime than a city's police in a year.
I'm from New York originally. We have a reputation for putting up controversial strongmen for positions of power. William Tweed, Teddy Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, Robert Moses, Nelson Rockefeller, Mario Cuomo, Rudi Giuliani, Elliot Spitzer, Anthony Weiner, Michael Bloomberg, Andrew Cuomo and Peter King.
2 keys to a great antagonist; a good character profile and a display of their Talents and/or intelligence. Like Wilson Fisk, the Joker is a great example of this.
I assume that's a good thing? The way I look at it, the lessons FEE has always tried to impart are all around us if we know what to look for. What better way to explain some of our core values than showcase them when they pop up in culture? -Sean
Robert Moses also contributed to the demolition of Manhattan's, as well as some of Brooklyns elevated train lines. While many at the time believed that elevated trains blighted neighbourhoods, it was in fact their demolition that led to the further concentration of poverty within New York City.
Fuuuu... This is one of the best anti-collectivist anti-statist videos I've seen. The most convincing arguments are true with a rhetorical flourish. Brilliant.
Individuals coming together to shape their communities is a collectivist idea. That is the one central tenants of collectivist philosophies. And if Wilson Fisk is doing so in order to gain monetary gain for his private business, then the problem, besides that the state that helps capitalists gain money by hurting people of lower classes, is the capitalist gaining money by hurting people of lower classes. Robert Moses also removed people he accused of being communists from office. Painting him as a progressive is at least dishonest
Rodrigo de Moraes Also, I hope no one comes away from this (albeit well-made) villain video and think Kingpin is good for just this rebuilding scheme. A cursory look unto the Daredevil comics or even the 90's Spider-Man cartoons will show you that Wilson Fisk has his fingers in just about every earthly criminal pie possible. That's probably why Frank Castle is still waiting for a better moment to kill him: killing him right now would disrupt everything.
@@davidw.2791 true. Kingpin os the comics, just like in the netflix series, is basically involved in all illegal activities. However, contrary to the comics, netflix kingpin seems to be more, human. Someone who really thinks he is a force of good, as he himself tries to point out in the samaritan speech.
Wurzel he was amazing in season 1, season 2 he only cameod in one or two episodes (but was still great). However, season 3 he was taken to a new level. He was incredible. He became the best villain in all of the MCU at that point.

Yet, like every great facility built in New York, they came at the expense of the poor and many non-whites formerly living there. Truth can be stranger than fiction 🇵🇷🇺🇸😊
My favorite is Agent Orange. His character may be pretty motiveless but I love how evil he is. It takes an extremely evil character to make me cheer at getting his eyes punched out.
Hi Sean: Caro's biography is one of the best books ever (monumental in size, befitting Moses and Fisk). The greatness of the book is in its way to present a more balanced view of Moses, warts and all. This nuance is of course lost when you compare him to a comic book villain, but Vincent D's Fisk works so well because you can wrap your head around Fisk's humanity and even has you rooting for him in some situations. "In order to make an omelette you need to break a few eggs" is a good counter to the video's takeaways (no, they really shouldn't be broken in car doors). Many governments today are simply unable to do infrastructure work because there are SO many interest groups to consider - the Pacific NW is a good example as the smallest environmental impacts can paralyze an project for years. NIMBY is now the rule rather than the exception and it seems the pendulum has swung too far the other way (but always in the favor of the moneyed parties, that hasn't changed)
While I really loved Kilgrave from Jessica Jones I’ve got to agree that Wilson Fisk is the best villain in the MCU, though damn it Kilgrave is a close second. This is a great video, it’s great seeing this show analysed. I love this show but I’ve always found it tricky to describe what I like so much about, this has definitely helped and for that I thank you.
The stuff where he forced people out of their homes was sad. But ngl, the part that made me hate him was when you said that he was the barbaric swine who destroyed Penn Station. Gosh I'm mad now.
Batroc the Leaper, no contest. The only way he could have been better was if he also had that amazing, not at all stereotypical french villain mustache.
Loki was a poorly written, one dimensional character played in mediocre fashion. He was so predictable that it's actually unbelievable that Thor keeps falling for his BS.
I don't think I would even put him on the list of best MCU villains. Not because I don't like his character, but because the direction of his development made him much less of a villain over time. In his first appearance? Bad guy. In the Avengers? Still bad guy, but actually less of a main antagonist in the grand scheme of things, being Thanos's puppet. In the second Thor movie he becomes less evil and just more chaotic. And by the end of Thor Ragnarok he finally seems like he's redeeming himself from his old edgelord trickster days. I mean he dies in Infinity War trying to save Thor from Thanos. Not something he would have done in the earlier films. Maybe he was overused, but at least all that extra screen time gave him more character development than many other MCU villains get.
I think that we all have a little bit of Wilson Fisk in us. The word Bureaucracy comes from the French word Bureau which means desk. It literally means government from/by the desk. I think bureaucracy is specifically the necessary Evil the founding fathers were concerned with. Organized yes, capable of great feats possibly, but tyrannical always. I think the incompetence and ineffectiveness of bureaucracy has obfuscated the subtle but very dark and real evil that lies beneath. We see glimpses of this whether it was the failures to fix the levies in New Orleans, the way the Federal government treated Indians, or the way a banking institution collapsed our economy. (Multiple times)
Fisk's morning ritual of making omelets ties into this ends and means issue. "You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs". Fisk is willing to break eggs. But human lives aren't eggs.
kingpin is a great villain, but the true no 1 comic book villain is still joker from the dark knight 2008 though i still love this explanation, i learned a lot from this.. thank you !
This actually is happening in my country, with rich men being support by power of government forcing people out of their homes with minimal compensation and the people don't have any means to even question them. It goes like this: the government tells people in the neighborhood that they have a reconstruction plan for that area, so it's the people's responsibility to comply. They get a minimal compensation money and being offered a new place with higher price, so they actually get in a big debt while being forced from their original homes. After several years, the "reconstruction" plan turns out to be government lending out that area to some high power corporation with n times higher price than what they compensate the people, and the corporation uses the area to build high end apartment buildings. So the "plan" is meaningless, while people are forced out of their homes, get a new one with with a big out-of-nowhere debt in their lives, government as the middle man takes money from big corporation while compensate people with minimal amount, and corporate transforms the area from low price living area to high price living area.
Imminent domain is one of those powers that I do not think people expected would be abused when created. I think what people forget is that like every other government power it is supposed to be exercised within the framework, context and constraints of the constitution and the bill of rights.

Yep, from what i have heard. He made the Dodgers move to Los Angeles, where in the process of building the stadium they kicked an entire community of poor people out of their homes.
@@Veela666 that was sorta the point of his character, he was a manchild because his powers meant he never needed to grow up so he didnt but regardless i think we can all agree that he was still a more interesting villain than the ninja dude from iron fist S1 (i dont even remember his name)
Thats why I prefer Marvel Comics over DC comics... Marvel always deals with real world problems and takes place in our world... Always gives you the idea that these adventures might be real... DC has good characters and good stories, but personally I read them as fantasy novels most of the time (Batman has some very good comics and so does Superman when Lex Luthor is the villain)... Btw, very good video, great job!!!
I'm so glad Vincent got to show his true worth in the role of Fisk. Up until Daredevil, I just knew him as the fat guy who shot himself in the head in FMJ.
Wow... Knowing this completely changes the lens through which I view this villan. I loved him, the only thing I liked in daredevil... It is even as if Marvel is then saying "if only the blacks had a white savior back then..." It feels slimy but also unlikely. I guess taking on the macropolitics of the villain would have made the storyline too big.
Real Daredevil would have to be my manger from the Seeing Eye Dogs offices. Minus the suit and equipment, double times the cool heightening of non-visual senses.
oh you meant marvel cinematic universe, rather than the entirety of the marvel universe. Galactus, Thanos, Dr Doom, Green Goblin, Dr Octopus, Magneto, and the Red Skull are pretty great villians
There is only two different thing in this world. Those who like to grow faster by force and others who still live in fantasy world. In the process of Wilson Fisk changing his world, Daredevil took credit by playing vigilante. Wilson Fisk is the reality and Daredevil is fantasy world.
I find Charlie Cox to be more believable as a layered, blind man. Much more than D’Nofrio who whispers and has a pattern of emphasizing words in his lines.
Actually Kingpin was based on Owney Madden. The founder of the Irish mob in Hell's Kitchen back in the 1920s. Owney Madden most people never heard of Owney Madden, and he made sure that it was so.
Fisk vs. Thanos
“You should’ve gone for the” (crushes head with giant SUV)

This made me laugh pretty hard. Thank you.

The floating chair yes😂😂😂
Thanos would win easy. Fisk may be strong but his not that strong.
Makes you think about how Daredevil, who is blind, can see the beauty in the communities of Hell’s Kitchen better than Fisk.
Angela Hsiao Does that make DareDevil the real life Jane Jacobs? 🤔
Loki is the best
A good guy that does good, and a bad guy that destroys the good? Didnt know thats what theyre supposed to do...

I liked your video a very good history lesson.
Fisk seems like he could easily fit in both the Marvel and DC universes
Yep, from what i have heard. He made the Dodgers move to Los Angeles, where in the process of building the stadium they kicked an entire community of poor people out of their homes.
Kilgrave?
Horror Knight another awesome m.c.u villain along with cottonmouth from the first season of luke cage.
cottonmouth was an interesting character but he posed absolutely no threat to luke which really took from his effect from the show
Nope.
On retrospect kilgrave isn't that great of a villain. He's a winny little ten year old that never grew up.
@@Veela666 that was sorta the point of his character, he was a manchild because his powers meant he never needed to grow up so he didnt
but regardless i think we can all agree that he was still a more interesting villain than the ninja dude from iron fist S1 (i dont even remember his name)

Actually, the Dodgers, we're already in Los Angeles by the time Shea Stadium was built.
Thats why I prefer Marvel Comics over DC comics... Marvel always deals with real world problems and takes place in our world... Always gives you the idea that these adventures might be real... DC has good characters and good stories, but personally I read them as fantasy novels most of the time (Batman has some very good comics and so does Superman when Lex Luthor is the villain)... Btw, very good video, great job!!!
*who's the best villain in the MCU?*
That would be Framework Fitz.
The actor is outstanding!
I'm so glad Vincent got to show his true worth in the role of Fisk. Up until Daredevil, I just knew him as the fat guy who shot himself in the head in FMJ.
Wow... Knowing this completely changes the lens through which I view this villan.
I loved him, the only thing I liked in daredevil...
It is even as if Marvel is then saying "if only the blacks had a white savior back then..."
It feels slimy but also unlikely. I guess taking on the macropolitics of the villain would have made the storyline too big.
Real Daredevil would have to be my manger from the Seeing Eye Dogs offices. Minus the suit and equipment, double times the cool heightening of non-visual senses.
Thank God we have men like Robert Moses.
oh you meant marvel cinematic universe, rather than the entirety of the marvel universe. Galactus, Thanos, Dr Doom, Green Goblin, Dr Octopus, Magneto, and the Red Skull are pretty great villians
Please do Punisher!
The master builder also had a brother who owned a chain of bait shops who was a master baiter.
Hulk is not a villain. Because his true self, Bruce Banner, is actually a good man
There is only two different thing in this world. Those who like to grow faster by force and others who still live in fantasy world. In the process of Wilson Fisk changing his world, Daredevil took credit by playing vigilante. Wilson Fisk is the reality and Daredevil is fantasy world.
the means create the ends.
I find Charlie Cox to be more believable as a layered, blind man. Much more than D’Nofrio who whispers and has a pattern of emphasizing words in his lines.
I do not think that Fisk counts among the MCU villains since I am not sure that they are confirmed to exist in the same universe.
...They literally mentioned the Battle of New York, and mentioned the Hulk too.
It would be cool to see this updated in light of "Into the Spider-Verse."
That Wilson Fisk isn't a Robert Moses clone though... What do you think he represents that would make for a good discussion?
Wilson Fisk and Thanos are the GOATs
Actually Kingpin was based on Owney Madden. The founder of the Irish mob in Hell's Kitchen back in the 1920s. Owney Madden most people never heard of Owney Madden, and he made sure that it was so.
We dont say his name
I haven’t watched this yet but the real life Wilson Fisk is Boss Tweed. Don’t know if this is who it’s going to be in the video though.
Anybody else see the irony in his name? Dudes last name is Moses and caused an exodus of the poor and weak from their homes.
He's a PONTIFEX !
He's basically me on the sims or animal crossing, keeping the ethics out to preserve the wholesome community lol
So Jane Jacobs and Robert Caro were the Daredevils to Moses' Fisk?
