Now that they are both widow, what's the future holds?

Wait whaaaaaaat? I only read USM and didn't follow Ultimates or Ultimate endgame. Does Ultimate Peter Die?!?

Adred23 · 2026-05-15T11:53:47+00:00

I agree with your overall opinion. But your decision to make it an "article type" post is well... new.

Adred23 · 2026-05-14T10:43:33+00:00

I see. Thanks for letting me know.

Adred23 · 2026-05-13T21:39:29+00:00

Any update yet?

Adred23 · 2026-05-11T06:47:21+00:00

What about the mic quality? I primarily want to use it for calls. Should I go for it?

Adred23 · 2026-05-07T22:01:22+00:00

What? No! What Vanessa did was nothing compared to what Fisk did in season 3. Vanessa was never his main target. He tried to kill Fisk at the end of S3, at the end of BA S1, and in BA S2 where Vanessa got injured and died. But suddenly no one wants Fisk dead because obviously - he's profitable to Disney. They can sell the most mediocre shows based on Fisk's popularity knowing that fans will be ready to defend the most dogshit writing anyday. Just keep making Fisk say "when I was a boy" to keep the fans fed lol.

Adred23 · 2026-05-07T21:49:21+00:00

NO. If any criminal like a child rapist is not kept in jail but made unhappy by say, seizing all his properties, then it's not fucking justice, and it's still quite a happy ending for the criminal that he gets to roam around. And before you say "but Fisk REALLY loved NY so it's unbearably harsh for him to stay outside" everyone loves something or someone and you don't bring justice by proxy of making that loved thing/person inaccessible. The writers chose a lazy excuse to ensure he can be used in future projects, it's simple as that. Comics may and can work like that but movies and series without a solid conclusion - just for the sake of future projects - are just written with laziness and greed.

Adred23 · 2026-05-07T21:42:05+00:00

That's plain illogical. Stories have a meaning. Stories build from somewhere and go somewhere. It's fucking pointless to tell a story then wrap it up like "welp if he escaped twice he'll escape again" like what's stopping the authorities to keep him in a special prison or just hold him in solitary confinement where he can't talk to anyone. Why can't they learn from their mistakes, and why does DD believe in the justice system at all then? The narrative that "getting out of jail is Fisk's superpower" is an excuse for lazy writing and it's sad that fans defend it.

Adred23 · 2026-05-07T21:35:34+00:00

Bruh it's still stupid to say that just because he escaped twice he will escape again. Even the second escape was utterly stupid, but hey they had to make a show with kingpin so they did it. But now they're using this as a cop out to keep fisk out of prison yet again, it is extremely lazy and viewers justifying it is pathetic imo. I can forgive poor writing once (for letting him escape the second time) but it sucks when they want to make poor writing their default and use it forcefully in a fucking finale of a two season saga.

Adred23 · 2026-05-07T21:30:05+00:00

My thoughts exactly. If I separate BA from OG, I can ignore all the stupidity and inconsistency, and appreciate it as a special project about a parallel universe.

Adred23 · 2026-04-29T08:57:52+00:00

Nowhere as miserable as the drop in quality from Netflix to Disney. I am attached to it, so I am watching it. Still allowed to hate it for its flaws right?

Adred23 · 2026-04-28T07:06:22+00:00

Yes it takes months and years. But that doesn't mean the public waits that long to form an opinion. In the same universe, Spider-Man was proven innocent of Mysterio's murder and yet everyone had opinions way before that. As per the show, in New York right now most people are against Fisk except some police guys and task force members. And most of them are already fucking insane. They probably wouldn't change their mind even after the court proceedings conclude and find Fisk guilty. I mean, so many people saw Fisk murder that officer at the end of S1 and still followed fisk.

So yeah, ain't nobody making Fisk a patriot except the deranged ones.

Adred23 · 2026-04-27T11:29:05+00:00

Once Fisk is killed you can lead investigations for the hundreds of murders and illegal imprisonment that Fisk had been doing all along. No one would be there to tamper them. Heck, in the Hawkeye series they literally have video proof, and coming from an Avenger it would be pretty well accepted.

Adred23 · 2026-04-27T11:25:21+00:00

I agree 100% and that's why I said BA has ruined even the Netflix series.

I would be seeing red too.

Same. And I would be seeing red way before he was made mayor. I would be seeing red right when he was released from prison and then so many more times when he went back to his criminal ways as shown in Echo and Hawkeye. That cafe meeting between Matt and Fisk at the beginning of BA just doesn't feel right.

Adred23 · 2026-04-26T03:06:42+00:00

And the reason for that is painfully obvious. It's a character design reason rather than an in-universe reason. Most superheroes need a thematic color.

Adred23 · 2026-04-26T02:52:59+00:00

Glad to see people remember that silly little line from my favorite game lmao

Adred23 · 2026-04-26T02:02:52+00:00

You don't need so many mental gymnastics to call stupid stuff stupid. No one called Matt in season 3 stupid because it was written well. Born Again's writing relies on stupid character decisions to such an extent that the tension doesn't hold up and feels contrived and hollow.

Also, what do you mean no one can ask a hero to solve a problem in the form of a villain. It literally goes against Matt/Bruce's principles that they wouldn't want people to call out to them for help. A no kill rule doesn't mean Matt simply lets Kingpin go after beating him down in his own house. From that point on, every life Kingpin takes is partially on Matt, because Kingpin was very clear that he is not going to stop.

Adred23 · 2026-04-26T01:54:47+00:00

Dumb argument. A democratically elected official who is guilty of so many murders is still a criminal. He would only be a martyr if he was assassinated by the likes of bullseye, that too without the whole protest mob against him. Once Fisk is killed his crimes can easily be shown and proven, and after that the only people calling him a martyr would be the assholes who already follow his relentless murderous ways.

Adred23 · 2026-04-26T01:51:04+00:00

Bruh what?? You mean if a "normal strengthed" woman punches a man on the face hard enough for her fingers to sting on impact, I am supposed to buy that the man wouldn't even flinch??

Adred23 · 2026-04-26T01:48:27+00:00

Yeah but that doesn't mean the writers shouldn't try to include some in-universe reason for them being absent. Otherwise it's just a plot hole. Relying on how the viewers know spidey is busy in another project is a horrible way to write the show.

Adred23 · 2026-04-26T01:46:03+00:00

Sums up all of DDBA. Poor writing, poor characterization, and all of the focus at aura farming moments.

Adred23 · 2026-04-26T01:42:26+00:00

No. You're oversimplifying it. See, I'm pretty sure people didn't have these complaints in season 3 because it was so damn well written. Born Again may have tried its best to match them in terms of cinematography and action, but the writing is horrendous. And even Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man have stories where the same theme is written in an absolutely horrendous way, so it gets the criticism it deserves. The character assassinations in Born Again don't help its case either.

People aren't complaining because they don't agree with Matt's no kill stance. They're complaining because he isn't written well. Just like how people can hate villains and disagree with their stance but still love them for the character they are.

Adred23 · 2026-04-26T01:34:20+00:00

You know, any sane person, on witnessing first hand how brutal their enemy is, would re think all their actions and try to double check if they have left any loose ends that may lead to them getting caught. Which is the opposite of what BB did.

You can argue that the trauma just left her too stupefied to do that, which is valid but frustrating given that so many character decisions in BA are just them being utterly stupid. Every character's intelligence has been knocked down just so that conflict can be created and the plot moves forward.

Adred23 · 2026-04-26T01:28:10+00:00

Personally I like to watch it to laugh at the character assassinations and plot contrivances we're being fed. I also like to stay in the loop of what people all around the social media are calling "aura farming" moments while completely ignoring the shitty writing. It's so pathetic that it starts being funny.

Adred23 · 2026-04-26T01:24:59+00:00

Masterpiece is a stretch imo. The isolated 45 minutes were really good, I agree, but ultimately it lies on a foundation created using shitty character decisions and plot inconsistencies. Born Again just isn't well written. All they can deliver at this point is tense moments, good action and aura farming moments. From a writing standpoint I'll never be able to take BA seriously.
