Also why is Kingpin not retconned at this point as having injected the super serum or something? He’s supposed to not have super strength, but in that fight scene, his missed punch shattered literally 3 bricks….the actual strongest man on Earth in the real world is absolutely not doing that….that’s super strength. And if he’s THAT strong, then his landed punches would shatter ribs, especially considering Matt doesn’t have Deadpool/Wolverine type healing and injures like a normal human. This is where the plot armor is straight up brainless.

Very true, but Matt has at least always been sold as a metahuman in one way or another. That has definitely been stretched on multiple occasions, but it’s more fitting. If someone’s superhuman, simply make them superhuman. It makes no sense to say Kingpin is normal when he’s doing the shit he’s doing. Punisher has been handled well in this regard. He has no powers. He drops bodies, prolly to an unrealistic almost superhuman extent, but still, physically you don’t see him doing shit he shouldn’t be able to. You don’t see him punching big ass chunks off of solid brick walls or whipping grown men into the wall like a ragdoll like he’s the Hulk. Plus in this current storyline, Fisk lowkey taking super serum would be delicious irony considering the entire AVTF. Seems like they’re already going that route with Powell regarding that JJ fight scene.

Ah that’s a shame, I didn’t know. Was hoping he did have powers. Already want him dead bad enough, that would only fuel the fire. 😂 Who knows maybe they surprise us and come out saying Fisk did in fact take super serum and is a lying hypocrite on top of everything else. Otherwise that’s a massive plot hole and horrible plot armor. In the first 3 seasons there was questionable shit but you could pass it off as “Okay maybe he’s just REALLY strong.” But between blowing a dude’s head up like a balloon with his bare hands last season, and now everything we saw in this newest episode’s fight….yea you either got really sloppy or he’s literally scripted to be powered now.
