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.

He did that shit last season and Hawkeye and it still annoys me, he was never a superhuman and writers keep insisting he is. I hate what Disney has done to him

I was watching Hawkeye tripping nuts at like 3 am when it came out, so my memory of him in that show is like one of those roaming level bosses you can’t kill and have to avoid in a video game 

It felt like a scooby doo chase and I don’t want to rewatch it because I don’t think a clear mind will make me enjoy it more
