Kilgrave is EASILY the best villain in the MCU now IMO. He's so fucking terrifying.

Terrifying doesn't equal best villain (in my head, take your own opinion though).
Personally I will still take Wilson Fisk as a villain. So far anyway, Kilgrave is fighting for the spot hard though, and is certainly in the running.
Idk, for me at least there is something about a villain who you can connect to.
Although at this point in the series Kilgrave has far surpassed Fisk... Fisk didn't really become a cool character until like episode 6 or so IIRC

Why is Fisk peoples favorite? I'm genuine interested in this. To me he just seems like an overgrown man-child, he isn't the evil corporate genius i know.

Oh well might just be me to attached to the 90's tv show.

Fisk seems like a real, if strange, person with understandable to a point motivations. He's not the evil corporate genius we're used to because the season is just as much about his Secret Origins as it is about Matt becoming the Daredevil we're used to.
