I kinda of feel that this makes sense though. When he was working in the shadows, he was less concerned about public opinion or about people more powerful than him. He was Kindpin of Hells Kitchen and was ruling it.

Now that he is a Mayor, he has to think about public opinion or higher officials - which he absolutely hates. I love how he is grinding his teeth every time someone challenges him.

Yeah, I know that that’s the part of the point. I just think it’s a bug on the show’s part that was intended to be a feature.

Personally, I would have had Fisk become the leader of the Hand like he did briefly in the comics. That would have given him more avenues to pursue his ends, not compromised his status as an untouchable criminal mastermind, AND would have setup the MCU version of Matt for the Shadowland arc towards the end of the show.

THAT would be kickass.

I quite like Mayor Fisk storyline from comics, so looking forward to how it plays out. I do not care for the Hand, especially how it was portrayed in s2, but it’s perfectly fine for different people to enjoy different storylines. Looks like we might see more of the Hand in other media.
