"This might be the most venom I've heard in Fisk's voice, just seething about his hatred for Daredevil. For a dude who we've seen rage out like a gorilla in the past, this is oddly scarier," said one fan on Reddit.
"It's the only real classic "arch-enemies" relationship in the MCU and they milk it for that gloriously," commented another fan in the thread.

"I love how Fisk tried to twist it to make himself seem like an innocent businessman rising up and Matt was just some psycho barging in and hurting his "workers". Part of me at this point wonders if Fisk might actually believe his own lies," said another fan.
"I LOVED this rant about Matt destroying his 10 year business in the making, just a complete reference to the previous show and it was great lol," opined another fan.

"For him, the only reason he believes so fervently in the legal system is he knows first-hand he can easily control it, like having all those corrupt cops on his payroll. Versus vigilantes he can't do sh*t about," shared a user in the thread.
"I love it because this is one of the few times we've seen a long-term rivalry between a comic hero and comic villain in live action and it feels like the comics," added another user in the thread.
