So, what? You're one of those people who doesn't like a show because the characters go beyond how they're portrayed in the comics? Your complaints in that spoiler tag are almost entirely cosmetic.
What are you talking about? There are no complaints in that spoiler text. I'm talking about the symbolism in the ending. Frankly, I never once complained while watching or on here about his attire. Yeesh...!
I'm not a massive Daredevil comic fan, but from what I've seen the show has done so much more with the Kingpin. He's an actual full-fledged and complex character as opposed to just some superpower crime boss. I'd go so far as to say D'onofrio is to the Kingpin what Heath Ledger was to the Joker.
Are you implying that Ledger's Joker was a complex character? I really can't agree with that. Now, I want to be
very clear that I
do not think being a simple character is inherently a bad thing. The Joker in The Dark Knight was simply a chaotic evil character, and what made it really work is that concept defined his entire character. Hell, I'd argue that most comic book characters are
not complex, but they have been trying to change that in recent years.
So, what exactly made Fisk a complex character? Are characters suddenly complex because they have some sort of "duality" about them? Is it because he's so stricken by that painting? Is it because he falls in love with a girl that for some strange reason actually likes him? Frankly, based upon her somewhat over-the-top reaction on their first date, you wouldn't expect her to come back.
EDIT:
From what little I read about the series beforehand, it was the origins of both Daredevil and Kingpin. There was even talk that Kingpin might make the leap to the big screen in one of the MCU movies before Daredevil.
Honestly, I was under the impression that he was going to be an existing character. That was probably enforced a bit by the beginning where everyone was so secretive of his identity like he was the kingpin at the top pulling the strings... which he was.
