Yes! The other thing I loved about the hallway fight was that Matt was just so DONE. I mean, he had already been stabbed earlier that night - and man... so good. I think my favourite bit was when he did the full back roll off the wall in order to get vertical enough to punch a dude.
I was never worried about her being fridged actually. I was worried about Ben - and didn't he have a great face? - and (SPOILER) turns out I was right to
I was actually spoiled for that going in. So, I knew not to get too attached. It was agony watching though, because starting somewhere between the 5th and 8th episodes they started to do a tone of those camera angles where you know that you can't see all of the room/alley/street that he is in and that anyone could be sneaking up behind him, or take him out from a building, or whatever... like, I just spent episodes and episodes anticipating his death, thinking in nearly every scene of his "oh god, is this when it happens?!"
However, unlike you I liked - or maybe thats the wrong word - the humanization of Wilson Fisk, mainly because it is very unsettling to be reminded that the bad guys have motivations and things they love and are scared of losing. Because it makes you acknowledge that they are people too.
I liked it to an extent, I just think there was too much of it, or it could have been done in a different way.
But, yeah, I mean, that last Fisk/Wesley scene, when he kisses him on the forehead just killed me, and I'd certainly not want to lose a scene like that just because I don't like following villain stories. So, I'm not saying through the baby out with the bathwater... I'm just saying, sometimes less is more.
And loosely related. Last night I watched the Theory of Everything and Charlie Cox was in it and I found it very strange. :P
Tumblr reminded me the other day that it was Charlie Cox who played the lead in Stardust, and that was a very strange thing to not have remembered at all, even though I own that movie and quite enjoy it.
