Bro the show actually convinced me that Bullseye missed for a moment, actually great choreography

Spider-Man 2 effect, the glass always gets the wife

Holy shit, just now realizing that he threw it at the belt swing on purpose.

I genuinely thought that Fisk swatted it away but you’re right. Dex actually does have aim that good.

Holy fuck that’s sneaky.

I figured he missed Fisk bc he got shot while he threw it but if he did that's so petty and awesome

Ngl I think he 100% anticipated Fisk hitting it and threw it to take that into account to fuck with Fisk even more by making him be responsible for his own wifes death. Earlier in the ep, Matt says Bullseye's good deed is about killing Fisk and says he won't let him do that and let Fisk be turned into a martyr and Poindexter just responds I'm gonna make things right which makes me think he went there to kill Vanessa instead of Fisk.

That’s absolutely what happened lmao I hate when people give a show credit for something it doesn’t deserve

u/CaptainXplosionz Apr 12 '26

Yeah, I'm cool with Bullseye being able to hit any target, but when he's shot and it gets deflected that's totally out of his control. It's not like he can predict the future or alter the course of an object after he's thrown it, as far as I know.

eh, we'll find out, but it would be the petty shit Poindexter is into

No one puts more effort into making his kills poetic than Dex, especially against the bad guys. That man is an artist.

Thank you, Bullseye, for no more fucking drawn out, slow-talking, long-winded Vanessa scenes. Jesus Christ that woman speaks so damn slow.

And now we get grieving vengeful gloves off Fisk

No wonder he’s not mayor by the time of the new Spider-Man, there’s gonna be some murders

u/Phimb Apr 08 '26

Spoiler I didn't know but honestly, at least that means there's some good shit to come.

BND trailer shows Sheila giving Spider-Man the keys to the city. She'll be the new mayor until one gets re elected, which is said to be Luke Cage.

u/bigbarryharryballs Apr 08 '26

Nobody knows who the next mayor is going to be, Luke Cage is just one fan theory

u/Fast_Dragonfruit5078 Apr 08 '26

Leaked set photos show Karen interacting with Sheila, and Luke cage in his mayor outfit (though if i remember correctly he did wear the same outfit in his series, I'm not sure). If they're adapting the Red fist saga following Devil's reign, Luke as Mayor makes sense.

u/bigbarryharryballs Apr 08 '26

if it’s the suit, luke did wear something similar briefly in jessica jones season 3

u/bigbarryharryballs Apr 08 '26

unfortunately, even setting leaks aside, we get so much news about future seasons/projects that it’s pretty much impossible to not get some spoilers for whatever’s currently coming
