Vincent D'Onofrio Has Perfect Response To "Dumbass" Fan Who Says DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN "Ruined" The Kingpin

The great thing about social media is that it gives everyone a platform to share their thoughts. At the same time, giving everyone that opportunity isn't always the best idea. 

Daredevil: Born Again star Vincent D'Onofrio recently celebrated the glowing reviews the series has received, only for one fan to reply by telling him, "It sucked actually and your character is pathetic and thoroughly ruined." They would know, right? 

Unfortunately for them, they use "Dumbass" as their screen name (it's hardly a surprise they're hiding their real identity), allowing the Kingpin actor to reply, "Thanks for your support dumbass."

Wilson Fisk wins again. 

Daredevil: Born Again has made some big changes to the villain. He's seemingly given up his criminal empire to "save" New York by becoming its Mayor. It's clear Fisk is up to something, though his focus is currently on outlawing vigilantes in the Big Apple. 

"Fisk is on a journey," D'Onofrio recently told the Los Angeles Times. "He wants to expand his reach. He’s going to get more control, and it’s going to be dangerous. It’s not going to be good for anybody."

He added that Daredevil: Born Again's first season will "[remind audiences] how cunning [Fisk is] and how much of a team Vanessa and him make. There’s no stopping this guy. He’s a broken man with a lot of power; he’s not gonna stop."

D'Onofrio first played the Kingpin in 2015's Daredevil TV series and later made his MCU debut in Hawkeye before reprising the role in Echo. He's already confirmed for Daredevil: Born Again season 2 but likely won't appear in Spider-Man 4.

You can check out D'Onofrio's X exchange in the posts below.

In Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened abilities is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course.

The series also stars Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, with Ayelet Zurer and Jon Bernthal. Dario Scardapane is showrunner.

"A masterpiece of epic proportions, Daredevil: Born Again delivers a powerful, unmissable take on the Man Without Fear," we said in our review"Putting street-level heroics on the map in a way that promises to change the MCU forever, the show is sublime superhero storytelling on a whole new level."

Daredevil: Born Again's first two episodes are now streaming on Disney+.

Lol great response, dude did bring it on himself in this case…

People also be saying random shit nowadays without further explaining themselves such as why they think Kingpin was “ruined” etc.

Also apparently Hawkeye “ruined” Kingpin and now this , people are so [frick]ing fickle that any creative choice they don’t agree with they immediately resort to saying this…

People like this can get [frick]ed , the only thing “ruined” is the mental capacity of people like that.

Expression of opinion is a right.

Contrarianism for the sake of it is a disease.

@Latverian - For once I agree. Its always been this way on this site. Do articles get monotonous? Absolutely. But Galactus, Josh and Mark do what they can to push info out there. Not everyone that visits the site is on here daily like some of us so yes, naturally there will be repeat articles. The information or relative information gets put out for everyone, not just commenters. But as elegantly as you put it, contrarianism is a disease that afflicts quite a few commenters here. Just to troll. Personally, if they dont like the content my opinion is to move on to another site.

Well he is a cuck now who's wife is a better gangster, and he has been defeated physically by a small girl and a disabled deaf one. So she's actually not wrong if you think Kingpin should be a great and powerful villain.

People I know who like the comics that I trust and have seen the whole thing don't make the same criticism so I guess he redeems himself later, but I'm just guessing. For me though, I lost interest in the character cause of how he was written in those 2 tv shows already.

@WarMonkey - This is the problem with comic fans. They want 100s of comic source material immediately in the forefront Everytime. They have no patience for character development and for the story to progress over the course of hours and seasons.

@WarMonkey - If those are the reason why he's a "cuck" then what was he when he was defeated twice by a visually impaired vigilante?

@SonOfAGif - I'm actually not a comic fan of DD or Kingpin. I like them when they show up in other stuff but I've never seeked them out.

I like comic villains to be badasses or super smart, that's all I'm saying. BTW I'm no purist I used to love the entire Arrowverse and all of the Fox X-Men movies, minus "Dark Phoenix", for example

@NinnesMBC - his wife has a boyfriend, therefore he's a cuck. I didn't make that story decision, Disney people did. I'm just saying I personally find him not to be interesting anymore cause of the writing for him since the end of the Netflix show.

Sometimes the writers have to use certain textbook twists to make it easier to do something new. They'll eventually kill Vanessa to give Fisk a story.

I wish he just screenshots the tweet instead of replying to them directly. All it did was give them the exposure and views they were probably looking for.
