This was such a weird moment for me
Like, most of Marvel's villains have done worse than 9/11
Kingpin is the sole exemption, but he would probably be happy because he has fingers in every pot, he's probably making bank off it
Dr Doom destroyed a universe because he saw a good version of himself that made him sick.
Kingpin I agree is the only exception. He often plays into the affable New York businessman (it's how he ran and was elected as Mayor). He might pretend to be sad about 9/11, while secretly angry he hadn't shorted airline stock, and already planning how to get rich off the demolition and re-building.
It would have made more sense if it was a lot of street level or lesser New York villains. Like a guy like Shocker is going to be genuinely upset by 9/11.
Paste-Pot Pete would definitely be like "I can use my glue to help!" once he recovered from the shock
Shocker came to mind for me as well. Herman is a good egg
That's what the good season of Netflix daredevil was about
I almost forgot Daredevil
10 years of MCU pap will do that to you
I did until the post jogged my memory. That first season kinda rocked
Then they had to bring in The Punisher and it all went to pot in season 2
I didn't even watch it
