If we decide to take the Easter drawing as confirmation that Holland will be in Doomsday, we'd have to ask why, since he's currently in a street setting.

Well... isn't it curious that of all the stories they could have adapted, they're choosing The Other? The story that reveals Peter has a connection to a mystical entity and that later reveals it also has multiversal reach.

This is part of the era that introduced the theme of spider-totems and was a prelude to Spider-Verse, which theorized that a great evil would terrorize the multiverse.

If we take certain reports as true, supposedly Sony absolutely wanted a multiversal element in the film. Originally, it was going to be some connection with the SSU, but since that fell through, nothing more was ever heard of it. What if, in the end, that multiversal element is The Other?

That way, Marvel gets its street story, and at the same time, Sony gets its multiversal story without having to rely on fanservice.

P.S.: To further support this theory, the idea that Spider-Queen is one of the most likely villains in the film would be even more plausible because the Queen has her own comic book series in Battleworld, ruling Spider-Island and an army of Man-Spiders.

This is what worries me most after season 2. I feel like Marvel could get into a very problematic predicament with the character, due to the poor treatment he received before Born Again.

>!At this point, it's no secret that Fisk loses the mayoral race at the end of season two.!< What happens next is a mystery so far; the most unrealistic thing is that he might die.

1. Kingpin is Daredevil's archenemy, as well as one of the few crime bosses Marvel has at its disposal.

2. That option was already used on Hawkeye with his fake death.

But the other options don't seem so good either. On the one hand, I wouldn't like them to keep portraying Fisk as the mastermind who wants to rise to power because at this point, it would be tiresome.

Not only was he the main antagonist in these two seasons, but if we include the Netflix run, Kingpin has essentially been the main villain throughout all the seasons except the second, where the Hand was the main antagonist (and that was only because Fisk had some relevance). So, continuing with the same approach would be like wasting gum that's already worn out.

Another option would be to simply leave him as a crime boss and be done with it, or to pass the mantle to another character, but the problem is that this has already been done and it didn't turn out well. Hawkeye and Echo were the territory Marvel wanted to explore with a Kingpin no longer so tied to Daredevil and just a very ruthless gangster boss, and the result ranged from meh to disastrous.

We can partly blame this on the quality of those projects, but Marvel is also tied down because this Fisk's story was forged with Matt Murdock, which is why it's so strange that Matt isn't involved when he's present. And secondly, it can't be used in film because of Sony's restrictions. So it has to be limited to TV series.

I don't know, I see the character's future as very blurry after this season. The most direct and easy option would be to kill him off, but seeing as they didn't even leave poor Steve Rogers alone after Endgame, that's never going to happen.

Seeing how everyone came together to improve the appearance of the Muttaburrasaurus after such a regrettable official model, I was inspired to make my own version.

The last time we saw them playing a vital role was in Days of Future Past (12 years ago now), and considering that Magneto is highly unlikely to return as the main villain, the Sentinels, and especially the Master Mold, are the best option to be the villains in a first X-Men movie.

Mainly because they aren't as complex or powerful as Sinister or Apocalypse, summarizing their arc as:

"A robot created to hunt mutants, something goes wrong, and it starts attacking humans because they are the origin of mutants."

A simple plot, but one that could lead to an interesting exploration for the X-Men. Firstly, because the Sentinels are the very image of the human vs. mutant struggle in the comics.

And at the same time, they are a prime example of how stupid this war is when the simplest logic is used. The Sentinels would demonstrate how far humanity will go to contain a threat without considering the true consequences.

While for the X-Men, these Sentinels would not only be rivals who would make things difficult without exceeding the beginner level, but they could also lead to the X-Men's central dilemma.

"If the Sentinels rebel against humanity, is it worth saving them? Should we really save a world that hates and fears us from the weapon they created precisely to hunt us?"

Because in the Fox saga, we almost never saw the team saving humanity, only in the first film, First Class (to a certain extent), and the opening scene in Dark Phoenix. For the most part, it was just the X-Men saving mutants.

And in the MCU, they could turn this on its head with the Sentinels, where the X-Men at a certain point face the conflict of whether it's worth saving humanity or letting the Sentinels destroy them, ultimately deciding that the hateful acts of a few don't condemn an ​​entire species, and that if they don't save humanity, they would only be reinforcing the cycle of hatred that would culminate in the destruction of both sides in an endless war.

By destroying the Master Mold and the Sentinels, they are hailed as heroes by a segment of the population, while another group still hates them, but they realize that there are people within humanity who do deserve to be saved. And they plant the first evidence that human-mutant coexistence is indeed possible.

Even on the human side, the Sentinels could play an important role, with certain individuals like Bolivar Trask and Henry Gyrich firmly believing that the Sentinels are necessary for humanity's survival, while others like Valerie Cooper or even William Metzerg, even if they agree that mutants are a problem, manage to see that this is a rather extreme measure that can easily get out of control and ultimately align themselves with the X-Men to stop this madness.

This extends even to the Netflix series, where the path they're trying to give Bullseye isn't so much that of a psychopathic villain who loves being evil... but rather that of a disturbed man who, despite everything, fervently believes he's one of the good guys.

And let's not forget, Dexter was already disturbed from the beginning, as seen in Netflix from his childhood, and he spied on Julie even before Fisk entered her life.

But some of his most well-known crimes, like the murders of Nadeem and Foggy, and the one in Karen's newspaper, weren't even his idea... they were the Fisks'. And that's an interesting detail about Bullseye.

He's searching for a purpose to follow, his "North Star," but that has led him to become Kingpin and Vanessa's personal plaything, doing their bidding since they were his new North Star, basically his guides and role models.

Let's remember that Fisk even ordered Julie's murder and manipulated Dexter because he saw that Julie was starting to lead him down a path that wouldn't benefit him.

So that in the end, Matt makes him see the truth, and this breaks Bullseye, and the same thing happens at the beginning of Born Again. He kills Foggy not out of revenge against Matt, but because he is manipulated by Vanessa again. And once again, he is betrayed by the Fisks.

And in the most recent episode, we see his own mindset: he sees himself as a good person and tries to find a way to redeem himself for his actions. But since he is a psychopath, his methods are irrational and bloody.

Instead of acting calmly and thoughtfully like Karen and Matt, Dexter decides to call the anti-vigilante force whenever he can to massacre them and leave his mark so they know who did it. He also plans to kill Wilson and Vanessa at a public event simply because he can do what Matt will never do, without stopping to think if it will actually benefit him in the long run.

One could argue that Daredevil has indeed become his new "North Star," and he seeks to emulate him, to be a vigilante but in his own style, without realizing that, ironically, his style is that of a villain.

I suppose Marvel chose this path to make Bullseye relatable, similar to how they did with the Vulture, but without redeeming him, and also to have more range when telling stories, where we see Dexter trying to do "good" but in the worst possible ways.
