Civil War already did that.

Puppet master to who? Anyone with the juice to fight MCU Spidey isn't going to take orders from Babyman
He's a crime lord. He buys people. Everyone has a weakness... family, friends, lovers. Fisk is just good at finding those.
Daredevil season 2 shows that.

It'd be cool to see, but seriously - who the heck is this source?
I wouldn't put much stock into it.

That's because even Netflix and TV can't talk for some reason. You have basically three universes: film, Netflix, TV, and the synergy is only within themselves. The only thing they can do is tiny references of the universe, like a newscast ticker or namedrops in the series.
Honestly the series and films would benefit a lot from better integration. The films would gain levity in acknowledging that there are a lot of enhanced popping up recently who need to be controlled, instead of making accords specifically for the Avengers. Shield would also be more credible when they say they are monitoring enhanced, as now they turn a blind eye to Hell's Kitchen for no reason. etc.
It's one of the reason Shield is tanking. Sure, the writing isn't always at its best, but when people want to watch it and find out there is no connection, they just leave disappointed and make comments like yours. It's typically a show that tanked because execs just can't talk to each others.
That and I don't see marvel mixing their kids property with the full potential of a street marvel story anyway.

Sure but I doubt it would make sense with what Netflix has planned.

Yep. Tombstone makes more sense than kingpin. Hammerhead is just goofy though, leave him in the comics.

Wow that article is harsh
Shield is going to be Coulsons Fever dream? DAYUM did they actually entertain that idea?
Wait.. the article doesnt have a source?

I'm re watching Daredevil Season 1 and it's truly astounding how well D'Onorfio owned up to the role.
One thing, though, is that Spidey should'nt beat him up but rather keep him in his awesome role as the man pulling the strings in the shadows. His awesomeness in Season 2 is on a whole different level.

Doesn't it say "a source close to the situation"? That's basically insider.
You're right though, hate these vague-ass clickbait articles. 99% of the time they don't have shit.
Why is Lex Luthor Superman's arch enemy?

This source...
He is a supersmart scientist? and the dichotomy of a mortal mind vs god like power?
I thought he was the criminal mastermind of the 20th century..

All the Kingpin scenes in DD S2 were my favourite thing in the whole of S2. The guy is just brilliant.
To steal Nonny Roberts term "Nerd OCD" is funny, the shows and movies are setup just like comics. In the comics they don't refer to each other every other sentience
The references to Alhpa Primitives, Betsy the vampire cow,Fucking Nuke, and the Fucking Hologram shield are much better than the characters sitting around going "Remember when Cap did that thing"

Doesn't matter, in a fight he loses, how can a villain work if he can't beat the crap out of the hero?
Terrible villain by realistic standards and power levels, the only metric that matters.

You're being sarcastic right?
The most interesting and exciting battles aren't always just clashes of brute strength.

What's wrong with expecting more? So now marvel has set the bar so high these requests are out the realm of possibility? And saying she has an entitled attitude? Because she wants to be more involved with the Marvel universe? Cmon man. Its not like her individual talents on the show would suggest she's not capable.
This reeks of Robin Wright being harassed because she wanted equal pay with Kevin Spacey for House of Cards.

This is sarcasm right? Or is Joker also a terrible villian?
What Marvel film has been rated PG?

It just establishes that he's not some superpowered villain that relies on raw strength to get the job done, but he's a schemer, a puppeteer, he pulls the right strings to get a situation in his favor, they established that in both Daredevil seasons, it would only make sense to continue down that path. If anything, I'd rather not have Spidey come face to face with Kingpin at all, at least not right in the first movie. Let stuff happen in Queens, have Peter make a stand, reveal the villain and resolve it. You can use Kingpin as the man behind the scenes behind the man/woman behind the scenes. That would be perfect and fitting for Kingpin as a character in the MCU.
I must be the only one who didn't really like Fisk in Daredevil S1. I didn't find him very threatening at all, and I found the way he spoke in a low, pained tone pretty annoying. It was as if the character was screaming 'look at how tormented I am'.
In season 2 I actually thought: oh no, not him again, when he showed up. But he is actually more interesting as a sidecharacter in S2 then as main villain in S1. He is being gamed by any other criminal mastermind in Hell's Kitchen anyway in S1 :')
This. Cinematic spider-man is for kids, Kingpin wouldn't work well with it.

Cinematic Spider-Man is in a movie
where innocent people are blown up by a suicide bomb, another terrorist attack brutally kills a bunch of innocent UN members, brainwashed supersoldiers are shot in the head while they sleep, and Howard Stark is brutally punched in the head repeatedly by a bionic arm until he dies.
It's a kids movie really

I believe his comment is showing how bad the argument that Kingpin couldnt be the main bad guy for SpiderMan Homecoming just because he cant physically beat him is.
