Taloa is… let’s just say that an evening of watching ice cubes melt followed by watching white paint dry on a wall would be a far livelier experience than sitting through this episode.

Basically, a now one-eyed Wilson Fisk shows up only to then simp over Maya. He had watched her being bullied when she was a kid, and somehow this forms a… bond?… between them. Hence, he can’t bring himself to kill her even after she’d tried to whack him the last time. 

Instead, he tells her how daddies are terrible, because his beat his mom so Wilson hammered the daddy to death and it’s awesome. Meanwhile, Chula tells Maya that her dad is the cause of all their family issues.

Watching this episode, I can practically smell the daddy issues of the diversity hires that cobbled together this episode from the bitter angst of their childhood.

Meanwhile, there are more flashbacks, and Maya learns that Chula also has them. Apparently it’s some special gift to the women of her family that pop out babies in the wilderness instead of the hospital and whatever, I don’t care as I’m super bored watching this episode of plodding monologues and there is one more episode left to go before I am free of this colossal waste of time.

Oh, and whoever came up with those marketing lies about how Kingpin is the street-level Thanos menace or how this show is a gritty, adult show full of violence—that person has more creativity than the collective pimples on the arses of everyone involved in this show. Maybe Kevin Feige should hire that person to do the next MCU show, as the Marvel Studio suits have clearly been hiring diversity hires from the back of the shortest buses in town to wreck their IPs.
