It’s not for “whatever reason”. It’s literally the plot point that sets off Daredevil’s entire character arc for two seasons.
I just remain so confused/bemused by anyone being so indignant about the story not being worth the story choice… when they literally didn’t see how the story choice played out over the entire arc of the series.
I get people being mad about a bait and switch from the showrunners words to try and calm the masses and get eyeballs. That argument I’ve got no problem with. And I could get if you watched the entire series and then made your argument that the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze, but when you literally have no idea where the show ended, yet speak with such authority that the beginning was wrong, it’s just weird. And from one writer to another, I gotta tell you, that just comes off as incredibly bizarre… almost Trump-like in its “I know all despite not knowing any of the facts!” type arrogance.
LOL... your alt “pitch” here really just underscores the arrogance/how out of whack your argument is because “whatever” the above plot is wouldn’t have led to the ending and arc the show wanted to get to.
And AGAIN, if you watched the show and thought the arc was stupid/Foggy’s death wasn’t necessary to it happening, that’s an argument worth discussing. But you literally don't have the knowledge to make that argument so you're really just coming off as some kind of butt-hurt fanboy who's big mad because you got duped by what you believe was a marketing trick.
