I don't think I'd be happier per se, but I think I'd be less aggrieved if people who expect me to take Foggy's death as portrayed at face value would at least concede that it's poorly written if that is the case.

And I mean that without even touching on the Matt side of it. I'm talking specifically about the circumstances we saw play out on screen.

Bullseye has NO motivation for shooting Foggy in the chest. Especially when he immediately head shots two people after. Foggy was a still target and Dex had a scope.

"Well they wouldn't want to kill a main character that brutally on screen." Tell that to Ray Nadeem.

"He wanted to torture Matt/Daredevil." No where in the season do they imply this, at all. Additionally, it has never been established that he even knows Matt is Daredevil. If you're allowed to start assuming things then boy do I have some assumptions to lay out that I'm suuuure won't be called "delusional cope", right?

"Well they needed him to bleed out for the drama." Then that's BAD WRITING! There are a million ways to create this situation, if that's what they needed, and they chose none of them. Matt could have tackled Bullseye while the shot was going off. Karen could have seen him coming and fired her gun, spoiling his perfect shot. Foggy could have seen him walking up and moved at the last second (perhaps even thinking he was protecting Karen, and hey look at that suddenly we have an actual guilt-based motivation for Karen leaving!).

Weirdly enough, an argument I don't think I've seen anybody make is "Maybe he just wanted Foggy to hurt". Which is the closest thing to plausible. He told Vanessa he remembered Foggy. Maybe he's just still pissed about that selfie and took the opportunity at hand for some personal revenge.

But that begs my other unanswered question: What about Benny?

He DIDN'T kill Benny. Why? Benny, who Dex was specifically told to get too, who Dex roughed up in Foggy's apartment... Dex just left him there. Not dead.

Did Benny know about Foggy's Red Hook strategy? Was he taken in for questioning about being at Foggy's apartment? Did he go to jail because his lawyer died? Did he go on the run? What happened to Benny!? Who knows, cause we sure don't! Benny's entire case was relegated to a box that Matt and Karen didn't think twice about.

Benny was the subject of nearly ALL of Foggy's dialogue. They gave us an entire dialogue exchange between Foggy and Kirsten all about Dumb Benny, and then handed the Red Hook documents to her at the end of season 1. He has to be important in the future. If Benny existed just to be a voice on a phone and we never see or hear from him again, that's (say it with me) Bad Writing.

Trust me, I DON'T want it to be bad! I want it to be good! For it to all be a long con! I'm on tenterhooks about season 2, wishing and hoping that there's more to this than they presented. Especially with some of the leaks we've gotten! There has to be more.

So stop telling me to accept it at face value. Please.
