They're both bad people but I still root for them to be together because of the look it gives us into Fisk's character. It's similar to, though much more developed than, how I find Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight's marriage endearing in the comics.

This is why the Netflix villains are more so favored over Marvel Studios villains. We spent a lot of time with each of them, they even get dedicated episodes to help build their arch's. It's no coincidence that the best Marvel Studios villains have been the ones who are not one and done (Loki, Winter Soldier, Thanos, Vulture). Kevin Feige has stated plenty of times that their films are made to focus on the heroes, because their stories continue whether we are talking about sequels or the event films. By the time we got to Infinity War we didn't have to spend time setting up character arch's because we'd already spent X amount of movies with over 20 main characters. But yeah, I'm going to need a Netflix Wilson Fisk figure, I love what they've done with him over these 3 seasons.
