15 Best Things The Internet Has Done With Netflix's Daredevil

10. Fisley

But Vanessa/Fisk isn't the relationship that inspired Daredevil viewers the most. Nor was it Matt/Karen, Foggy/Karen or even Matt/Foggy. No, what really made Tumblr's night was Fisk/Wesley. That's not to say the feelings they inspired weren't complex: both were racketeers and essentially murderers many times over, whether the blood was directly on their hands or not. When Wesley dies, it's moments after threatening a woman with the painful deaths of everyone she's ever loved. Yet he also dies expressing touching loyalty to his boss, who loves a city Wesley hates. And that loyalty is reciprocated. Wesley is essential to Fisk's story if only because he proves that for everything else Fisk is - childlike, monstrous and cunning - he is someone who can love and be loved. This has, naturally, inspired plenty of fan-fictions and other works, but the best tribute to their relationship is this simple supercut of one thing that Fisk says to Wesley and almost no one else.
