MCU: 10 Worst Netflix Characters

After the brilliance of Wilson Fisk in season 1, it was always going to be tough for the main villain of Daredevil season 2 to match up. If you count the Punisher as more of an anti-hero, then that duty falls to Nobu, who definitely steers well clear of the Kingpin's heights.

That's not a slight on Peter Shinkoda, who is perfectly fine in the part. The real problem is in the undefined, bland nature of the Hand, the evil ninja clan Nobu commands, overall. Because the key answers were held back to The Defenders (not that that show wrapped them up well either), we have little context for Nobu's villainy - no sense of motivation, his ultimate goals or what he does on his days off.

The writers even attempt to bolster the character by handing him Bullseye's iconic role from the comics - killing Elektra. It doesn't impress, though, and just leaves Marvel fans angry that this much better villain has been kept on the bench and replaced with this cardboard cutout.
