Regarding the possibility that Foggy Nelson isnāt dead, the reason why I canāt really wrap my head around it is that there would have to be some sort of complicated conspiracy to justify why Foggy survived. I know that people referenced the comic where Foggy got shanked and turned out to be alive, but consider where weāre at with the show.
If Foggy somehow survived, then that means Bullseye had to have been told by someone to make Daredevil think that his best friend is dead. Bullseyeās massacre at the bar would then be his way of covering up his actions. Thereās no other way Foggy couldāve survived, Bullseye had to have done that intentionally since this is someone whose aim is around Hawkeyeās level. Foggy was literally standing still when he got hit, thereās no way Bullseye wouldnāt have been able to miss a killshot.
The question then is if Bullseye did intentionally āmissā to let Foggy live, who would order this, why would they order this, and how did they convince Dex to go through with it. Whoever this person is, theyāre someone who is fine with letting several innocent people die as long as Foggy survived. Thatās why Iām having a hard time wrapping my head around this possibility, it just seems far-fetched, even for this show.
The one thing I can think of is that Wilson or Vanessa Fisk hired Bullseye to do it. They wanted to destroy Matt Murdock, but in a way that their actions canāt be traced back to them. So, Bullseye ākillsā Foggy, but in reality, Foggy survived somehow. Thatās why when Wilson Fisk says he honored his deal with Matt, heās technically telling the truth, which is enough to fool Matt. The problem with that possibility is that it doesnāt explain where Foggy went. Like, are the Fisks just keeping the man in some dungeon somewhere? At that point, they might as well just actually kill him.
I donāt see the police being behind this since the police would be authorizing a massacre. Say what you will about corrupt cops, but even thatās a touch too far. Also, even if the cops were behind this, why specifically keep Foggy alive? In fact, why hire Bullseye to do this? The other remote possibility is that Foggy hired Bullseye to fake his death. But that also seems too much of a stretch, plus Iām sure thereās an easier way to fake your death that doesnāt involve killing innocent people.
Anyways, weāll see what happens in the rest of the show. I know that Elden Henson is coming back for season 2, but at this point, Iām sure itāll just be for flashback sequences. If heās alive, there has to be a solid mystery behind it.
