yeah I feel like this is going to be played as a dramatic revelation in a week's time or so where our heroes learn to their shock that, by doing exactly what the Kingpin told them that he wanted to do, they have played right into his hands! The horror!

"Hold yer fire, blue-boys" is such an amazingly NSM line.

Also lol if it turns out it was a really, really short range hologram projector and Kingpin and Golden Claw are just trying to sneak out the back in the confusion.

Watch, this will have been their plan the whole time. Get all the criminal rackets in New York in one place, demand they all turn into a hegemony under Kingpin and Golden Claw, smack talk assembled gangsters until they open fire, bribe the police to swarm in and arrest everyone else, and leave all the criminal rackets in New York open to be poached and turned into a hegemony under Kingpin and Golden claw.

That's a halfway decent plan, though. Is that likely in NSM?

Say WHAT?! You KNOW that post is wack, homie!

I don't even understand the logic Spidey is using here. Like he's not saying "Oh those things can't project an image from very far away" or even "this is NSM, so everyone is stupid". He just says "that must take lots of energy" and Iron Fist enthusiastically agrees, while Colleen is wondering why neither one of them has ever heard of electrical wires before.

the theaters being renovated. do you trust wires last touched in the 1960s to handle the kind of current a hologram needs?

Eh, the worst it can do is start a fire. That would solve the Kingpin and Claw's mobster problem just as fine as a poison gas canister.
