I don't think he is a whiny bitch, I think it is progression of a character. Right now they kinda showed his softer side but near the end of the season after things started to happen you could see his sadistic side. Next season he will come back and be cruel and sadistic I believe.

I agree with this. I really liked their choice of giving the villain a true confidant. He is telling Vanessa stuff even Wesley doesn't know. It provides great insight into the choices Fisk is making. He wants a prosperous Hells Kitchen. However, is upbring taught him that chaos and fighting is the only way to do it. Hell after he kills his dad. The first thing his mom does is to tell him to get the saw. Teaching him to not apologize for violence, death, or destruction. But to use it to get what he wants. Telling that story through Fisk words and not just a flashback is more impactful. Especially considering he tells it to what appears to be the first one he cares about and she supports him only further reinforces his belief of destroy to rebuild.
