"The Punisher (Netflix) is like John Wick with a great backstory and more"


          

layers.

I wasn't a huge fan of Wick because of the
lack of layers and backstory (how did he
get into this? where does the organization
come from? etc) Plus it was mainly about
the action and killing... which is entertaining
and all, but not *all* I wanna see.

If you like that John Wick kind of action,
you'll love this. Be warned that this is
not a "superhero" show... at ALL.

I'm on ep 6 right now, and it's pretty good.

I've never been a huge fan of the character, but
I'm imagining any fan should be loving this.
Everything's right... even down to the music.

While I liked her in other roles outside of the netflix shows, she's been insufferable in the universe..it felt like half of Daredevil season 2 was her complaining.

Like 2 or 3 times for very short periods,
so we'll see as the season progresses.

big ears, long torso and all.


I dunno why.


and Lieberman's wife has a TURRIBLE hair color. Was making her look pale/burnt-out part of the deal? So we'd focus on the story.

I know I'm typing hella patriarchal, but such is life.

Madani was cute, but she also had a horse-face...or some kinda animal...can't put my finger on it.

He fights heros alot but that's mainly because the above goes against hero ethos.

After his family was murdered and police
were unable to help him find justice,
he became The Punisher to avenge their
murder and to "wage a one-man war on
crime." This actually makes him a
criminal in the eyes of the law as well.
But why am I telling you this online when
it's googlable? Here:
http://marvel.com/universe/Punisher_(Frank_Castle)

I'm not sure if you remember the story of
the Kentucky officers who put his emblem
on their cars, but it'd be really weird
if his gimmick was killing heroes lol.
It's still weird since he operates outside
the law... but hell, guess the officers
were just being honest... to some degree anyway.
Anywho... just in case you missed that story:

^Okay haven't read a Punisher comic in decades. Spider man still fights crime and swings from buildings right? Has that changed?

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

Pretty dope.

I always pictured Frank Castle to be about 6'3" and 200+ pounds of muscle.

This dude is NOT that, but he brings so much intensity to the role I wonder how long it took him to shake that shit off.

I liked it.

The dude who played Agent Orange (Rawlins) was a prick and a b.a.n. in Nurse Jackie and he brought that same energy.

4 out of 5 stars...would watch again.

I have never been truly satisfied with any of the punisher film or TV depictions some have been close and this series is probably about the best so far but overall I was not loving the whole series.. the story was not bad but neither was it incredibly intriguing... I had big hopes and I'm not dissing it but it fell short..

to start off it had me totally convinced and sold buy the time the scene with the sledghammer and Tom Waits "Hell Broke Luce" but It never managed to recapture or exceed that moment so for me the whole thing peaked right away...

I am somewhat interested to see another season though, with the whole what I assume was a Jigsaw origin.
