Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie • Page 247

I dunno, I liked Season 2. My main complaint I can remember offhand is that the Jigsaw plotline felt wasted because it never really intersected back with Frank except at the end, when it no longer mattered. Felt like they should've saved Jigsaw for the future or made Season 2 more about him.

 

I never watched season 2 because they had announced the cancellations.

 

I sat through Iron Fist s1 without getting bored - hell, I even like a lot of Defenders - but Punisher s2 is the only season I straight up had to turn off because I was going crosseyed with boredom. just unbelievably unexciting writing imo. not to mention, they fucked up Jigsaw so hard. s1 left the perfect blueprint for him to be a great villain and they fumbled it in every conceivable way

 

oh. yellow daredevil

 

And Matt was all yellow

 

What's with the bats? Is Batman in this???

 

Rosario Dawson is now walking back her comment about Punisher, saying she heard it from a fan and thought they knew something she didn't.

I dunno, sounds sus.

 

It ain't a Marvel project unless one of the actors drops info way ahead of plan.

 

Punisher season 2 felt unnecessary because where Frank ended up at the end of the season is where he should've been at the end of season 1. They need to move past the origin, he should know what he is now. Also, it felt like they watered the character down too much in an attempt to make him more likeable. I don't think the Punisher is really meant to be a likeable character lol

 

I strongly disagree with the latter. One of the reasons I loved Bernthal's take is because of how well he portrayed a Punisher that's ruthless to his enemies and affable to everyone else.

 

I really like Jon Bernthal in the role. But the Punisher is a serial killer, he's not a nice guy. My favourite run in the comics is the Punisher MAX stuff that Garth Ennis did, and I'd love to see that version of the character fully come to life on screen. Punisher in Daredevil season 2 is the closest we've had to that, season 1 of Punisher had some great moments, but there were lots of scenes in season 2 that just felt like a betrayal of the character imo.

 

oh yeah lol they did the 'Frank retires from Punishing and reluctantly gets dragged back in' beat like three times across the two seasons. just a really frustrating circular storytelling choice

him softening up over s1 in his relationship with Micro but still being ruthless when it counted was the best thing about the show. then s2 just... did that arc again with a precocious kid who against all odds bonded with the broken violent man. like come on people how many times do we need to see this exact fucking arc again and again

 

(shrugs) I liked it. I like being reminded that Frank Castle is a human being.

Also, can't lie, with some exceptions, everything I've read in the MAX line turns me off.

 

It's still funny how Russo just had like 4 scars on his face

 

Frank Castle will be in the Thunderbolts squad. We might see him ahead of then - maybe he even gets into trouble in one of the Netflix shows, thus lining him up for Thunderbolts.

 

I'm all for a homicidal serial killer puppet in the MCU

 

I misspoke. Well done.

 

Thanks for reminding me this band rules.

 

They did that years ago

Tell halomancer1 not me

 

The Fantastic Four: Big in Japan book was a lot of fun. Never tried any of the manga.

Batman and Catwoman animes were both dope.

 

Didn’t there used to be an Iron Man vs Punisher anime that used to be on Netflix? I mean, I’m sure it was elsewhere too, but that’s the only place I saw it
