So far this just feels like stories and s*** they already told way better in the show.

I think I've grown out of the Punisher character at this point.
Just mindless violence, blood n gore at this point, man, what's there to like?
Not enough time spent on his humanity and depth.

I know; traumatised veteran murdering everything and everyone he deems unrighteous is the type of character many love to vicariously live through though.
Anyway, meh.

s/o jon bernthal though.

Honestly thinking about it, this makes me even more curious to see him in Spider-Man. What can they do with the character when they can’t have gratuitous violence paired with him?

This

Action was fun but like what was the point of that lmao. Nothing new added to his character.

The humanity and depth stuff they do try just feels repetitive and dull too lol almost like they just throw it in to excuse his brutality rather than actually going deep with it

Fully agree. Him seeing ghosts and having flashbacks n stuff like that is tired at this point. It just doesn't do much, it's just there. He doesn't evolve from it, he doesn't get worse from it.

Serious case of been there done that

It’s basically a meme at this point the way they redo this arc every single time bernthal is in a punisher project lmfao

Only comparable example I can think of is Magneto going from evil to joining forces with Xavier basically every single movie in the Fox xmen

Not exclusive to Punisher unfortunately they also harp on Daredevils "no kill" thing a bit too much also and even make it look like a weak point intentionally or unintentionally (even dragged it into The Defenders to argue morals about)...Fisk murdering protesters but Matt freaking out when the protesters jump his ass was so wack

the end to that was so dumb too

homeless guy: that's not all he took from me

*Frank automatically assumes the worst and smokes the guy lmao*

like of course that a\*\*\*\*\*\* deserved it but just silly how that played out IMO

Yeah lmao. Bro deserved it but it lowkey didn’t make sense.

We need like a crank movie but with punisher he could use the war machine armor , become frankencastle , become cosmic Ghost Rider idc go crazy

I get the vibe its mostly for people totally unfamiliar with his character. It’s basically concentrating the essence of the character into an episode, not adding anything new

so punisher has a show coming out oct 14 and the 1 hr movie is like a prequel ?

Nah, the Vision show is October 14th, the Punisher is just a standalone thing rn, though it seems they might be setting something up

watching this is like watching someone play gta with cheats like you put pedestrians have weapons and pedestrians hate you and all they do is come up to you and fight you

Man this was just stupid

there goes my goat

This felt utterly pointless lmao

Didn’t mind the punisher special

I hope they are setting up a movie or series with Bernthal

what was the point of this?

the difference in quality between this and the original nextflix show is jarring. you can tell this was shot in a studio. the action as cool but it felt like the violence was happening in lower case lmao.
