Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) I have to say that Jon Bernthal was the perfect choice for the character. I'd go as far as to say that he did for the punisher what heath ledger did for joker. Edited November 20, 2017 by Twinblade 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't expect to see a trend where entertainment products with gun violence are going to suddenly start getting panned by critics. It came out way later (like 6 months after). If you lived in the US, you would understand. The Las Vegas shooting, in particular, stirred up the gun control debate to new levels (since the victims were mostly straight white people). I work in TV news, and it’s the first time we aren’t doing a year end promo because of all the mass shootings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I work in TV news, and it’s the first time we aren’t doing a year end promo because of all the mass shootings. I guess that sort of makes sense. I don't really follow the politics of these shootings so maybe im just out of the loop with their effects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kokujin 558 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Up here in Minnesota, we've well gone past the Vegas shooting. Too desensitized. To give credit, 50 people in Orlando was a awfully high spike from trends of 'only's a dozen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kokujin 558 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 The punisher is pretty lame (tame). Not enough super jackets I swear dare devil perfected the vision of comic heroes super dwelling in slice of life much better than JJ, or punisher. If you asked me before knowledge that this is a marvel spun show, I'd have no idea this has to do with any heroes or myths. Just yur standard military griller. DD,really combined both modern life but with ninjas and blind solo in crimson cameroons kicking ass, and spoiled us in the Netflix marvel series. Frank is already much better in his DD appearances too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's exactly where I am. I thought even if DD was slice of life in season 1, they paid homage to it BEING a super hero and super villan show by the end of it, and especially the last two eps of season one. Will see where TP goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still, some of the shit that happens later on does feel a bit “super”... ths last batch of eps are incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a western where the focus is on a small town run almost entirely by women, because nearly all of the men were killed in a mine collapse. The visuals and use of lighting in some scenes is top notch. The director of the Knick was involved in it too, though I’m not sure what his role was. There’s more I could say but I think it’s best if you just watch it for yourself 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eh there are a lot of fight scenes. However, there’s plenty of depth too. You’ll find yourself getting quite connected to the characters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
