The Punisher (Netflix series)

[KCUnited]

It's a really well done show. My biggest challenge with it though (besides all the grunting) is The Punisher's resemblance to our goofy local sports guy on WGN morning news, Pat Tomasulo. He's the anti-Punisher. They recently did a feature on him overcoming his childhood fears by going back to Disney and riding on the ride he pooped his pants on as a kid. It put a dent in my enjoyability of the show.

I will say, Frank Castle has Wolverine-like regeneration abilities.

Watched a bit with my son. Too dark for a comic book show. Turned it to Archer.

The source material is certainly not for kids.

I am hoping we get Barracuda or the Vigilante Squad next season.

no way should kids be watching this show. It's not just violence, the gore etc. it's just full of bad people doing bad things to good people.

Thank goodness they went out of their way to protect us from the shock and horrors of seeing boobs, though. I mean, think of the children.

He's 19. Didn't turn it for him, turned it for me because it was a comic book being dark which to me is silly.

There are some really dark comic books. Maus for example which has mice, cats, and pigs for characters but is about the authors parents experiences during the holocaust, the suicide of his mother because of her experiences in Auschwitz, and the effect it had on his parents and his relationship with his parents.

That's a graphic novel.

Unlike the other MCU properties Daredevil and the rest of the shows under the Defenders banner – were produced by Netflix. As such, yanking them off the service seems logistically impossible. But will Disney strongarm their former partner?

It’s been confirmed that future Marvel shows will be exclusive to Disney’s service. The existing shows, however, will stay on Netflix. What’s more, it’s said that any spinoffs of those shows will also stay on the site. Netflix keeping the series they helped to create makes sense, but will Disney allow them to make future seasons of shows like Jessica Jones and The Punisher, or license out new characters for said spinoffs?

As for the existing shows that Netflix already houses such as Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, The Defenders and The Punisher, it has been confirmed that they will be staying on their original platform. This arrangement will also hold for future seasons and off-shoots of the aforementioned series.

To answer the same question from a few people: The Marvel shows currently on Netflix, and any spin-offs from them, will stay on that platform

I finished this series yesterday. I really liked the series, and Bernthal was born to play the role, but it's not a superhero show and definitely not for kids. I also imagine that there will be more than one PTSD-riddled veteran needing extra VA therapist appointments after that, so if you or any of your friends suffer from that, maybe go watch Stranger Things instead or something.

Spoiler!

I don't think we'll see Micro again; I think this season was his arc, and it ended at a good place, which is good by me. I also think it's a foregone conclusion that Jigsaw will be back for Season Two, which is good, because I liked Prince Caspian's portrayal of his vanity and moral emptiness, and I want to see how he does that character with the sanity switch off. I also really liked Dina by the end, but she's not integral; I imagine that next season we'll be likely to have Frank run across one or two superhumans, starting with Force, who we last saw watching boxing reruns and from whom they could make a pretty good tear-soaked-rampage/theft-from-a-slimy-corporation storyline, maybe with Justin Hammer or alongside Melvin Potter? Now I'm just spitballing.

Other thoughts: I don't know how anyone could look at Crazy-Eyed Jacked-Out Bernthal swing a sledgehammer every day and think he was a mindless, bullyable gimp; I loved the song they used for Captain Sledgey's Revenge at the end of episode 1; I'm enjoying Turk and Now-Detective Mahoney more than I am missing Rosario Dawson; I did love seeing the van, but the muscle-car chase scene could have been better; Jigsaw's fate was squeamishly and amazingly perfect; and the girl at the popcorn stand at the end should be able to do much better than her weenie co-worker.

That'll do. Now what's next, Luke Cage 2, I guess?

Would like to see this trio:



or Barracuda



in season 2.
