Marvel's The Punisher on Netflix has probably wound up being my favorite Netflix show so far. Not just my favorite Netflix/Marvel show, but my favorite Netflix show period. They just got every part of this one so right. In fact, usually I'd throw away some episodes so far on almost every one of these Netflix/Marvel seasons. This one had me at every episode. So it's needless to say I got pretty excited when Netflix just announced season 2. With Disney trying their handf at a streaming service soon these show's futures are really in the air. I'm really glad they're going to get a second run. Hopefully, they'll keep with the story they've started & just pick up where they left off. Maybe see the villain I don't want to spoil team up with Kingpin for his revenge even?!? One can only hope... What do y'all think of The Punisher getting a second run? Check out this featurette on the first season, & put it in the comments, like, & share.
Marvel No Longer Will Produce Shows For Netflix
Ever since Disney has announced its own streaming service coming sometime in 2019 & pulling its content off of Netflix I've been wondering what did that mean for the Netflix/Marvel universe? While we still don't know the future for Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, & the Punisher, according to Inside the Magic any future Marvel shows will go straight to the new Disney streaming service. With Disney really seeming to be aiming for Netflix, I definitely wouldn't rule out the Netflix/Marvel shows being moved over to this new streaming service eventually as well. Only the future will tell. I must say though, this is exciting. If they can keep the quality up at least. There's a part of me that can't help but think the Netflix/Marvel shows anywhere but on Netflix might lose a some of their grittiness. What do y'all think of this though? The Punisher on Nov 17th will be the last Netflix addition even if they get to keep their roster intact. Put your thoughts in the comments, like, & share.
Marvel's The Punisher Is Going To Show How To Reboot An Origin
This is how you retell an origin story that's already been told a couple times. The new preview for Marvel's The Punisher airing in full November 17th on Netflix gives us a quick look at Frank Castle's revamped beginnings. I've always thought when it comes to origin stories as long as you keep the basic essentials you can change the rest however suits your story. This is a great example of that mind-frame. Keep the essentials, Daredevil's blinding, Spider-Man's Spider-bite, Frank's family, these all have to happen. How they happen, the details, can be changed up though, & not effect the core essence of the story. Once again though, this trailer delivers. This looks like it's going to be the best Netflix has gave us so far. What do y'all think though? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Marvel's "Punisher" Gets Postponed??
So in response to the Las Vegas massacre of 58 on Oct. 1 Netflix pulled out of a pre-scheduled panel session for The Punisher at New York Comic Con. Many believed that the panel would have been followed by a special surprise launch in October, rumored as early as Saturday. Netflix had never announced a date, but it's now expected for late fall. This sucks. If this was really the case & The Punisher was coming this weekend, I'm a little pissed off. I know this was a horribly tragic thing, but with everybody wanting it to be labeled terrorism, I can only think this is the wrong way to handle it. I mean, the definition of terrorism pretty much is to instill terror. Isn't this reaction exactly what they're going for in the first place? Every time we change our actions due to one of these heinous acts we're doing exactly what terror bringers want us to do. I understand there are a lot of guns in The Punisher, & maybe it's because I come from a time when uber-violence was understood as fake when in reference to entertainment. My heart goes out to the victims of Oct. 1st's Las Vegas shooting. I just can't help but feel that giving these shooters as much acknowledgement as we tend to do, is exactly what they want. I wish we would mourn the victims, & not even release the shooter's information. Take away that acknowledgement to let any future copycats know they will NOT be remembered for what they have done. Anyway, off subject, sorry for the rant. Would really like to know others views on this. If this is the case are these the right actions to take. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Netflix's Punisher Lives Up To Its Moto The Truth Must Be Taken
I think someone at Netflix was listening to me. After expressing my excitement starting to dwindle, it didn't take two days for them to put up this awesome new trailer for Marvel's The Punisher. We're definitely getting some new Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) origin action, now involving some CIA stuff. Also, seeming to be the reason Micro (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) gets involved. This trailer lives up to everything I've been expecting from this Punisher. My excitement is back to it's peak for this one. I've always found Frank's story intriguing, especially when it's done right. His style of vengeance gets lost in the excessive body counts sometimes. At the core though, what really makes Frank, is that through the rage he has a code to his mission. This seemed like we're going to really dive into what behind not only that code, but what's behind that mindset. And instead of being the focus, the giant body count will just serve as the icing on the cake. They've got this coming out sometime 2017. Which they're running out of, so it's got to be right around the corner. Anyway, what do y'all think of this awesome trailer? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Marvel's Punisher New Pics & Teaser
I've been excited for Marvel's Punisher coming to Netflix since they debuted Jon Berthal playing the character in Daredevil: Season 2. I loved the trailer that came out last month. I'm not really sure what I think of this new promo. It features Frank taking out some soldiers Rambo style. Which all looks cool, except for the fact it's shot in strange "shaky cam" supposedly off the soldiers body cams. I didn't really care for it. I'm hoping this is just a one time use, not a frequently used camera trick, but it still leaves me a little worried none the less. Something like that over & over might throw me out of this a bit. Below the promo trailer are some pics that Entertainment Weekly released. A couple of Frank, one from his war days, a couple of Micro (David Lieberman), some agents, acquaintances, & a lot of Daredevil's Karen (Deborah Ann Woll). It looks like she will be a major part of the Punisher's journey. The pics really seem like standard fare. I don't know why my excitement is dwindling for this one. I'm attributing it the fact it's seems like it's been awhile since we've seen Frank. We've had Luke Cage, Iron Fist, & Defenders without a peep from Castle. I don't even remember a mention. (If there was, sorry, I missed the insignificant little thing.) Anyway, I'm hoping by the first episode sometime later this year I swing right back around. I'm sure that'll be the case as I've enjoyed all these Marvel Netflix shows. Anyway, what do y'all think of these? Excited or meh? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Punisher Trailer Debuts With A Vengeance
It would've been real easy to let this one slip through the cracks with Defenders debut & all the Star Wars news goin on. Meanwhile though this vicious Marvel Punisher trailer for Netflix dropped. This looks like it's going to be everything I was hoping it would be. I loved the first Punisher movie & didn't hate the second film, War Zone. Hell, i didnt really even mind the campy Australian version. When Bernthall popped up as the character in the second season of Daredevil though, I knew we had never seen the role perfected until then. This trailer keeps that momentum going too. Looks as if we're going to get some of Frank Castle's tragic origin as well. I can't wait for this, probably even more so than the other upcoming Marvel/Netflix seasons. It won't be too much longer either, we're running out of 2017 fast. What do y'all think though? Best Punisher ever? Still need more to figure it out? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Really Brief First Look At The Punisher
This Defenders featurette released yesterday to immediately being basically labeled as The Punisher trailer. Needless to say, I was a little let down because of that. Not because it's a bad featurette. Quite the opposite, I thought this was really put together well. I was let down in the fact that after hearing all this Punisher hype I was expecting more than a three second line after the feature's conclusion. I've been super excited for this after Frank Castle's first appearances in Daredevil season 2. This is our best portrayal of the character yet, & I can't wait to see his own series. I'm hoping it's as uncut/unfiltered as I think it's going to be. Gotta say I wanted a little more of a teaser for Punisher than this. I will put this out there though. Does anyone else suspect that this teaser isn't as much for The Punisher series as it is a hint the we might be seeing mister Castle pop up in the upcoming Defenders? A little food for thought. I wouldn't put it past them. Anyway what do you think? Did you like this featurette? Did you want more Punisher? Do you think we'll see him in The Defenders? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
