Im all about it. Punisher is one of my favorite Marvel characters.

Fun Fact Marvel has semi-canceled the Punisher theyve been trying to keep him under wraps due to all Punisher skulls affiliated with MAGA, Cops, and military guys.

They tried to replace Frank Castle last year with a new Punisher who was an ex-SHIELD agent. The comic sold so badly it was cancelled after four issues. <lmao><lol>

Agreed. I've always said that Daredevil season 2 was the best Punisher season.

And for the love of God, Marvel, stop trying to humanize the Punisher! The Punisher is not a nice guy. Frank Castle would be the first person to tell you this. He's a high-functioning Psychopath. While he did genuinely love his wife and children, as much as someone like him could love anyone, he loved combat even more. And their deaths gave him the perfect excuse to fight a war that will never end.

Frank Castle is a serial killer. His redeeming feature is that his victims are much, much worse. He never kills innocents.

There's a scene in the Netflix series, where Rawlings is torturing Frank to death. Frank has a vision of his wife, Maria, who implores him to let go and be at peace.

Maria, "Come home, Frank".

Frank(sadly)"I am home, Maria".

Castle comes back to life, breaks free and kills Rawling's by jamming his thumbs through the CIA officer's eyes. :eek:

100%

In the little I watched of the series, when he was playing as a pretend friendly neighbor to her close to the one woman and her kid so he could get information(? Don’t really remember).

No.

Punisher doesn’t go undercover to gain information. He waits, stalks, kills. He is a force that creeps out of the night. The alpha of alphas.

That’s my problem with JB. His take on intensity isn’t what Frank is. His bobbing around almost anxious pent up rage energy is wrong. Punishers rage is cold, calculated and absolutely devastating.

Agreed. In The Slavers, which many fans regard as the ultimate Punisher story, Frank tries to get information about the sex trafficking ring. His first stop is a group of low-level scum. Frank kills most of them, then shoots holes in the legs of the guy in charge until he tells Frank where the girls are being held. Which turns out to be a heavily-guarded house. Frank admits to himself that getting in there without a lot of the girls being killed in the crossfire will be difficult,

"Undercover wouldn't cut it. I look like trouble, no matter what".

And yeah, Frank rarely shows strong emotion. In fact, the more pissed off Castle is, the colder and more focussed he becomes. It's one of the things that makes him so dangerous. He's like the Terminator, or even Michael Myers. A killing machine.

Barely made it to the second episode of the second season of the Punisher netflix show. It was too much of a soap opera.

Pilgrim was the best character in that season. Loved the fight between him and Frank, where they both take a moment to catch their breath and pick up weapons.

Frank, "You need another minute?"

Pilgrim, "I was just waiting on you".

The look on Frank's face just screams, "Oh, this is gonna be a hard workout..."

One of the better characters from the comics as well.

The scene where Pilgrim is surveying his injuries in the hotel room and the cuts back to how they occurred while "Drunkards Prayer" plays in the background was the best scene in the whole Punisher series.

Pulling teeth out of his head....

Pushing his own jaw back into line after it had been dislocated during the fight... :eek:

I still say Ray Stevenson had the best Punisher “look” in War Zone. Like he just jumped out of the comic books to life.

Could not agree more. He looked like a middle-aged guy who'd been fighting his war for decades, had the shit kicked out of him more times than he could count. But was still as hard as fucking nails.

Straight out of the comic. Especially the Max run. :cool:

I agree, underrated actor too. I remember disliking almost everything about that movie when it first came out, I revisited it recently and I appreciate how comic-y it is along with the performance from Stevenson, I enjoyed it.

On the flip side I liked the Thomas Jane Punisher alot back in the day and now I watch that one and it didn't age as well for me.

Jane was a good Punisher, the movie was a let down.

Russians death was a massive downgrade from the comics..
