Looks fantastic, much like season 1

I was a little hesitant about Bernthal cast as the Punisher at the start but I like what i see here. Im hoping this opens the door for other "anti hero" characters to be showcased like Moon Knight or Ghost Rider

Netflix has really open the door to more adult oriented comic book content

Saw Deadpool today, very impressed. Not as consistently jokey as I thought people were making it out to be, but it was still a great blend of comedy and action.

Can't wait to see where they go with this character.

9.5/10

Seeing how well the r rating and level of violence worked for deadpool it shows just how much they missed the mark with the rubbish punisher movies

Unfortunately I don't think the Punisher could carry the appeal for a good movie. It's never attracted any decent star power nor do the studios seem to want to throw any decent $ into the movie

Deadpool worked due to Reynolds and co pushing hard and the great mix of humour and action. It had a very broad appeal and super good marketing

I think Netflix is the perfect vehicle for the type of character like the Punisher. 10 Ep tv series lets them build depth on a smaller budget.

Do any of you listen to various podcasts on comic book hereos and movies and such.

Ive started listening to a few the past 4-5 months and there quite entertaining and pass the time when your doing mundane things.

A few of my favourites

https://www.youtube.com/user/KevinSmith37/videos - Featuring kevin Smith and Marc bernadin, broadcasts usually 3 times a week. Evolved from Fatman on Batman podcasts which are still accecsible are are a must listen for any batman or comic book enthusiast.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCndoVSG1AYiAmqa25EhlCVA - Superhero news, not to long pops up roughly every week and pretty informative. hector Navarro in particular is a gold mine.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=comics+explained - Comicsexplained, once and week and a very knowledgable discussion. Also the videos on superhero lore done by Rob are amazing, save Frederick from reading Wiki all the time ;-)

https://www.youtube.com/user/mrsundaymovies - Australias own and one of the best and most entertaining podcasts and channels out there

I've loved the Fat Man on Batman podcast since the start. I listen to a lot of Smith's podcasts. He really knows how to tell a story.
Mr Sunday Movies I found in YouTube. He's not bad, got a good sense of humour. Will have to check out the others. Cheers for the recommendations.

I listen to/watch on YouTube "Collider". They have a daily movie news show and also a weekly Heroes and Star Wars show. Really like it and I am addicted.

Love watching John Campea when he goes on a rant.
I tend to agree with a lot of what he says.

10 episodes would be too much for the type of justice the punisher likes to dish out.

A 4 episode mini-series would be the way to go imo.
