Netflix nailed it again.
I enjoyed the whole season. I wasn't really looking forward to a Punisher show at all until Jon Bernthal did his thing. If they don't it end up making a series out of the character I hope they at least weave him into the ones they are doing. [Reply]
I was 100% okay with someone other than Bullseye killing Elektra. Actually, the only thing that would piss me off is if they did it again with Bullseye just to pander to fanboys.

Spoiler!
I just wonder how evil she will be when she is reborn from that urn.
one thing i could never stand about heroes is the idea that nobody recognized Clark Kent is Superman because he is wearing glasses.
Just like she didn't happen to notice....when she was up close and personal....he put his hand on her face and tenderly asks if she's OK.....and she somehow doesn't realize that it's Matt.
but man oh man. just a great season.
does anybody know if Daredevil...in the comics....does he ever stop this "I won't kill anyone" bullshit?? [Reply]
Naboo and the Hand storyline was tacked on after Statham declined to be Bullseye. Since the the Punisher plot and Hand plot kinda went in different directions.
and no DD never kills anybody but he has no problem crippling people. [Reply]
I'm only through Episode 5, but yeah. Bernthal did really well. During the first fight, I thought he needed to be a little more physically imposing. But man, scene at the cemetary where he talked about his daughter, that's insane. He just ate up that scene, chewed through it like a fucking piranha. I don't know how many actors are capable of what he did, but the number has to be small. That was some damned compelling television. [Reply]

That scene actually choked me up a little bit. [Reply]
Just finished the last episode. Man. Marvel is God.
The punisher character was awesome. I was talking to my buddy about it and he asked if the punisher was the villain. My answer was, "uhhhh ish". The series does a great job of not dancing around the vigilante thing. I mean sure Kingpin was bad. The hand was bad. But Daredevil, Electra Stick and Punisher aren't necessarily villains but it's tough to look at them as heroes with all the collateral damage.
The Punisher character was damn compelling. Kingpins development was interesting. Karen and foggy were kind of weak compared to the first season but there isn't a lot they can do with them. The police seargent was really good and they crammed a lot of plot points and emotional noted through his tiny character. That was really well done.
The blacksmith shit was kind of confusing. I presume it was the colonel, right? I will say all that shit was convoluted, but the episode where they killed Reyes was really damn impactful.
The hand was of weird. I still don't know wtf was going on with them. I'm not a comic book guy. I still don't know wtf a black sky is. Other than a weapon. I don't know htf Nobu is still alive or how those goofy ninja fuckers got brought back to life. I know it's a slow burn payoff but come on.
The only real problems is that a couple things were kind of sloppy. There were a few things that were bad film making. Like after the trial Matt and foggy go to the bathroom Matt locks the door. Foggy throws a fit and storms out without unlocking it. Also they made it a point to surround the building in the last episode with snipers. But the punisher got up there and smoked fools.
It's also kind of weird that he got his ass beat by Russians on the regular but he can take on trained ninjas like 10 times during the show and doesn't have any impact on his health even though he can't hear them. That's not all the armor.
Overall though good shit. Can't wait for another season. [Reply]
