    Far more interesting than The Defenders.
    Job Bernthal makes this character unlike the others.

    Hope Marvel turn it around after the total dud that was Iron-Fist. ..

    Iron-Fist was nearly unwatchable. Anything they do can not go any lower.

    Started this last night: very dark, very violent and quite slow-paced...3rd episode in.

    7 episodes so far and it´s kind of a so-so series.
    Someone menrioned elsewhere how could a full series about The Punisher be created and realised and I can see why.

    I remember when the Punisher character first appeared in the 70s:
    [​IMG]

    I thought he was a cool character but very limited. And even the Marvel editors saw him as a 2nd-tier, support character.
    Whether or not a 2nd series is in the pipeline, I dont know, but they cant continue along this particular storyline with reference to Afghanistan, CIA, etc

    I don’t get how you guys can watch these mediocre super hero tv shows. Y’all must have a lot of time on your hands.

    I think it's because they move away from the 'super-hero' aspect and downplay it.

    The Punisher especially wasn't in this vein - he was more of a supportive character bsck in the day.

    But overall, only a couple of Marvel's series are any good - Luke Cage, Daredevil and probably this hit the target.

    The Punisher is no superhero. He has no superpowers, nor gadgets, nor uses a mask, nor goes around fighting super villains. He is just a messed up veteran that first killed gangsters out of revenge, but then he can't stop killing those he deem doesn't deserve to live. Too much pain and rage that only gets soothed by killing bad people. A real nut case. He is closer to Charles Bronson vigilante than to Captain America. Watch the first episode and judge for yourself.

    The problem with The Punisher series is that it moves away from the characteris ics of the original character: he's not out for revenge or retribution and blowing away all the bad guys in the USA in so much as tying-up lose ends from his time with his company in Afghanistan.

    Literally starting it now. Was stoked on the casting choice. Bernthal is a good actor.

    I think the tv series premise is more believable than the one in the comics so I am okay with these artistic licenses.

    I know who and what the Punisher is. I used superhero more so as the overall genre, not the lead character and no I will not watch the first episode. I won’t even give it or any other super hero tv show a chance, it’s just not my cup of tea.

    First episode was solid.

    LB4LB why are you in these threads if you don't watch or like comic book stuff?

    Dude: this show has as much superhero stuff as Reservoir Dogs. Forget the comicbook source and enjoy a good action thriller.

    When it comes to me committing my time to a tv series, it’s top of the line drama or nothing. Fuck comedies, action thrillers, and horrors, but most of all fuck reality tv shows.

    This is a good question. It seems like you're flirting with watching these but never do.

    I think i know what lb4lb means.

    The superhero/comicbook genre of movie-making is so far ahead and superior to the Netflix shows that it sometimes really comes off as 'disappointing' but it's a toss-up whether they are any good or not:

    Daredevil - excellent
    Luke Cake - good
    The Punisher - good
    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - average
    Jessica Jones - average
    Iron-Fist - poor
    Inhumans - poor
    The Defenders - not seen

    Defenders was actually 'watchable', but not memorable at all.

    I'd rate them:
    Daredevil - Excellent
    Jessica Jones - Good
    Luke Cage - Average to Good
    The Defenders - Average
    Iron Fist - DONE FUCKED IT

    Iron fist was by far the worst one. Mainly because of the man who plays Danny Rand himself....annoying actor.

    Defenders though was actually very good.

    Some English guy who´s about 5´9 and 150lb with stupid curly hair and beard - and this is most annoying - almost seemed like a fucktarded kid who didnt know wtf was going on half-the-time.

    He´s about 1/2 the size of the real Iron-Fist:
    [​IMG]

    And how many times did he actually use the iron-fist in the entire season?
    I counted 6.

    They needed to cast someone like the guy from Arrow. That show is bad but he at least looks like someone who trains to fight. Dude from Iron Fist has a concave chest.

    Iron-Fist needed at least to put the freaking uniform or at least a mask. None was done. I hope Shang-Chi beats his ass bad.
