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]
Wow what season. Bernthal is just awesome as Punisher. I want to see more of him. Also the way it ended was near perfect! I liked the Elektra actor as well...really curious to see what happens. Also...Statham is he just too big to do this type of stuff? The music the action everything about this show is great..can't wait for s3. [Reply]
GD this is a great series. So glad I waited until Season 2 dropped to binge on both at once. I really like how all the heroes and villains come into thier monikers/ costumes organically.
I noticed in season 1 the sniper that kills the cops had a playing card in his bag so I thought for sure bullseye would be in S2 but after reading comments here I can see how the rewrite happened.
Vincent D'onfrio is fucking boss as kingpin. Absolutely nails the character. Hard not to see Sgt Pile when I look at him though.
Elodie Yung is epic as Elektra. Much better than the horse face from the feature film.
Berenthal is also, as many have mentioned before, perfect for Punisher. Great casting. [Reply]
