He really fuckin' dove into that shit

Like I thought Doctor Who would be his peak but nah fam

If they ever remake the original Star Wars trilogy I want Tennant to play the Emperor. I could absolutely see him hamming it up and chewing up scenery with those ROTJ Emperor bits
 
What??? Are you serious? Jon Bernthal looks gruff as hell. Dude was born to play this role.

yeah, i'm serious. he's got that "hey, I'm going to glue some facial hair on me to look badass look" because in reality he's just a goofy dude. ray stevenson just looks gruff IRL so it's easier to believe. thomas jane had it a bit but he still looked the part. they should have let jon hamm be the punisher. dude would rock it. or tom hardy. he just never looks naturally menacing, he's always gotta grow some dumb goatee thing or rub his face a lot.

Did you see him in the Daredevil show? He was absolutely bad ass. He was made for this role. He nails the look. The attitude. nails. it.

I dunno, I look at him in this and I see someone who looks pretty menacing and doesn't seem like he's all there behind those eyes

They had me with those first few seconds when he was playing "One".

I just hope the whole soundtrack to this show is either all metal, or the entire Justice for All album.
 
Saying Bernthal doesn't look intense enough to play Punisher is crazy talk.

Like yeah he's a handsome enough dude but he also looks menacing as fuck when he needs to

If Bernthal's graveyard monologue and the diner scene from DD S2 won't convince people, I can't help but feel nothing will.

If that's what you see, that's what you see. Jane looked like a male model to me, but I really enjoyed Ray Stephonson's as Punisher.

Bernthal looks unhinged and intense to me. I like it.

It could be one song per episode, tied to the episode's theme.

Damn I definitely thought this show was unnecessary.

But that's a good ass trailer. Might have to tune in.
 
Trailer had some hints for Punisher Max fans for sure, I think this will be great or at least Bernthal will give us that good ass Ennis punisher. He has the look minus the doofy jarhead haircut.
 
Are you thinking of the Jane movie?

No Daredevil season 2. I watched it like three times and I remember it being revealed that he and his family were in the park while a sting was being operated on the low and then the cops came in without clearing the park and motherfuckers started shooting.

Punisher Max 1-4...Ennis run is one of my favorites. Looking forward to this.

The fuck? He looks like he's had his nose broken half a dozen times.
I was actually disappointed when I heard he was cast because I prefer 42D chess Punisher in the comics.
For what they're doing he's good. Really good.

Mixed feelings. I was a big reader of Punisher comics when I was younger but as an adult now, I can see that he was a Rambo of sorts. Soldier with ptsd revenge on fridged family. Considering the current state of affairs in the world right now and the whole push from extreme right wing people, I'm not quite sure how to feel, because the trailer reads like an NRA endorsement banner and the music too gives one of those red states gun loving YouTube videos you often see these days.

Not to deflate the hype because I'm sure it's probably a good show, I just hope it's done with enough tact and just isn't some love letter the machismo military dudes who thinks serving the country is a licence to play cod in real life. Real conflicts are complex both at individual level and in the bigger picture.

Have you read the MAX comics?

Bernthal not looking menacing? You kidding me?

Every time I see that dude he's playing someone that I hate on sight. Sicario, Walking Dead, Fury, The Accountant, Baby Driver, Daredevil....

Only time I've seen him and he didn't look like a menacing asshole was in Wind River, surprisingly.

I can't get excited about any of these MCU shows anymore. I guess if I hear they handle the character in an interesting way, and it's not gun porn gritty vengeance story, I'll get a bit more interested about it.

So, not the Punisher then? I mean, you don't have to have the gun porn, but the rest is sort of inherent to the little I know of the character I thought.

Woah, that was a seriously fantastic trailer, I just watched it four times in a row. Damn fine use of Metallica in there too! No date though? I want it now!!!!

Bernthal did a really great job with the character in DD2, I'm looking forward to seeing him with some room to spread out and really sink his teeth into it.
 
I am hyped boy!!

I just hope they continue on from the court scene where he yells "I am the Punisher" and none of this redemption, feel sorry for him storyline.

Frank is a goddamn psychopath who never left the war. His family getting killed in front of his eyes, retriggered his war mentality. I want to see him torturing criminals because that's who he is. He just don't give a shit.

Good use of the music and already looks like it’s shot much better than the last few Marvel Netflix shows. I’m in.

They’re just teasing with the date, obviously. I’m sure it’s already chosen internally.
