When in 2016 is this suppose to drop? I binged watched season 1 in a couple days, and love to do that again with season 2.

 

[Dai101]

Meh

Come on Slay, you knew this was long due.

 

[Weapxn]

I'm hoping they go simple with his design here. T-shirt, trenchcoat, maybe a bulletproof vest. More Bernie Goetz than fully-stocked soldier - at this point in his career, at least.

Agreed. I think it would make him so much more of a badass if he's wearing very little in terms of costume/armor.

 

[TheSeks]

Lemme Punish' S'mthin'.

 

[v1lla21]

Give him some tactical pants, Punisher shirt, dope ass boots, and shoulder holsters.

 

[Sinatar]

Meh

 

[Slayven]

Come on Slay, you knew this was long due.

If only to get him out the way so real characters can shine like The Hood or Stone and the ninja squad.

Punisher is the most boring part of the Marvel Universe.

They've gotta build up to him dressing up like a one man army.

 

[harSon]

Not a bad choice. I would have preferred Frank Grillo:

Too bad they already used him in the Marvel Universe

 

[iosefe]

So does that mean the Penske truck driver in Captain America: The Winter Soldier really was the Punisher, like the Russo bros said?

wouldn't that be lovely

I bet you think Night Thrasher is cool.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Tom Hardy would have been amazing. Such a shame.

 

[victreeb3l]

S2 is gonna be so goddamn violent. Love it.

 

[duckroll]

OMG! THE PUNISHER! FUCK YEAH!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Tom Hardy is way too big for this show.

I like the choice all things considered. Thank god it's not that guy from Heroes.

 

[davey_jones_1217]

Read the entire Ennis MAX run, then read Aaron's MAX run, then read Greg Rucka's run.

That order sounds about right.
What do you think of Nathan Edmondson's run thus far?

You'll die holding your breath waiting for The Hood.

 

[Slayven]

OG or Bandit?

Cause OG got shit done and clowned the fuck out of Cap at times. He was a great character.

Corny skateboard aside

You'll die holding your breath waiting for The Hood.

I bet Vegas money he will be the Defenders villain.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

To be fair, he was in Peaky Blinders season 2. Daredevil is a much bigger show.

 

[OldRoutes]

What if Punisher is the Thanos of street Marvel?!

 

[Brian Fellows]

Love the choice.

Dude is pretty badass. Walking Dead was the start of a good thing for him. He was awesome on there too.

Being in The Pacific probably didn't hurt either.

 

[Discotheque]

To be fair, he was in Peaky Blinders season 2. Daredevil is a much bigger show.

he worked with the writer of that show before on Locke and they seem to have a good working relationship. different circumstances, he's working on a show soon too with the same creator.

 

[Slayven]

What if Punisher is the Thanos of street Marvel?!

That would be Shadowland Daredevil

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Peaky Blinders is a BBC show.

 

[Replicant]

Not a bad choice. I would have preferred Frank Grillo:

Too bad they already used him in the Marvel Universe

Yeah, to be perfectly honest, Grillo is my ideal Frank Castle. But Bernthal isn't a bad substitute.

 

[Maddocks]

Great choice. No one has ever really felt like Punisher for me, always felt like they are playing dress up but I'm hoping this changes it where he looks the part and acts the part. Excited to see.

 

[Discotheque]

these days though nobody's too big for TV. nobody.

but hardy and marvel studios aren't really a good fit.

 

[Nyanmaruz]

2016 is absolutely insane right now.
Batman vs Superman
Captain America vs Iron Man
and now Daredevil vs Punisher

 

[Callibretto]

great news, now I only need to know if Punisher is recurring character in season 2 or just a one episode appearance like Stick, maybe just an episode to establish him and set up his own show after Defenders.

 

[Loxley]

Wow, spot-on casting. Can't believe I didn't think of him before now, he'll be an awesome Frank Castle.

Season 2 is gonna kick some serious ass.

 

[Salsa]

no sir I don't like it

 

[Sinatar]

That order sounds about right.
What do you think of Nathan Edmondson's run thus far?

It's nothing but trash. Terrible run.

 

[AgentOtaku]

FANTASTIC choice!!!!

 

[ElTopo]

I would have liked Thomas Jane to come back but Bernthal is genius casting.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Dat neck tattoo...

 

[GodParticle]

I don't picture him as punisher. I would have thought he's a better fit for bullseye

 

[Jack Scofield]

Not a bad choice. I would have preferred Frank Grillo:

Too bad they already used him in the Marvel Universe

They should have just had him become the Punisher anyways, instead of the character he plays in the next Captain America movie. Combine the two characters into one, who cares?

I'd rather see this guy for an entire season of Daredevil than just a few minutes in Civil War.

 

[Anung]

I wonder what kind of contrived situations they can cook up for Castle not offing Fisk. Maybe they can bring GSP back for a cameo...

I imagine Fisk is going to play a kind of Hannibal Lecter role where he spends a great deal of season 2 behind bars but is calling the shots and is trying to deal with Punisher and Daredevil's activities.

 

[lamaroo]

You'll die holding your breath waiting for The Hood.

The Hood?

 

[Slayven]

The Hood?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

That order sounds about right.

I liked the early parts. Middle sagged. I haven't read the last couple of issues, they're sitting on my desk, waiting to be read.

There's some good, some not-so-good. I like that he tried to humanize Castle, I like the sidecast. Art's mostly really good. Like the new locale.

But Frank gets his ass kicked to a hilarious degree, it makes him look totally ineffective.

 

[y2dvd]

I've always been #teamshane.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I've always been #teamshane.

Me too. I'm only still watching TWD in hopes that Rick will eventually die.

 

[J10]

The Hood?

You should feel bad about this post. You probably don't, but you should.

 

[Enosh]

I think this would be pretty perfect:

I hope they do tacticool punisher (or at least transition to it over time), never really liked the trenchcoat and shirt version

 

[The One and Done™]

RICK!!

He'll fit perfectly in Daredevil then :3

 

[Evolved1]

I like the choice... really. But I was hoping Punisher would be its own show, so it could have its own tone.

People say DD is dark... but I think it's Care Bears compared to The Punisher. I was hoping for something heavier.

Still pretty cool, but a little disappointing.

 

[Sobriquet]

So they are gonna work in Punisher into the larger Marvel TV-verse, huh?

It's almost like back in May of 2013 I basically drew up the fuckin' roadmap for this shit

Holy shit

 

[Violence Jack]

I love it. I already thought Daredevil was brutal. With The Punisher being added, it's going to be violent as fuck.
