I hated Shane in the walking dead and was pissed when they cast Jon Bernthal as Punisher (I was also pissed when the cast donofrio as kingpin, mainly because of his size, but he owned that part). But I figured with my apprehension about Kingpin and the way they came through I'd give it a chance. I'm glad I did because he was god damn incredible.Imo this one was better than Luke Cage and Jessica Jones and I enjoyed both those.
It suffers from the same problem of story pacing as all the other series. Marvel/Netflix should go to a 10 episode format.
Looking forward to the Defenders.
Hopefully they keep Punisher as a separate thing. He's a boring character and I'm not really interested in seeing more of him.
Really? I thought Bernthal killed it. The graveyard scene was Oscar worthy.Imo this one was better than Luke Cage and Jessica Jones and I enjoyed both those.

I'm talking about the character himself. There's nothing interesting about the Punisher.Really? I thought Bernthal killed it. The graveyard scene was Oscar worthy.
I almost gave up on Jessiica Jones but stuck w/it just cause and am glad I did. While I rank it under DD/LC, the portrayal of the villian was very enjoyable to watch. Once he became more involved the show took a jump up imo. Just a thought.I felt cage lost some steam towards the end but I still enjoyed it. I never finished Jessica jones. I've got about 3 episodes left but kind of got sick of it. Loved both seasons of daredevil though.
Surely not. I'm through with it now and remained quite disappointed.Iron Fist was surely better than [..]
What did carry it here though?and the villain carried the whole series in the latter case.
Oh I agree on Killgrave being massive for JJ.Kilgrave's dialogue carried Jessica Jones from start to finish. He was the most lovable villain since Tim Robbins in Arlington Road.
God damn Arlington road was a good movie.Iron Fist was surely better than Luke Cage, and arguably better then Jessica Jones, and the villain carried the whole series in the latter case.
I feel that way about the entire Netflix MCU. Worse than comics.I did not even finish the first Jessica Jones episode. Unlikable character and cliche character. I did not get into it.
It had to grow on me. Still prefer the comics over the movies and TV series.I feel that way about the entire Netflix MCU. Worse than comics.
My ranking isA few episodes in with Iron Fist, not bad so far.
Much better than Jessica Jones. As were Daredevil and Luke Cage.
Punisher should outshine them all.
Wow. I thought that one was the best. It was a superhero series for people who dont give a shit about super heroes. More a commentary on mens physical control over women and others...I did not even finish the first Jessica Jones episode. Unlikable character and cliche character. I did not get into it.
I may return to that show, but there's so much things to watch, I doubt I'll get to it anytime soon.Wow. I thought that one was the best. It was a superhero series for people who dont give a shit about super heroes. More a commentary on mens physical control over women and others...
I would recommend sticking with it, Kilgrave is the up there asone of the best bad guys going in TV. Ironically behind Wilson Fisk who was also legitimately awesome.
Also, Moriaty in the Sherlock series. Love it or hate it his character is brilliantly polarising and dark, even if it comes over as camp. I thought he was legit creeepy.
I hope so. But the show was not great.Exactly. Victim mentality is at all time high.
The more you know...
Haven't watched it yet, will they eventually come together as a team in the series?
I think most of these type of series do not live up to their comics origins.I hope so. But the show was not great.
Just read some synopsis beforehand then, no need to force yourself to watch a show.I've watched a couple and while I'm not really enjoying it I'll persevere because The Defenders is out on August 18th. Going to be a slog, methinks.
