PaybackJack posted:I can't really see it affecting anything too much. Jon Bernthal had a solid performance and did more with the character than the script gave him but it wasn't a break out performance in my book. I certainly can't see anyone picking up a Punisher comic after that as they did nothing to give you an idea of who he fights beyond generic crime groups and what his character conflicts are. There's a guy in the recommendation thread who picked up pretty much every Punisher comic in the MAX imprint after seeing the show. I really liked how that version of the character was slightly dumber, slightly less perfect, and more emotional than the Punisher that's been mostly depicted in Marvel comics. I've gotten super annoyed with the perfect grim specter of death Ennis wrote him as who never makes a mistake and never breaks and is smarter than everyone and always kills the bad guys no matter what. He's still idealized in the sense that he manages to never hit anyone innocent while shooting tons of bad guys in public places, but it's taken down several notches from the most ludicrous comics.

I thought Rucka's run was super boring and Rachel was a weak-rear end character. The best thing she did was get verbally smacked by Daredevil one time.

WickedHate posted:Ennis' Punisher did accidentally kill an innocent girl once when he drugged a bunch of people at a slaver's place and she fell face first into her soup. One time regular Punisher shot up a family having a picnic while trying to kill some mobsters and was like "Oh gently caress! Oh well, poo poo happens." DrProsek posted:I freely admit I have read nothing at all with Punisher and have no idea who Rachel is other than "like Frank but a lady". I'm just saying "misogynistic Punisher fans won't like it" and "female mass murdering psychopath isn't really a great accomplishment for women in comics" aren't great reasons to get rid of the character. This is all true, but demographics-wise, Ennis' Punisher largely appeals to the shittiest kind of redditor you can imagine, so I can see a guy in marketing seeing Rachel as a non-starter.

Daredevil Season 2 Spoilers here: The implication that something was hosed with his deployment is definitely something new, and I thought this particular take on Punisher was more out of control and PTSD-motivated than the versions we usually get.

Ennis still turned Punisher into a nearly infallible badass in a way almost no one prior had. It was nice to see Jason Aaron actually show Frank stumbling. Edmundson's run was just terrifying "Chris Kyle was a hero" poo poo, though.

Wanderer posted:Yeah, I could've not done that. Oh yeah, Frank getting physically hurt totally counteracts Garth Ennis' inability to write him as someone who's ever in the wrong about anything or is ever shown in a position of weakness. My view is "critically indefensible" because I notice things like Frank being immune to torture unlike everyone else in the narrative, or the people he goes up against being largely caricatures of humans beings who more often than not have some kind of sexual perversion to let us know that they're not 'manly' like Frank is. The last arc of Ennis' run was an entire squad of marines being repeatedly defeated by Frank until they realize his position is morally superior to those who want to stop him. My view isn't a "misreading" of the text, it IS the text.

Rhyno posted:The tone of the book is just all over the map and a bit jarring at times. I love how it starts, with Frank using super weapons to knock off the bad guys but then we get into ressurected villains and it sort of makes my head spin. I just finished a re-read early today when I took a break from watching Daredevil. Well it's really obvious he wanted to stay in Frankencastle longer and was kinda forced to undo it asap to make room for the next guy, I wager a lot of the stuff in the book was supposed to go slower than it ended up.

Yeah, Howard Mackie is probably the only writer who's as much of a nadir of Spider-man as Dan Slott is. Which sucks, because some of his issues have amazing John Romita Jr. art.Rhyno posted:Stop when you see the name "John Byrne." He never wrote Amazing, did he?

Rhyno posted:They did completely change Peter's appearance, history and personality to match the film and you think changing who he dates is a bit much? I would put money on the table that that isn't synergy, it's Bendis seeing a rough cut of the movie and deciding he wants to write him without doing any research on the character in the comics.

Kitty Pryde despite not being a sex bomb like some other X-characters was written as the ultimate perfect girlfriend. Whedon and Bendis have openly admitted that she's their comic book mega-crush to this day, and I'm sure many others their age feel the same. Which is dumb because Jubes is where it's at.

Wood was pushing for it to be her biological son at first. I know she's a vampire and she's been around for ages but the character is still a teen, right? That's hosed up, Wood.

The way Ditko originally drew her was pretty strange looking as well, but every female in comics ends up looking like a sexy model over time. Most artists just never learn to draw any other kind of woman.
