DEATH WISH AT 120 DECIBELS

Deadpool posted:

They've had a couple female characters in that role before. It's been fine, but there's no substitute for Frank Castle.

I don't know, it would be nice for Marvel to have more movies or shows featuring heroes who are buff white dudes.

And Punisher would be one of the easiest ones for them to gender switch. Rachel Alves played by Jessica Chastain would be really sweet, actually.

Honestly I was worried this would be a bit lower quality for some reason, but two episodes in an I'm hooked. Holy balls is this show well done.

Ep 1-2

The flashbacks to Matt as a kid are great. Poor Jack

So, I just hit the first bump. That entire dialog between Fisk and Matt was cliche central and not a very interesting take on it.

I dunno, I think people like Alves only work when you can say "here's this person, compare them to Frank Castle".

Punisher, as an idea, needs Frank.

Add Dawson to this list. Loving this show a ton right now, only at episode 5, though.

Drew Goddard wrote the pilot and was an executive producer but outside of that I believe he didn't have much to do with it. He had to step away to prep a Spider-Man spinoff movie that never materialized. Yes, he set up the tone with the pilot but pretty much the rest of the show was under DeKnight.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. He wrote the first two episodes - which are, of the eight i've seen, the best - and established the tone and future direction of the show, then DeKnight came in and added all the bowling balls to the face. DeKnight's done a great job so far of running with it, I'm just worried about what happens if there is a season two that he crafts from scratch. He seems to be one of those writers who work best with someone to check them here and there. I'm just being pessimistic though.

Or I dunno, make something with one of the many great female characters they already have. Maybe that's too easy though.

i hate you so much for even proposing this.

the genderswitching idea is silly but that's not what i mean. i really do not understand what hypnosis audiences of "Zero Dark Thirty" underwent to not think that movie was one of the worst things ever but also to think that Jessica Chastain was anything but awful in it.

but that's just, like, my opinion, man.

Can go worse than a distaff version of a white male character created by Rucka. (I like that run on Punisher. Alves' origin is just the right level of melodrama to make a new Punisher)

This show is like Arrow and the Wire made hot TV sex and produced a baby

1x06
The last couple of episodes have been totally enthralling. The comparison being drawn between Murdoch and Fisk is so great. Each man is the flip side of the other, aiming for the same goal for the same reasons with the same emotions but in completely opposite directions. The Russian bombings were totally shocking and all the fallout was brutal.

I can't believe the show got me to cheer for the final stand of a sex trafficking drug dealer :stare:

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I just finished episode 1 and found it very dark. Not in tone (though it is), in visuals. Even the daytime shots seemed to be heavily overcast, and I found myself squinting for the night scenes. It's the same on both my PC and my WiiU. Does it get better later, just something to put up with, or is it actually fine and I need to see an optometrist?

WiiU myself, and yeah, it's fricking dark. I ended up cranking the brightness on my tv a good bit.
