I don't know what else to say....Punisher season two is a perfect example of taking a great concept and ruining it.
This season should have been four episodes.
End of discussion.
It's entierly filler. And this is what a majority of Netflix shows, not just marvel shows, suffer from. Stranger things. black mirror and from the most recent trailer Umbrella Academy.
Netflix seems hell-bent on signing properties to a number of episodes they can't fulfill.
Shity writing and poor characterizations aside.
My issues with punisher are more about Netflixes approach to producing a show then the story.
Which is also garbage.
Of the 13 episodes, 4 are watchable. You can omit the rest, cut down the 4 episodes from the beginning and end and have a solid Netflix film. This is not the fault of the show but Netflixes approche to the production of series and its fear of competing with larger enterprises.
Overall punisher was a letdown of a series.
Perfect casting teased in Daredevil S2 and never paid off.
A perfect personification of embracing who the Punisher is in S1 opening, abandoning that, spending the rest of the 13 episodes trying to humanize him by having him fix wymans sinks.
S2 is no better. Afraid to embrace him till the end in an effort to not blow their load when it was obvious the show would be canned.
Pun S2 should have been a mafia murdering gorefest from episode 1-13. Like the opening of Deadpool 2 spread over 13 episodes....
LIKE A PUNISHER BOOK!
instead, we get more of "Frank helps wyamnz" them trying to humanize a frankestinian killing machine.
And only in the last episodes letting frank touch on embracing what he is supposed to be.
My criticism can be summed up in one statement
Why did frank even put on the vest with a skull on it?
IT means nothing to him. its just a moment for fanboys to fapulate too.
as a reward for sitting through filler.
You knew this was the last season. Why not have it start out strong with Frank, who we had developed as wrestling with BEING THE PUNISHER, in S1 just outright embrace it all of S2 and let us enjoy our good old power fantasy?
Instead, we got a toothy blow job as a good bye.
I'm not gonna go too deep into justifying this.
I grew up reading War Journal.
Punisher S1 and S2 were shit.
If you liked them, your taste is in your ass.
Fight me.
Automatuantaun1 on twitter,
This show was an abomination to the legacy of Frank Castle. Perfect casting. Absolute shit writing.
90 % frank crying about how hard it is being frank, 5 % helping strange Wyman, 5% being Punisher.
thank god they aborted this stillbirth.
I am eager to see what Disney will do with this property and if its nothing I will be happy to let it lay in the dustbins of history where it will gain cult status rather then have pop culture rape its corps.
