In a move that should be considered expected at this point due to the hype around the character and the Netflix Marvel series, a series based on The Punisher staring Jon Bernthal is now in development. I can't say I'm surprised, and given the writing abilities of those involved in the Netflix series I'm looking forward to this.

Apparently from the early reviews of the first 2 episodes given to critics. He's freakin' awesome. So that's good news.

We're going to come to a point where we can't tell one comic book superhero TV show from another. And that's fine. The quicker this whole thing peaks the better.

 

[TakerFoxx]

Bitching. About time the big guy got a good adaptation.

As long as it is as brutal and uncompromising as the character, I'm in. That said I'd be happy with Thomas Jane returning to the Punisher role if this is anything to go by:

God I love that short...I really hope he gets at least some kind of role on this new series, guy may have had one of the less praised Marvel films, but he did do alot of good with giving the Punisher a bit more humanity than alot of the comics around the time.

Also, hopefully they'll get the main character writer of Daredevil instead of Jessica Jones for this one. It'd be a shame to have a character that has more than a bit of depth be the least intriguing character in every scene while taking up so much of the time of each episode again...

I'm curious which one of the two punisher they going to go for. Is it going to be regular old vigilante punisher( pretty much generic action movie character like dirty Harry, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Liam Neeson) or are they going to the Garth Ennis interpretation of him being a brutal monster who only kills bad people for his own pleasure and no one else.

it will be really interesting for what they go with.

Every party needs a pooper that's why we invited you...party pooper. Seriously, the Netflix series are vastly different than the films.

OT: I'm excited for this.

Yeah its very hard to tell the difference between a man in a rubber suit who can run fast and the one who kills criminals with conventional weapons whos also wearing a Skull T shirt

I'm sure your mind is made up already but, the Punisher isn't a superhero. He has no powers, no tech, just guns which he uses to kill people. He is a vigilante. A true anti-hero. The best Punisher stories are set in a world without Superheroes. Just a one man war against crime.

There are a lot of Superhero tv shows at the moment. But you know the good thing? You can pick and choose what you watch. I watch Daredevil and Jessica Jone because they're really good (being realised whole season at a time also helps). I'm still watching Arrow and Flash because they're dumb fun. I tried Agents of Shield, Powers, Gotham, Supergirl etc. Not interested.

Seriously, apples are vastly different from apples.

Still one can appreciate a perfectly grown and ripened fresh apple with the just the right amount of crunch. Compared to a moldy worm-bitten apple that is mushy and tart.

I had to check this wasn't a necroed thread. Like, okay, yes, this is coming out. I'm also not surprised, mostly because it was announced last year and the actor was already revealed and he's in the first two episodes of season two of Daredevil, and the Escapist already reported with photos of the two interacting, and there was that Daredevil trailer featuring him....

So I mean, yeah, I guess I still think it's a good move to put this on Netflix rather than trying to make a movie.

Hmmm, came into the thread hoping it'd be Thomas Jane since he did a real good job with the movie. I'll give the new guy a chance though.

Personally, I was hoping for Dolph Lund...

Possibly some day in the future, but at this point? If you can't tell Constantine from Daredevil, I'm not sure what to tell you. Even Jessica Jones and Daredevil are largely thematically different, despite both being dark Marvel shows.

As for it peaking? I'm going to continue to enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Oh, I don't know. All those Marvel heroes are starting to look the same now. We've got the safe, sanitary heroes for the films, and the edgelord ones for netflix. I can't really blame Novgorod for feeling jaded about the whole thing. I personally think Marvel has had more of a negative impact on hollywood then a positive one anyway. The sooner we pass over this phase, the happier I'll be.

Well if you group them like that then of course they sound the same, its like police procedures some of them are goofy and some of them are serious and by the book.

You get a C- in sarcasm. You're not looking past the fluff.
What's hard is telling the difference between the guy that fights crime and the other guy that fights crime.

You just describe action movies/shows in general or hell even police procedural. Like the only difference between Charles Bronson in Death Wish and the Punisher is that the latter wears a skull T shirt. Hell in almost every famous action show/movie you can find a scenario similer to that of a superhero book. Hell compare Days of Future Past to the Terminator series

Hell the villian Arcade is pretty much Superheroes meets Saw

 

[Chaos Isaac]

Man. It's unfortunate they aren't use a good character.

 

[Loonyyy]

Didn't we already know about this? Wasn't he in the Daredevil S2 tailer or something?

Its been known for some time that he was going to be a part of DareDevil's second season, but the fact he's getting his own show is new.

Maybe I should've gone with "super-powered comic book badass vigilante"? By your retort, the only thing that tells one character from the other is their gimmick and the color of their suit.
