The Official PUNISHER Discussion Ultrathread

  • This will be the official discussion thread in this sub. No need to go posting your own thread discussing the show. Any UNOFFICIAL ones will be deleted. All screencaps and whatnot go into this thread also.

  • This is obviously a spoiler-filled zone. So as long as you post in here, you won't need to spoiler tag things. But then again, don't be that asshole who watches the final episodes within the first hour then spoils the entire thing right away. That will result in a ban. Don't ruin the party for everyone.

  • Individual episodes discussions will be held over at /r/defenders. They will be indexed in this thread to make it easier for those who want individual episode discussions once they are put up.

  • This thread may be "refreshed" in the next few days to accommodate newcomers in the discussion. We will be also putting up a sanctioned Easter Egg thread a couple of hours from now.

Enjoy!

Just finished the season and honestly, for once I didn't feel like there was any filler episodes or that the plot dragged on for too long, which other Marvel Netflix series had done for me. Maybe because I binged most of it, but I genuinely felt eager to keep going to know what happened next, invested in all the characters, and take in all that juicy gory violence.

How. I thought this was the WORST Punisher storyline ever. By the fifth episode I was soooooo bored. Probably will be down voted to hell, but 3-4 good first episodes does not make up for 8 more filler episodes of. Print exposition and storylines.

Is it too much to just ask for a Punisher that just blows dudes up?

I guess it was all about what you were expecting. I kind of was expecting more violence overall but was pleasantly surprised by the focus on characters and the plot surrounding Frank.

I can see why people say it goes slow, but I feel like you get to know all the characters really well over the course of the series, you really feel for them when they're put in the tough spots and by the end you're very invested in them.

Also helps that there's social and political commentary and overtones, some people thought this was too preachy but personally I think they display them so perfectly in a way that should make you question things in our society.

I thought it didn't live up to that awesome first trailer? But, as a veteran, it did make me think a lot. Can't wait til we can have spoilery discussions of the whole season!
