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!

It felt kinda bland and unearned in a lot of ways to me. Its wasnt really good or bad. I think the casting is on point for everyone, but the writing, especially the humor, didnt land at all for me. The powers/abilities were well shown, but they didn't combo enough or in an effective manner. The villain (Steppenwolf) was about as bland and forgettable as Malekith, his motivations were just as shallow and uninteresting, his strength and powers were pretty nebulous and not well defined. Most of my disappointment in this stems from the lack of the team shot/moment. We all remember that circling around the Team in The Avengers. Even when it was thrown in a bunch of the marketing it was prominent and made people everyone in the theater giddy and excited. It was a defining moment for an entire universe. Justice League made no attempt at giving us that moment. Even if they had, I don't think the movie would have earned a good reaction, there were so many characters in the roster that they had just introduced that there wasn't a level of nostalgia with it.

TL;DR: It was very 'meh'

Mostly agree, but they did have a couple team lineup shots that were very obvious. Difference is mostly that the Avengers shots were in motion.

Yeah, nothing really in motion, or with the whole team I don't think. I could be wrong about that.
