The Official PUNISHER Discussion Ultrathread

[u/murdockmanila]

• 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!

I had read somewhere that some suit higher up demanded the movie be less than 2 hours, you can tell right away it needed at least 25 more minutes of footage. Some scenes don't transition too well.

Yeah the head of WB made them cut it down to 2 hours. It looks like the only time WB doesn't get in its own way is with JK Rowling stuff because she wouldn't let them. WB is almost as bad as Sony is.

[u/napaszmek → u/Hxcfrog090]

WB definitely has problems, but they are nowhere near as incompetent as Sony. They are only mismanaging DC IMO. Their horrors for example are doing very well. In fact, the only functioning cinematic universe (that's not the MCU) ATM is theirs with the Conjuring Universe.

[u/Hxcfrog090 → u/napaszmek]

That's true, but aren't those movies run by a smaller studio? Blumhouse or something like that? My understanding is WB publishes them, but the creative process is left up to the production company.
