I'm one of the people that just has never liked the Punisher. Not since first appearance. I've read the Miller run and I just can't stand the guy. I'm a huge Daredevil fan too. And I agree completely that without the Purple Man you can't tell JJ's story. I slogged through Alias because I really liked JJ but any time Kilgrave was in the scene it took a lot of work to get through. I still think it's a fantastic series though.

Punisher will be more of a villain than an antihero in this story I think. I think he works fine as a villain. But agreed on Purple Man. Hi my super power is rape and I'm gonna say bitch and slut and whore a lot because this is a serious comic for grown ups. This is mature subject matter.

I do agree that if you are an abuse survivor that you should be careful about watching the show. But i bet there are a ton of thinkpieces about portrayals of sexual and psychological abuse in media written with regard to JJ as the show gets closer so hopefully potential viewers will know what's coming.

The rights for The Woods have been picked up for TV. Things like this happen all the time and nothing ever comes of it so it's not really a big deal, but in this case I really like the book and think it would make for a really neat TV show. It starts off with an entire school being transported to another galaxy and from there it gets kind of crazy as it goes on but it could definitely work on TV. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/boom-comic-woods-heading-television-830847

Well, Jessica herself also confronts all of that poo poo and comes out a better person. So it's not like she's going to be treated as a sensitive flower who is saved by a man.

It's supposed to be hosed up. Purple Man is a petty self-involved rapist who takes the agency away from his victims in order to titillate his ego. A side-effect of having a character like that is that there may be rape/trauma survivors who find his actions to be overwhelmingly distressing. I thought the Wilson Fisk's father abusing him in the flashback sequences was rather horrific, but it was in service to the plot and seemed like it was handled appropriately and honestly. I'd hope that the showrunners have a similar approach to Killgrave's actions and role in the story.

I really hope that they take some stuff from Nacinti's run, such as Typhoid Mary in future DD episodes. If only because that was the first DD I ever read and it really stuck with me, plus I honestly think its as good as Miller's run but gets massively overlooked.

Purple man was a fun villain before Bendis turned him into Rape Man. It's not quite as ridiculous as what happened to Dr. Light over at DC, but you can't really ever tell a story about Purple Man where he isn't a horrifying monster ever again.

He was basically just a bank robber, go in, ask for money, walk out, make the cops and citizens fight Daredevil or Spider-Man while he tried to escape, and get caught.

You know I don't think he ever even killed anybody before Bendis mature ratings him into making a restaurant stop breathing.

Bendis didn't invent that aspect of him, he forced a woman to be his wife and had a daughter because of that long before Alias.

What ever happened to the Purple Girl, anyway? All I remember is she did the same thing except it turned people purple too, and that she had endearingly ridiculous late 80s fashion stylings like something out of Mannequin.

Barry Convex posted:Why is there a sign *in the window* saying it's on the fifth floor, though? Sorry if this has been answered already, but it's not uncommon for non-ground-level businesses to put little signs like that in their windows, so that people on the street see that there are, in fact, walk-in businesses on the upper levels of a building. I'll post some pictures if I see any walking around.

I think it's both creepy and weird for people in law enforcement to admire a vigilante murderer character, and it's even creepier for anyone involved in the creative process of that character to reciprocate. The military aspect is slightly less creepy, but considering how that stupid logo has become associated with right wing hero and child murderer Chris Kyle, it's not something I'm too happy seeing an actor acknowledge at all.

Punisher is always a character than can very uncomfortably come close to being a weird/horrible right wing fantasy. I hope the writers are smart enough to portray him in a way that is sensible and responsible, especially since they had no problem portraying the NYPD as being filled with dirty cops.

Bryan Cranston also said in the interviews that he was on Walter White's side, it is a good thing when actor goes into his character. Punisher is a hero to cops and soldiers, but you shouldn't blame comics or movies for it.

No, because Walter White considered himself morally superior to other drug manufacturers. Misguided unconditional respect to the law enforcement and military is the crucial part of The Punisher.

Tangent but it was pretty funny how every actor on Breaking Bad had identical views with their characters regarding Walt, with Bryan Cranston rooting for him till the very end like mentioned earlier and Dean Norris and Jonathan Banks absolutely hating him to impressive levels. mycot fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Oct 11, 2015 |

Rich Johnston is continuing on his quest to portray Feige as a fascist tyrant and is claiming that Marvel Studios is interfering with Iron Fist and it might get cancelled just like Inhumans (which isn't cancelled) to spite poor victim Ike Perlmutter.
