Well, what's the endgame if it's Frank?

(1) Matt kills Frank - Nope (Frank is getting his own show)
(2) Matt puts Frank in jail - Nope (Frank is getting his own show)
(3) Matt convinces Frank not to kill people anymore - Nope (He would stop being the Punisher)
(4) Matt convinces Frank to leave NYC and continue his reign of terror elsewhere - not much of an ending.

So clearly there's a big bad guy we haven't seen yet. Like Doomsday in Dawn of Justice.

Has that actually been confirmed or is that nerd speculation at this point? I'd love to see the three of them team up to take someone down in the finale but I don't get the impression that's the story they're telling based on the marketing so far. Like, I'm assuming the Punisher lives to Punish another day, but as far as I knew the only confirmed series at this point were DD, JJ, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders. And even that seems a little bloated without giving Frank a show also.

Isn't there a mystery man with a line in the trailer who is leading The Hand ninjas?

Frank getting a show is confirmed.

Huh, that's cool I guess. Considering how dark the other shows have been, I'm not sure it's going to be watchable without intravenous SSRIs, but I'm certainly interested.

Punisher starting his own show with a prison arc would be the best way for his spin-off to begin.

4 episodes deep on my S1 rewatch and god drat this show holds up well to scrutiny on repeat viewings. The cast, all of them, are just so right in their roles.

Circle of Blood starts with Frank breaking out of prison, so if they do an adaptation of that, it would totally work.

Alternately Frank could escape Matt and we could leave New York for a bit. Not likely to happen but possible.

5) punisher wins, DD retires in shame until the gang needs him in the group series.

If Punisher's jailbreak accidentally allowed Kingpin to escape as well that would be pretty awesome.

There is a Punisher story where he escapes from Jail and teams up with Luke Cage. I bet that would be a great season.

Alternatively, season 2 ends with Daredevil and Punisher both in jail just as Kingpin gets out.

It's also simply one of the stronger examples of well-executed paradigm shifts in all of film. It's beautifully done, as each horror emotionally disarms the viewer.



Like were people who don't like the second half expecting something like the Heartbreak Ridge movie where Joker and Cowboy would go to Vietnam together and successfully complete a kick rear end mission while earning love and respect from a freshly recovered from his gunshot wound to the chest, tougher-than-nails R Lee Ermey commanding them in the field.

It's a character from the comics called Stone or Granite or Diamond or something else equally unimaginative. Also there was a comic book panel to go with it that the show copied.

Any reason to expect him to be involved in this season? I don't know anything about Stick, but I'm assuming whatever group he's with is fighting the Hand?

Aphrodite

His group is called the Chaste, they're the good ninjas (though they're still dicks) to the Hand's bad ninjas.

They might appear because Elektra is connected to that stuff too, and we don't know if Punisher is the entire season.

I think the second trailer pretty much confirms that Punisher isn't the whole series. Especially since it contains Stick and The Hand in it.

Yeah, when Leland keeps suggesting that it was the Japanese who tried to poison Fisk, Fisk dismisses it, saying that they got their land, so they should be content.
