Just started. Costume looks good, fights look amazing, and Punisher is a villain. Three check boxes ticked for me.

So was the stairwell fight supposed to be Hallway fight pt 2? because that poo poo was bonkers :black101:

Show hit the ground running, and isn't letting up at all.

Man, they weren't kidding with this season being gory. Between Frank's cell block tango and the human blood bags, this was straight hosed up. But awesome. :stare:

I loved the way they revealed the Punisher logo. gently caress yeah!

People on this page need to remember to add episode numbers to their spoiler tags.

2x09

This is just getting ridiculous with how much they're packing into each episode now. I'm finding Elektra to be the most interesting part of the show, while the Punisher is a step beyond Matt I think she's a much better mirror to Matt's internal struggle between light and dark.

Yeah, I agree. That monologue was amazing.

The first four episodes are near perfection as far as telling a great story. Also provides a natural ending point for tonight.

I stopped after 4 as well and it's basically a really good standalone set. The guy playing the Punisher is really, really good and I hope he doesn't get killed off because a spin off show or movie with him would definitely be worth watching.

I think Jessica Jones still reigns supreme in terms of critical approval especially for its depiction of abuse and trauma but this second season is undoubtedly the best 'superhero' series/movie in the MCU so far.

From the first four episodes,

Hallway part 2: The stairway and the conversation between Matt and Frank on the rooftop and at the cemetery are the best things so far.

Matt just settling in and chilling out on the grass was just :3:

Just finished 2-01. Jesus you guys move fast.

If I have one problem with the show so far it's that the suit still makes Daredevil look a little bulky and less ninja-y. You can tell it's slowing him down. Still enjoyed the Punisher fight at the end. They didn't waste any time making him look like an utter loving monster.

I love all of the Marvel movies but drat the quality of the Netflix stuff is leagues above most of them. Luke Cage is gonna rule so loving hard. Also for those who have seen it most of the way through, is this Punisher worthy of his own show?

Marvel and Netflix execs seem to think so, there's been talk of a Punisher spin-off series.

I am not a huge Punisher fan, but I would definitely watch a show based on this version of him.

I'm surprised by just how graphic his scenes have been so far.

2x01 Goddamn that was a amazing first episode. I love them making the Punisher like some horror movie monster, that was great. I also loved the fight at the end with him just barely getting the drop on Matt. It also sets the limits that no Matt is not invulnerable

THAT loving FIGHT SCENE. Cox wasn't lying about that being that Season 1 fight on crack. :stare:

Preview clip of a Yakuza fight.

It's...uh...it's not that good? :sweatdrop: I feel like portions of it got cut out or something. I dunno. Is it the choreography itself? Something seems off about it.


tooterfish posted:

No, I feel you. The cadence seems off, and the hits lack impact.

Not a patch on the original season's fight choreography IMO.

This new choreography is a bit, dare I say it, Joss Whedony. Lots of lovely low impact backfists and other various spinny poo poo, absolutely zero footwork (Daredevil is seriously off balance for a lot of the fight), and landed but blocked blows don't seem to have any affect on either of the protagonists. It just doesn't look right.

Hi. I just watched episode 3. Whaddya say now chuckles? :colbert:

I dunno what those people are saying. I think everything is much smoother this season. Better pacing overall, incredible cast, and solid action throughout. Everything ties together quite nicely, though, season-wide, Punisher and Elektra's storylines do seem pretty separate from each other where I thought they would connect somehow. Still, they are both very engaging once they get going.

Season 2 Episode 3 Wow this is so much better than the version of the comic they borrowed it from. This was from a issue of The Punisher that had him do the same thing to Matt. Tied up with a gun and being forced to kill him.
