Beast was a HORRIBLE SCARRED dude on that cw show a few years back, and by horribly scared I mean he had like, a facial scar. Never watched it but always wondered what the gently caress was up with that. It's not even "beastly" scarring where you'd say he's disfigured.

There is also "Beastly", where he looks like this:

IIRC animated movies are a little different which is how Wonder Park got released with no credited director.

In that case, nobody on the team wanted their name listed after they fired the original director because it was so bad they thought it would hurt their careers.

Baron von Eevl posted:

What would that mean then if there were two credited directors and one credited co-director? Is that broken up by how much of the run-time was produced with them at the helm? The amount of pre-production work they put in? I've never heard of two people credited as "directed by" and one credited as "co-director."

So it turns out animation is specifically excluded from DGA, so I guess it is possible they can just do whatever after all.

That's how Wonder Park was able to have none too, since the DGA requires a listed director no matter what (and that's why Alan Smithee was a thing.)

My gf watches a YouTube vid every night as she goes to bed, and this one is on her rotation. I must've listened to this thing a few dozen times. I have never seen it and actually that post with the guy's face on it is the first time I've even seen what the 'beast' aka Kyle looks like.

Good vid though, recommended watch.

Yeah, that was the silliest thing. The character's whole thing is that he wears a mask cause he's supposedly so badly scarred and hideous. Then you actually see him and he's basically just a guy that you'd barely look twice at. Hell, you could just throw some concealer on there and they'd be invisible:





Yeah that was laughable. Only thing I could think of was that maybe since the actor is pretty good looking that he had it in his contract to not look too hideous or the studio thought it would hurt ratings somehow. Dude is supposed to be this abhorrent looking monster and even with the scars, he's more handsome than I am and also 90% of guys on the street.

Maybe the angle was that he was such a narcissist that, in his mind, his face looked like it'd been run through a mulcher but Punisher S2 sucked so bad I never found out if this was the case. S1 was awesome.

There's a version of Dr Doom who hosed himself due to this exact thing. He was mildly disfigured, just a few small scars, but because he was such a narcissistic drama queen he forged himself a mask to hide his face. however, because he was impatient he didn't let it cool completely, so as soon as he put it on it burned his face off so he's genuinely now as hideous as he'd imagined himself to be.

I love the fact that the equivalent of the curse for the Beast's "servants" (aka being turned into animated furniture and accessories) in Beastly is A) being blind and B) not having green cards for her kids. Which can only be solved by magic and not by the ludicrous wealth Kyle's family has.

Nono, everyone is completely freaked out by his appearance (and there is a mandatory LOOK AT MY, I'M A MONSTER reveal); it was something out of a comedy sketch. This scene is 95% of what was good in Punisher S2 though:

Meanwhile in the warzone movie they actually went hard and gave the same character a look that actually fits the concept:



Punisher War zone is the best comic book movie ever made. Fire Paul Feige and replace him with Lexi Alexander.

Punisher chat reminded me of an IIMM in the first season. Theres a scene where some criminals are killing a guy by burying him in concrete because, for some reason, theres just yards and yards of hot concrete ready to go but no workers on site. Also, no rebar reinforcement cage, just a 10ft deep pit full of concrete. The overall laziness around construction in media is kind of a general IIMM of mine since movie and TV writers have never worked a day in their lives and so of course they think nail guns work like machine pistols and theres always like ten guys breaking concrete with jackhammers all day.

I have to think it was something like that but that's kind of dumb. A lot of actors have delivered memorable performances covered in makeup or being unrecognizable (especially in comic book movies) and it's not like the show made a point of holding back on overly graphic violence either. So if you're gonna shred a guy's face and make it THE central element of his character, then maybe shred his actual face is all I'm saying.


2:10 time stamp and all I could think of was:

I watched that clip and my IIMM with Punisher is the super human amount of punishment that Frank can withstand.

Motherfucker has a Wolverine healing factor and it bugs me because you can still show him taking shots and getting his rear end hosed up but maybe mix in a little more combat training where he fights defensively and avoids a lot of those incoming attacks. Or a little more body armor even. The amount of rear end whipping he receives in this series would put him in a loving wheelchair and turn him into a drooling invalid.

I know he's a determined bad rear end and a tough guy and all but he's still just a dude.

I've heard it. She's amazing. My favorite part is where she said a producer told her that under no circumstances was she to include any parkour so she created an entirely parkour based gang just to middle finger that guy. And then Frank shoots one of em with a rocket launcher and its the best scene in the movie. Its an absolute crime that Lexi's never made another movie since

All they needed was one scene where he's looking in a mirror and sees his face as royally hosed, and it would have made sense.

Season 2 of the punisher was kinda just hot garbage though. The first wasn't fantastic but the second, hooboy. Honestly the only Netflix show to have a good second season was Luke Cage. Daredevil went from "man Matt is kind of a dick" to "Matt is absolutely a dick". I couldn't make it past the first 20 mins of s2 of iron fist. I barely watched s2 of Jessica Jones as well.

Punisher War Zone is amazing. I love when the surgeon is listing poo poo he used to patch jigsaw's face and mentioned naugahyde and horse hair.

It's really astonishing that ANYBODY manages to make a decent Punisher movie or TV show, the whole concept is so painfully dated and based on creepy 70's crazy-assed fear and racism. War Zone wins by leaning into the utter craziness, and having Frank played by a giant old queen* that's carrying so much crap that he literally clanks when he walks. The TV show, uh, having the actor talk about how important the character is to cops makes it a bit less fun that in should be, and having him being, uh 'height-challenged' makes some of the fight scenes not play as well as one would hope.

In The Mask of Zorro, there's a part where Anthony Hopkins is teaching Antonio Banderas how to sword fight. He catches his sword and pulls out a hidden knife and says "Lesson 1, never attack in anger." Except this happens at the end of the training montage. We've been watching Banderas undergo a series of lessons for like ten minutes. What the gently caress was all that other stuff if the last thing is 'lesson one'?

Season two of The Punisher had some marketing where they framed the bad guys as an alt-right cult, and how cool it would be to see the Punisher take them on, but then did a bunch of weird waffling on it and I'm not sure what it was supposed to be. Pilgrim's crew seemed cultish at first, but were just mercs, I think. He was ex-Aryan Brotherhood, and finding religion was how he got out. He lived in some kind of religious community, but they seemed mostly nice? He's doing his dirty work to pay for his wife's medical care, and his employers have his kids in their custody and are ever-so-slightly threatening abou tit, but acts like it's a righteous crusade. The whole thing is to cover up the gay affair of the heir to a political dynasty, but the heir is a perfectly nice guy who had no idea his parents were having people murked.

They tried, clumsily and equivocatingly, to say something about the excesses of the War on Terror and avoid making the show a power fantasy about mass murdering criminals. Then they end the show with him walking up to a meeting of the most stereotypical gang bangers you've ever seen and unloading two assault rifles while yelling.

Should have taken a page from Garth Ennis' take on the character and have Frank end up gunning down egregious examples of the military industrial complex, since they are what really hosed up his life.

Honestly, an adaptation of Punisher MAX that takes Ennis' run and then end it on Jason Aron's run would be amazing. Also the only take on the character that has actual depth.

It was very much a child of the Bush-era, but its concept holds up. Frank isn't some cool vigilante, he's America's foreign policy accidentally released on itself. Characters are both horrified and in awe of Frank, because he's what would happen if Rambo at the end of First Blood would have just taken a new target and stayed on his rampage.

Billy's gang is the white homegrown terrorist group, they even call their club Valhalla. Not that there is any real alt-right vibes to them, they are portrayed as badass disenfranchised ex military instead of extremely online incels.

EDIT: now that I think about it, the real alt-right character is the dude with ptsd that ends up bombing that local government building. He fits the stereotype to a T, down to being radicalized by a dude spewing Alex Jones level conspiracies.
