Punisher in the tv series doesn’t kill his victims as creatively as he does in the comics
The TV version ending was hard to watch. The scream still haunts me eugh
This is not a good portrayal of The Punisher. John Bernthal is a very good actor but he is not Frank Castle, if you want to see the real Frank Castle go watch Thomas Jane.
Why does the punisher look like my 3rd grade gym teacher
He's also not nearly as ruthless as he was in the comics.
Well, i still like The punisher and this series was great
Anyone else realise alot of the changes the Netflix series made are improvements over the original comics?
40 Years! Whoa!
Hope to God The Punisher gets Season 2
im still trying to figure out how frank can suddenly be a free man with a name change when his ass had his face plastered everywhere as a terrorist i guess the hipster hair will have to make a comeback in s2
Episode 10 alone proves Bernthal's better than all the past 3 punishers together X-)
Tv series sucks so bad. Movie and comic versions are better
I'm just here patiently waiting for the return of kingpin! The actor playing him was born for that role
comics > tv
Deadpool , The Punisher and Ghost Rider are Anti-Heroes.
I actually love both version of them. Specially the Netflix series. It makes him human
Best Netflix original series
You forgot one: The Punisher doesn't care about hostages. In The Punisher vol 1 #1 a mafia don had a gun to a warden's head threatening to kill him. Frank's literal words were "He dies, you die. There's symmetry in that."
I don't think Madani was in he comics
People who claim that Jon Bernthal is the best on screen Punisher do not read the comics and are probably only aware of The Punisher through videos, forums, and art
The punishers morality for enemies,the pinishers weaponry,the punishers storline,and the show punisher had way too much talking instead of how its supposed to be
The difference is that punisher comics are not shit like the show
The only good show punisher is from the first and second dare devil season
I will all ways see him as Shane
The arrow and the dare devil series are best with drama
I kinda hope they don’t do the crossovers. This is really good on its own and I think it would get watered down if the did a crossover with Spider-Man
This show is badass
The series tv version is just shittier. The comic version is better and without Anti-governmental bullshit.
spider kid can't fit with the Punisher
Would he become a super hero in the later seasons?
Owe pass carbon wake observation narrative spending smoke script permanent.
How ironic I finished Punisher on Netflix today
Wayne Knight in punisher war zone was a far superior Micro.
Is That Shane?!
netflix punisher sucked
Freaking awesome comic book character, and TV series
pls stop saying "great content".it just makes people hate you.
One batch.
Two batch.
Penny and dime.
Gotta love this series & cant wait 4 season 2…
I can’t help but think of Shane of the walking dead when I see the punisher
i loved the tv show! i think it was the best from all the marvel netflix shows.
T H E M O T H E R F U C K I N G P U N I S H E R
those are the reasons i don't like the series but he obviously won't be a vietnam veteran ever again that version of him is dead forever now there's a prequel called "Punisher – The Platoon"
