Holy shit it has been over a year since he died. This shit had been in development hell for so long. I don't think Writer's Guild Strike bs is all to blame here.
Yeah it’s horrible to see. How they got rid of the skull and guns in the comics.
He’s just towing the Hollyweird line.
Jon Bernthal? He looks nothing like Rekieta lmao.
they both have large noses and act like badasses who can fight anyone despite being trust fund guys, his "burn local" podcast has him acting like he's a real life badass.
We are never having characters that look like their original versions.
Can't echo it enough, Ray Stevenson's version is more or less a very accurate look (minus the faded skull on his chest) of Frank Castle and in terms of origins (a decorated soldier with his wife, son and daughter gunned down in a park by a mafia group for accidentally witnessing a mafia execution). Too bad the film crashed and burned hard.
I'm not going to call it complete shit, but see my earlier comment.
Some things are inaccurate like the family being killed at a family reunion and it taking place in Florida instead of Central Park and NYC respectively but Jane himself looks the best as the character and the action is good.
Yup although the only slight nitpick I have for Kevin Nash's version of the Russian is that he's silent most of the time while the comics version has him talking like a lovable goofball despite his strength.
The current Marvel run is shit. You feed that shit to the young generation and the people that don't know any better and there's a good chance that they will think that the old Marvel media stinks.
Wonder how he managed to trick Matts senses then
Can't believe I've never seen that before. I still remember watching Jane's version of the Punisher as a kid and absolutely loving it. Was also my introduction to Mark Collie's music which was cool. First time I watched Warzone I didn't enjoy it because it was a little too cheesey, but I've seen it a few other times since getting older and learning to appreciate a bit of cheese and it's much better than I originally remembered.
I remember buying the DVD copy of the 2004 version, still stored with the rest of my very limited DVD collection. Punisher Warzone tried to translate the over-the-top violence of the comics version into the big screen with mixed results and it's not surprising why it didn't fare better than the more-grounded 2004 version at first. I do like the 2008's version of Microchip though since he never betrayed Frank throughout the movie and for some reason, the movie made Tiberiu Bulat more human who's willing to avenge his son unlike in the comics where he is a genocidal war-freak, despised niggers in general and eventually tried to kill his son for betraying him.
I heard people shitting on it on release and for years. Then I heard absolutely nothing about it for years (incidentally, the Stevenson movie was in general called stupid but fun), and only recently, in the grand scheme of things, have I heard people praise it.
