I'm 5 episodes in and couldn't disagree more. Episodes 3-5 show the Punisher as some sort of unhinged, emotionally reactionary person. The Punisher I know and love was always, cold, extremely calculating, insular and never let emotions get in the way of the "job." Does Bernthal do a good job at times? Absolutely. Truth be told, what I am critiquing is more on the writers than on him. JMHO. It's the Punisher first starting out. Still totally raw and emotional. This is essentially the Punisher from Ennis' Punisher MAX series, only 15-20 years younger with his families deaths still at the forefront of his mind. Frank Castle without even a hint of an emotional side is nothing more than the Terminator. A totally mindless killing machine. Not sure how you can carry the better part of 13 hours worth of television programming with that. I get that, but I wasn't saying he was emotionless per se, just that he didn't let it dictate what he did or didn't do. This is a job, and he is very, very methodical about that job. The comics do a wonderful job of conveying that internal dialogue, something TV doesn't really lend itself to, but it could've been done a bit just to show the thought process. Again, I get what you're saying, but for many fans who were on board since the limited series in the 80s, it's a huge disappointment.

Again, I get what you're saying, but for many fans who were on board since the limited series in the 80s, it's a huge disappointment. This is basically the transition period. An origin story of the Punisher who is still overly emotional and pissed beyond all hell about the deaths of his family. Running around with a death wish. With Bernthal essentially getting closure from his families deaths at the end of the season (or at least as close as he's ever going to get), you see the point where Frank Castle "dies" and The Punisher is officially born (there's even a nice little Microchip reference to close out the season). My guess is that if he gets his own show or at least makes cameo appearances in Daredevil and future Netflix/Marvel franchises (which I think is a given), you're going to see more of a stoic, all business version of the character who has fully accepted that killing pieces of shit on the streets is now his sole purpose in life and the only thing that keeps him going.

Critics are shitting all over Batman v Superman With Zack Snyder in charge, I'm not surprised. I saw that too, 38% on Rotten Tomatoes. That being said, I'm still going to find a way to watch it this weekend. I've enjoyed season 2 of DD even more than season 1 (which I really liked). I'm up to episode 9.

Knew right then and there that it would be nothing more than a CGI extravaganza with no plot or character development to speak of. And evidently, they've turned Bruce Wayne into Frank Castle because supposedly Affleck is killing dudes left and right. Add that to the fact that they're running with this characterization of Superman being a brooding douchebag, and it's clear that the idiots behind this had no fucking clue what they were doing.

I knew it was gonna be shit when they casted that Soathie Choad. Fuck Affleck. Will not watch.

Kid has made a career out of playing nothing but whiny, timid little pussy characters. I want to dump his books and snatch his fucking lunch money every time I look at him. And THIS is the guy they chose to play Superman's arch nemesis?

I think I'm just going to wait until it hits blu-ray Maybe if it was shorter, it would be different. But I'm not sitting through almost 3 hours of this shit non-stop. Some of the reviews make it sound appallingly bad. Not sure how you completely fuck up a movie with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman when you have a $250 million budget, almost 3 hours of runtime and certainly no shortage of source material. Only Zack Snyder...leave it to that fuckhead and he'll find a way.
