Oh totally. Like I'm not a comic fan at all but that page is still one of my favourite images to pull up when I want to have a laugh.

Does the punisher even have super powers or is he just a strong dude who shoots guns?

Punisher is basically Batman but he uses guns to kill people

no superpowers, but he's got a nerd sidekick that's basically his Q (played by Wayne Knight in Warzone, which is kind of incredible)

and also it's actual New York instead of fictional New York (every comic book city is fake NY to me)

What gets me though everytime is Mcfarlane's monologues at the beginning of every episode.

ahahaha, that's the most "mid-90s HBO" shit I can imagine

you know, I don't like Spawn at all, but I can't act like they haven't done some amazing casting with the adaptations

That's true however, the writing in the Animated Series is done with the right amount of gravitas that does the whole thing justice. Atleast the first two volumes/seasons. The third one is a hit and a miss.


I wouldn't mind jumping in whenever I'm free although I'm in EU so that may cause some problems with lag and shit.

Sweet, deff down. Though I must admit i'm without dinner.

Not sure if the game has issues with groups from different regions.

Since we're on the topic of cartoons/superheroes! I wish more people would watch Gargoyles, it's another one of those "for kids but actually it's more for adults" cartoons with an incredible set of characters and villains. It's also sort of a Star Trek reunion when it comes to the casting. Watch only the first 2 seasons. The 3rd one is a fuckin mess because most if not all of the original writers left.

And also, The Iron Giant. Perhaps one of the most underrated animated films ever made.

You sound pretty into Punisher, particularly how he's more grounded compared to other comic book "heroes." If you haven't you should really read Garth Ennis' Punisher MAX run. It's an undisputed masterpiece.

Gargoyles was one of my favourite cartoons as a kid. Great show.

I rewatched it a few years ago and it held up quite well. Always impressed by how the show did a few part episode focusing on one story arc or when they did a 4 part episode to tell an entire backstory of only two characters. I love when shows or film focus on their characters and all, really helps make the world feel well realized and very memorable.

I wouldn't say I'm that into the Punisher (the game and Warzone is pretty much my entire experience with it), I just prefer criminals being portrayed as monsters and not these goofy dickheads like pretty much every comic book and video game loves to do. Even when someone's reprehensible, it's usually played for laughs (like Trevor in GTA V). It's why I gravitate towards shit like Kane & Lynch 2 even if it's not the best playing thing in the world.

That being said, this seems alright.

All the warnings about the crazy things Dan said on the Beastcast yet the one that got me was his immediate reaction to watching Battle Royale was "is it dubbed?"

Of course I guess that kinda just goes with the cant be arsed to read thing

I only just noticed because I got absorbed by the Twitch anime marathon, sponsored by Crunchyroll.

What I didn't expect was Mary Kish hosting a between-shows panel with some other people, presumably from Crunchroll, and some FGC guy.

I thought she just didn't know if wonder woman is set in world war 1, not that she didn't know about world war 1.

I took a peek and there were girls dressed in tight clothes turning into dragons or something.

Don't think I'll watch more.

Sounded like she was confused because they never called it World War 1. As the movie was set during that time, they refer to it as the war to end all wars and the great war and such.

This was moments after Dan said Batman Forever and Batman & Robin are better than any modern superhero movie. Not to be outdone.

So I tuned in again and there's a girl and she's going to die unless she kisses a dude?

Anime is weird.

I finished Castlevania yesterday. Peoples' expectations must have been reaaaaaaaaaally low. I though it was just OK tbh. But nice seeing what Castlevania is actually about (I assume).

Super low budget anime is something you can get away with only once every few years. At least for me, it wears out its welcome extremely quickly.

Dan doesn't think further about stuff. Or doesn't want to think about the implications of Batman or Walmart. That's where I was coming from.

I think Dan just wants to be happy no matter what and is totally fine living in his own little, protected and limited bubble.

tbf so do most people in the world.

Are we still talking about Batman? I used to be way into all things Batman but ever since, oh, around the time of Dark Knight Rises, his treatment in films/games/pop culture has done a real number on my appreciation of the character in general.

If you want to read good Batman though, Grant Morrisson's run was incredible. That man knows how to write a comic book, tell you what
