Yeah, that felt off. Ass-stupid move.

They could probably have written it better for it not to seem totally contrived.

 

[roflwaffles]

E3 is the new high point of the Marvel Universe.

E3 is the new high point of the Marvel Universe.

I think you're right.

Ep 4

Spoiler

Did we see the birth of Jigsaw? Bor Finn getting his face blown off.

 

[nubbe]

the episodes are too short

 

[Blue Ninja]

Damn, taht was a good opener. Really excited for the rest of the season now.

 

[Thatonemoor]

Episode 4:

Spoiler

That Jessica Jones reference.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Damn... I hated Jon Bernthal in everything I've seen him in uptil now but I"m completely sold on his Frank Castle.

How I feel as well.

He's absolutely incredible in episode 4. Just wow.

 

[Indelible]

Just watched the first 4 episodes, Bernthal is incredible as Punisher.

 

[beyond_death]

I think Punisher needs his own series right now and I've only watched 3 episodes. Damn. Just take stories from Ennis' run, I dont even care just give me it.

 

[Sojgat]

Can't wait to start watching this later tonight. Have a bad feeling I won't be getting any sleep.

Good to hear people are liking Bernthal's Punisher.

 

[ZeroX03]

Finished the first episode. There's still a bit of that Netflix bloat, but the episode was only 5 or so minutes longer than it needed to be rather than like 10-20 like JJ.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

The new trademark action scene is really good, even while its far more over the top that the one of Season 1

 

[Agent_Carnage]

Just finished EP 1 Great start.

Gunna take it slow watch another EP later.

 

[BahamutPT]

Just finished episode 3! Simply amazing!

 

[Creamium]

Oh man, so good to see these early impressions. Dying here at work, one more afternoon

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Oh man, so good to see these early impressions. Dying here at work, one more afternoon

Curious of the momentum stays, the early impressions for JJ were great, too.

 

[Grazzt]

How I feel as well.

He's absolutely incredible in episode 4. Just wow.

Just watched the first 4 episodes, Bernthal is incredible as Punisher.

I know, right? He is amazing!

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I'm hoping i like this as much as JJ. would settle for it being as good as S01

 

[shink]

Wow Ep3.

 

[T-Rex.]

Episode 3 is the best thing Marvel has done. Stunning bit of TV.

 

[Magwik]

Ep 2:

Spoiler

Before naming him the Punisher, Foggy suggests the name "Killdozer" I don't know if this is supposed to be tongue in cheek about Killgrave or not lol

 

[Slixshot]

Just watched episode 1.

Spoiler

Punisher is straight up Terminator. It's awesome.

 

[Mchardy]

Just finished episode 4. Bernthal is amazing.

 

[S1kkZ]

3 episodes in, foggy (and even karren) are so much better than in season 1. i hope it stays that way.

i am excited and scared to continue watching. jessica jones was amazing in the first few episodes and then dropped off a fucking cliff. i hope this one will be different.

 

[Rhaknar]

4 down, its amazing so far, I need sleep. Will have proper thoughts later, lol at some of the reviews

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

2 episodes in and I'm already hating Karen again...

 

[firehawk12]

Sanctimonious heroes are the worst.

 

[Sblargh]

Wow, first four episodes felt like a fully-fledged DD movie.

 

[nubbe]

Man
Ep 3 & 4 are intense 😱

 

[Pachimari]

That fight scene in E3 wow. That was amazing but I'm not sure it was better than the S1E2 hallway fight. It didn't feel as iconic or like it had as much impact.

Onto E4.

 

[LFMartins86]

That fight scene in E3 wow. That was amazing but I'm not sure it was better than the S1E2 hallway fight. It didn't feel as iconic or like it had as much impact.

Onto E4.

Probably not but the rest of the episode is up there with the best that Marvel has ever done.

 

[Roussow]

Episode 3 is a big crowd pleaser, but episode 4 might be even better, fantastic way to close off this mini-arc. 5's transition from 4 feels like a traditional show coming back from midsession finale. The structure of this season so far gives me the idea that we have no fucking clue where the end of this season is going to take us -- based on the first couple of trailers (I didn't see the one from 2 days ago), that's an exciting premise.

 

[mileS]

These impressions have me hyped beyond belief. I gotta bail the thread now lol. Can't watch until tonight.

 

[Grazzt]

Finished 6 episodes. Have to sleep, hope to watch the rest tomorrow.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

That fight scene in E3 wow. That was amazing but I'm not sure it was better than the S1E2 hallway fight. It didn't feel as iconic or like it had as much impact.

Onto E4.

You could see the cuts better and it was way more superheroy then the hallway fight. Matt looked zero exhausted. Still a amazing scene.

 

[Bleepey]

Run from the raven-haired, olive-skinned, tight-ass bodied Jezebel! She'll get you killed!

 

[Roussow]

I did want to comment on this. Normally on a lengthy one take scene like this you'd be able to tell where the cut was by when the entire frame was blacked out, be it the camera pans behind someone's back, or gets close to a wall. Here they were being blatant with it, it was unexpected, jump-cutting to basically the same shot in the middle of a hit, they used the black-screen technique a few times (from what I could tell), but there were a few obvious cuts, too. Not sure if intentionally jarring, or whether that was just "recovered" like that in editing, recovered is a bit harsh, the scene was still fantastic, but it did stick out in my mind.

 

[TWrecks310]

Just finished episode 1. I really like how they make Punisher as almost like a horror movie villian.

That

Spoiler

bang

at the end was awesome.

 

[J_Viper]

Are Foggy and Karen as terrible as they were in the first season? Has the acting improved at all?

 

[Sou Da]

He was pretty clearly tiring toward the end.

 

[captjohnboyd]

Are Foggy and Karen as terrible as they were in the first season? Has the acting improved at all?

Not in the first episode lol. I tend to think it has more to do with clunky writing and exposition heavy dialogue than their actual abilities though. Foggy to Matt in ep 1, after Matt clearly uses his senses to hear conversations twenty yards away (so obvious we don't need it explained) "what did you pick up, your hearing is better than mine?"

Do the writers really think they need to spell that out for us? They just showed us his hearing is better we don't have to be told as well. It's terrible stuff and really takes away from any goodwill they build when it happens far too often, especially for a second season. That said I'm only on the first episode so maybe it's just working the kinks out

 

[StopMakingSense]

Ep 2:

Spoiler

Before naming him the Punisher, Foggy suggests the name "Killdozer" I don't know if this is supposed to be tongue in cheek about Killgrave or not lol

It's an (incredibly bad) movie reference.

Well that's a damn shame.

Maybe I'll just mess around on my phone until Bernthal shows up.

 

[Funky Papa]

Run from the raven-haired, olive-skinned, tight-ass bodied Jezebel! She'll get you killed!

Well, that's an incredibly weak warning.

 

[Thatonemoor]

Ending of Episode 6:

Spoiler

The People v Frank Castle! Hyped as shit!!

 

[captjohnboyd]

Well that's a damn shame.

Maybe I'll just mess around on my phone until Bernthal shows up.

Don't get me wrong. I'm still having a blast with the show. I'm just looking at it as a better executed cw type superhero show

 

[jmood88]

Karen's gonna get people killed again.

 

[Luke_Wal]

I think Punisher needs his own series right now and I've only watched 3 episodes. Damn. Just take stories from Ennis' run, I dont even care just give me it.

Just after seeing the early morning buzz around Bernthal, I would be REALLY surprised if we hear about a Daredevil S3 before we hear about a Punisher series. At LEAST a mini-series, but a full series wouldn't shock me. I suppose I'll have to see what his status quo at the end of the series is, though. I'm only 2 episodes in, but I'm loving it.

 

[Pachimari]

I just want confirmation of Daredevil S3 as quick as possible.
