In regards to Jessica Jones the show played fast and loose with her abilities. According to her "bio" on the Internet she has legit super strength, well beyond any normal human. I'm no comic book expert but it seems Jones super strength is on par with someone like a Spider-Man. Her comic book version survived an attack from both Iron Man and Vision. But the Netflix version doesn't seem that strong. She got knocked out by Electra? They never showed her lifting anything really heavy until the end of Defenders where she held that elevator by the steel cable.

These should have toned down her bitchiness. It was ok and funny in small dose but it got irritating after a while. She had two one liners that had me rolling, though.

The first time Jones saw Matt Murdoch wearing her scarf to cover half his face she told him, "You look like an asshole."

She confronts a Hand henchman spying on the dead architect's family. The henchman starts fighting with martial arts. She deadpans, "Jesus, am I the last person who doesn't know karate?"

Didnt follow Jessica Jones after 2 episodes, havnt seen Luke Cages show.

I did love both Daredevil seasons and the Iron Fist season. Cant wait for Punisher to come out.

Saw the 1st episode of Defenders and it kind of just dragged on.

I binge watched The Punisher. Overall great season with Jon Bernthal continuing his excellent performance from Daredevil season 2. And as I would have expected and hoped it also has lots of killing and bloody violence, particularly gruesome in a few scenes in some of the last episodes.

Thankfully this show takes place some time after DD season 2 rather than being a prequel origin story (I've had enough of those from shows and movies), as I had for some strange reason convinced myself it would be after reading or watching some recent pre-release material.

Since it's once again 13 episodes it does suffer from being too slow in a number of episodes, just like the previous shows, and Karen showing up in fortunately only a few episodes to be annoying, making herself a target and be helplessly attracted to Bad Boy of the Day (despite past moralizing about vigilantes). But otherwise I think I would put this at least on par with Daredevil season 1 in entertainment value, and The Punisher being the most compelling and interesting of the heroes.

Just finished watching the Punisher. I thought it was very entertaining -- very violent and better than Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Defenders was OK -- that Jessica Jones character has to go. She sucks.

Had it not been for Karen & the initial Marvel logo.
One can almost forget while watching this iteration of The Punisher that it essentially shares a cinematic universe with the Avengers & Agents Of Shield.

Change a few names & a few small plot points & this highly grounded season of The Punisher could easily be reworked into a drama about military PTSD & "the Deep State".

Josh "the faggot" whedon on punisher (from the punisher Wikipedia):

"One of the things I like about the X-Men is they're not killing people. I miss the idea of... heroes who stop that kind of thing from happening. Here's why I'm not running Marvel: If I was, I would kill the Punisher. I don't believe in what he does. The Punisher just shoots up places. And if you're telling me he's never hit an innocent, then I'm telling you, that's fascist crap".

2 episodes in and The Punisher delivers. Great stuff.

Josh "the faggot" Whedon and his faggot compadres are all cut from the same feminine cloth where no solution is good enough for their delicate sensibilities. If nobody were being killed then they'd set the bar higher and start asking why the X-Men had to resort to violence all the time rather than engaging in dialogue to "talk the criminal down".

In a make believe world where The Joker had determined that the sole purpose of his life was to kill Whedon do you think that faggot would want Batman on the job?

Let's see. Batman:

Criminal kills many.
Batman catches criminal.
Criminal escapes prison.
Criminal kills many.
Batman catches criminal.
etc etc etc

Punisher:
Criminal kills many.
Punisher kills criminal.
The end.

Of course, we don't need to imagine this shit, and the case in point for Whedon's faggotry is that he would utterly refuse to live in a socio-economic region populated by regular catch-and-release felons. If he were being held at gunpoint he wouldn't be praying for good a hostage negotiator, he'd be praying fucking good sniper.

This is why the soykin must be purged from any and all places of cultural and political power. And I'm not saying that flippantly. Our very survival in the West will rely on us wrenching the reins of power from them, bloodily if need be.

I have no idea who Josh Whedon is nor do I care to find out. But judging by his comment -- he is definitely a fruitbooty.

Hang on. Are we hating on Joss Whedon or Will Wheaton? Either is a fine object of hate but I wouldn't want to be so bigoted towards SoyBoys that I confused the two.

Post: #111

I used to like most of Josh Whedon's work (Buffy started airing 20 years ago so I was obviously somewhat younger and definitely blue pill, Dollhouse was the only one of the old shows I didn't like), and I suspect I would still enjoy Firefly. He directed the first Avengers movie too (and the second?) and while far from perfect they were fun enough. I think he writes good banter - and I like banter even from women.

Anyway, no Whedon involved with The Punisher - or any of the other Marvel Netflix series (he could only have been an improvement over the tool who was put in charge of Iron Fist though). And lots of brutal of killing and violence in The Punisher.

Women can't do banter. Hell, most men are rubbish at it also. Great banter correlates with the bell curve & as such, due to the Dunning Kruger effect, the banterless think they are god's gift to conversation (the word conversation means filling silence with sounds to these people - they do it in their heads when they don't have an immediate victim). While those with banter see their efforts squandered & rebuked.

Banter should be effortless.

Nothing is effortless with the majority of women, & increasingly men these days.

For a tl;dr The Punisher kills criminals because his family was killed by mobsters when they witnessed a mob hit. He's an ex-Marine and Special forces soldier who will fight his cause of killing criminals until he's dead. No chance of redemption whatsoever. He'll go after everyone, Garth Ennis' Punisher stories had him taking on a variety of enemies.

Whedon probably saw the 2004 film and thought that was the Punisher. Lack on research for that groping cuck.

A decent portion of the women I've dated or been in relationships with have been wittier and more entertaining conversation partners - in most cases without being snarky - than most guys I meet. But it's possible it doesn't quite fit the exact definition of banter (which I should probably go and look up).

Post: #115

I find that women appear to be good at banter until maybe a week in when they reach the end of their prerehearsed material and hit 'loop'.

Daredevil going SJW? Mildly disappointing but I was ready for it. Was only a matter of time.

First two series were definitely worth a watch (though both suffer from 'Netflix padding'). Some amazing fight choreography. Fisk was awesome (if weird). Also, The Punisher was absolutely tremendous in his limited cameo roles, such a shame his own series turned out to be utter shite. Daredevil had too many ineffectual ninjas for my liking (Make Ninjas Formidable Again).

Will give the third season a fair go eventually, but series 2 of Making A Murderer is out tonight on Netflix so Daredevil will have to wait till I've caught up on the latest goings-on with the Avery family.

The punisher season one is one of the best shows I've ever watched (just below the Wire, Sopranos.)

What?! His own season 1 was excellent (with the exception of some slow mid season filler material we've gotten in all the Netflix Marvel shows).

I'm about to start episode 3 of the new Daredevil season. Okay but unremarkable opening episodes.

Post: #120

I really wanted The Punisher to be great and thought it started very strong and I was hopeful in the early episodes, but the quality dropped alarmingly quickly for me and I struggled to get through to the end. I really wasnt expecting to find myself bored and clock-watching in the middle of the first series! It all had real potential though as evidenced by Berthnals epic stints in Daredevil, hope they win me over again with future episodes.

Looks like Luke Cage and Iron fist got the axe

Its too bad, Iron fist got a lot better for season 2 and Luke Cage was always awesome.

I've seen lots of speculation about whether Disney is paying to cancel deals since they have their own streaming service coming up. I wouldn't really expect them to resurrect the Netflix shows on their own service though.
I think they already filmed The Punisher season 2, so I'm guessing that's safe before cancellation. I wouldn't be surprised if that turns out to be the last of the Netflix Marvel shows.

But a lot of it was always a bit meh to me anyway. Above a lot of TV shows for sure but with plenty of issues and slow stints.
Iron Fist certainly got a lot better in the second season but I won't miss it, although the ending did make it look like a season 3 could have taken some interesting turns.
Luke Cage was over all better but it was mostly a little too culturally off from my taste (in essence it was probably too black - and I also disliked the excessive amount of live music and the horrendously obnoxious Mariah character. She made Karen look barely annoying at all in comparison). I think I still have a few episodes left of the second season actually.
Jessica Jones was... well, she was just your above average alcoholic bitch who was far too deep in her own emotional problems and selfishness most of the time to be deliberately heroic.

Daredevil and The Punisher are (mostly) great.

I've finished the first eight episodes of season 3 and haven't seen any signs of additional SJW-isms, above what might have been there in very modest doses in previous seasons. Mostly just Karen being obnoxious as usual, pushing the patience of the bad guys - possibly the viewer too - to the breaking point and then having to be saved by men (mansaving? Surely even worse than manspreading and mansplaining?).

It's possible that might change in the remaining five episodes, or if what I gleaned from what little I watched from the video you linked (sorry, I think I would need to be drunk or high to sit through and entire video of that guy talking - he may very well make some excellent points but his way of communicating them is a little outside my sober tolerance limits. I might give it another try), maybe they are more subtle points relating to current US politics that I might miss entirely.

Finished binge watching season 3. No reason for SJW paranoia.
Very good season - though obviously with some lulls and low points like all the Marvel shows - significantly better than the post-Punisher episodes of season 2.

If you tell be Batman (who benches 400lbs and is one of the most skilled martial artists in the world) hasn't killed anyone after endlessly kicking the shit out of unpowered goons, I'm telling you that's fascist crap.

One of the funniest SJW revisions was Batman taking on "excessive force" in the Gotham police department during the BLM era. Everyone had to pretend the beatings Batman gave out on a daily basis weren't worse than the ones they critiqing.
