@matthewdmarsden he said the words to prove he fits in. I doubt he even knows what the hill he said. Woke ideology is basically like seo optimization. Buzz words become camoflauge in this case.
I'm fine with the emotionality that Bernthal brings to it. The problem for me is that it all makes sense in the context of the origin. Once he makes the decision to be the punisher this is exactly how it should be. They can show little cracks here and there but ultimately for the punisher there is no going back and Marvel constantly keeps going back and replaying the same story line again and again and the same type of scenes again and again. I think they got it right in DD season 2 and after that it should have been boom. I put on the final trench coat outfit and he's just the stone cold punisher after that.
I never understood why people struggled to meet min requirements at a job. Even if the company is in the wrong in a scenario which it’s not in this case how is the first thought not okay if I don’t do it they are going to have a problem with me. I’m required to do my job if I want to keep it. If I don’t then the company can get rid of me even if they are wrong which they aren’t in this case. Blows my mind that people even open their mouths to say that stuff. Get in the truck text the person you had plans with and cancel or reschedule. You want to keep getting paycheck bro?
I think he is a great Punisher but in my opinion nothing he has done has surpassed DDS2. Whoever was writing that got the character more than this. They had the origin now once he puts on the skull let him be the punisher and once a season whatever tiny sub plot/relationship thing he can have his human moments.
It's becoming like watching a movie about Bruce Wayne. That's great but where's Batman.
I am in no place to give adviceI do not have children and this might not apply to you Joey so just take this as something to think about or with a grain of salt. I had a great dad but the one thing I wish he did was give me advice/mentor me with his words. He was a great example but only having an example forced me to guess at times. Fortunately I didn’t hang out with a bad crowd to fill that vacuum in terms of advice but it left me lost most times. I don’t think fatherhood disappeared in culture as much as mentorship has and a father should always be their son’s first mentor. As men we think sharing our thought or feelings leaves us vulnerable and that’s the last thing we want to feel. But taken as a blanket policy can rob sons of what only a father can give him. It has been a sneaky and subtle way that generational trauma has spread throughout our culture. And our culture stop caring about us a long time ago.
