Can't say I'm surprised. Their Netflix development arm is kicking all the ass so far. One wonders what they would have done with Agents of SHIELD... (which has been slowly and sporadically improving, to be fair).

Agents of SHIELD would likely have been a very different show on Netflix, for better or worse.

I think Netflix can afford to push the limits a little bit beyond what the networks can do. That being said I would not give a young kid blanket access to Netflix.

I would be very interested to see them develop a Punisher spin-off. I like what they've done so far with the character in Daredevil.

Nice.

Still eagerly awaiting "Iron Fist," as I'm a sucker for kung-fu action; I've still got scads of the marvel produced "Deadly Hands of Kung Fu," large-form comics from back in the 70's/ 80's so I'm totally pumped for this. :)

Punisher is my favorite superhero. Have been reading it since I was about 13. Can't wait for this.

The Punisher MAX stuff was awesome - but I sure as hell hope they don't bring back the Punisher suit from the 80's/90's where he had freaking white boots and white gloves. WTF was that about?

-off to watch the Jane Punisher stuff to celebrate-

My ex-wife used to call her divorce attorney The Punisher. I never understood why until......

Did they have white gloves and white boots (and wear them at the same time)? :P

Mine as well. Pretty much because he isn't a superhero. Just a hard drinking sociopath riding a massive wave of hate. >:D

That sounds like most of the males in my family. Oh well, 9am. Time to put on my wife beater, get my jar of sippin' vodka, then go sit on the porch and give the stink eye to neighbours.

^Then you guys and your families are my favorite superheroes. Let's all watch Punisher together when it's released and then slam folding chairs over our heads.

But first we drink!

Gusington · May 01, 2016, 04:16:20 PM

I am fine with that.

Punish the liver!
