Zak Katz Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Chill out udp, it's his opinion. Just because you have a crush on her doesn't mean he's wrong. I thought she was so annoying, but decent looking. When your annoying it's hard to be attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 1 - I'm not wrong. I said "I don't think" she was attractive. That is right. I don't. At all. I don't think she's ugly. I just don't think she's attractive. 2. no one needed you to think she was attractive...like ever? how is that even relevant? 2 - REPEATEDLY characters would say how beautiful she is. After about the third time, I couldn't take it anymore. It was like the show was trying to convince us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 sorry if my first comment came off as an attack, it was meant to be playful her attractiveness is as relevant as Foggy's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'd say in both she's more normal person attractive then movie star glamorous. Which is perfectly fine with me; I like normal people more then movie stars.In my mind, "normal people" constitute some of the wacky folks I see at the Wal-Mart at 11 pm. . .I would take the movie stars over that, but YMMV. I thought the woman playing Karen was extremely attractive, though her little tics and mannerisms got a bit annoying toward the end of the season (same goes for Foggy and even Ben).

Mnemosis Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 her attractiveness is as relevant as Foggy's Again, I only have made her attractiveness an issue because the show itself did. They went out of their way to tell me how beautiful I'm supposed to think she is. It was the writers who made it relevant Speaking of Ben... Holy s**t did that hit hard. No kidding, right?

I don't recall them ever mentioning how cute she was on that show. I'm semi-tumescent for Foggy, too, now that I think about it. Probably because I was brain-washed by that sweet old Latina. Damn it.

Politician Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 -The final mask is absolute trash and hopefully they fix that. -Fisk being portrayed as an awkward adult virgin sometimes was a very low point along with having him just meet Vanessa which was boring and probably rules out The Rose, one of my all time favorite C-list villains. That's just personal nitpicking though. -I thought Foggy was terrible at first because he delivered his lines so forced but he got progressively good near the end. -I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing but despite the forced references to Avengers, DD didn't feel at all a part of the MCU but the show held it's own so well that I don't mind. -Felt way too much like a Nolan batman movie sometimes, especially the final episode. I felt they could have brightened things up and made it look and feel much more like it's a part of the MCU while still keeping the overall tone of the show.

Trekker 42 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 You thought Fisk and Vanessa was a low point? Interesting. I thought it was one of the best things in the series. Such an intriguing way to introduce our monstrous villain: put him outside his comfort zone doing stuff he normally wouldn't. Then when you show him being his normal self it'd be all the more terrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think they did a great job humanizing him and making him three dimensional, but I do agree that at times he seemed weak. Personally, I think that was more in his dealings with his partners than with Vanessa, but it's a minor quibble in my eyes. I do agree with the note Politician put in his spoiler tag, though. Shame we'll miss out on that character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I never thought he seemed weak. Just completely confident. He never wavered in having everything under control and you could see it whenever he interacted with people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I liked the Wesley character a lot and thought the scene with him and DAW was BS. I kept thinking of her low points on the last half of true blood and it was hard to watch her play another whiney stupid girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zexion_Armando Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Why is it such great casting though? What else has he done besides play an insufferable character on a bleh show?Thomas Jane or Bust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Frank isn't pretty, Tom Jane is. Not that I didn't enjoy his performance but that isn't the Punisher. Jane is super fun to watch in anything, that's why he was enjoyable, he was an awesome Mickey Mantle and a very good gigolo. I just don't see Punisher when I look at Jane. Now Brenthal is more Castleish, he looks beat up, weathered, I'd still like to see more before I knight him as the perfect Punisher. Ray Stevenson looked right for the roll, I think the performance will be reliant on the writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Politician Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I was gonna say, they could have paid Thomas Jane whatever and he probably would have done it. He sunk his OWN money into a Punisher project already, should have given him a chance I think. This is a good casting choice but far from the best ever, there's a few people I'd have rather seen but I'm not disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I've seen him as Shane and I've seen him in Wolf of Wall Street. I've also met and interviewed him, full disclosure. I think he's a phenomenal actor who looks the part to a tee and who can parlay the traits of Shane into exactly the Punisher I want to see You have to layer decency, desperation, and dementia just right for these sorts of roles. Jane WAS my favorite Punisher, but I imagine Bernthal playing a Frank who's a little farther gone. And you need that in a world of heroes and vigilantes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Thats good to hear.All I want at this point of for them to hint at Marc Spector, and I'll be in heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Great actor but I was hoping he would be cast as Bullseye. I think he will be great in the role, but I always think of Punisher being an older guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 All I want at this point of for them to hint at Marc Spector, and I'll be in heaven. They kinda did in TWS. Sitwell mentioned someone in Cairo and who else has ties to Egypt besides MK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I never liked Shane but I can totally envision Bernthal as Frank Castle. He's a little short (Frank is 6' 1") but he makes up for it in physique. Last I saw Bernthal he was bigger than Charlie Cox who's just as tall. They should play off each other nicely. And yes! Start dropping some Moon Knight Easter eggs in the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
