Hey all! Get ready for The Mandalorian Season 2 tomorrow! Starting Season 2 EP 7 & 8 on Patreon!! Want to catch up to the Season Finale of THE PUNISHER? Click here for early access: www.patreon.com/jamesvscinema Have a great day everyone!
To me it was more the situation Russo was living in, not the looks. You see all the soldiers having Problems getting back into life mentally and financially and then there‘s Russo with a company and his relationship with Madani. It doesn’t make sense he could have done all that himself unless he was able to live with everything they did, which he is because he‘s kind of evil.
Wow nice insight, I hadn't even caught that. Although I knew about the comicversion of Jigsaw, the way they interlaced the scenes of 'Uncle Bill' and the fact he was responsible for the death of 'em was just an amazing way to have him feel really evil without having him do crazy sadistic shit.
I knew nothing about The Punisher, but I watched it because my son bugged me for years to watch it! Glad I finally did because I loved it! As soon as I saw how good looking and successful Russo was, I immediately thought he was a bad guy! I was spot on! 😂😂😂
Oh boy as soon as I saw the thumbnail i was instantly like recoiling NO I DONT WANT IT. Because I know already. Lol my reaction when I first saw THAT scene was the same as Frank's. Just like ??!!? WAIT WHAT Jon acted the fuck out of that scene. Little fun fact. When that scene was being set up, he had told the stunt coordinator or director I forgot who, to make his wrist straps tighter and tighter to really get into the scene and mind set. Hes a beast.
Even without the comic book knowledge about his character I automatically don't trust any character Ben Barnes plays because he's way, way too good at that subtle sinister vibe lurking just under the surface. :D
Punisher fact: Did you know that Punisher in a different universe is Peter Parker. He has a mashup costume of punisher and his spiderman costume. His suit is also tricked out with gun like gadgets.
The whole mental fatigue, ptsd, depression aspect was done well in the show imo. Rare subject, often done wrong and easy to get wrong. But I think it added alot to the story and really adds depth to the characters by showing how they all cope with things. Similar issues but so many ways to live and deal with it.
By the way - I don't know if this has been mentioned - but the title The Judas Goat, refers to how slaughterhouses would keep a live goat at the property and use it when they had nervous cattle arrive. The cattle would see the relaxed goat being led into a building and feel more confident about entering a completely alien environment.
I just love Ben Barnes. He is so talented, not only as a bad guy but as a good guy. And his bad guy is awesome. Punisher and Westworld is his best work. And his Dorian Gray is very good movie.
@@hali_55 There is new fantasy show coming this year with him in it. Shadow and Bone. Looked interesting. I think Barnes would be awesome as Adam Warlock in MCU.
@@hali_55 Mahershala Ali is Blade, so I think they can. Alfre Woodard has played two characters in MCU too. Michelle Yeoh will be in Shang Chi playing different character. Gemma Chan will be in Eternals playing different MCU character. So they definitely can pick Ben Barnes for something else.
To me it was never the slicked-back hair with Russo (although that definitely didn't help). It was the eyes. He looks like he's got shark eyes. Never trust someone with shark eyes.
Love your videos man. Just want to throw something out at you. Not sure if you were ever into comic books but it's neat hearing you talk about a lot of the shots you like most from a film maker perspective and when I was watching what I saw was them using the camera to mimic comic book panels. A lot of those like over head shots of the close ups of the white eye are to me a straight tip of the hat to the artists from the comic books and how they framed panels.
@@wujumbo2480 also a version of the punisher was ghost rider i believe which is what they should do for the new ghost rider bring john barenthal in to the MCU as the punisher but kill him immediately and bring him back as ghost rider in another flick. kinda skipping the origin movie thing as i think people have shown unless your a new character or your doing something real special we are good on origin movies.
@@JamesVSCinema Having seen the first season some time ago, I remember how absolutely bonkers it gets with the violence and gore. If you haven't seen the second half, all I'll say is you will definitely have great, strong reactions to those episodes. Also, they did a great job modernizing the classic origins of Russo from the comics and the buddy partnership between Frank and Micro.
Yo James loving your run on this show and trust me it keeps getting better, seeing you highlighted some of the things about mental issues being portrayed, i recalled you being into gaming as well. maybe you're already familiar with the game but if you are not. *Hellblade:Senua's Sacrifice* is one of the most impressive creations i have yet seen as far as portraying mental illness through a lens we can understand directly as a viewer. i would love to see you do a review or lets play on that game seeing having an eye for cinematography can these days be applied to Game's as it can be to series or movies.
Hello, found your channel and you reviewed two of my favorite films in Trainspotting and City of God. I would also like to recommend you react to Run Lola Runa and Coherence. They can both be spoiled so it is really best to go in blind.
Man it pissed me off when I saw the end of this episode the first time. I've just never understood why Frank doesn't take Bill's offer, other than he wasn't done with vengeance. He never gives a reason, unless I missed something.
Just thought of the ULTIMATE hidden masterpiece that has gone completely overlooked ... 1970's Phantom of the Paradise (a Phantom of the Opera in a rock idiom... brilliant, best movie... Paul Williams (Karen Carpenter) composed all the music)
Hello James, can u check out tv show called "Warrior" from Cinemax(was). If u like Daredevil choreography or maybe a fan of Bruce Lee, then i bet u will absolutely love this one. I hope it's gonna be worth to react and also i think the camera works and cinematography are really good too.
great acting by Jigsaw. He has his hands (amongst other parts) in just about all sides. The telling a is little like Snowfall on FX. The main character who is basically distributing crack into the city is backed by a cia operative who is an undercover drug dealer. So morale and true intentions parallel with both parties.
punisher is my favorite of the marvel netflix shows especially season 2 but as for the gut read thing it seemed to me like they were building him as the bad guy to some degree as his name is a giveaway if you know the source material but only7 really in this episode when he talks to frank in person do you have a moment of wait fuck did i read this wrong and immediately they show you that your right cause if they wait another episode or 2 you will snap back to the 5 episodes of feeling like no this guys sketch AF.
About crafting stories about mental health issues but also about every story that is not your own: Do the research. Real, heavy duty research. If it's possible try and talk to people who live in those situations. There's NOTHING worse than that.
I really really like Curtin but my dude doesn't know how to not get himself out of other people's business. He kept Frank's secret but he keeps on spilling things about others.
@@JamesVSCinema is it on thr channel or did you watch it yourself? Id love to know what yiu thought about the look and feel of the movie and production not so much the story

This! The ptsd and struggles are such big part of the season. And then in walks Billy with all success and zero problems.
His normalcy and how he "relates" to the other people seems legit but not deep at all. He definitely gives the psychopath vibes.
Snakes are always hella smooth!

“The only way out is through.”
What a great line that neatly encompasses the series.
Always interesting to hear your commentaries about filmmaking techniques😊
"I f*#kin' KNEW it!" 😆 Genuine REACT moment!

I had no idea!!
@@JamesVSCinema Punisher is pretty cool when it comes on doing a bunch of different stuff with him.
@@JamesVSCinema Frank also became Cosmic Ghost Rider at some point, lol.
@@juankusoff And in the last couple of years, was using the Warmachine suit.

Hilarious title to Billy

Right? The dude is great. I wanna see him in more stuff
@@hali_55 There is new fantasy show coming this year with him in it. Shadow and Bone. Looked interesting. I think Barnes would be awesome as Adam Warlock in MCU.
@@MrHale I agree, though I wonder if they’d cast someone who played a pretty major role in a marvel show

Hahaha honestly you are right!!
that's weird because Ben Barnes really has those dark eyes in real life, and he's such a sweetheart. And those are beautiful eyes, not evil eyes 😂

Punisher Fun Fact: Did u know he got magic Jesus Christ Heaven Uzis to fight criminals.
Hahaha
@@JamesVSCinema Its true read the comics he died and came back with them.
@@wujumbo2480 Yup, had a coat and the pockets in the coat had access to the armories of heaven.
its a little memeish but punisher kills everything is my favorite comic.
@@wujumbo2480 also a version of the punisher was ghost rider i believe which is what they should do for the new ghost rider bring john barenthal in to the MCU as the punisher but kill him immediately and bring him back as ghost rider in another flick. kinda skipping the origin movie thing as i think people have shown unless your a new character or your doing something real special we are good on origin movies.
Been keeping up with your Punisher series clips, great show seen it when it originally aired, cheers!
The title of the episode implies Billy’s betrayal and is also a nice nod to Curtis’s monologue about the goat. 🐐
It's only going to get bloody and crazier as the season progresses. Especially by the end.
Hahaha oh it gets reeeeal bloody

Russo wears a hat to hide his evil, slicked back hair. lol
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait!
I freakin love that scene. Jon’s performance is great 🤘🏽
Jon’s honestly I’m a league of his own!
So many threads in this story. Great storytelling.
This is my favourite show, then daredevil followed by Arrow love your reactions bro.
4:07 my thoughts exaxtly 😂

billy russo may be sus, but the dude smooth
This is tied with wandavision for the peak of my week

You gotta check out White Tiger on Netflix if you haven’t already

Hi James. Can you give us review of Joker. It has some amazing cinematography.
great acting by Jigsaw. He has his hands (amongst other parts) in just about all sides. The telling a is little like Snowfall on FX. The main character who is basically distributing crack into the city is backed by a cia operative who is an undercover drug dealer. So morale and true intentions parallel with both parties.
Incredible right!?
Yeah..hes shady as fuck lol
Do you have a Letterboxd account?
I recommend you to watch "Elite Squard" (2007), by José Padilha. It's a master piece.
John wick is the best action film series. Period. you will enjoy.
punisher is my favorite of the marvel netflix shows especially season 2 but as for the gut read thing it seemed to me like they were building him as the bad guy to some degree as his name is a giveaway if you know the source material but only7 really in this episode when he talks to frank in person do you have a moment of wait fuck did i read this wrong and immediately they show you that your right cause if they wait another episode or 2 you will snap back to the 5 episodes of feeling like no this guys sketch AF.
It’s because his name is not Russo. He shortened his name to sound more American.
