      THE PUNISHER WAS VERY UNDERRATED. Jon, Deborah, and Ben were all brilliant in it and I will forever hold a grudge against whomever was responsible for cancelling it just because they wanted to snatch back the rights for Marvel characters to adapt them elsewhere. 😒

      @LadyJenevia  3 роки тому +4

      I don't actually know what the timeline was as far as cancellation goes in regards to the creative decisions made for season 2. There's always a possibility that they didn't know they'd be cancelled when they made it. Daredevil season 3 very much came across like they fully expected to keep going. There was so much that had been set up to continue the story. What a waste of quality art, storytelling, and performers. ☹️

    I'm glad you did a review of it and saved me from re-watching it. I saw it in 2013 and I didn't remember anything about it so I was wondering - I mean Robin Williams and Ben Barnes, right? It looks like the kind of film you do based solely on who is in the cast.

    • @LadyJenevia
      @LadyJenevia  3 роки тому +2

      I don't know if Robin Williams had some takes where he let loose more but if he did, they didn't even put them in the final cut. His material was pretty bland, especially considering that he's such an iconic comedy legend. Maybe I'll go through more of Ben's films in the coming months but it really depends. I always have so many videos I want to make that I can't do everything at once. 😂

    This movie felt like it was meant to be released in the 80's, got forgotten and then released a few years ago with no changes to the script at all.
    As a spanish speaker, his spanish is not fluent, but is Ben Barnes, so how can I be mad at him. Also, that's the least of aaaaaall the problems this movie has hahaha

    I absolutely love your cat. He/she is so cute. What is its name? I'm so distracted. I mean it's Ben Barnes, what can I say? I'd watch him in anything. I'd watch him wearing a trash bag. P.S. I'm 6 mins in. It's definitely going downhill into the typical racist spiel I expect from the film industry. I'm sick of the racism is quirky bs. It's not.

      This film is SO BAD and to be honest anytime I try to go through the filmography of an actor I like I always end up getting annoyed. I think that's just the name of the game when you're a working actor. Even if you sign on for something that looks good on paper, you don't know how it will turn out in the end depending on how it's edited, marketed, how the studio decides to change it if they want that... A MESS. 😳

    I too would like to hear more thoughts on The Punisher. Had a discussion recently with some of my fellow criminology peoples about the optics of Punisher/Batman as pro-police symbols so the character has been on the brain. Not assuming that's an angle you would take but I'd still be curious to see more discussion around the character.
