With Disney Plus bringing Vincent D'Onofrio back as Kingpin, that gives hope to the other Netflix Marvel characters. Question is are they will and able to go dark enough for the Punisher.
Fun fact: Castle did 3 tours in vietnam (among black ops in laos and other countries). Officially, Castle was only permitted to do 2 tours and was rejected for the third. So what did he do? He changed his name from Francis Castiglione to Frank Castle and signed on to a 3rd tour under a different name. I love that the creaters refrenced the name change lol.
Logan Ferguson I love him as the punisher but he isn’t owning the role like they did but only because he’s only had a season by himself and one season where he was a supporting character
Aaron deserved way more for his joke just before 5 minutes about how Frank is knocking down walls and the bad guy says, "You know we're trying to BUILD this place, right?" Bravo.
When i first watched this episode i was like "The Punish is gonna kick that guy's ass by the end of the eoisode" the when the time came i was like "OH SHIT...I forgot he's The Punisher he KILLS people"
The writing on this show was amazing, brilliant actually. Never seen a tv show with such rich character depth and unafraid to touch on some reaaaaaal sensitive issues. Get ready to experience greatness gentlemen. Cant wait to see the rest with yeah!
Greg jackson I think that Daredevil season 1 is better overall, but, the last 3 episodes of Punisher are better than any other episode on any other Marvel show
By far the best Marvel Netflix show since daredevil season 2. Seems a lot more grounded to the real world than the "marvel" world like the other shows.
I thought so too - personally it's my favorite intro for any marvel show. I'm on episode 10 now and have to say it's also my favorite stand alone series now.
I feel like what really hooks you about this show is, after so many Marvel and superhero movies where the hero in question struggles with the question of killing the people he's out to defeat, it's jaw-dropping seeing the brutality, savagery, and slaughter that is simply the Punisher's default method.
Alassana Djalo It's definitely Good. Like most Marvel shows it feels like a Video game where you end up in such a different place compared to where you started
"All I know is that we risked our lives and did terrible things... and it meant nothing when we got home." // What a powerful and heartbreaking line!! I love the way this show handles the problems veterans go through
omg im so excited! cant wait for more reactions on this series! its always fun and insightful to hear what you have to say in the review segment, im near at the end of it myself on netflix, the only thing i can say is it gets better down the line guys!
I feel like Eric always underestimates the amount of garbage human beings in our world. If anything that guy is tame compared to the shit in real life.
I agree! The NRA guy wasn't over the top at all. He was no different than your run of the mill Rush Limbaugh or Alex Jones. I use those two as examples because they're well-known, but there's a lot of people I personally know who aren't famous who are just as bad if not worse than that NRA guy. In fact I run my own commentary news outlet ( JoshHillPolitics.com ). & honestly, I have had so much worse stuff said to me that it makes the NRA guy seem tame by comparison.
Finished the show and it is incredible! The whole cast is amazing, especially Bernthal. It balances comic book dialogue, brutal action, and real issues very well. Also, you probably recognize agent Madani's mother's voice as Tali's aunt, Shala Raan, from Mass Effect.
Fun Fact: The background music during the sledgehammer scene is performed by Tom Waits, who also appeared in the Denzel Washington film ‘Book of Eli’. Also, Tom Waits had an interview on an Australian broadcast where his voice sounds identical to Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker.
You guys are in for such a treat, cant wait to see your reactions to the rest of the series seeing your reaction to the end of this episode when frank was beating on those asshats.. please make the episode reactions more frequent, 2 a week at least? Pls dont say we gonna have to sit through 13 weeks of it, not that i mind, i just cant wait till you see it all lol
15:00 Aside from the incredible visuals, that's what stood out for me in the recent Last Of Us trailer. You SAW the lightning flash, then HEARD the thunder a few seconds later. Best sound design I'd ever seen!
Hey guys! Due to my life (!) I haven't binge watched the whole season no matter how much i want to so I'm really looking forward to watching your Monday discussions!
I’m sure yall figured this out already, but the soundtrack in this episode is by Tom Waits. The song is called “hell broke Luce” from the album Bad as Me 👍 Frank exhibits a love of Tom waits’s music a few times through the series. It’s kind of dope that frank listens to Tom and gets his whole thing. Or maybe it’s visa verse ;)
Delay between shot and death ~ 2.25s. Muzzle velocity ~ 853m/s. Let's call average velocity ~ 500m/s (to account for drag). Punisher was ~ 1.125 km away (~0.7 mi)
I'm about halfway through and I gotta say I was so wrong about it when I heard they were going to do a punisher I sighed but honestly it's up there as the best marvel show with Daredevil
When you guys are done, go back to this episode (and all the rest) and see how "layered" this show really is ... there is so much foreshadowing and character development that follows the best "rules" of good narrative ....
I'm only on episode 3 and i can be honest i think punisher might be up their with Daredevil as one of the bests, with this episode The flashback scenes tugged at my heartstrings, I also loved the scene with Frank and curt during the meeting scene I also apericated the whole group counselling scene and how real it was. The fight scene with the construction guys let just say I have rewatched that scene close to 5 times based off how awesome it is ( the music,his brutality) it was awesome
That blonde kid in the therapy meetings played Lee Harvey Oswald in 11 22 63 in that james franco mini series about trying to stop the jfk assassination and oh yea it involves time travel :) Just thought I would share that bit of information. Small part here but kids a pretty good actor.
John Bernthal is OWNING this role
I'm your 100th like.
I am your 483rd like
I am your 505th like
He already has owned this role
With Disney Plus bringing Vincent D'Onofrio back as Kingpin, that gives hope to the other Netflix Marvel characters. Question is are they will and able to go dark enough for the Punisher.
This show is so fucking dark and i love it. It's kinda depressing at times but they really nailed the tone.
Fun fact: Castle did 3 tours in vietnam (among black ops in laos and other countries). Officially, Castle was only permitted to do 2 tours and was rejected for the third. So what did he do? He changed his name from Francis Castiglione to Frank Castle and signed on to a 3rd tour under a different name. I love that the creaters refrenced the name change lol.
castle was definitely behind my lai
@@nathenb.9198 Fuck off man, you seen Born? He killed one of his own men for raping a female VC.
John Bernthal will be the Punisher for life after this show. He is to Frank Castle like Harrison Ford was Indiana Jones, or Hugh Jackman is Wolverine.
Logan Ferguson nah
Jon* but i agree with you :)
and they aint cheap
Logan Ferguson I love him as the punisher but he isn’t owning the role like they did but only because he’s only had a season by himself and one season where he was a supporting character
Or like Robert Downey Jr as Ironman
Aaron deserved way more for his joke just before 5 minutes about how Frank is knocking down walls and the bad guy says, "You know we're trying to BUILD this place, right?" Bravo.
This show has a pretty realistic take on PTSD and mental illness that I really enjoy
Let this sink in, the is the same universe as Ant-Man
Madgerns Lmfao. Well to be fair there was a psycho willing to kill baby animals and human children to get what he wanted.
hey, it's also in the same universe as talking raccoon and living planets, let THAT sink in
Really not sure why people say this all of the time. There are some light and dark contrasts in their world, and our world is the same,
Wait, is it? Because i hear people say that it is and people say that it isn't.
Keelan Barron i’m pretty sure all the marvel netflix tv shows are apart of the MCU
Little fun fact about Micro, in season 2 of Agents of Shield Skye actually name dropped him and got intel from him
Jerard Deal I just now remembered that! Awesome.
which episode?
Kobe Villarreal Season Two Episode 7
Until Robbie Reyes came in thats all AoS was. Name drops.
I like the think he decided to "go straight" and start working with the DHS after Skye was working with Shield.
"haaaaannn.... kill him"
You know... all it took was someone stepping over a sandwich for making eric the punisher!!!! you go man!!!
In my own opinion I believe this is the best marvel show Netflix has produced.
When i first watched this episode i was like "The Punish is gonna kick that guy's ass by the end of the eoisode" the when the time came i was like "OH SHIT...I forgot he's The Punisher he KILLS people"
lol same
The writing on this show was amazing, brilliant actually. Never seen a tv show with such rich character depth and unafraid to touch on some reaaaaaal sensitive issues. Get ready to experience greatness gentlemen. Cant wait to see the rest with yeah!
Greg jackson I think that Daredevil season 1 is better overall, but, the last 3 episodes of Punisher are better than any other episode on any other Marvel show
So far The Punisher show and character is my favorite thing in the MCU.
This Series jumped right to the top of the pile for me. This was awesome. I just finished it this A.M
Those non-verbal scenes got me. Jon Bernthal is such a good actor! Finished ep 2 and i can't wait to watch the rest!
Micro is my favorite "guy behind the computer"
wb the chubby dude from spiderman homecoming he really took one for the team.. lol
Just imagine Micro, "C'mon let me be your guy in the chair!"
Seriously. So GOOD. The pacing is perfect, really puts you in the chaos going on in his mind.
I've already watched the whole series. imho this is the best marvel-show right now.
I love how the flashbacks are playing on we the viewers in a way to show us PTSD is affecting Frank every single day.
LoonaticX the punisher does not suffer from ptsd
By far the best Marvel Netflix show since daredevil season 2. Seems a lot more grounded to the real world than the "marvel" world like the other shows.
And no more
*I Am The Immortal Iron Fist*
To me I don't really see this show as part of Marvel Universe. But I sick story on its own.
@@jaysee6619 yeah because iron fist sucks.
the intro is so badass. reminds me of johnny cash “Gods gonna cut you down”
Gino Israel I thought the same man
Gino Israel I was thinking the same thing to 😆
Gino Israel I knew it sound somewhat familiar. Nice
I knew it sounded fimilliar.
I thought so too - personally it's my favorite intro for any marvel show.
I'm on episode 10 now and have to say it's also my favorite stand alone series now.
could you imagine a Laugh track over every time The Punisher killed someone?
Still would get more of a laugh out of it then Big Bang Theory nowadays..
brave dalis Oh snap.
Watched the entire series yesterday, best netflix series 100%
Kokonut Yeah but critics are being stupid giving it a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes because it's "too violent" some bull shit
I think that Daredevil season 1 is better overall, but, the last 3 episodes of Punisher are better than any other episode on any other Marvel show
Gabriel Ramos It's way better than Daredevil season 1 to me
I want more!!!
Jessica Jones is better.
Already watched it all, such a good show
Ommy i watched it all within a week jus coz loved the actin of Jon Berenthal,such a genius actor
i just finished the show last night you guys are gonna enjoy it a hell of a lot
ReverendClöwn How would you rank it compared to the other Netflix shows?
Handsome Zach id give it a 10/10 because he did his acting right and that he knows how to do his stuff
I fucking loved it. The last two episodes were masterpieces.
This is Marvel's best TV Show so far. It even beats Daredevil in my opinion.
Siddhant Pandey Good to hear. I'm 3 episodes in. And I love it. I'll see the rest tonight after work.
Just finish watching The punisher this morning, and i have to say. It is my favorite out of all the netflix marvel shows.
its either my second or third i cant decide if i like it more than luke cage
Just watched the whole season yesterday in one sitting. :D
haha totally feel u my g, stayed up all night yesterday n binged the whole season lol, couldnt hold myself lol..
Lol I wish I could.
University is love.
go hard or go home
I feel like what really hooks you about this show is, after so many Marvel and superhero movies where the hero in question struggles with the question of killing the people he's out to defeat, it's jaw-dropping seeing the brutality, savagery, and slaughter that is simply the Punisher's default method.
I just watched the first episode and you guys post a video, nice timing, this is one of the reasons BW is my favorite Reaction Channel!!!
It's so weird being on episode 10and going back and seeing all of this stuff lol
The CVR123 So would you say that the show is good?
Agreed. A hell of a lot happened since this, that's for sure.
Alassana Djalo It's definitely Good. Like most Marvel shows it feels like a Video game where you end up in such a different place compared to where you started
The CVR123 dawg I'm already done and this came out like 2 days ago lmao
Alassana Djalo amazing. Ending great.
It feels like the entire reaction community was waiting for you guys to post this.
"All I know is that we risked our lives and did terrible things... and it meant nothing when we got home." // What a powerful and heartbreaking line!! I love the way this show handles the problems veterans go through
nice little easter egg at the end. garth ennis did a punisher story called "welcome back, frank" and in it he was taking on the gnucci crime family
just finished binge watching this show a few days ago. soo good. hype for the reactions!
Best pilot episode of all time
There are a LOT of great pilot episodes dude.
He must be a millenial!
The pilot was good the rest was trash
@@mysteryniggadel491 Agreed
Aww that’s so nice of you guys to offer the full reaction for free! Seriously, I am going to go watch it now, thank you!
Watched the full season yesterday and it’s outstanding
I would absolutely love to be on blind wave, just geeking out over shows, taking notes, i love this
omg im so excited! cant wait for more reactions on this series! its always fun and insightful to hear what you have to say in the review segment, im near at the end of it myself on netflix, the only thing i can say is it gets better down the line guys!
Im halfway through and this show is already in my top 3 for marvel netflix seasons
that hammer fight though we've seen three Thor movies never seen anything like this man
Loved it. Couldn't wait, binged it in a couple days. It'll be fun to check in on your guys' videos every week to see what you thought.
The song that was playing when Frank took out those 3 thieves that were trying to kill the new kid was Hell Broke Luce
I'm watching them week to week with you guys as well, can't wait to experience this with y'all.
I'm on episode 3. And this series is so fucking good
The theme music is very Sons of Anarchy-like. Johnny Cash influence? Love it!
From 14:40 and on when he’s talking about the sniper shots, you get some of that in “The Accountant” with Ben Afleck
I just binged it. Omg. That first episode....I flinched every time he swung that hammer.
ManicMeeks Hammer time.
I feel like Eric always underestimates the amount of garbage human beings in our world. If anything that guy is tame compared to the shit in real life.
blarf mcscarf That's the modern docile human response.
I agree! The NRA guy wasn't over the top at all. He was no different than your run of the mill Rush Limbaugh or Alex Jones. I use those two as examples because they're well-known, but there's a lot of people I personally know who aren't famous who are just as bad if not worse than that NRA guy.
In fact I run my own commentary news outlet ( JoshHillPolitics.com ). & honestly, I have had so much worse stuff said to me that it makes the NRA guy seem tame by comparison.
@@joshhill212 by your comment I can tell your news outlet is a joke
Finished the show and it is incredible! The whole cast is amazing, especially Bernthal. It balances comic book dialogue, brutal action, and real issues very well. Also, you probably recognize agent Madani's mother's voice as Tali's aunt, Shala Raan, from Mass Effect.
Was so happy when y'all reacted to this, i watched the full 13 episodes but i loved your reaction, thats why i sent the heads up in the arrow video...
Song during last fight hell broke luce by Tom Waits
This what I like about the punisher. Makes three grown men whince in pain even though their not.
I Realy Want Punisher to appear in a captain america movie or any marvel movie
Fun Fact: The background music during the sledgehammer scene is performed by Tom Waits, who also appeared in the Denzel Washington film ‘Book of Eli’. Also, Tom Waits had an interview on an Australian broadcast where his voice sounds identical to Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker.
I am loving every moment of the series I have seen the first three eps 10 more to go
so hyped for your reactions
You guys are in for such a treat, cant wait to see your reactions to the rest of the series seeing your reaction to the end of this episode when frank was beating on those asshats.. please make the episode reactions more frequent, 2 a week at least? Pls dont say we gonna have to sit through 13 weeks of it, not that i mind, i just cant wait till you see it all lol
El Paso, Texas and Juárez, Mexico are about 11 miles apart! Great shot!!!
15:00 Aside from the incredible visuals, that's what stood out for me in the recent Last Of Us trailer. You SAW the lightning flash, then HEARD the thunder a few seconds later. Best sound design I'd ever seen!
Yes! Jon Bernthal really deserved to be main in a show like this
Jon Bernthal kicking ass to the sound of a Tom Waits song. Nuff said.
Calvins face of shock & awe at the end had me dying 😂😂😂
Hey guys! Due to my life (!) I haven't binge watched the whole season no matter how much i want to so I'm really looking forward to watching your Monday discussions!
That last phrase "Welcome back Frank" is a callback to one of the Punisher serie
Discovering that you guys are reacting to my favourite Marvel series is fucking awesome. Great work guys!
I’m sure yall figured this out already, but the soundtrack in this episode is by Tom Waits. The song is called “hell broke Luce” from the album Bad as Me 👍
Frank exhibits a love of Tom waits’s music a few times through the series. It’s kind of dope that frank listens to Tom and gets his whole thing. Or maybe it’s visa verse ;)
That last scene of marvel’s the punisher pilot is my favorite. I mean oh my god!!
Jonny Bernthal was made for this role. This show is so badass.
This is the GOAT of Marvel shows. I doubt we’ll ever see anything like it again now that Disney owns Marvel Studios.
Ever bro.
This might be the first Marvel show I won't give up on. Looks pretty good so far.
You gave up on Daredevil? Daredevils probably the best out all the Marvel Netflix shows. Season two is even better because it has the Punisher in it.
@Sam Serrano - I couldn't get into for some reason, but I will give it another shot.
Robin really check Daredevil out man! My fav Netflix show
Robin You need to watch daredevil and defenders, Jessica jones and iron first are optional lol
@@RobinK lol how can you say that when daredevil exists and is LEAGUES better than punisher?
LOVED The Punisher! Bernthal is awesom!
They did not disappoint with this Series its awesome
Delay between shot and death ~ 2.25s. Muzzle velocity ~ 853m/s. Let's call average velocity ~ 500m/s (to account for drag). Punisher was ~ 1.125 km away (~0.7 mi)
Men, i loved so much this first episode. I just have no words for it!
I stayed up all night last night n binged watched the whole ting. ..couldnlt hold my self lol
Elsewhere in the mcu, howard the duck is just hanging out...
I'm about halfway through and I gotta say I was so wrong about it when I heard they were going to do a punisher I sighed but honestly it's up there as the best marvel show with Daredevil
The credit music reminds me so much of Justified...awesome!
"You know we're tryna Build a place" 😂😂
When you guys are done, go back to this episode (and all the rest) and see how "layered" this show really is ... there is so much foreshadowing and character development that follows the best "rules" of good narrative ....
Sledgehammer scene was brutal.
Im watching episode 9 right now and so far I'm really liking it.
I'm only on episode 3 and i can be honest i think punisher might be up their with Daredevil as one of the bests, with this episode The flashback scenes tugged at my heartstrings, I also loved the scene with Frank and curt during the meeting scene I also apericated the whole group counselling scene and how real it was. The fight scene with the construction guys let just say I have rewatched that scene close to 5 times based off how awesome it is ( the music,his brutality) it was awesome
That Marvel legends punisher fig tho...really need that in my collection
I love how they have the Regal cup on the table.
Oh man, I can't wait to watch the rest of these reactions. This shit gets hard.
I just finished this show and DAMN IS IT GOOD!
That blonde kid in the therapy meetings played Lee Harvey Oswald in 11 22 63 in that james franco mini series about trying to stop the jfk assassination and oh yea it involves time travel :)
Just thought I would share that bit of information. Small part here but kids a pretty good actor.
the word you were looking for is impaled as the guy fell on the bar
the robbery scene reminded me of that poker robbery scene from The Sopranos
The best Marvel premiere...EVER!!!
On episode 4 and loving it so far. Johnny Bernthal is killing it as Frank Castle
Best usage of a Tom Waits song ever!!
This was a hell of an opening
Middle guy's face at 10:35 lmfao same
The netflix shows are the only thing I like about the MCU, and hell, I am proud of liking it.
On ep 6 and my god this show is crazy good
Yes. I am ready
It's hard for me to watch this show as an OIF unemployed veteran. I started crying.
