Last year, the Netflix release of Marvel's Daredevil took superhero fandom by storm. The set of episodes that comprised Daredevil's freshman year breathed new life into a fairly moribund television landscape.
My big concern is that they are going to swap bullseye and punisher in regards to Elektra.
I’m afraid I’ve had my fill of Bullseye, Kingpin, Elektra, Punisher and Ninjas. I read that stuff in the Frank Miller days (early ’80s) and I still have those issues and cherish them. But I don’t want to read or watch rehashes in 2016.
Mark Waid had the right idea — clearing away some of the darkness and angst, and getting back to the fun of the Stan Lee-Gene Colan days. Ant-Man and Guardians showed there’s an audience for lighter takes on superhero tales. Why can’t it work on TV?
“the television rendering of this character, while very well-acted by Jon Bernthal, fails to match the ferocity and depth of his comic book incarnation.”
Who the hell cares? Since when has the comic character been interesting? Why does the show have to be like the comic?
Is the show, and the character on the show, in and of themselves, worth a damn?
I’d say the Ennis and Aaron versions of the Punisher are very compelling. Even his appearance in Brubaker’s Daredevil was a highlight.
