3 episodes into Punisher S2, loving it.

That bathroom fight scene in the first episode was awesome (and the cinematography simply beautiful) and it's keeping a pretty solid pace; I don't understand comments I saw about it starting slow, it started with a bang!

Yeah, I quite liked how the season opens with Frank trying to maintain some semblance of a normal life, making new connections and such (presuming that's what the comments in question allude to.) "Slower" moments like these lend a sense of intimacy to what would otherwise be wholly grim and gritty proceedings. That's not the kind of thing I've generally come to expect from a show revolving around a comic book-based vigilante, and I mean that in the best possible sense. It's downright refreshing, not to mention bittersweet given Netflix's latest decision to cancel their Marvel line-up! Also, like you suggested, there's more than enough red-blooded action here to satisfy the needs of hardcore Punisher fans.

Luke Evans is ideal for Sinestro.

Yes !!

As with all superheroes who've been around for decades, his powers have changed over time.
I'm not sure what would be the best way to define it might be, there are a lot of fun examples of how he's used it over the years:
The World's Mightiest Mortal!: Captain Marvel's Powers: The Wisdom of Solomon

Personally I'm drawn towards going back to the source with King Solomon asking for the wisdom to lead his people. So I'd have it be sound judgement and power of reasoning. Rather than a great amount of factual knowledge or clairvoyance / hypnotism, it's being able to assess a situation, weigh up the options are determine the best path to take. It would guard him against rash actions, from being careless or foolish.

There are plenty of "super-smart" heroes, but that is usually only expressed by inventing things or being good with computers. Rarely does it manifest as good judgement. Rather than smart, I think of wisdom as thoughtfulness or insight.

Perhaps a take on it would be that he literally has Solomon's memories, that he has the benefit of knowing what Solomon knew, learning from Solomon's mistakes and instantly gaining decades of life experience.



Much like his other powers, wisdom can be used for constructive, or destructive purposes. I see it as something that ensures he will be competent at whatever he sets out to do, however it contains no moral component. If used for evil, it can be incredibly dangerous. That's were Billy comes in, the wrong person would be a cunning and inscrutable tyrant.

You mean marrying all the women of DCEU =P

Aronofsky will always get my ticket money because of this masterpiece:



I even liked Noah. It didn't bother me that all them life saviors were more white than a glass of milk or that Emma Watson can't act, fat bald Crowe. Hell, I even liked 'Mother!'..

I'll always treasure The Fountain as one of the most beautiful and greatest pieces of cinema I've ever witnessed... nothing but unconditional love for it

Haven't seen Noah or Mother! yet, but I'm certainly interested simply by virtue of being Aronofsky.

Aronofsky for MoS2

He was in the run for Batman long ago, ya know? Long before Batman Begins; his Batman Year One would have been insane, and made LOTS of big changes to the mythos, almost everything really, and it would have been as refreshing as it would've been hated by the "fandom".

Btw.... im watching Black Lightning for the first time and i actually liked it, im only episode 2 but yeah, its cool.

Only funny thing is the music lol, sometimes it puts me off, like u have a club scene and i was expecting electronic music and boom!! it was all rap so overall, its a great show minus the music now i wonder if i should see Luke Cage after this one. Are both similar? Luke Cage and Black Lightning?

I only watched the first 3 or 4 episodes of Black Lightning....I couldn't get into it; I really liked everything about it...minus the superhero action; every time Jefferson would put on the suit and go on action mode, they lost me, I thought it looked terrible and totally did a 180 from serious to silly, took any desire to continue watching away.

Sadly, as much as I'd like to give it another chance, we're drowning in content here and there are literally another 100 things at least that I'm trying to find the time and space to watch.

releases 4 days from today. How'd you watch it?

I'm a little confused by this, I thought normally Netflix original material was released at the same time worldwide?? I've seen that his has been released in some places (it's already on putlocker, brehs), but not on Netflix in my territory...

Yeah, I quite liked how the season opens with Frank trying to maintain some semblance of a normal life, making new connections and such (presuming that's what the comments in question allude to.)

Also, like you suggested, there's more than enough red-blooded action here to satisfy the needs of hardcore Punisher fans.

Yeah, I think the criticisms I saw about it being "slow" meant that it "dragged" or something, which I didn't feel at all, if anything the first couple of episodes felt a little "lighter" than previous Netflix Marvel shows...but maybe it was just the funk I smoked before hand...

On a completely unrelated note, McQ is quickly becoming one of my favorites and he makes twitter worth it; his response to someone bashing Michael Bay is all I have to say to so called "critics".

I would have love to see his Batman Year One, but we would have missed the Nolan's trilogy which is perfect, so im not sure if i want to lose that, either way Batman would be a winner.

Lol, i feel you about BL, even tho so far im still enjoying it and yeah, there's a lot of **** to catch on, i still need to see some seasons from Legends of Tomorrow, Gotham, Arrow, Flash, Supergirl and i havent seen anything from Krypton and it's also on my list, mess

 

[MbJ]

Graham Linehan turning out to be a huge ####head is a shame. Father Ted is a classic.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

This season of Punisher is so damn good! I'll have to remember Steve Lightfoot's name, as I haven't been this enthralled with a Netflix Marvel show since Daredevil S1.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I can see Dan Stevens as Sinestro work, but Luke Evans might truly be more fitting for that particular role.

I finally watched all of season 2 of Castlevania, and I love it a bit less than I do the first season. 'Bloody Tears' is awesome in this show.

 

[Polux]

The Punisher S2 (starting) episode 6...

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm really enjoying the Punisher having a "teenage female sidekick", don't know if this ever happened in the comics, but I feel she adds a lot the the dynamics and humor and actually adds a lot to Frank's character.

I'm really liking this season so far.

 

[harlequinade]

I'm still on the beginning of episode 7, ugh hate work days

 

[KalvinEllis]

 

[Chip Chipperson]

maybe this is the year that the MCU joins the academy award winning DCWhateverYouWannaCallitAtThisPointU in the sun

 

[Nardz937]

I didn't think the movie was great or that it is more deserving for the nom than some other comic book films, but I'm super happy to see it nominated for genre.

 

[KalvinEllis]

I think it's funny they snubbed TDK for best picture and nominated Ledger, while here they nominated BP for best picture and snubbed Jordan.

 

[harlequinade]

I'm just happy Sam Elliott is there and my main gurl Melissa

Still, not watching. How many for pedo is it? 5 nominations? Pass

 

[Aurakles]

I've only seen Blackkklansman.

 

[harlequinade]

I think it's funny they snubbed TDK for best picture and nominated Ledger, while here they nominated BP for best picture and snubbed Jordan.

Snubbed implies this man was ever worthy of one

 

[Chip Chipperson]

yeah I've only seen klansman as well

great great movie, hope it wins.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I think it's funny they snubbed TDK for best picture and nominated Ledger, while here they nominated BP for best picture and snubbed Jordan.

still the greatest injustice to this very day

 

[harlequinade]

“Black Panther” - 8/10
“BlacKkKlansman” - 8/10
“Bohemian Rhapsody” - I can't see films made by rapists so this registers as blank space to me
“The Favourite” - 9,5/10
“Green Book” - 8/10
“Roma” - can't get past first 5 minutes
“A Star Is Born” - 9,5/10
“Vice” - 8/10
