People are complaining about the violence? Really?
Strange, when we've already seen this version of the Punisher in action in Daredevil season 2, and he was pretty friggin brutal in that to begin with. He shotguns a guy in the face at point blank in that... what were people expecting here?
But yeah, only watched the first episode so far, but I like it a lot. Fucking heeeeelllll of an improvement over the Defenders, which was just... so damn forgettable. Seriously, what even happened in that? I'm drawing a blank.
But like I said, only one episode so far. I'm still gearing up for disappointment and annoyance at some point; the last trailer featured Deborah Ann Wohl pretty prominently, and she is literally and without a doubt my single least favorite thing about the entire Marvel cinematic universe. Worse than Elizabeth Olsen, worse than Tony Stark's willingness to recruit infants to fight for him. I hate her like I hate puppy abuse. Her character needs to die already.
All the same... guess I'll go watch another episode. Maybe Jon Bernthal can override any terribleness that Wohl might bring to the table.
