Love it or hate it, the MCU isn’t going anywhere any time soon. Me, being a big time hero geek, I’m quite happy about it. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the 38th movie in the ongoing juggernaut, and puts Spider-Man in rare company. Only Thor has had four movies (I don’t really count the fourth…
I’ve seen Jon Bernthal in several things: The Walking Dead, Fury, The Accountant, Baby Driver. But in my personal opinion, he shines amazingly as the Punisher.
It’s been a long wait, but Spider-Man: Brand New Day is getting closer, and they’ve finally released the first official trailer. It has already set a record for most views in 24 hours, and is the last Marvel release before the eagerly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday. I have, to no surprise to the people who know me, watched it several times, and now am going to share some of my thoughts and things I’ve noticed.
The Defenders are leaving Netflix. What comes next?
While in many ways it is the era of hero tv (and movies), 2019 carved a bloody swath through the shows that were around. This is my look back at the series that didn’t make it to 2020.
It’s been a long, bumpy road, but the end is finally here. Russo, armed and unstable, is one faction; the Schultzes, all their money, power, and influence, personified by the relentless John Pilgrim, are another; and Frank Castle and a small group of allies are the third.
Frank’s very good at what he does, but this is a lot coming at him at once. The various factions are most definitely on a “Collision Course.”
There have been a lot of wild developments this season of Punisher, and last episode pushed several of them to the breaking point.
Billy Russo is on the loose, building an army of criminally inclined, disaffected military veterans. The Schultz family is willing to do anything to keep their secrets and further their political reach and influence. Both of those groups are coming after Frank Castle, for different reasons. Anyone think going after Castle is a good idea?
It’s been a busy season for the Punisher, as Frank and company have to deal with multiple threats. It’s a rough time to be anywhere near Frank Castle, and that shows from the first scene of this episode forward.
