Daredevil the Netflix series

[jye4ever]

You mean...the t shirt?

The whole getup.

In general, he doesn't look like FC to me at all. I think Thomas Jane gave a way nastier vibe, and that's saying something

 

[Road Blaster]

I don't care what the punisher looks like but i hate daredevil's costume.

 

[GasparZizou]

Same, it's pretty bad. I wish the cowl was better, it would improve the whole thing.

In general if the costumes are bad it won't matter if season 2 is as good as season 1.

 

[dominishin]

Yeah comic books transitions....

His mask bothers me the most. He would look a lot better with that old mask but in red.

 

[GasparZizou]

Nah, the transition has nothing to do with it, it's just a bad design.

It's not even red anymore, they just told him it was red and he believed it.

 

[RIDDICK]

I'm absolutely fine with Frank so far.
"The Punisher" had balanced Bradstreet aesthetics.
"War Zone" had giant OTT unstoppable killing machine.
Now we have a chance to see casual, realistic even, Castle.
Bernthal has this psychopathic attitude and, as a result, menacing on-screen presence.
He's also as tall as Thomas Jane.

Daredevil's costume is the same crap from S1 finale. Blegh...

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah I have no doubt Bernthal will give a great performance.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I can't wait for this!

 

[batfan08]

Even less than the outfit, I just don't dig the do. I feel like he'd have looked infinitely better with the slicked back hair he had in The Wolf of Wall Street.

I don't know. Nothing about it screams "Punisher" to me. ****, even Lundgren rocked the all-black, trench coat wearing crazy person thing, skull or not, but this just looks like...some guy.

Performance can only take it so far.

My feels

 

[RIDDICK]

this just looks like...some guy. lol

Pretty much why I like it.
Something completely different works better because Bernthal isn't good for a comic book Punisher.
Also, it's a nice contrast - regular ex-military guy against costumed vigilante.

 

[GasparZizou]

Oooh that's a good point, I hadn't seen it that way.

Yeah ok, I'll take it.

Admittedly, there's a part of me that feels like "if the Punisher was real in 2015, would he really be walking around NYC looking like a member of the Trenchcoat Mafia?" And then I tell myself, "well, maybe not, but Daredevil's got a costume," and then I say, "well, yeah, but Daredevil's ****ing blind. How the hell would he know if he looked like a maniac or not?" So, I'm sort of back and forth with it.

Is there a particular reason he had the skull T-Shirt in the comics? I know with the Jane film, his son gave it to him (which, honestly, is actually kind of great and explains why a grown *** man is wearing an exxxxxtreme skull T-Shirt that looks like something an angsty twelve year old would pick out, since, you know, one did ), and I chalked up his '70s outfit to "everyone needs a costume in the silver age."

That's good to know. I'm not familiar with the actor, but I'm glad Punisher is in good hands because I love the character. Charlie Cox was absolutely perfect casting for Matt, and while I wish he had a red costume, I'm going to love him as long as he's well written. I know you aren't a fan of a lot of Marvel's costumes (I think they're great outside of Avengers Captain America), but with this Daredevil, I don't think I would know who he was if I didn't know he was supposed to be Daredevil.

My only concern was Vincent D'onofrio because I thought he came off as cartoonish in the first season, which is a shame because I thought he was really well written. Hopefully, my feelings change! I still loved the first season!

 

[RIDDICK]

I still think that D'onofrio was great, both him and Fisk were the only thing I cared about after Ep6.

 

[Johnny1378]

I hope we get a skull on his shirt by the end.

This. I'm hoping there is an evolution to his outfit, and we at least get the skull shirt by the end. I don't really care if they don't do the entire comic book costume, white boots and all, but I hope we at least get the classic Punisher emblem.

It was like if Lennie from Of Mice and Men was a homicidal sociopath, and I thought it worked brilliantly. Was it different from what everyone was expecting? Yeah, but, for what it was, I thought it was an excellent performance with a lot of layers that seem to have slipped right by some people.

I thought he was perfectly written, but you may be right. I've read so many Kingpin comics, and it could have hindered me from appreciating his performance. When I first heard Bane in the Dark Knight Rises, I had a similar reaction to Tim Hardy. I hated it and called it cartoonish, but when I watched the film again in 2013, I loved it. Now that I know what to expect, I might really like D'onofrio's take!
