[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;49977675]Amazing season, Punisher met my every expectation.
However, the moment I saw [sp]Clancy Brown and heard his iconic voice, I knew that the Colonel had to be a bad guy. Almost lost faith but the reveal finally came.[/sp][/QUOTE]
My biggest disappointment was at the dock when [sp]one of the Blacksmith's men yelled "It's been a long time, Frank" - instantly knew it was the colonel. That one line ruined what could have been a really good surprising reveal had they just stuck to Karen seeing the blonde soldier in the picture.[/sp]
[QUOTE=AaronM202;49974910]The Punisher anything is always the most violent piece of Marvel content.
The video game was the most violent marvel game ive ever played. MAX is brutal. Punishers handiwork in DD Season 2 is worse than any Marvel movie or show by far.
[editline]21st March 2016[/editline]
Except maybe Punisher: War Zone, but that was comical cartoon violence with blood thrown in. Even then, its still Punisher.[/QUOTE]
Did Deadpool not count? People's heads getting chopped off and people getting impaled and blown up and tortured and stuff.

Deadpool gets balanced out with humor, Punisher MAX is all business all the time
Anyone else think there's a way to unfuck up Joss Whedon's decision in Age of Ultron and [sp]Bring back Quiksilver[/sp] Seemed like a lot of wasted potential for one movie

If we also get a proper Ultron I'm game.

Deadpools violence is chickenshit to Punisher: MAX, comic wise.
Movie wise, its even more chickenshit compared to the entirety of War Zone or DD Season 2. :v:

Just finished season 2
great show, but I have some reservations. Haven't really heard many people's opinions on it but I can imagine the major complaints to be similar to the ones I have. I hate how it changes focus a few times: [sp]first the punisher, then elektra, then this "the hand" thing, then back to punisher etc. Should have concentrated more on one of them in particular and make the stories feed into eachother a bit more seamlessly.[/sp] The Punisher was badass though, and his scenes were easily the best in the show imho, it's a shame that the [sp]tease at the end of ep 12 when he finds all the weapons has basically no pay off, and he's barely shown doing anything at all in the last episode.[/sp] Still, great and I probably enjoyed it more than season 1 (although i might be a minority).
They really should have [sp]made the Hand and the Blacksmith one in the same[/sp]
It would have tied together both stories at the end perfectly.
There is a rumor going around that [url=www.bleedingcool.com/2016/03/22/tower-of-terror-to-turn-into-guardians-of-the-galaxy-at-walt-disney-resort-in-florida/]The Tower of Terror at Disney Parks is going to become a GoTG ride[/Url]:
[quote]If current plans (and they are subject to change, but accurate as of this posting and that is all I can ever offer) follow through, sometime in either 2017 or 2018 you will get to experience a true GotG E-Ticket at The Corpse of The Disney-MGM Studios. Fast construction timeline you say. Or the Spirit is smoking on some bad Kissimmee weed you say?
Nope. Welcome to The Guardians of the Galaxy Tower of Terror. Yes. Really. Yes, Disney wants to destroy (or make over depending on how you look at it) one of its high points of creative product in the last 25 years to tie it to a BRAND that it can’t even use to advertise and promote, in Florida that is.
You see, like almost everything these days, the genesis of this project is in Anaheim where ToT isn’t an anchor of a park (DCA), just part of its menu of offerings. A park that can take full advantage of The Weatherman’s acquisition spree (the only thing that marks his tenure as head of the world’s largest entertainment company) and is planning a major Marvel addition right next door to an old hotel on Hollywood’s dark side. WDI has pushed this concept heavily and TDA wants to do it badly.
Having to license The Twilight Zone IP from CBS, IP that most people not born prior to 1980 have little if any knowledge of — just makes it even more attractive.
Let’s forget that this is one of the best attractions Disney has ever built. We do have toon characters in Small World and Jack Sparrow soon to be in every Pirates attraction worldwide, so shilling IP by changing classic attractions isn’t something Disney is afraid to do.
They want to market it as DL’s ‘BIG, NEW THING’ for 2017 and the first of many new major Marvel attractions in DCA (and other parks not located in the Florida swamps) before The Star Wars Experience (oops, did I name drop prematurely? Happens with age!) debuts in DL in 12/18 . If they have their way, the current Anaheim ToT will close around the first oft the year and reopen before summer with an entirely new GotG based show, still (somehow I am told) centered on a haunted hotel from the 1930s. How? Who knows? Stitch and Buzz Lightyear belong in Tomorrowland, right?
The hitch right now is, naturally, WDW. They are interested in this, but they see it more as a temporary overlay to draw people into their moribund Studios park (the one they actively engage in deceptive advertising in because telling people that the real Star Wars stuff won’t arrive before 2020-21 probably wouldn’t be good for business). They (again naturally) are looking to cut the budget and the timeline because shutting the ToT next January might just finally be the straw that breaks the camel’s back (hell, even 1-2 lifestylers might tell people to not visit for more than half a day out of their 11 day on property MAGICal $11,000 WDW vacations ). At DCA, this will be the gateway to Marvel BRAND Land and has to look and act the part. TDO is whining about money and downtime (they will soon count restrooms and ODV carts and Marsha the special needs CM at The ABC Commissary that thinks she does a great Daisy Duck impression as attractions).
But right now it looks like this has the momentum needed to happen on BOTH coasts provided TDO is willing to shoulder the costs and realize this will be a permanent change, not a summer marketing deal.[/quote]

I say it is 70% chance to be BS, but it seems to justify the recent planned shutdown of Superhero HQ in Disneyland and the recent announced move of the Marvel meet and greets from Magic Kingdom to DCA, which has baffled some people.

They still can't use any Marvel associated property in Orlando and won't for a few years. Seems like the one big obstacle... and then you remember that entire area is one of the big draws of the entire park and the chances anything there will be closed for more than five minutes until Star Wars land opens are little to none.
Also, the attraction promotes itself as the Tower of Terror, and it being the Twilight Zone means nothing until you get into that door, so I don't see why IP would be a problem. Plus, it's not like the Twilight Zone is unpopular or dated or not a part of American culture like, say, Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Actually, the main GoTG characters are not part of the Universal contract, and have already meet and greet within Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World before:

There are also another thing in the rumor that points it to being possibly real as well as well.

Another thing is they recently made ToT the icon of the park, and I could see Disney Executives wanting to remove the Licensed IP from the ride but keep the core intact due to this alone. I also heard somewhere that the IP licensing agreement for Twilight Zone might be coming up for a renewal too, but I can't confirm it.
I just finished season 2 of DD annnnnnnd [sp] Elektra is easily the worst bit about this show. Her actress is terrible, her character is constantly flipping 180s and her accent is so fucking bad. I WISH they had got someone better to play her considering she's so integral to the show. I wish the whole season was about Frank because he was 10/10 and easily the highlight of the whole thing. The writing felt really cliche this season compared to s1, the action wasn't as tightly filmed either. Matt is a total sociopath now but that might just be his character development idk.
The mid series made me miss Fisk because his scenes stole the episodes they were in. He was so fucking good. He's such a fucking good villain. I much prefer the street level gang shit to the magical mystical ninja shit we got in the second half of this season. I think that's why a lot of people watch this show. The gang stuff. They need to refocus on that in s3. [/sp]

Hence why I think it is still a 70% chance it's bogus, at least on the WDW side of things. If this is true at all, I assume it will either be an easy switch over with either minimum construction, or DCA exclusive.
Hollywood Studios cannot afford more long term construction.

It might be a problem with the new showrunner, I noticed myself cringing at a lot of the cliche dialogue and situations this season, I don't remember it being that bad in s1.
I love how [sp]Frank spent the whole season with bruises on his face while Matt almost never had anything on his face, yeah he wears a mask but seriously...[/sp]

only got this feeling after episode 5-6 ish. everything up to the [sp]elektra introduction which (and you can call me crazy for this) i actually really liked (the introduction!!). i thought she was gonna go full-on manipulative and i loved that part of her character. but instead of deceit and power plays, all we got was a bleh redemption plot that failed to portray her inner struggle as anything more than dumb (and rather convenient) flip flopping[/sp]
and when you talk about cringing, are we talking [sp]about the "you can't do this - yes i can"-isms, or do you also have the hospital scene with foggy in mind? as soon as they got into that, i went "oh, we're doing THIS now" and rolled my eyes. but i was honestly pleasantly surprised, his little speech actually made sense[/sp]
still tho. liked this season more than s1. both got bogged down in dumb filler at one point or another, but this one was ultimately more enjoyable for me

I think that's a representation of who they fought plus their own fight style:
[sp]Punisher is a "fist to the face" boxer-esque fighter, and his opponents are untrained thugs whom fight the same way. Meanwhile, DD is a martial artist and he was fighting ninjas half the time, which strike at all points of the body, not just the head/face. [/sp]
[sp]Not to mention, Punisher got tortured a bit being tied up by the Irish. Lots of hits to the face taht couldn't have been blocked.[/sp]
[sp]And DD has a *lot* of body scars all over his body despite having worn armor. Plus in an early episode Foggy pointed out that he was bleeding on the base of his skull as they walked down the sidewalk. It's not as if he's invincible.[/sp]

Neither can DCA... they just got off their big expansion (well, it was four years ago, but point stands, people are just barely getting used to seeing DCA as an actual park) and Disneyland is about to go into a major expansion as well.
I didn't know there was a Parks fan here as well, by the way!

Yes, just like how Quicksilver was [I]always[/I] in the DOFP script and how they just couldn't find a way to explain Kitty Pride's powers which is why she didn't go back in time.
Huh?
I wonder why they made her do it, she didn't in the comics.
And since when could she send people back in time? I understand they tried to say it was a "secondary mutation" but that's a bullshit excuse. :what:
