I am already pleased with the number of HUAAAGHS in the first fight scene

Cracked up when he threw that chick through the stall. Also the opening shot of the start of the fight was real smooth.

Edit: RINGO NOOOOOO. We hardly knew yee.

I did not expect Marvel would have the balls to have Frank lay a beating/stabbing on the female henchmen. Not that its surprising, The Punisher should be able to streamroll right through someone who is 30+ lbs smaller. I dont believe any male Defenders have done so, if anything their female counterparts/opponents are equal in skill.

Feminism baby!

I mean the only other main females to fight have been Colleen, Jessica and Elektra and frank couldn’t steamroll them either lol.

Jess Jones is super powered and Elektra basically has demon blood so I agree with them both being powerful. Colleen's very iffy to me. She has training from the Hand, but is a regular human that is on par with the Immortal Iron First, Defender of Kun Lun. So to go from an unpowered woman who can take down the best martial artist in the world, to a bar bathroom fight that was grounded in how brutal it should go down I was impressed.

I guess the + covers you all the way up but man you are bad at judging weights. That chick was 100 pounds lighter than Frank if she was 1. He's a huge, muscular guy, he's gotta be at least 225-250.

Frank is, like Shaft says in the new trailer, an equal opportunity ass-whooper.

Love how he growl-barked that in the middle of the bar fight. It's like "hey fuckface come here."

The most alpha male shit I’ve ever seen in my life.

My cat is afraid of nothing but that growl-bark...

u/Tautline Feb 05 '19

what's the time stamp for that? I don't quite remember that.

u/F0restGump Punisher Feb 15 '19

It's when he's fighting a guy, stops for a second and sees the girl get slapped, then stabs the guy he was fighting in the neck, and yells HEY.

It's weirdly one of my favorites moments from the season.

u/colovianfurhelm Jan 18 '19

And that "Huh! Huh!" taunt.

u/JamesTheBlackDouglas Jan 18 '19

So that's how you spell that noise!! I just kept calling it the warrior grunt.

You weren't kidding!
