Don't want to be led anywhere by you, just refuting your claim that I need to read 48 years worth of comics to assess a character from a TV show.You can lead a horse to water...

... and I'm sure Marvel Fans would have loved to see their classic comics in an adaptation to Cinema !
( I mean, with fidelity to the original scenario )
I for one loved Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin!Yeah don't remind me... Iron Man 3 completely ruined Mandarin.

I see that quite differently. By developing over a shorter span and with tighter time restrictions, the MCU versions are much more focused and flavorful compared to decades of content that, while occasionally extremely good, is often contradictory and meandering. I can't even follow the X-books any more, they're so convoluted.Edit: frankly, that's when MCU lost me. They're making Marvel way too Hollywood, turning nice juicy steaks into flavorless hamburgers.

See, this just fills me with schadenfreude. I thought them throwing a big change-up like that was a lot of fun.There are definite pros and cons. MCU doesn't meander around and the comics are a contradictory mess.
But Mandarin was a perfect example of Hollywood minded people saying "all of these good and extremely important and fun details about the character are going out the window". It's using fidelity for toilet paper there wasn't even the suggestion that Mandarin actually creates villains, you know, the entire point of his character, lol, Spiderman bad guys, X-Men bad guys, etc.
Yeah don't remind me... Iron Man 3 completely ruined Mandarin.
You don't. You're free to assess the fake Hollywood punisher all you want, including calling a serial murderer neutral instead of the evil that he is. You just aren't assessing The Punisher.Don't want to be led anywhere by you, just refuting your claim that I need to read 48 years worth of comics to assess a character from a TV show.
Been there done that. Fake hollywood Punisher is best Punisher.You don't. You're free to assess the fake Hollywood punisher all you want, including calling a serial murderer neutral instead of the evil that he is. You just aren't assessing The Punisher.
Wow. That was EVIL, and I don't mean the Punisher. I can't believe you made me watch that.Been there done that. Fake hollywood Punisher is best Punisher.

Skipped six pages so I'm not sure how this thread arrived at a Hollywood discussion, but:
In my games you can play any alignment you want; as long as any and all in-character arguments, disputes, fights, and disagreements stay in character and don't spill over to the table.
Well, there's still the fact that the TV Punisher is a serial killer who murders people according to his unique personal motivation, which is pretty much the definition of evil.Two different Punishers. Not sure why there's disagreement when both agree that there are different Punishers.

You mean the Marvel-approved Punisher, who is now entering the MCU- which is an authorized Marvel Universe. So, a different Punisher from the comics, but The Punisher nonetheless. I really get the impression that you are the kind of guy that chases women out of comic stores calling them fake fans and demand people list off entire discographies when you see them wearing band t-shirts. Lots of No True Scotsman going on here.You don't. You're free to assess the fake Hollywood punisher all you want, including calling a serial murderer neutral instead of the evil that he is.
