Trailer The Punisher: One Last Kill | Official Trailer

[Whisper-Kitten]

Frank is fuled by Rage/anger/ and i think alcohol along with his training from the military.

What about cocaine?

I have waited for this for years and am super excited to finally see it. Took long enough though.

 

[Whisper-Kitten]

Yep.

In the 1970s, Marvel was keen to cash in on various pop culture trends. So we got Shang-Chi when Bruce Lee was popular, we got Power Man and other heroes inspired by Blacksploitation films, and we got the Punisher inspired by Deathwish and similar angry guys with a gun go nuts on crime movies.

Paul Kersey would be so proud.

And it's out today

Fantastic! I will watch after dinner.

(I really enjoyed S1 of The Punisher. S2 was OK but I didn’t like it as much as S1.)


EDIT: I’m not sure what to make of that. That was … bizarre.

Based on this trailer, it looks like Frank hasn’t fully recovered from his military-induced PTSD and/or the trauma of his family’s murder. I’m guessing that the “one last kill” tag has to do with him hunting down one last bad guy from his past, which will involve him killing a whole lot of other bad guys along the way.

Frank doesn't have any super powers beyond your typically action hero. But in this version of the Punisher, Frank received a gunshot wound to the head when his family was killed, causing some physical trauma where he essential relives the experience on a daily basis. Whereas most of us will eventually move on from a traumatic event like that, he can't.

I just watched One Last Kill, and, well, I was susprised when it abrubtly ended. I thought I was getting a feature length movie but it was less than an hour. It was okay. Pretty violent, but it's the Punisher not the Therapist.

 

[wicked cool]

Was ok. Left me wanting more

I thought for sure the "One Last Kill" was going to be

Ma Gnucci herself.

I was kind of surprised that wasn't the case.

My lingering thoughts:

*I really did not appreciate the dog being killed at the beginning. Frank let the dog killer off too easy at the end.

*Why was this “special presentation” only the length of a typical TV episode (50 mins)?

*Why did he cut an X across his Marine tattoo?

*Why was Curtis a ghost? Did he die off-screen?

*Why was Frank letting the neighborhood descend into chaos? He normally doesn’t like to see innocent people suffer.

*Who was the actual “one last kill”?

*It felt like there were way too many goons in that apartment building. Where’d they all get assault rifles and the like?

*It just felt gratuitously violent for no real purpose.

*The whole bit with his family while he was at their graves was weird.

*Why did he knock all the stuff off his family’s tombstones at the end?


So much of it just made so little sense, and it felt very out of character compared to how Jon Bernthal has played Frank previously. (I note that he co-wrote this special.)

Where’d they all get assault rifles and the like?

As someone who lives in North America, this is the only question you have that really needs no explanation for us.

As someone who lives in North America, this is the only question you have that really needs no explanation for us.

As someone who grew up in North America, I still found it far-fetched. It was like a whole private army of punks with machine guns. That said, it was just one of the many things that felt off here.

Having only just recently watched S2 of The Punisher, this just felt really wrong somehow.
