[@bobbyg1720]

Turk is the Netflix Marvel meme

[@jordancrooks6752]

BobbyG17 so true

[@pierce8878]

Haha yeah classic Turk

[@gabrielidusogie9189]

In the comics he's always getting punched and snitching

[@misternobody5600]

I bet this baby will not jam remember from Daredevil

[@TVXQsam]

true! 😹😂 but i'm callung him the gun seller in all NEYFLIX'S MARVEL series. 😂😁

[@chananabips7009]

Kinda disappointed with the lack of damage on Billy's face

[@kapnerad]

Other comic book reference missed: When Frank and Micro steal the guns from the NSA and Frank scares off two NSA agents with a flamethrower, shooting out the back of the truck/van that the guns were in, that's a recreation of a scene in the graphic novel Welcome Back Frank where Frank toasts a bunch of mobster wiseguys...with a flamethrower standing in the back of a van.

[@HighRoll-]

Aaron David Kapner recreation or just a tested highly effective combat strategy?

[@samuelsurfboard9887]

I didn't even know Stan Lee was even shown in the Punisher

[@ThusharBangera]

Was he?

[@jacobangeles5539]

Punisher's Beard was a Reference to the War Zone Comics.

[@Cheyno2008]

One of my favourite series on Netflix loved it!

[@Xan_dur]

Whenever I heard someone say, "Agent Orange", I thought of Larfleeze. Yes, I know Larfleeze is a DC character. I just never heard of the Agent Orange from Marvel before watching this video.

[@GeneralBulldog54]

Also a Stardust crossover with Russo and Murdock's characters playing respectively the younger and older versions of the same character (and then there's in movie Janet van Dyne playing the antagonist in that, MCU actors all play opposite each other at one point or another).

[@glittergirlart]

Been waiting for this 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@crueltyfreegains3459]

Line that Crossbones says to Captain America in Captain America: Civil War

[@unknown-sb6zv]

It the first episode hammer fight scene there is a song called "hell broke luce" by tom waits playing. This song is about a marine who killed himself due to allegations of war crimes.

[@officerspooder]

I wish we would've seen what happened to the minigun at the end of daredevil season2

[@kaely7205]

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VID

[@smokeofmist]

A Marvel Series without a Stan Lee cameo is like an Oscar without Jack Nicholson and his thick black shades.

[@starrxhoney_02]

Can’t wait for the season 3

[@mcnuttington7122]

I thought the one about lewis and taxi driver was going to be timothy mcveigh instead bickle

[@yoda908]

Please let's get a Punisher and Spiderman teamup just like the animated Spiderman series. I would love to see how Marvel handles Spiderman's spider mutation on the big screen. Bring in Chris Walas to do the visual effects. And no dissrespect but that Black Widow easter egg feels much more like a nod to the MCU Black Widow. Frank Castle and Natasha have history in the comics and have teamed up; even if Frank is against it. Watch Avengers confidential: Black Widow and Punisher. It literally has Punisher wanting to kick Nick Fury's ass.

[@giuseppecastiglione1709]

Castiglione is my surname, I guess I’m related to punnisher

[@randomhank]

That mustang did not deserve to die like that

[@jmo2475]

Rambo talk on the radio to get Franks attention was cool.

[@1coteca]

@1:18 glad to know the punisher has italian blood!

[@amcdo224]

Where tf is Erik Voss?

[@korowheke3182]

ah, I was wondering where the Stan Lee cameo had got to

[@lukashabermann9119]

last Episode before Billy become Jigsaw. He is in a Picture on a Wall

[@TheLolMan990ify]

“Accidentally”

[@soloinaeternumodium7841]

Yea sure make the Netflix characters cross over Into Disney and then all the Netflix characters will be PG rated and be ruined if you want to cross over

[@snuggles7498]

I wonder if they'll bring in "bushwhacker" from punisher war journal with his cia background and all.

[@tylerjaynes822]

Daredevil 1+2 remains the number 1 spot for Marvel shows But Punisher is a sturdy season 2 Defenders being number 3(probably) and the rest are too inconsistent to be numbered

[@The_Wanderr]

not the same mustang Sam

[@mayhemdancersinger1]

what about the nod to american psycho tho !! the comparisons between billy russo and patrick bateman

[@danielnatzke6733]

NOOOO I hope Curtis stays on the good side

[@kieranschafer5180]

Im so sad that Billy's handsome face is forever ruined

[@joeyzilla6912]

That wu tang clan shirt with micro son was wearing

[@hs951]

Can we get fimo to break down videos..?

[@OddHunter5504]

That was A 69mustang not a 68

[@BoringMan]

Randomly click on this and was surprised to see my boy sammy. Wtf

[@sassyb58]

Lov plugs cuz otherwise we dont know!

[@esegueydani3848]

In the 2004 film Russo gets thrown into a recycling bin

[@saltoftheearth8358]

Not the same mustang .. one is fastback the other is a mach 1

[@Triforce75]

Holy shit Sam Bashor!?

[@scunnurtman2015]

To be honest this was my favourite of the Netflix series followed closely by daredevil

[@IamGroot786]

I still think that Jessica Jones has been the best so far.

[@jamretro1336]

Hope Kane eh, not really

[@midnightjacket9622]

Agreed, I was addicted to the Punisher from start to finish. It was awesome.

[@dawngrrrl]

Yeah it was fantastic. Second fave closely behind Daredevil for me.

[@Itlivesinthewall]

monzx3 I pray that's a joke.. lol

[@notamimic7253]

Was I the only one who realized billy Russo is a member of the goddamn assassin brotherhood

[@ZaberAnsaryOfficial]

Not A Mimic he has an Assassin Wrist Blade type thingy from Assassins creed

[@alphacountdownlists7111]

Thank god I thought I was the only one that nerded out when I seen that

[@weed3728]

Zaber Ansary * a hidden blade lmao

[@jamretro1336]

I thought that the whole way through.

[@032_m.alfathcirrus5]

he went rogue, deflected to the templars.

[@ZaberAnsaryOfficial]

Wow, Stan Lee actually had a cameo, I thought why would he not appear...

[@GeneralBulldog54]

In The Defenders shows Stan cameos as a cop but here he's a marine.

[@jules.c168]

Nobody ever talks about Billy’s assasins creed hidden blade disappointment

[@eduardochavez7477]

Jules.C how disappointing

[@vubinh1998]

Jules.C I thought I was the only one who notice that

[@derekimeri8402]

Yea wtf was that

[@DropBearJroc]

Cause it wasn't an Easter egg. Those weapons do exist outside of that bloody game.

[@jeffb-c]

J-Roc yeah, but the games solidified the weapon as a pop culture icon

[@kivonrahim]

So if Billy Russo made a reference to Full Metal Jacket... Doesn't that mean Private Pyle is actually Wilson Fisk?

[@chancepaladin]

Yes! :D

[@ryanquick2168]

Lmao

[@chuckfinley612]

I rest my case...!

[@tylerjaynes822]

I'd love to hear Fisks weird speech patterns and autistic yelling of the line, "I AM IN A WORLD OF SHIT"

[@survivorkg4606]

ooh shit....

[@OxtlawX]

Who would pay money just to watch Punisher vs Red Hood or Winter Soldier?

[@WilliamUniverse]

Gamer-ish [TMT] $500.00

[@dr.little7311]

+shannon skits I would if they were able to work out the rights.

[@joeydiaz507]

How many rounds would floyd go with Conor in MMA?

[@madscientist4890]

We waiting on screw attack to do it...

[@RicardoNecrofear]

Be my guest: /VWkLH97mMdU?t=3m39s

[@tyj.8871]

I LOVED WATCHING PUISHER. It was probably my favorite out of the all the Marvel Netflix Series

[@wizology_]

I loved the puisher too

[@kellanfeng]

Who’s puisher? PUNISHER

[@ichmagsieben]

Me too!! Jon did an amazing job portraying Frank ✨✨

[@revuman]

I didnt notice when Billy was reading Dorian Gray, but it´s the first thing I though when Punisher forced him to watch himself in the broken mirror. It was like Dorian Gray portrait.

[@llewengarcia2245]

Revujo Or maybe because Ben Barnes played Dorian Gray

[@revuman]

Llewen Garcia I was not aware of that before this video. I knew him from WestWorld

[@soupierobject1672]

Seriously who else thought punisher was the best marvel series

[@sostef]

"Hope we get a 2nd season..." With those ratings it's pretty much guaranteed!

[@fakuri913]

Stefanie Vickers nah, I want another the defernders with the punisher and spiderman in it

[@Killer4fun]

Tell that to the Firefly fans...

[@JonF-iy1wp]

Erwin Smith spiderman will probably never be in any of the shows. The best we can hope for is a daredevil cameo in a spiderman movie, and even that's super unlikely

[@acerumble4991]

2nd season confirmed by Netflix

[@madhukiran4037]

Speaking of ratings, what's up with rotten tomatoes and metacritic giving very low ratings for the punisher!? IMO punisher season 1 was as good as Daredevil if not better (as is accurately reflected in the IMDb ratings) But does the media have a hidden agenda? I read a LOT of articles that feel like hit pieces against punisher going so far as to say Jon's acting was very 'unidirectional' and that they are glorifying gun violence. Don't they get that it is fiction!? Also Jon's acting is amazing IMO. MSM, what's up!!?

[@natedawes8989]

I personally feel that the ending tied punisher’s story up too well. The punisher seemed too satisfied, he has no continuing motivation, or so it seems.

[@MYNAMEISFROWNER]

Nate Dawes I think that's because Russo will return as jigsaw.

[@JackVanFleet]

I think it works since it sets up an opposite for punisher, Frank who always wants revenge has found peace at the cost of Russo who'll likely want revenge thus making him a parallel to punisher

[@Hamza.Han38]

I know this is a 4 year old comment but I have just finished s1 lmao. So whatI wnated to say is that I think that they made it so it could just end there and the story is done, but if it did well they could make a s2 with billy as jigsaw

[@thasixsage]

A Luke Cage Reference missed : when Frank is talking to Micro’s son, his son has on a Wu Tang shirt which is the group that was heavily used during Luke Cage season 1

[@Donnosaurus]

Suprim Allah oh I thought it was from luke cage season 2...

[@niquenique_4]

Donné Visser. Luke Cage only has one season.

[@thasixsage]

unique caleb he was being a smartass

[@301Made]

hows that a easter egg or reference

[@thasixsage]

*luke

[@LarryBonson]

Turk is Hydra Bob of the MCU

[@Fordman7575]

The Bullet Mustang was a green 68 fastback. The Mustangs in Punisher were a blue 69 Coupe/notch back and a red 2015-2017 S550. Not quite the same.

[@cmohr6998]

Fordman7575 its a 1970 fastback in punisher

[@robcampion9917]

either way not the same

[@momololo3007]

An easter egg i remember is when one of the workers in episode one mentions that frank likes his hammer, which is the same line tony said about thor after cap asked him to put it down

[@deganhardt77]

Tied with DDS1 for the best series so far.

[@Mr_N0_0ne]

I would have to say daredevil season 2 is my favorite than punisher.

[@MrAnonnymous]

Stan Lee was also on the bus stop advertising in an episode can't remember which one

[@MrAnonnymous]

Definitely Punisher.. I remember calling it out when I saw it.

[@prabhu.dark.]

Hey Mando

[@keysepulliam]

Micro looks like Kenny Omega

[@SHEEMBA]

Bang!

[@thestank3]

I’m glad someone else noticed.

[@yungndb]

0:24 the best pun I've ever heard in my life

[@alcxy8563]

double whammy

[@blakesmittty6066]

I loved the punisher

[@cmohr6998]

Madoni drives a 1970 Mustang GT, not a 1968 Bullitt like Steve McQueen... very different cars.

[@FullBlownRedneck]

Chris Mohr Actually it's a 1969, not a 1970. There are 4 headlights instead of 2.

[@kurtiskraai9374]

There's no such thing as a 70 gt grande mustang. That car had a trunk with no fastback it's a Grande the absolute cheapest mustang of that body style

[@chicken8169]

I loved it!!

[@joseguzman1728]

Reference to 2004 Thomas Jane Punisher in Finale episode: "Was the body bag necessary?" Micro says this to Madani echoing the opening scene in the movie where Frank fakes being shot.

[@jetstreamsam99]

Frank was actually shot in that movie.

[@childeater7327]

Turk is the one above all

[@clarisapolk7050]

I just rewatched the punisher season 1, now that Disney owns it. It's still sooo good. It's actually better, the second time.

[@SoulofPimpC]

The fight scene with C. Thomas Howell is almost the same choreographing, beat for beat, as the death of The Comedian in The Watchmen.

[@michaelserna15]

pony boy aged like cheese

[@whoimpala4187]

Still won't watch agents of shield

[@DarkReaperTV]

dont its not worth it

[@ALEXsCinematics]

Your loss!!!!

[@EddieNgatia]

YOUR LOSS

[@michaelfan86]

Definitely your loss..

[@GameHopping]

The Ghost Rider parts were good.

[@mattmobilee]

SAM!! Good to see ya!

[@rafaelalodio5116]

I think Punisher's violence was toned down for the series, because if he was the comic version (or even the movie ones) he would definitely had killed that Latino boy in the first episode instead of saving him, he was a criminal anyway.

[@williamceyrolles4914]

I kind of remember seeing the words Kitchen Irish in the first or second episode, which was the name of one of the Punisher Max storylines

[@Rogue428]

When Russo is trying to contact Frank over the radio, he uses Frank's callsign "Raven". That's John Rambo's callsign in First Blood. Then Frank goes up into the woods to meet with his friend who shoots him with the bow and the two take on an armed team in the woods using improvised traps and tactics like in "First Blood".

[@shabloinkz]

My mom hates John bernthrol... idk why but it annoys me

[@alcxy8563]

punch her

[@lightseraphim6816]

Probably because he's a Jew.

[@TrineDaely]

I’m thinking there were nods to Dolph’s take on Punisher, but I’d have to go back and compare.

[@jairoukagiri2488]

The knife play could go into that and the Thomas Jane one, depending on the exact methods. Sounds more like DD S2 when he survives the boat explosion with Marine - ninja skill.

[@logd27]

Micro says a line “Was the body bag really necessary!?” When he faked his death in front of his family. I’m almost certain that Thomas Janes’ punisher has that same line when Frank fakes his own death infront of the Mafia. He comes out of the body bag and says “was the body bag really necessary?”

[@dawngrrrl]

I loved the book picks for Frank and Billy, thanks for pointing them out. Perfect choices for those characters.

[@curlyj2059]

It's been bugging me because i've seen no one talking about it but doesn't Micro look sooooo much like Gene Wilder!??

[@joshcowart2446]

The actor who plays Louis dad is in Ironman 1 and 2

[@gabemcdonald8941]

ily sam

[@RyeThePopGuy]

I'm early let me make a joke.... My forehead

[@christianwestling2019]

Its not literally the same Mustang. Steve McQueens car had two lights. Madanis had 4. Great example of young peoples over-use of LITERALLY.

[@SHIBUMIG]

The PUNISHER THE COOLEST , BADEST and REALISTIC MARVEL CHARAKTER OF ALL ! ! ( Sorry my Bad English ) tyler

[@petrino]

i just wish every episode was like episode 10.

[@TartaruzTheGreat]

Petrino episode 11, 12 and 13 were amazing too

[@menace6734]

If The Netflix Marvel Series are all apart of the mcu. Then I wonder what happened to Frank Castle during the blip and Endgame

[@LolAddictor]

Just finished it and boy oh boy BILLY’S FACE GOT FUCKED UP.

[@rubixfilms687]

Yeah Jigsaw's face could have been better. But I still loved season 2.

[@lucassergiomacedo3932]

Just now watching episode 06 of the first season I found a waning moon drawn in the lower right corner of the scene at 20:58. Is there any relationship with Moon Knight? :O

[@sv0553]

I'm from future and I've watched punisher season 2 ........and that was great

[@itx.louiee]

The Punisher and Nick Fury will make a dynamic duo on the big screen. Who agrees?

[@xfactor5326]

I dont give a shitt about commics but the story of the series is MUUAAAahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............

[@tikycz8261]

I’m on S2E13 now tonight is the night Thursday 21May 2020

[@Ay_Yo_WTF]

He could have played cable in the deadpool movie.. instead of thanos playing him..

[@Donnosaurus]

Been waiting for this

[@badcontent381]

Donné Visser I see that with the icon

[@lemuntt3619]

The makeup job for Billy was somewhat a disappointment in season 2

[@emilioortiz7171]

5:04 obviously this particular comment didn't age too well

[@eddieklein7288]

Agents of shield is a different universe than the MCU be cause coulson is still dead in the mcu

[@dannydevito1038]

5:01 I know I’m late to this but the make up is horrible for jigsaw in season 2

[@pello3814]

were these puns really funny back in 2017???

[@MShane93]

This guy is definitely my favourite Narrator on this channel! wish he did more vids!! I love the other guys too, just love this guy a bit more some how haha great content as always

[@theeverchosen1504]

Garth Ennis is the best Punisher writer

[@IamBerrii]

SAMMMM!!!! Great review!!

[@Kompazine]

Lol yeah idea that billy could have had cool makeup aged terribly

[@TheJeffGood]

DO MARVEL RUNAWAYS PLEASE!!!
