>>80782674I'll be honest I kind of agree. I love the punisher. The Romita Jr Warzone was my first foray into him and once I got my hands on Ennis punisher and welcome back frank. Well that alongside the Joe Kelly Deadpool felt like a wave of kick ass washing over my teenage malaise created by the clone saga and all the other gunk of the 90s as a marvel fan. Kept me going up until Marvel Civil War ruined it again for another few years too.
But as much as I dig punisher....he has no arc. He kinda can't, hes like street level hulk. A force of nature. He might show glints of personality, pathos, drama. But for punisher to BE punisher he can't really have development. Even interpersonal relationships can only be kinda fleeting things. So a show would be kinda hard to make work without fucking up the character and still retaining viewer interest throughout.
That being said if we got a telling of the Ennis stories spanning the ma gnucci stuff up until Nixon Island....id be okay i think with that.
As for street level magic. Yeah i dont know of many street level MAGICIANS.
The closest i can think of is street level supernatural shit. Which could be cool. Like id love a show starring Blade, Franke Drake, and hannibal king.
