For a movie that's all about Spider-Man,
0:02
people sure do have a lot to say about
0:04
the Punisher. Here's why Frank's vibe in
0:06
Brand New Day has everyone arguing. The
0:09
biggest reason is that Frank has been
0:11
[music] dialed down quite a bit for his
0:12
latest outing, at least as far as his
0:15
murderous tendencies [music]
0:16
are concerned. Remember that John
0:18
Byrne's version of the anti-hero has
0:20
slaughtered [music] a lot of people over
0:22
the past decade. According to one
0:24
intrepid Redditor [music]
0:25
who took the time to count, his kill
0:27
tally nearly reached 100 in the second
0:29
season of the OG [music] Daredevil show
0:31
alone. And that's not to mention his
0:33
overall mood and outlook on life.
0:35
[music] What you might call humorless
0:37
for lack of a better term. So yeah, it's
0:40
definitely weird to see him goof around
0:42
with Peter and essentially act as a
0:44
comic relief this time around.
0:48
>> Go home.
0:49
>> Yes, he does try to snipe Jean Grey, but
0:52
he doesn't [music] even succeed thanks
0:54
to Peter, who ends up taking the bullet
0:56
himself. In fact, Frank [music] feels so
0:59
bad about it that he stands guard over
1:01
Peter while he recovers in the hospital.
1:03
Definitely not his usual follow-up
1:05
response [music] after pulling the
1:06
trigger.
1:07
While plenty of die-hard Punisher fans
1:09
claim this light-hearted [music] turn
1:10
makes no sense when you take his
1:12
previous appearances into account,
1:14
scores of other fans have no problem
1:16
with it. As one fan wrote on the Brand
1:18
New Day subreddit, "Thought they handled
1:20
Punisher perfectly in this. He's still
1:22
rough around the edges and wants to
1:24
solve problems the only way he knows
1:26
how." They went on to say that his
1:27
relationship [music] with Peter reminds
1:29
them of his relationship with Amy Bendix
1:31
in the comics, highlighting how he often
1:33
softens up just a tiny bit when around
1:36
younger [music] people. Another fan
1:37
touched on the same point, writing, "The
1:39
chemistry between Punisher and Spidey
1:41
was really cool to watch. He's [music]
1:43
kind of like Spider-Man's crazy uncle
1:45
that looks out for him, whereas Tony
1:47
Stark was more of the fatherly figure
1:49
for him. Two polar opposite [music]
1:51
mentors that shaped Spider-Man into
1:53
well-rounded character." His overall
1:56
vibe is only one part [music] of the
1:57
ongoing discourse. Others have also been
2:00
drawing attention to what you might call
2:01
that continuity problem. As one Redditor
2:04
put it, "My only issue [music] is that
2:06
the rest of the civilians and police in
2:07
the movie didn't treat him as someone
2:10
who should [music] be arrested and were
2:11
too accepting." This is definitely a
2:14
fair point. As you mentioned [music]
2:15
before, Bernthal's version of Frank has
2:17
killed untold legions of people since he
2:20
first appeared in 2016. [music]
2:22
And he's never faced any real
2:23
consequences for it, legal ones anyway.
2:26
>> [music]
2:26
>> Yes, they do put him on trial in
2:28
Daredevil season 2, but this doesn't
2:31
result in him spending much time behind
2:32
bars, even after he says things like
2:35
this on the stand. [music]
2:36
>> Any scumbag, any any lowlife, any maggot
2:40
piece of that I put down, I did IT
2:42
BECAUSE I LIKE YOU.
2:43
>> ORDER.
2:44
Another thing to consider though is that
2:46
[music] cops have never really been much
2:47
of a problem for Frank. He's an
2:49
ex-Marine who most certainly knows how
2:51
to dodge the fuzz if he feels like it.
2:53
There's also [music] the fact that a lot
2:55
of cops actually support what he does.
2:57
Remember that a bunch of them joined
2:59
Fisk's anti-vigilante [music] task force
3:01
and sports his logo in Born Again. He
3:03
hates this, of course, but it definitely
3:05
helps [music] explain why he's able to
3:07
easily stay out of the law's crosshairs.
3:09
These issues aside, [music] the bottom
3:11
line is that the majority of people have
3:13
been enjoying the relationship between
3:15
the two [music] characters. As one
3:16
Redditor wrote, "Frank and Peter's
3:18
chemistry was so perfect and
3:20
complemented [music] the story in a
3:21
great way. I love Daredevil, but there's
3:24
no way they [music] would have had the
3:25
same dynamic." This all makes sense
3:27
considering how Bernthal and Holland
3:29
have been friends in real life for a
3:31
while now. [music]
3:32
Not only have they known each other
3:33
since they both auditioned for their
3:35
respective Marvel roles a decade ago,
3:37
they actually shot each other's audition
3:39
tapes. And according to Bernthal, he's
3:41
the one who made the suggestion that
3:42
made Holland stand out among all the
3:44
others who are vying for the highly
3:46
coveted role of Spider-Man. As he told
3:48
Jimmy Kimmel after explaining that the
3:50
young actor is an incredible athlete,
3:53
>> I give him the note, "Tom, you know,
3:54
maybe you should sort of run up that
3:56
wall, and do like a double backflip, and
3:57
then start the scene."
3:59
>> Whether or not that was truly the
4:00
deciding [music] factor, we'll never
4:02
know. But, it sure is nice to see them
4:04
absolutely killing it together on the
4:06
big screen, and keeping the magic of
4:08
movies alive.
