So supposedly we are getting reports that John
birth, no Bernthal Birth birth all Bernthal Bernthal.
Yes, I should have practiced that first. We are
getting reports that John Bernthal Posted on
his patreon about him returning as the Punisher
for a new Punisher show It's going to be R rated
and supposedly the main villain is going to be
a female crime boss. He also confirmed that he
is going to return in season two, Daredevil born
again and other future Marvel shows as the Punisher,
which we know and love him to do. But I was thinking
about this and I was like, who could be the female
crime boss? And I like to think it's someone
that we haven't seen in a really long time me
personally I'm thinking about Lady Tanaka the
ruthless leader of the Tanaka Yakuza who Typically,
I believe is fighting for territory in New York
City. So it fits I think it fits with the timeline
currently We have seen her on the big screen,
but not since 1989 which I think I've seen parts
of that movie. Um, but what are your thoughts,
Alex? Are you excited to see more Punisher? And
who do you think this female crime boss could
be? So I will be honest with you. I like the
Punisher character. The Punisher show is my least
favorite of the Netflix Marvel shows. Right.
It was the one I liked the least personally.
Right. Mostly because I thought they retreaded
a lot of ground over and over and over again.
that being said again i love the character i
love him in daredevil i think he is a great foil
to matt i think that john bernthal is a great
punisher and i think he plays off well with charlie
cox as the man without fear um i think the so
so short answer is what i think this is good
is they had announced this a little while ago
john's more confirming um i think what i like
is that it's not a a series i think i'm gonna
like this because it's one of the disney uh the
marvel special presentations like werewolf by
night things like that so it's gonna be like
tv movie length like 70 to 90 minutes right and
it's gonna be it that way they'll be able to
pace it fast and do a lot with it in a short
amount of time and i think that's a better way
to do Punisher In in a solo project personal
thingy as to your lady Tanaka I vaguely remember
the 1989 Punisher movie vaguely I Mean that's
probably the honest honestly, that's probably
the obvious and probably the correct answer is
that it's lady Tanaka That being said you know
what I who I would like it to be Someone new
Just give me a new character. Let's invent somebody
right? What if it was magic? You're back on the
state Jay is not gonna be happy until they bring
magic into the MCU Okay, just Disney if you're
watching okay, Kevin Feige. I know you watch
our show No, not really, but I know you watch
our show and Jay is not gonna be happy with you
until you bring magic into the MCU, okay, just
Letting you know, okay, mostly because she's
kind of broken in the head He is such a badass
character she is but she's like damaged but I
think that's what like makes her such an interesting
like I Don't know X -Men character for me. I
guess is like She is broken in the head and I
do like that. I don't know. I'm just saying Okay
Not familiar with magic. What? Yep. Magic is
the sister of Colossus, and she is taken as a
child into purgatory. Yeah, by Mephisto. Yeah,
it's like a it's like a demon realm. Yes. And
so she is a mutant. Chats ask you if she's a
mutant. Yes. And her ability is the ability to
open portals to basically anywhere. I really
liked the character in that video game, Marvel
Midnight Suns. Right. She's in that game and
she is a fun character to play in that game.
And she has a lot of very good dialogue with
the main character. She's very angsty and mad
at everybody. So yeah, she's sister Colossus.
She does cool stuff. She's neat. Yeah, she can
like, I don't know, bring a sword out of nowhere.
She has. magical capabilities. Yeah. But then
she has this like demon that's attached to her.
Oh, yeah. She can like kind of harness the power,
but she always has to has to be careful not to
let it overtake her or it could be mean like
the I don't know, the end of the world. Who knows?
Anyway, back to Punisher. I I again, I think
that doing it is a special presentation. Good
latest and obvious one. Again, I want a new character,
right? Everybody forgets Harley Quinn for example
was not invented in the comic books She was invented
for Batman the animated series and is now one
of the most beloved in Batman's rogues gallery
Let's let's do some new characters guys. Let's
let's come up with something fresh Someone cool
for Punisher to beat up and shoot You know and
we're gonna talk a little bit of more Marvel
later in the show when we get to our kind of
our quick hit segment Right for news of the week
But yeah, I think it's a good idea Would you
like a new character Jay would that would that
work for you? Um, it would work Oh wait, I just
figured I bet you I know who it is it just popped
into my head It's Vanessa because yeah, because
Kingpin is the mayor now and he's got his anti
-vigilante task force and she was doing all the
crime syndicate shit. So my guess is the female
crime boss he's going up against and she so what
they do is they won't put Wilson Fisk in the
show and they'll just have Vanessa there like
sending people out to kill Punisher because of
all the shit he did because he escaped at the
end of Daredevil born again. Right. And so Vanessa
is going to send fools after him. So that that's
my bet. It's it's Vanessa. I wanted to be Vanessa.
I wanted to be someone else. I agree with you.
You know, like maybe not like maybe just a new
character. My only issue with like coming up
with new characters, it's kind of like. Well,
I think the time and energy into that when you
just have just a massive amount of built up characters.
You know in the comics that you can easily pull
out of I don't know but like you said like Harley
Quinn Has worked. Yep But yeah now now I think
it's gonna be Vanessa again Lady Tanaka would
be fine, but I think it's gonna be Vanessa It's
already set up and so especially since it's not
a new series. It's a special presentation So
it's gonna be TV movie length. The obvious one
is to use a character They already have that
you don't have to introduce the audience to Or
hear me out. Lady Tanaka comes in trying to take
over territory, right? She's fighting Vanessa.
I like it. Then maybe Vanessa dies. Something.
Kingpin goes off. He's fucking ballistic. This
this sets up like season two Daredevil, where
he just fucking goes off the hinge. He already
is. And they already set that up. Yeah. But he
can't smoke somebody's head. Yeah, and then the
Punisher now is has to focus on like this new
ish character Lady Tanaka. That's I don't know.
I don't know. YouTube has got a great idea. What
if it's the Punisher's millennial crime neighbor,
the gentrifier hipster noir? Karen. He's just
fighting Karen. They've had good luck with these
Marvel special presentations they've done to
they did. The werewolf by night, which was good.
And then they did the Guardians of the Galaxy
holiday special, which was great. I forgot about
that. Okay. Correct. So I think they've done
a pretty good job with these. I think it's a
good thing for Disney Plus. Yeah, let's go with
it. All right, folks, let us know what you think.
Are you looking forward to the Punisher? So and
who do you think is going to be the female crime
boss who he battles against in the new Show let
us know down in the comments below I do
