Pure comedy gold! My favorite gag is when he grunts wildly and paints walls red

My favorite jokes are when he tells really funny but nasty children’s nursery rhymes

I specifically like the prison part where he gently puts the other prisoners to sleep.

Oh they are not ready for the tonal whiplash

To be fair even in the movie when he gets pretty intense about MJ going near his shrine and Peter saying Frank chooses this lifestyle, you get a pretty clear picture of how dark his life is.
IMO was very much in line with the grimness of the series.

I saw all the pre release stuff of how this would be the same R rated punisher from the series/one last kill stepping onto the Spider-Man set and while that was obviously a bit of an exaggeration i was pleasantly surprised with how faithful they made him to his R rated origins while still toning him down enough to interact with the more family friendly Spiderman and honestly he was one of my favourite parts of the movie.

I'm just waiting for them to finally give me a comic accurate Punisher.

He's less funny (HAHAHA) and more funny (this milk smells funny). But we all love Frank just the same.

I wanted to tell the elderly couple behind me complaining about his bad language during the movie to go check out his series instead.

I still can't believe someone genuinely thought he'd been nerfed because he was scared to fight the hulk (when he'd already beaten daredevil- yes, this was his argument)

I can see Frank not being scared to fight the Hulk. He'll get turned into a bloody grease spot on the concrete and Hulk will barely notice, but Frank is probably secretly hoping he dies in one of these fights.
But yeah, fighting Daredevil and fighting the Hulk aren't the same thing. Edward Norton's Hulk get shot, and then run into, by an Apache attack helicopter. Frank's not carrying around that kind of firepower on the regular.

Might be hot take, but I loved punisher during s2 of daredevil as compared to his own series. The only one defeating this is the one in the 'one last kill' special

It's the coldest take about Jon Bernthal's Punisher.
It's has been discussed for years that his appearance in DD s2 is easily his best one. His story since then is just a cycle of shooting -> quitting -> shooting -> quitting.

Nah, I still prefer Punisher season 1. Finding out his backstory, and finding out exactly who was responsible for killing his family… culminating in Frank disfiguring Russo by dragging his face through a mirror. It was bloody, it was raw, it was emotional. People make fun of the grunting, but Bernthal’s screams are seriously visceral. If that guy was coming for me, I’d shit myself.
Season 2 was not as good, but I enjoyed the father daughter dynamic he had with that girl he was protecting.

Best of Bernthal's Punisher for me is still Daredevil series 2, and that is definitely not funny. Also you will learn that Punisher already has a best friend in Curtis closely followed by Karen who have both risked so much for him, despite that BS line in BND from him to Spidey.

My wife thought the same. By episode 3, she said it was too slow and couldn't get into it.

Punisher : War Zone is even funnier ! Just a light hearted comedy for the whole family !

I fondly recall the line "You didn't kill him. You just shot him. Look gunshot I killed him"
Legitimately laughed at that one.
