Now the show is allegedly delayed!

From Comic Book Resources— “A recent report surfaced from Verne Gay of Newsday that says Marvel and Netflix are delaying the show’s launch, in addition to the recent removal of the show from New York Comic Con. The report says it is aiming for a release sometime in the late fall and is in direct response to the Las Vegas shooting.”

Have heard: Netflix will delay mid-Oct. launch of #ThePunisher (which also dropped out of #NYCC) until late fall, citing Las Vegas massacre.

It seems Netflix was orchestrating a surprise drop this weekend, hence all the teases without release dates over the past few weeks. It isn’t hard to surmise why Marvel and Netflix decided against that, as the character is particularly violent and of a much darker tone than the rest of the Marvel Netflix series. That’s saying something when one of those shows is Daredevil. The studios also canceled an event in Paris that would have taken place simultaneously alongside New York Comic Con. The first two episodes were to be streamed for fans, with the rest dropping on Netflix soon after. We’ve reached out to Netflix and Marvel for clarification, and neither studio has confirmed the show is being delayed.

They’re pulling our legs. I know they are. But I greatly understand why are they doing this in the wake of what happened in Las Vegas late Sunday night into Monday morning. After the Las Vegas incident, Marvel and Netflix both made a wise move to save the excitement of The Punisher series for another day until the ordeal dies down after awhile. And honor the memory of the victims of the massacre.
But I can’t understand it. How come why they decided to cancel and delay The Punisher while allowing all other gun-themed panels including The Walking Dead and Justice League panels go on at the New York Comic Con without a hitch? It doesn’t make any sense, even when there are multitudes of mass murders going worldwide big and small and none of the foreign and domestic media are cancelling their movies, TV shows, and comic con panels and promos because of them.
At least I’m happy to know that The Punisher airing on Netflix is not going to be pulled off the air permanently and that the show’s hype will be reignited again at the very right time, I hope.
How can I see The Sweetest Punisher Scene on Earth if they delay the show’s airing and cancel panel events!?

Why does The Punisher play the harp?

It’s easy to imagine The Punisher shooting up criminal hideouts and blowing off the heads of thugs and mob bosses as the ultimate punishment for their crimes. But it’s hard to imagine (and believe) that there is also very gentle side to The Punisher no one knows about except for The Defenders (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist), Microchip (aka David Linus Liberman), and Spider-man (aka Peter Parker) who actually saw and became amazed at him doing something no one has ever thought he could do with his violent hands– play the harp. A gentle stringed musical instrument no one could ever believe that The Punisher would have such talent and ability to use his otherwise destructive hands to gently and tenderly pluck and caress its strings.

Indeed, it’s very hard to imagine and believe that the Punisher’s violent hands that brake bones, strangle necks, and punch out guts are the very same hands that softly and tenderly pluck, caress, and gracefully sweep across the strings of the harp.

Why does he do it, you asked? Because Frank is doing this in memory of his family whom he communes with through songs, poems, and prayers as he gracefully wave his battle-scarred arms and hands across the strings to fill his private family shrine with harp music that moves The Punisher to joyful tears.

Where did the Idea of The Punisher and his Harp come from?

It’s a concept I, Sherry Konkus made up myself. It combines my new found obsession with The Punisher that I had since 2014 and my life long love for the harp. It is the very best concept I ever made. This is my version of The Punisher from Marvel Comics who is portrayed by me as the punishing harpist who plays the harp in memory of his late family who got killed by a criminal mob years ago and whenever he needs a break from waging a one man war against organized crime.

The Punisher was created by Gerry Conway with the help of artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru. His name coined by Stan Lee. The Punisher is owned and trademarked by MARVEL.

The idea, concept, and inspiration behind The Punisher’s portrayal as The Punishing Harpist who plays the harp in memory of his family is in fact my own. Sweetest. Idea. Ever.
