Disney to break away from Netflix and start its own steaming service

Disney is breaking away from #Netflix to launch its own streaming service in 2019. This will likely affect all popular Marvel/Netflix shows like #Daredevil and Luke Cage which are streaming right now on Netflix while the Defenders and #ThePunisher are both scheduled to be airing real soon.

But that’s not all. This part of the article from News-a-rama caught my attention the moment I set eyes on it.

“The Defenders is scheduled to debut on August 18, and Marvel and Netflix have already jointly-announced new seasons for all four solo shows, as well as The Punisher, that would stretch out well into 2018 and even 2019.”

I take it Season One of The Punisher has already the makings of an Emmy Award winning blockbuster show even though it hasn’t premiered on Netflix yet. Still it’s big news to see that Punisher will get more seasons than just the first one.

Now how cool is that?

UPDATE: Glad to see that while all other Disney shows are being relocated, the original Marvel/Netflix shows are going to stay put.

About the author

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.
