No Fantasy Crap Allowed in Punisher!
I love it when The Punisher is grounded in reality. When Marvel’s The Punisher premieres on Netflix sometime in November (Nov. 10th?), you won’t see any fantasy worlds nor super-powered beings, monsters, ghosts, dragons, or magical beings running around in the show. Just ask Jon Bernthal who spoke with Entertainment Weekly today about what will we won’t see in the show.
“We are stripping down every supernatural element,” Jon Bernthal says. “This show is different. It looks different. Frank is a character rooted in the most basic human emotions… He’s a comic-book character, but he doesn’t fly, he doesn’t have X-ray vision. He’s an unbelievably skilled soldier who’s been very, very angry and very, very hurt.”
And that makes it A-OK for fans like me. I’d rather see Frank appearing solo in stories grounded in reality than see him appear in stories chock full of overblown fantasy, cartoon, and superhero style crap that’s been saturating Marvel Comics in recent years.
Owosso Harpist
Sherry Konkus lives in Owosso, MI. She is the proud owner of the Camac Athena EX Concert Grand Harp named "Grover" and is also the proud author of The Punisher Harp Zone. Sherry is the one who came up with the idea of portraying The Punisher from Marvel Comics as the punishing harpist who plays the harp in memory of his family who was killed by the mob years ago.
