Some of the goofiest, most dogshit writing I've seen from Disney Marvel in a while.

An entire block of NYC is just rampant with crime, with the NYPD unable to do anything about it. Subtle political messaging about how liberal cities are harsher on their own police forces, than on violent criminals, or just stupid writing? Where are the cops at? Where's the National Guard? Where are the fucking SUPERHEROES WHO CALL NYC HOME?! It was comical, but not in a funny way, believe me. It reminded me of two things, Death Wish 3, and Spider-Man 2 (the game), and neither of those are complimentary comparisons. The special effects were very amateurish, imo. The cgi blood squibs were very poorly rendered. It was bland and formulaic. Of course, Frank is gonna run into the punk who killed the dog at the beginning, and he's only dying because it was a dog. If he threw a turtle in the way of an oncoming truck, the writers wouldn't give a shit, I'd say. Fucking John Wick. This was kinda shit, ngl. 6/10.

I'm specifically speaking on his appearances in Rebels, Rouge One, and Shadow Lord.

He's been reduced to a goddamn slasher villain. Lumbering, slow, but "intimidating". His climactic scene is Rouge One is cool, but he failed to retrieve the Death Star plans because he, in my opinion, fucked around. He failed to capture/kill Ezra and company because he fucked around. He failed to kill Ashoka because he, you guessed it, couldn't because Filloni refuses to part with his alien waifu. And most recently, he's failed to kill anything more than a single old Jedi because he fucked around. Dude doesn't even speak a single word. On top of that, I can't help but feel that adding Vader into the story just cheapens it, not allowing it to stand on it's own without adding in the most popular villain of the franchise. Vader is constantly being hindered by pre-established movie/Disney canon. With other shit he's shown to be able to to in canon, the plans should not have been able to escape his grasp. He should have cut through the dozens of nameless grunts with blaster rifles in seconds, using the force to yank the plans out of the hands of the poor fool who was carrying them. Ashoka Tano should never have survived against Vader, let alone an out of practice Obi-Wan, who went on to hand Vader a second humiliating defeat, only to just walk away before finishing the job again. Maul, as skilled a duelist he is, shouldn't have lasted very long against Vader considering his physical and mental state, but hey, plot armor.

Vader is just added to arura farm, make the fans go crazy for a second, then just fail at his task again and again without so much as a stern talking to by Palpatine. I don't like it.

That's all I had to say, thank you reading.

What I expected from Punisher: OLK - A serious, thrilling, and not at all stupid 44-minute pilot for a new Punisher series. What we got -
