The Punisher Dirty Laundry: I'd have preferred an actual sequel
8 November 2017
Did anyone else even realize this existed? It flew thoroughly under my radar.

Now I'm one of the few people who really enjoyed The Punisher (2004), though Thomas Jane was hardly the best choice of Frank Castle he did a solid job and the movie was really watchable despite Travolta's best efforts.

This 10 minute short is literally Castle doing laundry and taking a couple of minutes out to talk to wheelchair bound shop keep Ron Perlman before beating up a bunch of thugs with a bottle of whiskey.

I don't understand how or why Jane & Perlman agreed to do with 8yrs after the original movie but it is somewhat overwhelming and doesn't fit with The Punisher character.

It's almost like he is apprehensive about even helping! I suppose this is a harmless enough watch for fans but brings nothing new to the franchise and won't help with getting The Punisher into the real Marvel universe.

The Good:

Thomas Jane

The Bad:

I don't know why it even exists

Frank Castles behavior is out of character

Perlman is wasted
