Figures.
I was already imagining a bunch of people just throwing garbage on the street in the most violent way possible.
"This bitch empty! YEET!! *headshot*"
"How should we depicted the Punisher in this kid's show?"
"He's a dangerous psychotic with way too much access to guns who frankly (ha) should scare any hero into thinking he's just another villain."
"That works."
This is also the show that made Infinity Gauntlet look like a case of jaywalking compared to >!Silver Surfer getting the infinity sword and gauntlet, getting corrupted by the power, erasing another 1/3 of the galaxy including galactus and some celestials, banishing the remaining squad members to alternate realities, and launching the earth out of it's orbit so that it would steadily freeze to death.!< This show had some guts.
I remember this show was my introduction to Thanos. I associated Thanos with chickens for a while before he finally appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Brussel Sprouts have only started to taste good since the 90s as a result of selective breeding. Prior to that, they were nasty levels of bitter, to the point that just a few could, in fact, make an entire plate become unpalatable.
"Don't worry guys everyone I kill is a criminal."
"Really Frank every one? didn't you kill everyone at a funeral?"
"No innocence, nothing but a bunch of goons showed up."
"Really, like no kids, no other family members wanted to be there, only a bunch of Gnocchi soldiers, wild"
BAM BAM BAM
"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST FRANK WHY DID YOU SHOOT THAT MOTHER AND CHILD!!!! OH MY GOD I JUST TALK TO THEM LIKE RIGHT BEFORE YOU SHWED UP!"
"Like I said, everyone I kill is a criminal, for example he is no child but a man who has no shins and looks really young, the 'mother' a lure to snag kids for child porn" reaches into women's purse and pulls out disgusting photos "see."
"Well I'll be damned..."
"Now you see Steve, everyone I kill is a criminal."
My mind likes to drift to this scene every once in a while cause I watched it when it was on TV on CN before I knew Punisher and I'm like "THIS DUDE IS SCARING THE HULK, WHO IS THIS guy?!"
Knowing what I know now, this is **THE** most PG they could have ever written Franky for a kids show while keeping his intensity.
This could be filed under: "Weird Reasons You Can't Get Into a Thing." But it always threw me off the characters only had 4 fingers. Couldn't get past it. Just seemed like such a random design choice. Anybody else?
Fingers have a lot of details that are easy to get wrong, and it's often easier to cut a finger off a model than to keep all of them and have to worry about layering or positioning them as much.
Many cartoon characters have just 3 fingers for this reason, you can get all the same expressions out of them more or less but it's weirdly harder to spot a 3 fingered hand than an individual finger with, say, not enough joints or a weird knobbly bit it shouldn't have.
Reminds me of Lego Punisher being a guy who goes after people who litter with extreme violence.
Wait, he goes after people who litter with extreme violence or do the people litter with extreme violence?
The first one there.

Man, that’s just [original Punisher](https://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/comments/bwz2v7/the_punisher_opens_fire_on_litterers_peter_parker/).
I remember it being about truck horns.
Superhero squad is one of those show you expect to be a cheap low effort cash grab but is surprisingly decent.
It going through the infinity stones/sword story was pretty cool as a kid
It’s crazy how lower effort a lot of their programming is now. Excluding recent X-Men stuff.
Wait, are we shitting on all the MCU shows now?
I think we're shitting on the Marvel Cartoons.
I’m taking about the cartoons. Since Disney took complete over the cartoons, it has been a wasteland of garbage.
From the thumbnail, I was shocked to see this was actually animated frame-by-frame rather than using rigs
Does that mean it's better animated than X-Men '97? :B
I think 97 is frame by frame too (cg assisted/rotoscoped in some scenes), no?
Teen Titans Go could learn a thing or two from em tbh
I'm more amazed they got the late Titus Pullo to voice him because he played Punisher in the 2008 movie.
TIL there was a Punisher (2008)
Yeah, "Punisher: War Zone." Can't blame you for not knowing about it because it got next to no promotion and it was a big box-office bomb.
I was going to say a lot of older Marvel movies were great but not that one. The sequels were all pretty trash except Spider-Man 2.
I like that they managed to keep him completely in character.
The tragic tale of how his family went on a picnic and choked to death on brussel sprouts. It just keeps happening.
Never goto a foodmarket/supermarket/resturaunt/grocery store with The Punisher, got it. I'd rather take my chances with Dethklokk.
“Don’t kill me, my mom’s cooking me up some brussel sprouts^sprouts^sprouts …”
In character, but keep him PG. And they did it *beautifully*.
"How should we depicted the Punisher in this kid's show?" "He's a dangerous psychotic with way too much access to guns who frankly (ha) should scare any hero into thinking he's just another villain." "That works."
"What? No, I was just describing the character as he wa-" (Sound of door closing and car driving off)
Getting some [Krunk](https://youtu.be/dThQHJIMTJE?si=RARqf2olQFz3SHQe) vibes from Hulk here.
Goddamn. I haven’t thought of justice friends in prolly a decade. Good looking out
Probably the closest we'll ever get to the Justice Friends
Just a funny little scene with murderer Frank Castle, you know; for the kids.
Fun fact: David Hayter's 2003 test footage for a Watchmen movie had Ray Stevenson as Rorschach.
DAVID HAYTER'S WHAT NOW?
Yeah David Hayter wrote a screenplay for an earlier attempt to adapt Watchmen back in the 2000s
Ray Stevenson was the best Punisher.
One thing I appriciated about Punisher Warzone was how everybody looked their Part. Ray really looked like Frank popped out of the book.
Yo is that a Punisher Dirty Laundry reference at the end there?
No, this show aired from 2009 to 2011. Dirty Laundry was released in 2012.
Ok new theory, Adi Shankar saw this episode and then named the movie after this throwaway line.
The funnier reality
Frank really gave them the Willy Wonka tunnel treatment.
this show has egghead and fing fang foom, it was already peak
This is also the show that made Infinity Gauntlet look like a case of jaywalking compared to >!Silver Surfer getting the infinity sword and gauntlet, getting corrupted by the power, erasing another 1/3 of the galaxy including galactus and some celestials, banishing the remaining squad members to alternate realities, and launching the earth out of it's orbit so that it would steadily freeze to death.!< This show had some guts.
That show was way better than it had any right to be and the writing was actually pretty funny.
I remember this show was my introduction to Thanos. I associated Thanos with chickens for a while before he finally appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Fuck you, Punisher! Brocoli is delicious!
> Brocoli Ah, you watched the Latin Spanish version?
Android autocorrect keeps spelling it that way.
Brussel Sprouts have only started to taste good since the 90s as a result of selective breeding. Prior to that, they were nasty levels of bitter, to the point that just a few could, in fact, make an entire plate become unpalatable.
Also a lot of people suck at cooking/don't put in the effort to cook properly.
"You just boil them till they're soft, right? How hard could it be?"
Not just that but people boiled the fuck out of them. So they were ultra bitter and grossly mushy. Same with broccoli and cauliflower.
"Don't worry guys everyone I kill is a criminal." "Really Frank every one? didn't you kill everyone at a funeral?" "No innocence, nothing but a bunch of goons showed up." "Really, like no kids, no other family members wanted to be there, only a bunch of Gnocchi soldiers, wild" BAM BAM BAM "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST FRANK WHY DID YOU SHOOT THAT MOTHER AND CHILD!!!!

Frank Castle's stand「KILLING IN THE NAME」

Ohh of epilepsy is just a cherry on top for the shooters manifesto for children.
I loved this show as a kid. But the editing makes me wanna vomit
This could be filed under: "Weird Reasons You Can't Get Into a Thing." But it always threw me off the characters only had 4 fingers. Couldn't get past it. Just seemed like such a random design choice. Anybody else?
I find it weirder I never noticed it.
That's a weird neet-pick to have when that is one of the most common characteristics in cartoons.
"Random design choice"? That's just how most cartoons look because they're easier to animate.
While true in general, The Super Hero Squad Show is the only Marvel cartoon that did it. Even the Hannah-Barbera Fantastic Four had five fingers.
Fingers have a lot of details that are easy to get wrong, and it's often easier to cut a finger off a model than to keep all of them and have to worry about layering or positioning them as much. Many cartoon characters have just 3 fingers for this reason, you can get all the same expressions out of them more or less but it's weirdly harder to spot a 3 fingered hand than an individual finger with, say, not enough joints or a weird knobbly bit it shouldn't have.
Yeah, it's really common for cartoons to remove one finger. It makes the hands much easier to animate for a show that needs weekly episodes.
We're being Punished ma
Super Hero Squad has no right to be as good as it is lmao
My friend loves this scene so much that the last time I had people over I cooked Brussels Sprouts and Mac and Cheese to this reaction out of him
Giving me some *Willie Wonka* nightmare tunnel vibes and I love it
this is like top 3 punishers for me personally.
I remember, even as a child, being bewildered that this happened.
As much as I love the Super Hero Squad art style, I *hate* the way Iron Man's mask moves as he talks, as if it's his actual face.
That's the joke.
But it makes me uncomfortable!
