Uncle Pu's personal drama received a lot of praise. And this one is one of the few that throws cold water on it. Because of Jon's performance, he fell in love with Frank Castle, so his expectations for the episode are naturally high. Presumably because of this, it is more harsh than a filter that brings in love.
The main clues of the play are as follows: Frank is involved in the drug smuggling incident by the Kandahar military, and unknowingly becomes the executioner of silence. After he was discharged from the army, he was mistaken for a whistleblower, leading to the death of the whole family. Frank wants to find out who's behind it and execute his revenge; Madani, an NSA agent, goes to Afghanistan to investigate a drug incident and seek help from the local police. The police were silenced and she was transferred back to the United States. Under the resistance of her superiors, she plans to continue the investigation in private and give an account to the friend who was silenced; the intelligence analyst Micro of the National Security Bureau received the video of the execution of the Afghan policeman, and sent the evidence to Madani for a sense of justice, but the head of the National Security Bureau was attacked. chase. After his fake death, he continued to work in secret, found Frank, the party involved in the Kandahar incident, and planned to cooperate with him to protect himself; Lewis, a young veteran, fell deeper and deeper in PTSD symptoms, and gradually lost control of his behavior, threatening people including Karen and advocating restrictions on guns. The safety of innocent members of the public, including MPs; above, it is clear that the first three threads revolve around the same thing, while the fourth thread has nothing to do with the first three. Combined with the current reality of gun crime in the United States, the screenwriter added a fourth clue, obviously to create a contrasting character to defend Punisher, the violent vigilante who is best at using guns to bring death to a certain extent. At the same time, it cuts into the humanistic theme that conforms to the identity of Punisher's "veteran", trying to enrich the different aspects of the character's character, expressing concern and reflecting thinking. The ideal is plump. Just the results are skinny. This forcibly inserted "trauma of veterans" is as blunt as a "political mission". This "humanistic care" line can be more closely integrated with the main plot. After all, the people who were used to transport drugs in Kandahar were American soldiers who wanted to be loyal to the country. If Lewis' series of psychological problems were caused by this, it would be more convincing than it is now, and it would be more ironic that Frank had to eliminate each other. As a victim of the same incident with the exact same stance, Frank has taken a seemingly similar, yet very different approach - wouldn't it make more sense to compare? And now, the screenwriter obviously had to add an extra line for political correctness and the need to clean up Uncle Punishment when the main story had already been written. The screenwriter was unwilling to make changes to the main line that had been written, so he simply and rudely made a 1+1. This is like a sandwich. If you adjust the filling ratio properly, it can enrich its content and taste; if you just press another piece of bread on the outside of the bread, it will only make people feel redundant and bloated. . Today, this unrelated story line is completely separated from the main line, which not only distracts the audience's attention from the main story, but also delays the rhythm and weakens the tension. It has also become the most pale and isolated part of the whole play. You will find that removing this line has no effect on the basic direction of the entire play, especially on the hearts of the characters. In addition, the screenwriter also explained and paved the way for all the above story lines in the first episode. It's like a radio workout, call 1234 first, then in the second episode, call 2234 again, until you repeat it eight times. Oh no, 12 times. All the clues are connected in parallel, without crossing each other, and without chemical reactions, until they are finally collected together. Instead of bringing one out one by one, following the vines, the climaxes come one after another. Of course, there is not no way to lay out all the clues first, and then wrap them up little by little. But the premise is that all clues are intrinsically related. In the process of exploration, horizontal connections are found, and one link is linked, so that when it finally comes to an end, one can pick up the whole situation and give people a smooth and incisive feeling. That would be a gorgeously upgraded Easter egg! There is no such easter egg in this show. First of all, one of the clues is completely unrelated to the other. Secondly, there is no good horizontal connection between the first three parallel articles. Therefore, this method of juxtaposing all the clues is only boring and meaningless. The above is a matter of plot planning. The problem with the characters is bigger. The reason why Uncle Punishment produces personal dramas. Because of the wonderful description of him in dd2. Why is the penalty uncle of dd2 so eye-catching? The neat and tidy use of violence against violence is certainly one of the reasons, but it is by no means the only reason. Uncle Pu has two most moving lines in dd2. Once, in the face of dd's compromise and wavering, he almost reluctantly said, "Cross my line and you won't be able to go back." In dd2, Mathew and Kingpin sat on opposite sides of the talking table. But Frank and Kingpin were on the other side of the bar. It's a confrontation between pros and cons. dd still represents the social, common and national laws, but Uncle Pu and Kingpin stand on the opposite side of the world. They have [the same kind of breath]. These ubiquitous hints make people never forget that PUNISHER is an anti-hero; one is the daughter's picture book nursery rhyme that he recites silently every time before he kills. "one batch, two batches, penny & son", and the "Semper Fi" that he couldn't help answering - his loneliness permeated everywhere. The despair of losing a loved one, the clear choice of his own position, made it clear that Frank was the enemy of society. At the same time, he also Not villains and villains. dd doesn't want him to die, but doesn't want to let him out; Kingpin wants to let him out, but also wants him to die. Frank Castle is isolated from everyone. At the same time, he also alienates everyone. Original comic This trait has also been emphasized countless times. The positive hero is not accepted, and the villain is dead and alive with him. This is the inevitable result of being a punisher. This strong character trait is not directly told to the audience in dd2, but it makes people subtly I got it. Even this inadvertently created the wonderful chemistry between Frank and Karen. The first split between Karen and Mathew stemmed from differences of opinion on punisher. Since then, the relationship between the two has fallen below the support level, and never again Pick up. In turn, Karen's deep understanding of Frank has become the only bond that connects Frank to human society. This bond is vague, fragile and strong, hopeless and beautiful. But in the independent drama of punisher, this important quality of the character He was completely weakened, and could even be said to have disappeared. They first filmed him commuting to work alone, hammering the wall at 80 or 80, eating lunch alone, living in a single room that could only turn around, and then staying Bearded face. They made Karen tearfully say "You're so lonely." How blunt, direct. And before you can convince yourself to accept this straight (young) white (childish) portrayal, Frank Castle starts making friends! He has hacker friends who gag and tell dirty jokes from time to time reminisce about each other like water Years, there is a blood nourishing nurse who never leaves, a beautiful civil servant with like-mindedness, a former comrade who lives and dies together, the wife of a good friend is his confidante, and the lovely world niece Mystery depends on him, if unfortunate David's whole family is really left with this girl, and the next thing is probably "This uncle is not too cold"? By the way, he still has an amnesty order fully covered by the government! Even the moment he was betrayed by his best brother, he actually There's a place to go back to, and there's someone there waiting for him to complain! So much so that I can't help but think, what if I was betrayed by Billy, look at you, you have David now! The so-called old don't go to the new It's not coming! Frank Castle, he's a ghost! Frank's friends have become so many that even Karen, who can only provide some information channels, seems irrelevant. Friends who haven't watched dd2 must not understand why this blond beauty can be compared to Frank's dead family. The characters other than the protagonist are equally indescribable. In dd1 and 2, any character on the stage is a life with flesh and blood. Everyone has their own stand and point of view, personality and thought. With the development and upgrade of things, each character has grown accordingly. Foggy and Mathew have gradually developed differences of opinion from simple like-minded friends. In the process, there was a reluctance to compromise, an attempt to accommodate and support, to an escalation of friction. As Foggy becomes more capable, so does the conflict. The boat of final friendship temporarily overturned. You can see Foggy's journey from being supportive to being independent, and embarking on his own path; Karen is more obvious, starting out as a helpless victim. Try to cheer up and join the firm. The relationship with Mathew and Foggy gradually deepened. After being involved in the Kingpin conspiracy, the Jedi fought back violently, revealing the fierce side of his personality. In Frank's case, when the two bosses gave up and Karen and Mathew also had an emotional crisis, they still chose to pursue the truth with perseverance, and their personalities became more and more composed, smart and firm. In the end, a new career path was chosen. Nurse man Claire has a clear emotional choice because of dd, and changed her career choice because of the hospital violence. Including the big villain Kingpin, they are all failing --> sinking --> counterattack --> In the process of regaining power, the boss has been upgraded. With such a careful layout, each character is a universe of its own and is integrated into the big universe of the story, so that the whole story can be as vivid and touchable as the real world. Looking at Uncle Pu's personal drama in turn, what does each supporting role look like when he comes on stage, and what does it look like at the end. David is still that righteous and wise wife. Madani is still the default successor who has enthusiasm and background but has no ability other than scolding his superiors. Kurtis is still a good American comrade-in-arms. Little Billy appeared as a beautiful and vicious vase, and the ending was a beautiful and vicious but broken vase. Everyone seems to be living in a vacuum with no time dimension. Oh, except for Lewis who was doomed to get sick in revenge on society. As for the protagonist's growth and changes - if repeated nightmares are the only way the screenwriter can come up with to express their hearts, then it's really a kindergarten-level masterpiece. There is even a bed scene in the dream - I don't know what's the point of dreaming of having sex with my wife while being tortured, indicating that Frank has a tendency to sm? In the end, the ending also forcibly fed chicken soup. punisher, Frank Castle, he's feeding me chicken soup! This is much scarier than breaking someone else's head with a hammer! THE punisher who made peace with the world. - That's really a celebration. Looking at the reaction of this drama, most of the comments are like "I punish my uncle in society, and people don't talk much", "If you don't bb, just do it", "cool" and so on. However, the headshots and blood plasma of B-grade films have long been unable to cause much stimulation to me. Compared with the close-up of the wound with the arrow pulled out and the "eye-popping" performance of the magic mountain style in this play, the uncle Punishment in dd2 was more goosebumps and stood upright when he shot the shotgun in the face at close range - the stimulation did not lie in the other party The facial features that collapsed in an instant, but the emotional transmission of killing a chicken when he punished his uncle. That is the spiritual world of PUNISHER. Without hesitation, without mercy. inhuman. punisher. - That's really a celebration.

The punisher does not judge, only executes.
But in this play, it takes a long time to disfigure someone.
In short, the structure and layout of the play, plus the rhythm, all fail. The plot just reached the passing line. Best of the show: BGM, Next best: Jon and Deborah's acting. The rest is just a 60-point American shootout.
