Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle
THE PUNISHER | "HOME" 1.12
"Come on, get in." "Shotgun." "Heh. Don't wanna hear your shit." It's truly just like a mother calling her kids to the car after school. I love them all so much.
also not to still Accountant 2 post BUT the scene where Jon Bernthal/Braxton is rehearsing in the mirror and swearing and running around holding his gun hyping himself up and it’s all, the audience finds out, just to be more assertive with a dog breeder on the phone because he wanted to pick up his corgi puppy two weeks early…when I say I cried real tears in the theater I was laughing so hard…Jason Todd is that you??
also more hilarious moments: Braxton asking a woman why she’d say “don’t hurt me” and blustering out the door offended she’d think that and he’s literally stepping over dead bodies of random men as he leaves….iconic.
Two massive guys (Braxton and Christian) sleeping in one tiny airstream bed and it wasn’t played for laughs?? They’re brothers???
Braxton’s “is it me?” speech actually crushed me a little.
Christian gaming the dating app algorithm and then getting in trouble with the event organizers had me DYING.
you asked me for a favor. i did it.
Still kinda crazy how kastle is this completely unplanned ship that was brought to life by the chemistry of Jon and Deb, and became so popular to where it's now in a love triangle with the comicbook canon ship. That's insane. And how? Before dd:ba, it was **mostly** subtext and tension; loaded looks, heavy silences, things not said and pure unadulterated yearning... And it's crazier when you remember that despite the emotional depth, Karen and Frank actually share a few scenes together compared to the other ships. But with those few scenes, they created a very compelling dynamic and forged a bond so layered and deep, so complex and emotionally intense that you forget they haven't really had much time together. We actually get to see their connection build on raw honesty, recognition, respect, darkness, and their willingness to just sacrifice for each other and it's undeniable. And the show runners saw all that and were smart enough to get with the program and recognize it in canon, endgame or not.
Honestly, major props to Jon and Deborah cos not many actors can do so much with only subtext and so little screen time together. With a few scenes and acting restrictions (they couldn't even kiss, their kiss scene was cut), they delivered on "show, don't tell". That's some A+ talent. They really did that. I'm awed.
man, that matt-frank-karen love triangle is gonna hit like crack when ddba season 2 comes out in 3 years
I loved that one scene where Karen is patching up Matt in the foreground, but it's Castle in the background the camera is focused on. Because he's eavesdropping. He's been wondering the same thing--why did Karen call him? And then he decides to act macho, chewing pain killers and making out like getting shot doesn't hurt because he's damned if he'll look weaker than Murdock in front of her.
And of course Karen sees through it with a single look, leaving him stumbling over his words. There's too many that need to be said, a crushing wave that dams up at the back of his throat. Maybe over a cup of coffee he could let the words seep out. They could start with a cup, then another. Maybe dinner after that. Make up for lost time...
good morning is it 2026 yet
Now, ma'am, do you have anything for me or not? Maybe I just ought to go back and rot in my goddamn jail cell? Yeah. Yeah, I did some digging.
