These Netflix/Marvel shows talk to much


I thought this show was the best of the Netflix series, but there were episodes that drove me crazy. Just too much tedious dialogue. If I wanna be bored to death, I can watch LMN or something.

I can only assume too much action and special effects would not be budget-efficient for Netflix? So why not shorten the episodes by a few and use that money to invest into the other episodes to make them more action-packed adventures.

Characters talking with each other helps appeal to those of us adults who have grown up attention spans. My favorite scenes had no guns or blood, just people talking. Character development is what makes the action scenes matter.

Here, here! The "I'm hung like a horse" scene was one of the best. Two war buddies sharing stories of home over drinks.

That was EXACTLY the scene I had in mind! Those actors were fantastic together.

I didn't think the previous Netflix Marvel shows had too much talking, but this one sure as hell did. And no, I don't think the show should've been nothing but action so cut it out with that straw man. Still, it's the friggin' Punisher...it definitely needed more action and less of Micro's family/the government agents.
