Ooooh I loved this! Great song choice and you kept me quite invested, despite not having seen the source. :D

[lilly_the_kid]

Thank you so much! I'm really happy yo enjoyed this even without knowing the source :)

A great video for a great film! You used the stylised title sequence really nicely, and chose a bunch of clips that totally followed the thread of Frank trying to get punished as well as save the kids to make up for what he couldn't do for his own. On a shallower note, the combination of that song and the visuals of Dolph!Punisher getting progressively more tortured and smacked around added a very nice other layer to the vid ;)

I'm sad that so few people know/have seen this particular incarnation of the Punisher - the film is an interesting snapshot of Marvel '80s/'90s era visual style, and a curiosity for actually committing to a protagonist whose death drive forms pretty much the entirety of their character. You caught both of those things so clearly in the vid here - super stuff!

Thank you so much for this wonderful comment! I'm so happy you enjoyed this and that I could do the movie justice. "On a shallower note, the combination of that song and the visuals of Dolph!Punisher getting progressively more tortured and smacked around added a very nice other layer to the vid ;)" Heh, I think so too ;)
The movie was so much fun to vid, it's a real visual treat and I'm happy I got to do this :)

What an interesting tension between will to survive and death wish, justice and despair! Cool vid.

[lilly_the_kid]

What is this perfection???? I love you!!! I couldn't have asked a better or more awesome Punisher vid. SO MUCH SQUEE!

I don't want to go into a whole breakdown of awesome (it would take too long), but a few things that stood out:
The utter sincerity of this vid. I legit love this film and this vid is a lovesong to the love.
The song choice! <3
Louis Gossett Jr.
Bizarrely naked meditating Frank Castle (thanks for slipping that in there ;-))
Lady Tanaka getting her own torture sequence - plus that creepy smile at 1:58 worked sooo well!
2:23-2:30 - wow, talk about the perfect ending

Anon - you are seriously the best! I'll be watching this on repeat forever.

[lilly_the_kid]

;D I just have to respond (again) to this wonderful squee! Reading this comment back then totally made my day. Thank you for that! "Bizarrely naked meditating Frank Castle (thanks for slipping that in there ;-))" Anytime!! :D Once again, I'm so happy you love it!!

Wow! I've never been interested in watching a Punisher movie, but this vid really sold me! The song choice seems perfect with its fun upbeat tempo and violent lyrics, and your timing of the clips was wonderful.

I just... had no idea that so much of the movie would be the Punisher shirtless and beaten and as a bonus he appears to have a tense friendship with a cop. I really might have to watch the movie! Thanks for making this vid!

[lilly_the_kid]

Thank you so much, I'm so happy you enjoyed this even without knowing the movie. It's a pretty good movie with really interesting visuals (and shirtlessness) and it was a lot fun to vid, so totally my pleasure!! :)

[vassalady]

AHHHHH, this video is AMAZING. I love this film, and you captured everything I love about it and it's a beautiful vid and the song is perfect and the timing is perfect and just everything is perfect, IT IS SO WONDERFUL, completely in love. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[lilly_the_kid]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'm so happy you like it and that I could do the movie justice!! :)

This was not what I expected for a vid for this movie, and ALL THE BETTER for that! The song and the beauty gave so much emotional depth, brilliant.

[lilly_the_kid]

Thank you so much, I'm so happy you enjoyed it!! :)
