The Punisher: One Last Kill Goes Viral as Fans Compare CGI to PlayStation 3 Graphics

by

Disney+’s latest Marvel special, featuring the Punisher, is getting a lot of attention online, but it’s not all positive. Viewers are criticizing a particular scene for its noticeably bad computer-generated imagery, with some joking that it looks like a video game from the PlayStation 3 era.

I remember being shocked when Frank Castle, played by Jon Bernthal, fell from that rooftop! He landed on a crate, which totally gave way, and honestly, it felt a bit much. A lot of fans, myself included, thought his reaction was over the top and didn’t quite look finished. It just didn’t seem realistic, you know?

Interestingly, the people who made the show say they didn’t rely much on computer effects for that scene. According to one insider, Jon Bernthal actually did the beginning of the fall himself. His stunt double finished the fall, but visual effects were used to put Bernthal’s face onto the double’s body, and that might be why some viewers find the scene unsettling.

The Punisher: One Last Kill Also Has Audio Issues

Viewers have reported several technical issues with The Punisher: One Last Kill, beyond just visual problems. Many are finding the dialogue hard to understand due to the audio quality. The issue seems to be more than just a bad mix – it appears the audio channels were incorrectly assigned, with sound meant for the center speaker mistakenly coming through the rear speakers.

The Punisher: One Last Kill Succeeds Despite Its Technical Issues

The length of this special is a bit of a double-edged sword. At under 50 minutes, it feels rushed and leaves viewers wanting more. While the Punisher will return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, this story, One Last Kill, is almost perfect – it just needed about 15 extra minutes to really shine. It also clearly demonstrates why Disney should consider making another Punisher movie. Even with its minor flaws, The Punisher: One Last Kill proves the character deserves a larger platform.

What Is The Punisher: One Last Kill About?

Following the events of Marvel’s The Punisher Season 2, the story continues into Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. In a special Marvel presentation, Frank Castle is seeking a purpose beyond vengeance when a surprising development draws him back into action.

Frank Castle, played by Jon Bernthal, takes center stage in The Punisher: One Last Kill. Bernthal also helped write the story alongside the director, Reinaldo Marcus Green. The two of them, along with Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, and Sana Amanat, all served as executive producers. The cast also includes Jason R. Moore, Roe Rancell, and Mila Jaymes.
