I'm looking forward to hearing about your opinions on Daredevil. It surely was a product of its time.

So, I haven't watched Howard the Duck, Electra, any of the Punisher movies.

Gambitismyheart2026-01-13 11:37

Howard's the man. Lol Elektra isn't worth watching like at all. Holy shit. I haven't bothered watching thay since release but some time last year my ex-boyfriend decided to watch it. Seeing it and hearing it on the screen was torture to my ears. My ex struggled to get through the film.

LemonLow33072026-01-13 19:55

Yeah ik too that some of the movie have really low ratings but as a marvel man i wanted to give them a try and give my opinion

LemonLow33072026-01-13 19:55

Sure man i will update once i watch it I'll watch tomorrow

RckChk2026-01-13 11:08

Austin_712026-01-13 16:34

Thirded

LemonLow33072026-01-13 19:53

I will search for it and update you.

The Daredevil film has a lot of good in it, but also a lot of weird. Definitely worth a watch to see the alternative takes compared to the charlie cox version.

It actually fits a lot of classic DD beats into one story, which is not easy.

The Blade movies are fun; the Punisher movies I didnt really like (both ghost riders are better). And bana's hulk I honestly barely remember.

LemonLow33072026-01-13 19:57

Let's see what I got i saw the pic of his bullseye he had a tattoo
I have watched the 1st ghost rider haven't watched the second one lets see what happens

pje11282026-01-14 00:13

Haven't seen the Punisher movies yet, but they're worse than both Ghost Riders? I watched those for the first time last year. The first one was fine, fun enough, but I thought the second was horrible.

Sharkfighter20002026-01-14 00:40

When you say “the first” Punisher movie, do you mean the one with Dolph Lundgren from 1989? Or the Thomas Jane one from 2004?

The 1989 one is pretty not good. The 2004 did good with The Punisher but John Travolta as the bad guy was ridiculous.

The Jon Bernthal Punisher from the Daredevil show and especially the second season of Punisher was the best. I would love to see him in some big MCU film just killing folks.

pje11282026-01-14 00:42

I haven't seen any Punisher movies, just the show. I love the show and can't wait to see him in Spider-Man and his own special!

When I was saying "first", I meant the Nic Cage Ghost Rider movies.

Sharkfighter20002026-01-15 07:46

Whoops! I really liked the Ghost Rider from Agents of Shield. (Gabriel Luna actor)

Gambitismyheart2026-01-13 12:03

May I ask, how come you've not seen these films til now (or soon). Just curious?

LemonLow33072026-01-13 20:02

Idk man, I started Daredevil but stopped for some reason and I didn't like Blade's quality when I started it and I have seen Bana's hulk but I was 5 or 6 and don't remember shit and after that I followed X-Men and MCU and Tobey/Andrew Spideys so yes that's pretty much why

Gambitismyheart2026-01-13 20:08

Hmmm. Yeah my guess was, "He was either very young or had some type of trauma in his life and never got to it" . So i guess I was half right. Haha

LemonLow33072026-01-13 20:15

Haha 😄

Beautiful-Year54922026-01-13 12:38

Sure, let's discuss here.

LemonLow33072026-01-13 20:03

I will watch Daredevil tomorrow, so should I discuss it in this post or create another one about that?

Beautiful-Year54922026-01-14 12:27

same post works, have you completed it??

ants_taste_great2026-01-13 13:09

Punisher and Daredevil TV series are awesome. I never really thought Blade fit in the MCU, but I don't know the backstory to that one.

Sahaal_172026-01-13 13:20

Blade doesn't currently really fit in the MCU because he's a vampire hunter, and throughout all the movies and shows up until now there's been no hint of vampires existing in the MCU. (Not in the main timeline at least, there was a mention in the TVA of a vampire, so they do exist elsewhere in the multiverse)

If they really intent to use him in the future I expect that whatever world we end up with after Secret Wars will have vampires.

Sylar_Lives2026-01-13 14:55

Doesn’t Werewolf by Night being a thing kind of imply the existence of the iconic monsters in 616?

CaptHayfever2026-01-13 23:07

And Saracen was literally in She-Hulk.

LemonLow33072026-01-13 20:06

U r right

Western-Chart-67192026-01-13 13:14

That’s a fun idea, those pre MCU movies hit very differently and Daredevil is a pure early 2000s time capsule, so post your thoughts after you watch.

LemonLow33072026-01-13 20:05

I will should i post here in this post or create another post

mackadoo2026-01-13 13:17

I just went through the Blade trilogy. 1 is campy and fun, 2 has the benefit of Guillermo del Toro, but 3 is just bad. Ryan Reynolds has some fun as a proto-Deadpool kinda character but that's about the only salvageable thing here.

LemonLow33072026-01-13 20:05

I'll keep that in mind

Popular_Material_4092026-01-13 13:26

Using the word “classic” to describe some of those movies feels wrong lol

demonoddy2026-01-13 14:41

Correct lol

Sylar_Lives2026-01-13 14:54

Legacy is a better term

Popular_Material_4092026-01-13 17:08

I would’ve gone with Trash personally

LemonLow33072026-01-13 19:54

I just wanted to mention them, sorry if I didn't use the correct term.

Naive_Nerve53712026-01-13 14:02

When you get to watching Punisher movies and you watch Ray Stevenson’s Punisher War Zone, look out for the Marvel Knights comics flicker banner at the beginning.

It was the first of only two Marvel movies ever made with the Marvel Knights production banner under which Marvel wanted to released their R rated adult content. The second, and last one, was Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance. Both movies featured the same unique black and white flicker intro and both movies bombed on release. Punisher War Zone is a cult classic these days. Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance is awful to this day and can be said is the movie that buried an entire Marvel production banner. The MCU was just about to start and create the all in one Marvel tone they stick with to this day so I doubt they would’ve done many more of this Marvel Knights banner anyway. But if it were still a thing, Deadpool and Wolverine would have likely had that banner.

I’d give both the Ghost Rider movies a whirl if you have the time, just to say you’ve seen them too. They’re both flat out bad, but goofy enough that you’ll chuckle at least once.

Also, without hyperbole or irony, Ang Lee’s Hulk is one of my favorite comic book movies ever made. It looks like a live action comic book. You might hate it for that reason. I don’t. I love how unique it is. I head canon it as being the origin story for the MCU Hulk because why not.

LemonLow33072026-01-13 20:00

Man i never heard of that Marvel Knight good to hear that
I would really love to discuss the Punisher and Hulk with you i will remind you here once I finish both of them

CaptHayfever2026-01-13 23:06

I actually liked Spirit of Vengeance better than both the first Ghost Rider & Punisher War Zone.

OPs_Mom_and_Dad2026-01-13 16:08

After you watch the Thomas Jane Punisher, also be sure to look up Punisher: Dirty Laundry on YouTube. It’s about 10 minutes long, and 100% worth watching.

LemonLow33072026-01-13 20:04

Sure man I'll watch and update you

Austin_712026-01-13 16:42

I personally love the Thomas Jane Punisher movie, as long as you can get past the terrible casting of John Travolta as a mob boss and his hokey acting.
If you are familiar with the Garth Ennis Punisher series from 2000-2001, it is especially enjoyable as it includes characters Joan, Mr. Bumpo, and Spacker Dave from that storyline.

LemonLow33072026-01-13 20:05

I'll watch

CaptHayfever2026-01-13 23:04

Speaking as somebody who did exactly that [very recently](https://mcuchronological.wordpress.com/2026/01/02/part-m-misc-marvel-movies/), I have advice: Don't watch Howard the Duck, Blade Trinity, Elektra, Man-Thing, Punisher '89, or any non-MCU Captain America film.

DookuDonuts2026-01-14 00:24

In line with r/newrockstars Road to Doomsday weekly podcast series, I’ve started carving out time to revisit legacy Marvel films. Spent the last few days working through the Blade trilogy. I'll be kicking off the original X-Men trilogy later this evening
