When a video game is adapted to film, most of the time it doesn’t gain much success. While some of the video game-to-film adaptations like Mortal Kombat and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Timemanaged to earn some respect among video game fans and viewers, other films like Double Dragon, Street Fighter, and the infamous Super Mario Bros. failed and are some of the worst of their kind. Even director Uwe Boll’s filmography is comprised of trashy, uninspired wastes of video game to movie ideas with films like Bloodrayne, House of the Dead, and Alone in the Dark among others.
Like with every Marvel film, many fans have been awaiting the newest installment that would shape the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even after 10 years of building up this cinematic universe, Marvel always manages to break the traditional comic book mold by focusing on superheroes that the general public doesn’t usually know.

But not every superhero had been featured in such prominent fashion until The Punisher had premiered on Netflix. While there have already been several movies depicting this classic anti-hero, none have reached the astonishing heights that many fans of the comic can appreciate. But Marvel’s The Punisher does something that most Marvel productions haven’t: telling an emotional and psychological story with a hero that performs their own brand of justice that others may find immoral.
