Comments are love!

Note to Arrow fans: I'm sorry.

Note to people who aren't mad at me about Arrow: One of my first fanvideos was an edit of the 2004 Punisher movie (to a Breaking Benjamin song, typical mid-aughts amirite?). I wasn't really into comic book characters except for the Punisher, so when I found out his character was getting added to season 2 of "Daredevil," I was excited and unsure he could live up to my expectations. Boy, was I wrong. In many ways, this video feels like I'm getting back to my roots, only a million times better with experience and a different take on the Punisher. (No disrespect to Thomas Jane, "I just want my kids back!")

Technical jibber-jabber that no one else will care about but I want to say anyway: I edited a version of this in 480p first, and it was an unmitigated disaster. Just trust me when I say that it's a good thing I didn't foist it on humanity. So after I'd completely finished, colored, and rendered the video, I decided to redo the entire thing with larger footage. It meant no scrubbing through footage, but that was fine because I had already edited the cuts and timing. So it was tedious and took a week to edit, but it also didn't kill my computer. I AM NOT LYING WHEN I SAY MY COMPUTER SITUATION IS DIRE. The constant freezing and crashing might have caused a stomach ulcer, but I haven't been this proud of a video in a while.
