About the popsicle trick\r

(Via user EdNorty): Yeah, but the popsicle trick in Punisher 2004 was taken straight from the comics:\r

My response: +EdNorty Good spot, and I wasnt aware of that, but for me it still feels very out of place (and in a film where he does so little punishing). I also dont like the idea that because something happened in a comic, suddenly its okay for the charer to do it? Comics can feel out of charer too, they arent automatically good by virtue of being in comic form. The Punisher in the film doesnt feel like the best Punisher, or even good Punisher, and the choices made to take certain things from certain comics instead of others, plays into that.
