Missy Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 You ever tell people something you're 100% sure about, only to have the look at you like you're crazy? I get that a lot. For instance, I swore up and down that Thomas Jane was in Spider-Man 2, but no one would believe me. Everyone insisted that I was either wrong, or the cameo was too quick to say for sure. Now, however, nearly one year since its release, someone grabbed screencaps and the images are making their way around the Internet. Behold and eat it, all you naysayers! (This is the scene where MJ runs past a fountain as she skips out on her wedding.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarrik Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Second pic is too blurry to really see his face, but the first one is picture perfect. I know it's just a cameo, but it makes you wonder what Punisher was doing in New York, or more specificly, what was he doing in that specific location.

Missy Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Word has it that The Punisher 2 will be set in New York, so this might have been a tease for keen-eyed fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I don't think Jane could look more nuts in that first picture... Freaky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-T Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Well, Punisher's first appearance was in a Spidey book. Punisher as the next Spider-Man bad guy? I think it could be fun to watch. It's certainly more appealing that another Punisher movie, since Punisher was basically a rip off of Death Wish and its' clones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while The Punisher movie might seem like a Death Wish ripoff, you have to remember that The Punisher character predates the first Death Wish.

S-T Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 True enough, but it would be cool to see the Punisher as a bad guy in a super-hero movie.And while The Punisher movie might seem like a Death Wish ripoff, you have to remember that The Punisher character predates the first Death Wish.Didn't the Punisher appear in 1974? Death Wish was the same year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Wish was the same year. The Punisher debuted in Amazing Spider-Man #129 (February 1974), and Death Wish was released in July of that year. Now I'm not saying Death Wish ripped Marvel off; I'm saying Frank Castle predates Paul Kersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Heat Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 If it was released in July, Deathwish would have been written by at least September the year before before, very likely even earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 First, comics are produced way ahead of time, much like movies. They can sit around for months and sometimes years before seeing the light of day. (Trust me, I know this first hand.) Second, I'm not saying anyone ripped anyone off. In fact, I'm trying to point out that it's just a coincidence that both antiheroes debuted in the same year. There's no way either company knew what the other was doing.
