Bernthal easily captures the spirit of that character through dialog in the Netflix shows

The writing for Frank in Daredevil S2 was good, but I'm not the biggest fan of Bernthal's portrayal of the character. I greatly prefer the cold hatred of the comics over the hot fury of his interpretation. DDS2 was great, but I ended up having to skim through later episodes of the Punisher show because I was losing so much interest. It's been a while since I've seen the movies but I think Ray Stevenson was most reminiscent of comic Frank. It's a shame his movie wasn't better.

I only really started reading comics in the last few years, but the Punisher MAX line is among my favorites, as is Garth Ennis' writing in general. I haven't put much thought into it til now but I wonder who my ideal casting today would be...
