Punisher Fan Makes Show Accurate Vest Out of Cardboard

A fan of The Punisher has made the character's iconic skull vest in real life using only cardboard. First released on Netflix in 2017, The Punisher ran for two popular seasons before ultimately getting canceled (along with all the other Marvel shows on the streamer). The character of Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) was first introduced in Daredevil season 2 and quickly proved to be a hit with audiences due to his tragic backstory and no-nonsense approach to killing swathes of bad guys.

Despite its short run, the series developed a passionate fanbase, many of whom still root for the show to return in some form on another platform. After it was revealed last week that Netflix would be removing The Punisher, Daredevil, and the other Marvel series from their site at the beginning of March, interest in all of the shows in the Defenders' universe has been reignited. The shows will most likely end up on either Disney+ or Hulu, potentially opening the door for some type of revival for one or more of them. Considering the extremely graphic violence in The Punisher and Charlie Cox's recent cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home, it seems that, if any shows are to be revived, it's most likely going to be Daredevil, not The Punisher.

In a new post on Reddit, The Punisher fan Daredevil246 shows his love for the series by recreating Frank Castle's distinctive skull vest. The vest is very close to what appears in the actual show, which is even more impressive with the realization that the whole thing is made out of cardboard. Castle's vest in the show has a very DIY-looking skull spray-painted on the front, something that Daredevil246 has been able to capture very accurately in his own creation. Check out the vest below:

Although The Punisher's future remains uncertain, it's clear that the show still has a loyal following. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Castle's approach to vigilantism is lethal, merciless, and often frightening, something that the skull vest makes abundantly clear. His crime-fighting attire is simple and practical, and the spray-painted skull is really the only flourish of style the character gives himself. The fan-made vest, while only made out of cardboard, captures the DIY nature of the show's costume perfectly, right down to the drips of paint in the skull's eye socket.

If the Marvel Netflix shows do find a new home on Disney+, it feels like a long shot that The Punisher will get a season 3. The property's graphic violence makes it quite an outlier in terms of Marvel's usual content, but neutering the show and toning down its more brutal aspects would just disappoint its many fans. Although The Punisher's future remains uncertain, the existing two seasons are clearly still resonating with people and inspiring cool, creative pieces of cosplay.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
