BEN BARNES AS BILLY RUSSO IN THE PUNISHER

2, 088 CAPS, REMOVED FOR SPACE, ICONS BELOW

I laughed several times in the show because of how often people talked about how pretty he is IN THE SHOW. He is very, very pretty. I thought he did an excellent acting job, and frankly, I've always been a big fan so it was exciting to see him in this role. He was in more dark shots than a lot of the others. Classically.

Spoilers in the comments for him in the show.

Well to be fair, lol, I think that was BECAUSE he was the villain. Frank and Curtis' relationship was straight forward, pure loyalty, love, trust, respect. Think of those relationships in other media too, it's usually when it's friends turned enemies that get the focus. Because you want to understand how that even happened, and the CHARACTER wants to understand, because they're being betrayed. Frank wasn't betrayed by Curtis, so there isn't a serious reflection and confusion and hatred there. So it wasn't necessary in my opinion to delve into the two of them. You understood Curtis and Frank from that first scene together.

LOL I KNOW RIGHT. I laughed out loud. I WOULD NEVER ACTUALLY DO IT. hahah but yeah I knew about it also that they died oh well I mean this is really your fault if you think about it. /shrug

I also feel Curtis needed mor screentime, period. But this is true. I was thinking this. For some reason dysfunction gets more attention than healthy, stable. *shrugs* I do think it was though. Especially for someone like Frank. And I think it would be nice to see more of why Curtis extends his hand to Frank beyond the typical 'I believe in you'. Which is legit. But personally over done in my mind. Maybe if there is a season 2 (not that I think there should be).

RIGHT. THE NERVE. The way he just. It's your fault. NO accountability. Remember the kitchen scene? How mad HE was. At being betrayed. Oh gosh. LIKE REALLY BILLY. Like I get it. But there is no thought of the bigger picture. I saw someone call him a worse Grant Ward.

I mean as someone who just capped it I know who had screen time hahaha. He and Karen had about the same screen time. Billy and Dinah had about the sam amount of screen time. Micro was around the same as them, a little more. His wife was actually in quite a bit, she was around Karen and Curtis. And Jon had all the time. alllllllll the time.

Curtis was like motherfucker you suck one time to him, which wasn't ... really that, it was more like Seriously Frank wtf. At the time he didn't know that Billy was evil, but he did tell Frank that he should just take Billy's deal and leave and start over and stop on the revenge path. And then Micro was like BUT and Curtis was like YOU DON'T GET TO BE IN THIS CONVERSATION and I applauded in delight lol.

I mean I still think Grant Ward is the fucking worst, I'd put him lower than Billy still, maybe because I've had so much more time to loathe him and his stans.

	LOL true. I didn't even just mean exact minutes. I just meant weight of them. I LOVED THAT MOMENT. That was a good moment. He was like take a seat. Or three. Thanks. Fair. I'm not sure how I feel about Billy in relation to Ward. But yeah. Honestly, I do agree. It's the stans that will always keep him so effing low for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Like stfu Micro, you're not a part of that conversation, this is between real friends ok. (Another thing that annoyed me like I get they did become friends, but by the end he was like Frank's ~best friend~ or something which IDK I don't think they intended that it just was him like begging Frank not to die and me going ughhhhhhhh. I was too critical of this show hahah.)

I think Ward's constant POOR ME whiny bullshit plus his stans are where I was like hahahahahhahahahahahhaha no.

	ROFLMAO. (Right. That happened ... quick. I mean I didn't feel it was unearned. And I expected a closeness. Just not that much. I mean, the begging, it wasn't ... the worse. But, in retrospect, thinking on it and everything else. It was a bit much) Whenever they pop up again. I'm like. Ya'll are still here? (Reply to this) (Parent)
