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.

Exactly! Like even in the kitchen scene. I don't know. Just how the three of them played it. I can't even describe it. That Curtis was actually like 'you promise?' and Billy's petulance. If it wasn't for the gun and the bleeding. You'd think it was just three friends having a disagreement. You could still feel that ... chemistry. I guess? That is what I am looking for? Between them.

That last sentence though. AND THAT is why I don't think I could ever want redemption. (Even though my heart is still catching up with my brain lol). Because there was no regret when he turned around and just SHOT her. It's exactly that attitude he brought to Frank. 'You made me do it'.

Definitely. Til it just peeled itself open like an orange.

They all had excellent chemistry with each other. All three of them together and in separate connections. And yeah I think that's the thing with Billy. He would be like oh that's unfortunate but really what did you expect. He has a lack of any accountability, but I wouldn't say he has a victim complex either. I don't think he felt bad for himself because I don't think he really feels anything lol. Classic sociopath. He might have like vague feelings, but when it comes down to it, he has no real heart to speak of.

They really did. If anything, I would like to see them early on in a brief featurette. Not too much of one. Or rather, no you're right. Like he wasn't woe is me, but he also kind of had a very big HOW DARE YOU WRONG ME. So pride. I feel that scene in the kitchen and his mother's situation. It was a pride, in a sense. I feel even his 'I TOO KEEP MY WORD' had a lot to do with Frank saying he gave his word first. Or that scene where he promised to give Frank a quick death and Orange was like nah ... and he got annoyed.

	Oh yeah you're right it probably is pride. I don't think I'd call it pity, like self-pity, but I definitely could see it as him having a massive ego and pride. Narcissism, even, which feeds well into the sociopathic tendencies. (Reply to this) (Parent)
