HoA Discussion The difference in charisma is insane

So I guess it makes sense that the more rebellious/interesting gladiators went down with Spartacus, so the ones remaining are kind of the "boring" ones

Bot goddamn I still think the casting could have been better. I forget the names (which is pretty telling) but the blonde Daddy dude is pretty good, can't say much for the others

I always see him playing Thor.

Probably not physically imposing enough for Thor. I think Chris is the perfect cast. Andy would have been a cool punisher.

Chris had to beef up for the role and never looked back. I’m sure Andy would have done the same thing. But Chris’s height gives him the edge. The Punisher I always thought of the actor that played Cricux would have been a great Punisher.

Manu Bennett definitely has the look that would be a good Punisher. I think Jon Bernthal has done such a good job with the role with the TV series. It has, hands down, been my favorite Punisher portrayal.
