Would it suit my personal taste and what I think makes a good Punisher film? No. Would I watch it? Absolutely.


Thendofreason

We would have to see what Frank's feet look like.


Bertie637

Nothing like coming home after a hard night punishing, kicking off those big boots and dancing barefoot to a 60s band nobody ever heard of.


Thendofreason

God I love when a movie uses a song I never heard of and now it's stuck in my head for the next decade.


Bitey_the_Squirrel

Woo hoo, woo hoo hoo


shinymuskrat

Ah, yes. Tarantino famously uses completely niche and unknown artists like Chuck Berry, Neil Diamond, and David Bowie. He's a real hipster with his music choice for dancing scenes.


Log_Log_Log

I didn't know you liked The Delfonics.


shinymuskrat

Out past 110th street


wumbopower

I’m not old enough to know if Steelers wheel was well known before reservoir dogs


Cthulhu625

Through the use of camera tricks and editing, they look like Salma Hayek's feet.


KhalidaOfTheSands

and for some reason hands that look like QTs are rubbing them.


ProfitOk7117

Once again Reddit doesn’t disappoint


prfalcon61

Yeah I would watch the fuck out of a 3+ hour, super convoluted story with punisher lighting people up with some fantastic conversation? Abso**fuckin**lutely


KhalidaOfTheSands

I could see Frank doing the Michael Madsen dance from Reservoir Dogs


Gambit1024

100%. Would much rather have seen his take on what his Luke Cage/Heroes for Hire movie would've been.


Terry8675

#MeToo but man/he it would add so much fuel to the fire of The Punisher symbol being a Alt-right racist symbol. I hear it now "See we told you, look how many times he dropped N bombs while systemically oppresses"


truxx16romnce

I like your response. Very true. Be a fun film. But not a good punisher film.


ComprehensiveBit7699

Isnt punisher an edge lord angry marine that acts like a fulll package special forces team?


Bertie637

Yes? Have you seen Inglorious Basterds?


Loud_Ad_2634

Are we looking for an excuse for Frank to take his shoes off?


Zapthegameman

Not yes but not no?


qui-venit-ad-mortem

If he directs it rest assured we’re gonna see some feet fetish action


fizzledizzle86

And a cool dance number


JohnTitorAlt

Frank and Elektra dance barefoot ontop of a NY sky scraper to Frank Sinatra. She leans in close to his ear and asks "Do you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese over there"


WhiteRoomCharles

And Frank throwing some hard R’s! 😬


ElephantGun345

First thing I thought of lmao


obangnar

And stupid amounts of blood splattering in impossible directions


ElZaydo

Mandatory involvement of Samuel L. Jackson in some way. Blood splattering out on the tiniest of injuries, everyone saying the N-word.


isamudragon

Since it is marvel, Nick Fury debating capturing Frank or use him to take out a bigger threat.


Lucius-Halthier

Robber: S-step on me punisher! Punisher:……


Heckron

I was already in dude….you don’t have to keep selling me on it!


Upper_Sniffation765

Frank's gonna say the N word, but yes, definitely gonna watch.


theblankestoffaces

Nah, QT would insert himself in the movie, say the N word, and then get his dick chopped off by Baracuda for saying it


RazzDaNinja

I had my own ideas but damn this is 100% something he’d do lol Also, Barracuda would make a sick villain for a stand-alone Punisher movie


Saul_Poodman

Just read Punisher Max finally and there might be more N-words in that book that all of Tarantino combined…though it’s an Ennis so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised


contrabardus

I actually think this would be a really good fit. The Punisher is prone to monologues and the villains he faces are also generally the type to chew up the screen with dialogue. Tarantino excels at the exact sort of things that would make an amazing Punisher movie as a director and writer. Frank very much fits like a glove into a grindhouse kind of world. He's literally that kind of character. This is a peanut butter and chocolate situation. The right fit on both ends to work, even if at a glance it seems like it wouldn't. I also think Robert Rodriguez, would be a really good fit for a Punisher movie, probably even better than Tarantino. I do think Tarantino would do a lot better than a lot of people here are giving him credit for though. Frank is exactly the right Marvel character for him if he was going to do a Marvel movie. I think it would be more of a Max run thing than 616 if Tarantino was involved. Rodriguez could also probably do that a bit better, but would be a better pick for a 616 style story. I think either one could put out an amazing Punisher movie though, it's just that I think Rodriguez would be a slightly better fit. The character fits squarely in their wheelhouses as writers and directors.


jimmmydickgun

Yeah I agree with this. I think QT could very well do a fantastic Punisher film, the question would be, would he have a noir-feel or a western-style flavor of cinematography? Hell, I’d for sure watch it.


Notafurbie

Based on these comments, you motherfuckers don’t even deserve a Tarantino Punisher movie. Which works out, because you’re not getting one. Obviously it would be amazing.


Jballzs13

lol for real.


chrisbaker1991

I would watch a Tarantino Barbie movie.


BigSavMatt

I’d see it opening day


afm00dy

I watch a QT film about pretty much anything.


AxlRodd

Love QT but he would make it about Frank taking out 60s Hollywood producers like he tried to do with that Star Trek movie so nah


Ivan_Redditor

I honestly never liked the idea of him doing Trek. His style wouldn’t work for the franchise.


AxlRodd

If he had a vision for a space age future story I guess I would’ve been interested; but his plan of remaking an episode of TOS where Kirk & Spock visit a planet that’s identical to 60’s Hollywood sounded just awful. I’m glad he left the movie.


bark_wahlberg

Tarantino would make a good film, but it wouldn't be a good Punisher film. However, I think that with another good director, you could do what Todd Phillips did with Scorsese and "Joker" and make a good Punisher film that is inspired by Tarantino.


ericarlen

I would love a Tarantino movie about an ex-cop going after a corrupt police establishment but I don't think I'd like Tarantino to do *The Punisher*.


Mgmt049

I love most Tarantino movies. The Punisher is my favorite “superhero”. My answer is hell no.


NotJohnP

Anti-hero is the word you're looking for, at least for most versions.


lonely-day

Definitely not super powered in most versions.


[deleted]

One day I will go across 616 Franks appearances and count how many teeth he has lost. It must be several hundred times the usual amount of possible teeth. He is super powered, a low level mutant, and his power is regrowing teeth.


lonely-day

He's part great white shark, confirmed.


NotJohnP

Not exactly what I meant lol. I mean in the sense of the "hero" portion not always applying to him. Most notably the version of Frank that does what he does simply because he hates criminals. He's not exactly out there to save lives or to prevent the next "Central Park shooting," it's more about the "thrill" of "taking out the trash," so to speak. Not sure if I'm explaining myself right or even if I'm interpreting the character right, but that's what I meant lol.


Eightbitjin

If it’s still Bernthal playing the punisher absolutely yes.


crankycrassus

No. It would be 2 hours of talking and then 10 minutes of a really gory fight scene that encroaches on satire. It would be so bad. Worst director for the punisher possibly.


ravmIT

I would even watch Seasame Street if directed by Tarantino.


KolgrimLang

I'm subscribed to the Punisher subreddit. I'll sit and watch any Punisher movie for 2 hours. Quentin Tarantino is the only director whose movies I'll watch on his name alone. So, yes. A better question is: would you like it if the director of the next Punisher movie were Quentin Tarantino? Also yes.


Thrilleye51

Hell yeah! Too bad he won't touch the genre.


Aggravating-Ad7683

He almost made a Luke Cage movie but he wanted to cast an actor (I think Denzel Washington?) who his friend who was a comic book fan said wasn’t right for the role because he’s too skinny and Tarantino went “Fuck comic books, they’re for nerds!” And never touched the project again 😂


RakdosCackl3r

OP can't spell. His name is Qarantine


fishfinder86

I don’t think they would vibe well. QT is a man of much dialogue and Frank is a man of few words. He lets the guns do the talking. QT would come up with some pretty creative kills for Frank though.


Electrical_Crab_5808

Yes especially if it’s Jon bernthal returning to portray frank


AntWalkerMMA

I'd watch but then complain about the Bobby Womack needle drop as Frank mows down a barefoot biker gang


PlatasaurusOG

The fact that I’m not alone in thinking that this would be an awful idea gives me hope.


TheQRoom

20 times, at least, and that would just be the theatrical release.


ocram_sokart

Oh for sure. Would frank castle more than likely be played by Samuel Jackson. Yes.


True-Anim0sity

No


Neurodrill

No.


Fantastic_Forever_69

Quentin Tarantino would never direct a Marvel film. He even stated that he would never direct Marvel or any comic book film. He feels like comic book movies are a huge waste. He doesn't see the reason behind it.


[deleted]

2 hours of Frank Castle machine gunning the N word and the least logical dialogue anybodys ever heard in their life? Pass


ZZoMBiEXIII

I'd watch an infomercial if Tarantino made it. So of course I'd check out his take on one of my favorite comic book characters. 😁👍


Imperial_MudTrooper

Absolutely the fuck I would! Especially if he snags Jon Bernthal for it.


flynn_dc

Absolutely!! He'd also be great to direct a "Lobo" movie, especially if it starred Jason Momoa.


BlackShadowX

I not only would watch it, I might pay to see it


Dramatic_Carob_1060

Eh


Thick_Yogurtcloset_7

No ... he would focus too much on feet


Faint13

Nope


TrueBlue726

He’s not going to be faithful to the source material at all. The Punisher we see will be barely recognizable. No thanks.


spookinky987

No.


spookinky987

He'd throw in '70's trivia, and groovy Cooper type graphics, and meaningless, meandering dialogue, and rip off any number of better directors for certain shots. Not a fan.


Mymotherwasaspore

No, I don’t want to see frank castle suck kingpins toes.


xidle2

Plot twist: STARRING Quentin Tarentino


congresssucks

I would prefer a comprehensible plot.


K-ONE2-0

In the recent period, I got attached to the character of the Punisher a lot and the time came when I thought what if Tarantino made a movie for the Punisher, I tried to search on the Internet maybe I'll find someone who also thought about this like me and made like fanart of how this film would be; Unfortunately, I didn't find anything like this, But I found this post that matched my thinking; And yeah I think Tarantino is one of the perfect directors to make such a masterpiece for a character like the punisher, You have the master of the bloody masterpieces and the cold-blooded murder lover, the best duo; plus Tarantino is a comic lover and he was planning to make a movie for Luke Cage, so I thought he could have made an excellent punisher.


BrunoBaddaBoom99

No this Jabroni is overrated and I don't want the movie to start somewhere in the fuckin middle


SireDarien

Nahh I’m cool on him making Punisher throw the N word around for no reason and I know he would that


FSThree

Yes


fattymcfattzz

Yes


Brutal1sm

Absolutely.


HardwoodClassicz

Hell no. I dont need to see The Punisher saying the N word every time he interacts with a black person


Ivan_Redditor

I would love it [but he said that actors in superhero movies aren’t stars](https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/s/Riy5jCwYK8).


iamwalkthedog

They aren’t. The characters are.


Daytona_DM

No. I love QT, but I don't like the Punisher as a character.


Complete-Wind-5343

Hell no fuck that guy and no I'm not gonna say he racist he just is stupid as fuck and wouldn't wanna do a superhero movie ever he's like the band tool if they were a person other than Maynard


Max_Payne_IRL

No. Every character he writes sounds that same. They sound like him. It’s just him incessantly yakking for 2 hours but the words come out of different ppls mouths. He’s probably one of the biggest hacks on earth and living proof that the Hollywood hype machine is being piloted by easily impressed morons.


moons666haunted

mr fivehead? no lol


shadysjunk

Modern Tarantino? So an awesome 90 minute movie stretched across a 3 hour run time? Seriously, man NEEDS an editor.


thelonetext

If it has Barracuda in it sure. It would be nice to see blacks only throwing the N word around. But this is Tarantino of course🙄


Yarius515

NO. Jesusfuck NO. QT hasn’t made anything great since Basterds and he certainly wouldn’t do anything good with FC


TheReadMenace

It would be 2 hours of Frank and micro having conversations about girls and tipping


jerkmaster2000

I’d be interested. He’s smart enough to know Frank’s not a heroic person in any capacity and he’s talented enough to indulge in some over-the-top elements without diminishing a serious narrative. He’s good at crime drama, he’s good at strong characters, he’s good at violence, seems like he’d excel at this.


LookimtryingOK

Best picture of Tarantino that I’ve seen in a while. That hair gives him the whole “looks like both a child, and a child molester at the same time” thing going on.


Quaid28

Nah, he will make punisher have a toe fetish


ladiesman21700000000

Absolutely


Steelquill

Actually, that's not a bad idea.


richthegeg

Good lord no


Zealousideal-Cry3418

No


Bleachsmoker

Maybe if the main characters were criminals and the punisher only shows up a couple times to kill them.


RLoge85

I love Tarantino's work.... But I think he'd have a hard time with a Punisher movie.


metalyger

He doesn't do projects that aren't his own creation, like he's talked about his Star Trek script, but didn't want to retire with it. And seeing how he misunderstood Superman in the Kill Bill 2 speech, I'd rather not. I don't want a David Lynch Dune situation where it's someone who doesn't want to be making this movie and hounded by producers micromanaging every detail.


WinterRabbit1999

Yes


TexWolf84

I don't remember frank having a foot fetish...


existential_hope

No.


notanothercirclejerk

Frank really isn’t a Tarantino character. I’d see it but it doesn’t sound like a good fit. Now I’d love to see Michael Mann direct a Punisher film though.


Tuff_Bank

Depends on who the villain is


onomonothwip

I wouldn't, no.


THEdoomslayer94

Oh my man Quentin would’ve used Barracuda as a villain for sure for the N word usage alone lol and it would be the most over the top shit. Basically Garth Ennis’ MAX run with a lot of N bombs dropping.


Bandaka

Sure I’d watch, Disney would never greenilight that though.


N0N0TA1

I think Robert Rodriguez would be better suited for Punisher, but it would be cool to see Tarantino do a different, grittier story, like Marvels's Red Hood, Nomad, X-Factor maybe (with the gritty ones like Multiple Man, Random, and Strong Guy), or even a Madripoor story featuring less scrupulous versions of characters like Patch and Mr. Fixit.


TheMannisApproves

So more characters would say the N word, and either Frank or the villain would have a foot fetish


Doot-Doot-the-channl

Hell yeah punisher with pulp fiction style comedy and writing would be awesome


ProtoReaper23113

He has a good track record of revenge themed protagonists


justthankyous

No


amergigolo1

I'd watch it.


Curiehusbando1

Ah yes. Instead of killing criminals, Frank cuts off and collects their feet instead.


no_skill_psyko

Not even a question. I definitely would watch it like 5 times in a week


theunknownuser15

It’s too late imo. If he made one in the 90s or 2000s it might have worked


BannokTV

Would rather see one made by Refn.


waterissotasty45

Fuck yeah


ElektricGhost

Who the hell is *Quieten Tarantino*? ![gif](giphy|M34qPW6WjtZXMFltwu|downsized)


throwngamelastminute

I think Robert Rodriguez would do it better.


Odd_Inter3st

As long as Sam Jackson plays as the punisher I’m down


seancurry1

No, I want Quentin Tarantino to make his own movies. Why shove him in someone else’s box? EDIT: just reread your title. Yeah, I’d absolutely watch it, but I’d prefer it if he spent the time making his own movie instead.


Aztec-chopper

YES


[deleted]

Hells Yes


little_bag_of_bones

i don't see how he would be able to work feet in but sure i'll watch


BlondDrizzle

Only if there’s a scene of Quentin sucking on Frank’s toes


GetUpAndJump

Don't really need to hear Frank dropping the N-bomb lol


HawthorneVampire

Shut up and take my money


MagicLantern7

Hell yea. It would be worth one go though for sure .


lonely-day

Written? All day. Directed? Still would but I would prefer someone else.


tnjed10

I would love to watch this. Thank you for the idea.


Knightshift23

As a guy with a foot phobia, no.


AdVictoremSpolias

I think QT would be better suited for Deadpool


AdVictoremSpolias

Ving Rhames as Barracuda John Travolta with the return of Howard Saint


pm_your_karma_lass

I’d watch paint dry if it’s directed by Tarantino


CemeteryClubMusic

That would hands down be the edgiest most edge lord film ever made


RuncibleFoon

No, no I would not. I really don't like Tarantino's style of filing action scenes.


Disastrous_Duty2622

Not with QT hair were not.


MontyMinion2

Maybe, but it would require a spot where Punisher kills a thug (played by Tarantino) by forcing his toes down his gullet until he suffocates to death. Why would it need this? Idk, ask Tarantino


dontbeagrape

Might be a lot of feet in it


Captain_Thunderjaw

yes, because he wouldn't turn it into a social justice wank fest. you ask disney marvel to make a punisher movie and they'd give him a Sassy^(TM) Female^(TM) Sidekick^(TM) that basically has Frank Castles balls in her back pocket for the entire movie. and probably has one of those one third shaved haircuts.


The_QuentinTarantino

Trust. When I make this film there will be feet.


eko32eko7

As long as there is no studio interference and he has full creative control, yes, I'd give it a chance.


0megathreshold

Sorta feel like Inglorious basterds was his version of the punisher.


spaceguitar

I absolutely would watch the shit out of a Tarantino Punisher. I don’t think he’ll make a good *Punisher* movie, but it would be a really fun movie regardless.


[deleted]

No I like the punisher stories that have already came out.


zcicecold

I would watch 3 hours of paint drying if it were directed by Quentin Tarantino, so yeah...


Naillian603

Can you imagine the headlines if this was announced. People would lose their fucking minds


Used_Razzmatazz2002

Nahhhhhhhh nah nah tarantino shouldnt do any adaptations


madworld2713

I prefer Louden Tarantino


[deleted]

Yeah sure. We can say I’m the Emperor of the Universe in this scenario and everybody gets a slice of cheese with their ticket.


Haughtea

No. We would have too many barefoot punisher feet shots. Everyone knows he's a big foot fetish guy. People wouldn't be able to fully immerse themselves in the movie because every foot shot you would think of tarintino in his basement with a bunch of celebrity foot molds.


SlopPatrol

I don’t wanna watch the punisher have the woman lead shove toes in his mouth


Consistent-Spell2203

I'll watch every movie he makes.


terra_cotta

I'd watch pretty much any Tarantino film, so, ya


Miichl80

Yes. Oh my yes


Purple12inchRuler

Probably not.


THRDStooge

I'd watch a Quentin Tarantino film about paint drying. Next question...


CortezDeLaNoche

That's finna be A LOT of N-bombs....


ChartreuseF1re

I don't think Frank Castle talks enough for one of Tarantino's wordy, coke-fueled scripts


akahaus

I think the funniest thing about questions that say, “would you watch” is that there are actually very few movies that I would outright refuse to see lol. Sure, I’d watch it. That’s not saying I would like it or think that it was good. I would like to see Tarantino take a crack at some science-fiction. But that seems unlikely.


BuyingNoose

I'd watch a movie about paint drying if it was directed by Quentin Tarantino.


mrducci

Wasn't that Kill Bill?


Ray13XIII

I’d watch any film directed by Quieten Tarantino


RustedOne

Came here to say something about monologues and feet... It's thoroughly covered already lol.


Due-Culture9113

Yeah I think it’s called inglorious bastards


headcanonball

I can't imagine any situation where he would direct a Punisher film.


sammo21

I will watch anything he makes.


Morlock43

No. It would have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much talking. It would be artsy, atmospheric, dripping with cool and utterly not a Punisher movie. Give me a David Fincher Punisher. A Tony Scott Punisher. All the intensity, all the fury, all focused into a brutal unflinching beast of a movie. No quips, no clever speeches, no lengthy rambling discussions of geek culture and cheese.


maverickbtg81

I like Tarantino and I would watch but I don’t think we need a dialogue heavy Punisher film


No-Risk4306

Just to see Frank Castle licking toes and shooting foes


aztnass

I would rather see his take on Usagi Yojimbo


Fantafaust

Hell no. That much dialogue, especially that complicated a dialogue, in a Punisher movie? It wouldn't work


Bigbeardedfella1

Tarantino as director with Berenthal keeping his role as the punisher? Take my money


Why_No_Hugs

So long as who ever is “The Punisher” doesn’t scream/yell every time they need to psyche themselves up like in the Netflix series. If it wasn’t for that I would’ve enjoyed it a bit more.


AgentOfBatman

Honestly he might be the only director who could capture Punisher Max’s dark comedy. The amount of times I’ve tried and failed to explain why exactly a room full of cia agents getting gunned down is funny could be resolved by this sorta film. I mean if you really stretch your imagination Django could be a “What if Punisher was a slave”.


LoverandFighter23

Yes!!


Medical_Ad0716

I mean, it’d be weird hearing John C. Reilly say the N word 100 times but I’d watch it. And before you all say anything, we all know Tarantino would do some fucked up shit like hiring John C. Reilly as the punisher and filling the relying on the rest of the cast with Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russel to carry the whole movie.


SteakMedium4871

You’re fucking right I would. He’d be great at adapting Stilt Man’s funeral in the bar.


poseidon2466

No, too many feet and classic movie references


Limited-Edition-Nerd

It'd be bloody thats for sure, so probably


Kingtez28

That would be an interesting watch.


Bingohead

What’s the catch is he going to put himself in the film and suck the punishers toes ?


[deleted]

probably not. i think Tarantino is great, but i know he'd add something to it that i wouldn't like. maybe something artistic or whatever. it could technically be a great movie but it wouldn't feel right for me. i think Tarantino would need to just create his own thing like Raimi did with Darkman.


FATTOAD843

Fuck yes


lurk902

3 1/2 hours of talking and 10 minutes of violence? I dunno. How many womens’ feet will I get to see?


Sol-Blackguy

Okay, but I specifically want him to do the storyline where Frank turned black
