The Punisher: 5 Ups and 5 Downs

Down: Poor main villain

Agent Orange (Netflix)

While the reveal that Billy Russo would play a villain didn’t surprise anybody, main antagonist Rawlins (Paul Schulze) didn't meet fans’ expectations. Sure, everybody sees how sleazy he is, and everybody hates him (again, the cast is great). However, he doesn't pose the threat of a Kingpin (Daredevil) or a Kilgrave (Jessica Jones).

Rawlins does know how and when to pull strings. However, when he’s finally in the same room with the one person who’s responsible for his troubles, he lacks the qualities that pushed him to the top.

After Rawlins’ past experiences with Castle and what he learned about him, did he really believe that a bit of torture would work? He didn’t realize that the Punisher would have a backup plan, or that things were happening exactly as he wanted them to? Given his relationship with Billy Russo, how could he expect anything other than betrayal?

Agent Orange failed to rise to the occasion.
