content for this list we’re looking at
the best Easter eggs references and

points a spoiler warning is in effect
are you still moving number 10 the
bathroom kill tell mm get ready for a
big party I’m on my way
what a way to go in the series opening
sequence The Punisher tracks the last
member of the kitchen Irish gang Mikio
hair and strangles him to death the
scene is almost identical to the ending
of the Punishers man of stone story arc
in the comic version the Punishers
victim is actually william rollins and
instead of getting strangled rollins
hand is cut off during his bathroom
encounter the show’s bathroom scene may
have occurred for a different reason but
it’s still a great homage to Punisher
history number 9 front to ward enemy
[Music]
the ninth episode of punisher season 1
shares its title front toward enemy with
the phrase that appeared on tim
Bradstreet’s cover of 2008 The Punisher
number 53 in addition to sharing the
same name the issue in the episode has a
similar plot in the comic The Punisher
tries to save his daughter from the
assassin Barracuda but runs into a hitch
when he finds her car seat strapped to a
claymore the episode focuses on the
Punisher trying to save his friend
Curtis from Lois Wilson’s deadly bomb
trap fortunately in both cases frank was
able to save the people he cared for
from a brutal end number 8 dogs of hell
this gang can’t seem to catch a break
the dogs of help biker gang first
appeared in agents of shield when the
mind-controlling Asgardian Lorelei took
over the gang they were taken down by
the agents and Asgardian SIF the dogs of
Hell reappeared in daredevil season 2
where they were targeted by the Punisher
and beaten down by the devil of Hell’s
Kitchen
after those defeats we had little hope
they would escape from the Punisher in
this season’s opening sequence if there
are any dogs of Hell left at this point
they should seriously consider a career
change

number seven chaos under the streets
what was the article about blink and
you’ll miss this one in the episode two
dead men
Karen’s editor is seen holding a
newspaper if you look closely you’ll see
the headline chaos under the streets is
front-page news this title references
the main conflict of the defenders in
that series an evil organization called
the hand searches for a magical
substance buried under New York City
when their actions caused deadly
earthquakes a motley crew of heroes goes
underground to stop them those events
get a subtle call back with a quick
newspaper shot but more importantly the
headline confirms where the Punisher
series occurs in the MCU timeline is
just a city you’ll get used to watching
them for number 6 bullet chasey
[Music]
you had for the highway I couldn’t walk
when Frank needs to restock on guns and
ammunition he decides to steal from a
department of homeland security sting
operation but homeland security agent
Dino Madani doesn’t let the guns go
easily and pursues Frank in a frantic
car chase the hectic scene is an homage
to the 1968 thriller bullet the movie
features a famous scene where lieutenant
bullet goes after mob hitmen both cases
features 68 Mustang GTS in hot pursuit
with close quarters driving and roaring
engines there are even shot by shot
recreations of stunts from the original
film although both scenes end with
explosions all of the drivers and the
Punisher lived to fight another day
number five senators Stan Horry the
regulations I’m pushing aren’t about
taking certain guns away from all people
they’re about taking all guns away from
certain people you might want to think
twice about voting for this senator in
the series Stan Orie is an anti-gun
advocate that seems to be a stand-up guy
but wing Lois Wilson threatens his life
he cowardly throws Karen in the line of
fire so that he can escape however or
his comic counterpart manages to be even
worse after the Punisher kills the
Senators corrupt nephew he forces Frank
into hiding and sends an assassin after
him The Punisher eventually kills Horry
in the comics for his evil plot time
will tell if Frank will permanently
and/or his political career on the show
seeing that kind of violence of clothes
being part of it
makes you reassess number four Rollins
bad eye I think if we do this better in
a day
I pointed now you need to go shoot the
third episode of the season gives us an
extended flashback to Frank’s military
service we learned that Frank’s superior
William Rollins sends his unit on a
doomed mission that led to a harrowing
ambush after barely making it out alive
Rollins asks the soldiers if they
completed the mission Frank answers with
a devastating punch that permanently
damages Rollins left eye did you kill
the target this echos a moment in the
comics where Frank takes the same eye
out as part of an intense interrogation
in either case ron’s is left with
diminished eyesight and a deep grudge
against Frank Castle number three the
rumble in the jungle now owes this fight
74 before Luis Wilson turned into a
terrorist his father tried to connect
with him while watching the rumble in
the jungle the rumble in the jungle was
a legendary boxing match between
Muhammad Ali and George Foreman that
took place in 1974 that was the same
year that the Punisher made his very
first appearance in the amazing
spider-man number 129
although Muhammad Ali and the Punisher
have never shared a comic like Ali and
Superman once did both men were fighters
who could take punishment and dish it
right back it’s a subtle nod to the time
period The Punisher was born out of he
knew it was gonna hurt but he’s willing
to take it prove the world wrong number
two the Castiglioni family name at the
beginning of the series we learned that
frank castle is calling himself Pete
Castiglioni the surname Casa Leone can
be translated to mean small castle I’m
Pete by the way I think Leone however
its inclusion in the series goes deeper
than its definition in some versions of
the Punisher Frank Castle was born as
Francis Castiglioni before his name was
legally changed
he is also relied on his casting Leone
family in Sicily to hide him from the
clutches of Senator Horry the surname is
a recognition of the Punishers buried
history and a great alias to keep Frank
hidden from the world until Mike Rowe
finds him less
I’m not talking to Frank Castle you know
that’s a waste of time you’re Frank
castle right Frank Castle the dead man
number one the welcome back Frank
storyline oh come back the last line of
the first episode references a crucial
points in punisher history during the
1990s comic book readers were losing
interest in the punisher that all
changed when Garth Ennis made the
character popular again with his welcome
back Frank 12-issue run during the
legendary series The Punisher came out
of obscurity to take down the new Chi
Kron family what’s the test why isn’t
someone hitting this every week he’s
protected by the new chief in the
Netflix series Frank takes out members
of the new chief family to protect a
co-worker in the comics Manu Chi attacks
Frank and his friends to get revenge for
her family that means that the welcome
back Frank reference is likely more than
an easter egg it’s an ominous dose of
foreshadowing possibly for season 2
