Punisher: One Last Kill Sparks Online Mockery Over Unfinished VFX and Audio
Disney+'s The Punisher: One Last Kill drew online ridicule for an unfinished-looking VFX moment—Frank Castle's fall resembled a PS3-era cutscene—while fans complained of low dialogue in the audio mix. Disney+ acknowledged the audio issue and said a fix is in progress. A production source says the stunt was performed in-camera with Jon Bernthal and a stuntman handling the impact, with some VFX including swapping the stuntman's face for Bernthal's. Despite the hiccup, the special has been well-received overall (86% on Rotten Tomatoes, 91% audience) and continues The Punisher storyline in upcoming projects like Daredevil: Born Again and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
