A New York story to the blood and bone, Marvels The Punisher has just canceled its October 7 panel at New York Comic-Con after the mass shooting in Las Vegas.

We are stunned and saddened by this weeks senseless act in Las Vegas, Netflix and Marvel said in a joint statement today. After careful consideration, Netflix and Marvel have decided it wouldnt be appropriate for Marvels The Punisher to participate in New York Comic-Con, the companies added of the gun and violence heavy Jon Bernthal starring series. Our thoughts continue to be with the victims and those affected by this tragedy.

Teased by the streaming service in recent weeks with a redacted launch date, the 13-episodePunisher showrun by Steve Lightfoot is based on the ruthless, firearm-wielding vigilante character first introduced by Marvel in the comic over 42 years ago. In many ways, with previews of the series expected at NYCC, the sensitive move to pull the panel comes as no surprise with the largest mass shooting in the nations history still very fresh in Americans minds.

In an 10-minute barrage of bullets from his 32nd-floor hotel room at Vegas Mandalay Bay down on a country music concert across the Strip, the gunman killed at least 58 people. The 64-year-old retired accountant left more another nearly 500 wounded by gunfire or from frantic attempts to get to safety.

With Walking Dead alum Bernthal, Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb and others from the series in attendance, the Punisher panel was scheduled to run 5:15-6:15 PM Saturday at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. On a night that will still see panels from CBS All Access Star Trek: Discovery and AMCs The Walking Dead, there is no word from NYCC if they plan to fill the MSGPunisher spot with another panel.

While no official launch date for Punisher has been announced, the Marvel and Netflix show is far from the first TV series in just over a year that has had to recalibrate its debut due to a mass shooting in this country.

Now into its second season, the small screen start of USA Networks Shooter was moved twice from its original premiere date.

Eventually opening on November 15, 2016, the Ryan Phillippe led series, based on Stephen Hunters novel Point of Impact and the 2007 Mark Wahlberg film of the same name, saw its original July 19, 2016 premiere postponed after July 7 sniper attack on Dallas police, which left five officers dead. The Shooter opening was then pushed a second time after a July 17 attack in Baton Rouge, La. last year where a shooter killed three policemen.

I honestly thought about this earlier today before even knowing this news. I agree also, it's probably a good call. I'm still watching the series as soon as it's released.

Good on them. This will likely cause them to delay the series for a month or two.

I don't think so. But, it would probably cause the SJW's and other people to leave them a lone. It was mentioned that it was originally going to come out in November. But, I think they'll delay it till February or March. By then, people won't be on "Let's blame a show that's been in the making long before the shootings occurred." mode.

Imagine if one of your immediate family members were killed during that shooting, would you really want to watch The Punisher any time soon after that?

No, but that's the beauty of Netflix, they can just... Not watch it or watch it later.

I don't think you understand how people on Social media tend to work. They see something, and then try to shift the blame to it. So Netflix/Marvel waiting a few months, would most likely cause people to focus their efforts on something else for awhile.

Like I said

Are they gonna delay it after the next mass shooting that happens right around the new release date?

They haven't even announced a release date yet though there's some stuff indicating it was planned for next Friday.

Well with it not having an official release date. I don't think it can get "Delayed" but I'm not sure that would stop people on social media/fox news. So either they just release it and let the people react, or they wait a bit to let people mourn and sort of focus their efforts on other things.

Might as well cancel all gun violence in media.

Cancel Call of Duty and all those games.

Stop the release of all movies with guns in them.

Cancel all TV shows with guns and stop making them.

Restrict singers and rappers from using gun lyrics.

GET RID OF IT ALL!

Maybe. I think in this it's more that the people in the panel don't feel comfortable promoting this immediately after the worst shooting in US history so far. Which is understandable.

It might be different if they're just uploading the series.

Marvel doesn't care about Las Vegas. They let the destroyed Las Vegas stay in a ruined state, even as Kobik fixed damn near everything else ruined by Hydra Cap's Amerika. Just so they forever have a reminder to NEVER FORGET. Please.

This is a dumb argument.

The Punisher isn't just a show with guns in it. It's a show with a gun-obsessed protagonist who, by most legal definitions, would qualify as a mass shooter

Come on, they're cancelling the panel, not the series. Given recent events, having a Punished panel would've been in very poor taste.

Fair, next.
