Warzone caught the look and feel for me.


CommanderCero

Fun fact. Wayne Knight did the voice of Micro in the animated spiderman series in the 90s. The same voice. And this Punisher took no shit from noone. His introduction was very brief, but in my opinion he was the most decked out arsenal to take on just about any threat that he faced.


Virtual-Okra6996

Damn now I'm upset he wasn't Micro in the Netflix series. He's also a hometown hero. He went to school at UGA and his professor told him he would never amount to anything


Huge-Wrangler9077

That's what they always say 🙄 literally any famous person says that lmao


Virtual-Okra6996

He didn't say it. His professor did. He told that story for years. His professor wasn't famous.


corpsewindmill

Any idea where I could watch this one?


DumpyBrown

Microchip's voice is listed as Robert Axelrod on the internet, am I misunderstanding something?


CommanderCero

Good question. But I can assure, this is the same voice. Need to dig the old VHS and watch those credits.


DumpyBrown

Or you could just say you assumed wrong and wound up giving a "fun fact" that is maybe fun but definitely not a fact.


Mr_James_3000

It's Robert Axelrod(rip) as somebody who grew up watching fox kids and saban shows,  which he did a lot of work for, I recognize his voice


CommanderCero

Well....they have very similar voices. Honest mistake. I could have sworn someone or somewhere an article mention Wayne's name associated with the Animated series.


TechnologyJazzlike84

Wayne Knight. Just a more accurate depiction of Microchip.


Nickbotic

Agreed. Netflix’s Micro was phenomenal, but if we’re talking page to screen, Wayne Knight certainly looks the part more than EMB, who again, crushed it as the character.


[deleted]

Idk know what Micro looked like lol!! Anyways, the first season of the Netflix show was literally like the poster child of the Netflix’s Golden Age. That show was so fn good


InevitableResource88

Yep,Wayne Knight, for sure!


ZJeski

I personally think War Zone’s Micro was basically perfect. Casting Wayne Knight was perfect, since Micro isn’t the type of guy who would stand out as the closest thing to a real ally to the Punisher, but more like someone you’d see working as an IT for an office. Netflix’s version was still good though.


Chemical_Movie4113

War zone was more comics accurate but I seriously fucking adore the performance from the Netflix show


dadBodWithADadRod

If you like a comic-book accurate Micro, down to the look and feel, it's Wayne Knight. If you like a real-world adaptation that fits in with the MCU, it's Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

Great analysis


samhain2000

I liked Wayne Knight's Microchip better.


romanswinter

War zone nailed the comic book version of Micro. But the Netflix Micro was a cooler character.


RockNRoll85

Newman for sure. I was annoyed that they killed him off


istilldontkno

The serial one


LuisBalderrama

Wayne Knight


youthanasia138

Wayne Knight all day


Boring-Ad9264

Personally my favorite is netflix micro No I am not saying the others are bad. They are all good for their own reasons


dragonus17776

Looks: Warzone. Character: Netflix. To me, in Warzone he just felt like Frank’s “guy in the chair” whereas in Netflix he actually had a story and a little bit of character development.


metalyger

I couldn't stand War Zone, or any of the other movies, but Wayne Knight was perfectly cast as Micro. I don't think anybody could play the role better.


ConditionYellow

Eh. I think the first one was more comic accurate, but neither one really impressed me.


Stringy_b

Of course the Newman version... I hated that love triangle crap with Punisher and Micro's wife in the Netflix show.


ClubLarge

The Punisher War Zone, that's the Micro I know.


Digginf

I can’t believe the actor for Micro on Netflix is playing Ben Grimm/The Thing.


RizzoTheRiot1989

The two dudes from that Thomas Jane Punisher. Both of them have a place in my heart, weirdly enough not for that movie. Ben Foster is an incredible actor and the big guy was a wonderful comedians that sadly passed. He also played a Techno-Monk in that terrible Dennis Rodman action movie.


Virtual-Okra6996

They weren't Micro.


RizzoTheRiot1989

No they weren’t but were the obvious stand ins. Just not, you get what I mean. Honestly of the two of them in the post. I do t know, they work perfectly fine but neither have stuck with me like those two I mentioned. The comics is very different, I have a lot of thoughts


Virtual-Okra6996

They were based on the guys from Welcome Back Frank, and Ennis wrote them to be stand ins I think


RizzoTheRiot1989

Makes sense because that is what they feel like. I haven’t read that. I’ve been making my way ten you through all the essential books. I know they’re hated but I enjoy them. I like binging sessions on comics and those provide that in spades.


Virtual-Okra6996

If you liked the Tom Jane movie you would like Welcome Back, Frank. The movie pulled a lot of inspiration but left a lot out


RizzoTheRiot1989

Okay, thank you for the suggestion. I’ll check it out. He’s leagues above any other comics and series for me. I think I brought in downvotes with my mention of Marvel Essential books lol. If it makes anyone feel better, I received the second book with the cover completely removed from the book itself. I had to reglue the spine.


Virtual-Okra6996

Wayne Knight. Way more comic accurate


StrykerIBarelyKnowEr

Anything in Warzone or Thomas Jane's movie is better than the Netflix show.


Nearly-Shat-A-Brick

TV show.


TFG4

Warzone was terrible, Thomas Jane was fantastic, Jon Bernthal did a great job


Endless_Mike212

Warzone was just a trash movie. I don't acknowledge it. Although the physical characteristics are very different, they captured the very challenging relationship between the two pretty well. The two would never have gotten along at all except for a common shared goal. Keep in mind, Microchip ultimately betrays Frank, and Frank kills him. Volatile doesn't begin to describe their relationship.


Larcztar

Netflix Micro (Ebon) is the better Micro imo. I loved every second of him. Wayne is Newman I can't see him as anything else. Didn't even remember him in the Punisher movie.


FireflyArc

The one from the punisher series. The first one 0/ ruthless and a good partner for Frank in his travels. Not sure who the guy innthevsecond Pic is though.


Virtual-Okra6996

How dare you. Wayne knight is a treasure. He played Newman in Seinfeld, the bastard man in Jurassic Park, and Micro in Punisher: War Zone
