Their work is currently going viral all over social media, thanks to one particular shot in the new Marvel TV special,The Punisher: One Last Kill.Near the end of the show — and this is not really much of a spoiler — Jon Bernthal’s Punishergoes one-on-a-million against a nearly endless army of thugs. The battle spills out onto the rooftop of Frank Castle’s apartment building, where one of the goons shoves Frank over the side.

In the shot in question, the Punisherfalls and crashes into some kind of big metal box — maybe an air conditioner? — on the ledge below. Only it’s very clearlynotJon Bernthal doing the crashing; at least not a flesh-and-blood Jon Bernthal. It looks more like some weird digital double, flopping and flailing about.

According toThe Hollywood Reporter, this shot was not unfinished — or even an entirely CGI character. They claim, per “a source” that “this is a real in-camera shot” in which Jon Bernthal’s stuntman “took over for the impact shot.” The only special effects involved were supposedly used to swap the stuntman’s face for Bernthal’s.

While it might be hard to believe now that The Avengers is one of the biggest brands in all of popular culture, things got so dire for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in the 1990s that Marvel desperately tried a series of shakeups to the property in an attempt to juice interest and sales. One of the sweatiest was a storyline called “The Crossing,” which introduced several new (quickly forgotten) characters, like the very ’90s-ish Deathcry, and turned the Wasp into a bug lady rather than a normal woman who shrinks. Worst of all, the story revealed Iron Man had been a sleeper agent for Kang (yep, that Kang) for years. The rest of the Avengers were so desperate to stop this evil Tony Stark after he went on a murder spree that they traveled back in time and recruited a teenage Tony Stark to help them beat his older self.
