Punisher One last Kill: Did they take the wrong lessons?

I just want to know one thing, how many things actually got together to make sure this one guy: John Berntha... I mean Frank Castle is relieved of his very valuable life, and in the process only turned him into a man with nothing to loose and hence their all collective worst nightmare.

Also this man does not move on does he?

Bro is perpetually in the cycle of not wanting to be the punisher and then being the punisher and then not being the punisher again and again and again.

We begin with Daredevil season 2 where he is out there killing literally everyone and then takes a bullet proof vest, paints a skull on it, right after he is defended by Matthew Murdock, Karen page and Foggy and then set free from jail by kingy boi.

And then it is teased that maybe he will be around killing things.

but switch to the punisher season 1: and he is a construction worker called Pete Castiglione Micro pulls him back in he kills literally everyone and then it is teased that maybe he will be around, killing things.

Switch to season 2 and after his secret identity is reformed by Dinah Madani, and he gets lucky with a bartender who has a kid, but some kid is being hunted in there and he is pulled back in, the Beaut is now Jigsaw who actually was the real person who killed his family and not the people he killed in Daredevil Season 2.

But he tries very hard to save Rache... I mean Amy.

As he sees a surrogate daughter.

The Bartender he slept with is threatened by John Pilgrim making it even more apparent to him that he cannot date.

And therefore must kill everybody.

Okay he doesn't just kill everyone just because... in fact the one time he does kill someone innocent he is devastated enough to just offer his hand to be poisoned.

And the point is while him killing things is definitely the main appeal of his character, it isn't he main point.

And...

I like Transformers did you know that?

Ah yes Punisher daddy I am flirting with you...

...sorry.

Anyways, point is, if you make a movie where he goes over and kills the actual actual actual people responsible for his Family's killing but for real this time, and then he is dissociating and hallucinating for long enough for people to catch up to him after he is given a direct threat by the one causing all this...

And then they catch up to him and he kills everyone yet again and that's the movie...

I...uh... for one.

I think he isn't exactly in the zone of dissociating right? Like he is past that zone? And he is in the I wanna kill everyone era?

And yet.... here he is?

Okay, I think I know what is happening here, the makers of this project realized that many people watching this special probably haven't seen the Punisher series, and at the same time they realized from their time with Daredevil Born Again season 1 that they can't just bring the characters and ignore the backstories that have been set up...

So... what to do but to retread the story?

And from that perspective, this is actually quite nice?

Like they did a very good job of summarizing his entire motivation and his character and showing his trauma and why he does what he does in a very small time...

And for what it is it is actually quite a good depiction of the Trauma that War Veterans face, and I mean, you can't exactly take a man make him a trained killer and then throw him away when you are done and expect no consequences.

So...

But from the perspective of the Punisher's story? I mean...

Well at least we got No No No No No No version two.

Okay I guess the number of Nos is less this time, the memer in me is very disappointed Punisher Bro.

But one good thing this special does is that it establishes why we side with Frank and hate every other Superhero Killer type person like Bullseye and Hellcat for example(Yes I have seen Jessica Jones season three well before Daredevil Born again season 2 got over I haven't had the time to write a post about it.)

The thing is, the Punisher knows he is wrong, and we all know he is wrong, and that is why he keeps himself in check.

Because the point is, the kind of world that the MCU is?

He is kinda needed.

But even so, his actions cause chaos, like we see in the beginning where because he killed the Gnuccis the world has actually gone to shit, Cats and Dogs being murdered together, mass hysteria.

Yes, this man is called Mickey. I knew that Disney shill was always evil Haha!!!

Okay to be clear no cat murderers exist in this movie(that we know of), but yes the movie literally starts with a Dog being killed.

John Wick Bro.

John Wick.

And the thing is it is this tendency for the Punisher to create chaos that comes to bite him in the ass, like after he killed all the Gnuccis, he left Ma Gnucci alive... and well... she is basically a him now.

Frank Created a himself.

And then we have his killing spree where he runs through burning oil to kill people.

And while all that is cool and all.

Ma Gnucci is still left alive, and provided we know what her fate is in the comics, it doesn't seem like things are gonna turn out well for her.

And the reason he lets her live is very important, he lets her live so that he can stop a nearby shop from being looted and its people being attacked by gangsters.

And once he does that and a little girl hugs him saying thank you, he realizes that probably killing himself isn't the best option and that he can probably stop other people from suffering what he suffered.

Truly embracing his Hero side.

And then he goes and Kills the Dog Killer, helping the Veteran who lost his dog.

He also returns his Hat.

What a nice Guy.

And maybe, this time, the Punisher logo sticks.

I am saying that because we see him in Spider-Man Brand New day and he is rumored to be protecting Sadie Sink's character.

So we will see I guess.

My problem is that why is this just a special? Like such a big job, why not give him a full season like you did Daredevil.

I guess Marvel is a little scared by Punisher and exactly how dark he really gets, so they wanted to test the waters a little first, but then what was Daredevil season one? He killed people there too?
