>The Punisher is, in many ways, a worst case scenario domestic terrorist and mass shooter who, unlike most actual mass shooters, is able to get repeatedly evade being apprehended.

>The Punisher series follows Frank as he continues to track down people connected to the gang violence that ultimately led to his family’s murder, and Frank’s introduction to the MCU has largely framed him as being a tragic antihero driven to darkness by happenstance. But what does it mean when the ostensible hero of a story is willing to go on a seemingly endless shooting spree in order to exact the kind of justice he wants to see in the world?

>Frank’s willingness to kill and his ability to outmaneuver virtually everything in Netflix’s slice of the MCU makes seeing him as a hero, tortured or otherwise, somewhat difficult. He’s usually presented as a hero because he’s waging war against people who do heinous things. But he’s still a killer. A character as objectively twisted and misunderstood as the Punisher doesn’t just need a supporting cast of people who can literally kick his ass. He deserves a story where his dark impulses can serve as a metaphor for how society’s failings create lost souls who think it’s okay to take the lives of others.
