What's so fucked up about this character that isn't even worse in characters like Dirty Harry or Wolverine?
>>150805579Good people arent using wolverine logos, so hes allowed to be genocidal, mutant supremacist, mass murdering monster without issue.
>>150805579>Dirty HarryLeftists hate him too.Wolverine doesn't have stories centered around real-world issues. Ennis' MAX run makes lefties big mad because Punisher fought criminals that looked like real-world criminals. The plots about pederasts and human traffickers don't help it either.
>>150805655leftist this leftist thatstop bitching will ya
>>150805579Harry and Logan didnt shoot up funerals.
>>150805655Leftist here who loves Wolverine, Punisher, and Dirty Harry. Plenty of us do. Wanting free healthcare and education doesn't mean we don't enjoy some dirty cops or vigilantes.
>>150805579To state the obvious and pretend this isn't bait, Punisher is a bit "close to home" in terms of characters. Dirty Harry was a detective, implying years of career choices to get to that point, Wolverine is a mutant with superpowers and claws in his hands. Frank? Frank Castle is a broken man with more issues than a comic store long box that just picked up a weapon to wage a personal war.
>>150806112>free healthcare and educationThey're only "free" for freeloaders who don't pay taxes.
>>150805579I dunno. Why can't Punisher carry his own ongoing series? Probably something to do with being a shitty character.
>>150806270Is this really the path you want to go down?
>>150806270>free if you're not a retardwhat's the problem
>>150805655>Punisherfag brings up politics for no reason typical
>>150806279Even Captain America can't consistently hold one now adays.
>>150808856All "issues" surrounding the character stem from real-world politics and writers trying to use the comic as a mouthpiece.>>150805762I was just answering OP's question. Sorry if it that hurt your little chuddie sensitivities.
>>150805579I couldn't tell you. It can't be because he's one of the only heroes who kills because there's a ton that do. People have always complained about Dirty Harry or Death Wish also, critics called those movies fascist when they were released. I think the fact Frank is a character in American comics (where people like Mark Waid are still fighting for every hero to be a paragon of virtue) doesn't help. Ennis has even said that Punisher has more in common with the heroes in British comic strips like Battle and Action than most superheroes stateside. I think part of it is the skull stuff, part of it is overcorrection from people who resent how "edgy" comics got in the 80s through the 00s.
>>150805579The American public at large is full of idiots who think Frank is meant to be emulated as opposed to an ongoing tragedy and cautionary tale.
There have been superheroes running around for like 15 years in universe already. If you are so weak that a guy with PTSD and a gun can harm you, you don't deserve to live to begin with.
>>150809043I am OP and a liberal, this idea that Punisher is in some way a conservative character is a fabrication of the last 10 years of Chris Kyle wannabe cuckservatism
