Poor Rodney, having to defend his perfectly legitimate opinion. :P

The Punisher is a vigilante. He does what most people only think about but would never do. He’s our Id, our fantasy ego. He’s something that we all have fantasized about, being able to kill someone who made us mad or did society wrong and get away with it and with a sense of righteousness.

Who hasn’t wished death upon some scum out there? Haven’t you fantasized about kicking the shit out of him and maybe even kill the sombitch? That’s what the Punisher is for, to vent our frustration with society when it seems unfair.

The plot from this film sounds like it was lifted from about half a dozen westerns. Primarily “The Outlaw Josse Wales” starring Clint Eastwood.

Rodney old chap, he’s just following the classic piece of advice: “fight fire with fire”

He pays when he dies. He knows he’s breaking the law, but he sees it as a necessary action.

I think this controversy, not to mention the obvious dichotomy you’ve pointed out, makes him such a great character. Read up on it, hopefully you’ll come to understand, and perhaps, enjoy the character. Get any of the Marvel Max series by Garth Ennis, if you don’t like it, I’ll personally pay for the comic.

Rodney no one is saying you are wrong about him being a murder but what make him different is he does an evil thing so that the good people don’t suffer.

And he let his partner who sold him out shoot himself. If he was such a bad person he would have killed himself oh and killed people who were related to him yes he did kill Travoltas wife kids but they were all evil people there was not one person he killed that was a good person.

Klendathu? When does the Punisher have to pay?

He is worse than his victims.

Rodney….The Punisher ISN’T a superhero, get that thought out of your head. He’s an assassin, a vigilante, and yes, a murderer. Sure, it’s true he doesn’t have any qualms when it comes killing or torturing a bad guy. He’s definitely got a warped mind, but it’s not hard for one to justify his actions because, despite all of this, he does it for the right reasons.

Anyhow, to put it simply Frank Castle believes in moral absolutes, you sin, you pay.

I’m pretty sure he was always known as The Punisher…I’d have to check my little archive to be sure though. The 70’s version was certainly called by that name.

guys remember that the punisher IS kind of a bad guy hence he started out as a vilain in spiderman as “reaper” or demolisher i dont remember the name it was something like that

@steven
agree with you 100%. frank castle is the only character with no tights or cheesy vilains. his story is the most down to earth

@ rodney
if my whole family was killed the way that howard saint kkilled his family, i would do it too. and the only reason he does what he does and didnt kill himnself is because he wants to help inocent people that were murdered and law didnt do anything about it- to get the guys who never get caught.
when thye show the whole moral thing in comic books that in part is to make kids look up to those characters but in real life if i were daredevil or batman i would have killed whoever murdered the ones i loved

if something like that happens you completely forget about morals
