A kinder, gentler Punisher?


He passed on the opportunity on killing a crime boss telling him to get out of town, additionally, instead of killing a child pedophile that filmed underage girls, he simply burned down his place. What???

Yeah. This season is a massive disappointment for me. I don't think the writers really understand the character. Perhaps they think Frank is actually called The Forgiver rather than The Punisher.

You just know that crime boss is going to lay low for a while then recruit a hit squad of ex Spetsnaz/FSB Alpha/Vympel/Smerch guys and just come down like a tonne of bricks on Frank. Well, that's what I would do.

This is another example of how Punisher is different on his own show than in Daredevil Season 2. The Punisher of Daredevil Season 2 would NOT have let the child pornographer or the crime boss live.
