Apparently #Marvel retired the original skull logo for #ThePunisher because it was being used by alt right extremists.
Are they really that surprised that a pro America white terrorist is relatable to alt right groups? I've only watched the #MCU#Netflix shows, but he was never portrayed as any sort of hero.
@sun@icedquinn@vriska Yeah it's tough, it's murder but most of the people he killed technically deserved it (slight spoilers but he murders gang members in #Daredevil S02 and corrupt military officials in #ThePunisher S01)
He didn't need to kill the gang members at all but I get why he killed those military officials, they were so corrupt they would have been able to get themselves out of jail in any situation
@icedquinn@vriska@sun Well, he doesn't really make sense in most superhero contexts. He has no superpowers beyond being "really good". I kept having to pinch myself while watching #ThePunisher because it didn't feel like it was #Marvel-related at all, even with #Daredevil cameos.
I don't think that the #MCU could or would do anything without characters who have superpowers. I think the only time they've done this is #Hawkeye.
@why@icedquinn@vriska@sun True. I'm noticing this problem as I'm going through the #Marvel#Netflix shows; the #Daredevil series, which is a tentpole of the franchise, has a very #Batman-esque "killing make you bad" ethic; but the heroes have to kill someone in #TheDefenders and now we have #IronFist and in some cases #LukeCage (in S02) killing people...it kinda weakens the case the #ThePunisher is a bad guy.
