This month, though, Marvel officially declared the Punisher persona non grata, eliminating the character as readers know him. Did he go out in a blaze of glory? No, in typical woke fashion Frank Castle is captured by progressive heroes, chained up and forced to go through a struggle session in which he is admonished as a murderer and a terrorist. Marvel even brings the Punisher’s wife back from the dead, only so that she can divorce him and take his money and property, and then inform him that his lifelong crusade against the criminal underworld was all for nothing.
The character then “dies” from apparent suicide but the story is left open to his return, just not as the gun-toting hero people know and love.
Marvel writers, including original Punisher creator Gerry Conway, specifically cite the popularity of the character among conservatives as the reason for his virtual elimination. As Newsweek noted, the Punisher was “problematic” for Marvel because conservatives liked him too much. He represents the every-man: He has no superpowers, he’s not a billionaire like Batman, but he still fights evil with an immovable will and a lot of guns.

Good thing I care nothing about that crap
They use Feminist to write ,produce and direct and that’s what killed the M-She-U ,LOL
The left is terrified of fake insurrections and fictional characters who mete out justice. It’s good to take note of what the enemy fears. It will come in handy, when the inevitable day comes.
To each his own. For me, hard to get worked up about something that happens in comic books.
This is why the woke can’t stand him

First they came for the communist, but I wasn’t a communist, so I didn’t speak up.
Then they came for the....
The Netflix Punisher series was outstanding with Jon Bernthal being a total badass. That scene in the first episode where one killer escapes to Mexico thinking he’s home free only to get sniped by the Punisher from El Paso across the border...awesome.
But yeh, can’t go letting conservatives enjoying anything too much.

Marvel is a wholly owned subsidiary of disney.
No FReeper ought be either surprised or supportive of this by watching their crap.
Disney decision makers wake up each day wondering how can I piss off more conservatives, and lower the value of the business. Hope the company files chapter 7 in a few years.
I see this a perfect example of exactly how petty and childish the Left can be...
10 minute independent short film better than most of the crap out there today

So since they don’t need the Punisher logo, I guess it’s OK for others to use it now...
