No, if you've read the Garth Ennis run of The Punisher then you would know that cops wearing punisher shirts is completely misunderstanding the character.
Like a lot of people, you have an idea of the character which is not the definitive version of the character.
If you read the Punisher and you come away from it thinking that vigilantism, murder and so forth is good then there is probably something very wrong with you.
- Kye 4y agoMy main exposure is from his Netflix Marvel show appearances. It's been a while, but I do distinctly recall thinking he went easy on the people involved considering what they did.
- Phileosopher 4y agoI have a working theory that mass appeal ruin the original content. To your credit, as a non-Punisher patron of geek arts, you're probably right. The spirit of the original comics is likely expressing a deeper message than most people could understand from a cursory glance and watching one of the dumbed-down movies. To your discredit, the population at large generates a mythos that transcends the character and strips away all sense of subtlety. To anyone who doesn't know the comics intimately, The Punisher is a guy who's like Batman with more brutality. And, at the risk of redundancy, I'm convinced this is true of pretty much any character, fictional or non-: caricaturization of their greatest qualities, then memorialized as a god of [subject matter expertise]. The _only_ time I've ever seen a deviation from this is when a character is hard to place because they're all over the map (e.g., Ben Franklin, Christopher Lee).
