I mean, they glorified the punisher. So this isn't surprising.
I haven't seen the show and barely know the Marvel character, but even as a violent killer/vigilante, he's far from the monster Homelander is, right ?
Or did they make him racist/homophobic/patriot/etc to appeal the "alt-right" viewers ?
as far as i remember the punisher is basically a violent anarchist vigilante who kills anyone he deems a criminal, including corrupt politicians and cops. so basically they missed the point of the character.
In the new Daredevil, Punisher is captured by MAGA cops (effectively) and he just scoffs at them.
