But Punisher...I don't know, he seems like such a dead end.

Dan, because their primary audience is kids and because they still portray their characters heroic. Even the Punisher mags did.

Except that there's this place called the USA where many people believe that's the elementary definition of every hero!

I can't even tell if that's hyperbole or idiocy.

(xpost: Is the protagonist of "Memento" a hero or an antihero? Also, did you miss the bit where we were specifically talking about THE PUNISHER and the rather ludicrous idea that he's supposed to be a heroic character?)

vigilante: One who takes or advocates the taking of law enforcement into one's own hands.
Superman killed, too!
― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 4 August 2005 17:27 (eighteen years ago) link
I didn't see it. From the trailer I assumed that the killer he's looking for is actually himself or some lame twist like that but I don't know anything else about it.
Also, did you miss the bit where we were specifically talking about THE PUNISHER and the rather ludicrous idea that he's supposed to be a heroic character?)
Yes. I thought your comment was still in reference to Batman. Still, I think it's difficult to draw a line when American culture has idolized so many murderous characters.

Wrong!
