I liked the portrayal myself
What is so hard about making him the cop that he actually was? They want to make a statement about PTSD by insinuating that vets are violent.......they tried to hide it, but it is there all the same.
PTSD?
in this portrayal, he went off because his wife and child were killed in by hoods, and he was killing off hoods trying to find the one that caused that death.
Have you gotten to the trial yet? Where the lawyers say he has PTSD, and then when he refuses to go with that defense they get around him by using another term for the same thing....
By putting the bullet in his brain, they take away his self direction........he becomes not the guy who makes a choice...but a guy who can't stop what he is doing because of brain damage......
Is that The Punisher...someone doing what he is doing simply because he is brain damaged?
