[QUOTE="Scruffy nerf herder, post: 8559104, member: 7034614"] The Punisher has interesting history and motivations, and he's kind of a perfect example of a fan favorite who is fun to watch AND unambiguously evil sometimes. Maybe some people think that's weird or a problem playing that kind of character 😶 but he's very stylish and interesting and fun. It's fun to portray villains. Make of that what you will but it's still something we all can observe. The Punisher is an anti-hero done right. He wants to do good, on some core personal level, but his moral compass is so thoroughly compromised that he doesn't completely have a grip on reality any more. The things the government had him do as "one of the good guys" has done more than a little to develop this situation. The war crimes aspect doesn't get mentioned enough. It's a classic, well trodden way of presenting someone who may be villainous but still capable of making you feel conflicted. [/QUOTE]
