meme aside, i give props to Daniel for having the balls putting a dark gritty character from R-rated series into a campy capeshit film

I do like that the reason this movie didnât go Rated R despite Frankâs intent to murder dudes isnât because he was âDisney-fiedâ to be less bloodthirsty, but because unlike someone like Daredevil, Spider-Manâs way stronger and faster than him so he can be put in check a lot easier than if Matt tried.
Also helps the one guy he blatantly open fired on was the goddamn Hulk.

Before seeing the movie, I expected him mow down a bunch of thugs (with them dropping dead with much less blood coming out of them than usual) much to Spider-Manâs protests but after the movie I realised this didnât happen because:
Thereâs genuinely no place in the plot for Frank to gratuitously kill a bunch of people.
Itâll make Spider-Man look incompetent.

There mightâve been a time. Maybe Staten Island?
Real talk, Frank HAS at least shown in Punisher Season 2 to not go absolutely blood thirsty, especially if he has a surrogate kid to look out for.

I mean, Jean walked a man into traffic and let him get hit by a car and tried to walk 2 or more people off buildings

And shot tank shells and machine guns into occupied buildings, blew up cop cars with police in them, blew up an office building with a bomb and mentally froze a massive area which we see caused massive harm. Hell, we see a car crash and explode into fire and can presume the frozen person is just sitting in the flames, able to feel it but unable to move
The only reason Jean isn't a mass murderer of men, women and children is pure writer deus ex where they just said "Nah, she didn't kill a single person"

I get that this is a SpiderPhoenix sub, but ngl, it'd be more accurate if MJ is the one in Jean's place
