dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

It's even worse than that

So, Frank ends up becoming an avatar for The Hand (evil ninjas), he stops using guns for a minute and switches to ninja magic and swords

Then they use their evil ninja ways to bring his wife back to life so he can make a clean break from his past and embrace being an unstoppable killing machine or something

He can't kill his wife, so he turns on The Hand

Then his wife calls him a monster, takes all the money he made being a vigilante (somehow) and leaves him

Frank has his big "What have I done?" moment and ends up leaving for another dimension where he still kills people, it's just different for some reason

Then some other white guy who's a Rogue SHIELD agent takes up being The Punisher because he hates crime too

It solves none of the actual issues around the character and instead just makes him a fuckin' cop who does the job with lasers

It's asinine, but then again, most comics are

I spontaneously remember why I keep my Punisher reading to MAX and some select storys lol

Yeah, it's very telling how they ignore the best way to deal with chuds being associated with the character is via legal action against them using the Skull

And hell, if they want to make it a story thing, literally have the Punisher go after chuds, he's done it before

Just do a big storyline where he's hunting down a bunch of them who have taken up using his name and symbols to hurt innocent people

I'm not even a professional writer and I could do this shit fifty times better than they are

This is modern-Spiderman-comics level of fucking terrible character ideas.

I love Spider-Man and yeah, at this point there's far more bad Spider-Man than good
