Why Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ Finally Got the Punisher Right

9. He’s a Full Measure

Frank Castle is an unrelenting murderer, folks. When he decides to kill you, there is no amount begging or pleading that will get him to change his mind (except for that one thing with Spiderman). While this trait is admittedly prevalent in every incarnation of the character, that aspect of the Punisher’s ethos has never been used to such great effect as in Daredevil’s second season, when his ruthlessness is actually a major plot point. The fact that Frank Castle believes he has the authority to act as judge, jury, and executioner is what sets him apart from nearly every other hero on the books and that distinction can never be focused on enough.
