Marvel being pushed to "retire" The Punisher
Posted on 1/11/21 at 2:07 pm

Voices calling for Marvel to retire the Punisher and/or his logo following its continued adoption as a symbol of hatred and division have increased following the riots at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Last week, multiple rioters were seen sporting a modified version of the iconic character's logo as they stormed the Capitol in an act of domestic terrorism.
quote:
A former marine, countless writers have been clear that the Punisher is first and foremost a murderer driven by vengeance, putting that above the patriotism and sense of duty he long ago left behind. The Punisher himself has admonished police for wearing his logo, clarifying that it has no place alongside the duty to protect and serve, but that hasn't stopped it showing up on the uniforms of cops and soldiers, as well as in Blue Lives Matter demonstrations and at the Capitol this weekend.
quote:
Mitch Gerads, who was the primary artist for 2014's Punisher series said Marvel needs to retire the logo until it's no longer used as a symbol of hatred.
quote:LINK
The discourse on social media has offered potential solutions instead of Marvel retiring the Punisher for good that would make sense if the publisher continues with the character. The first being drastically shifts who the Punisher is - make him fight systemic injustice, abuse of power, and everything the rioters are against. Another option is to allow the Punisher title to pass to a character of color - as has been done with many other Marvel heroes (and even the Punisher before) - in order to turn away those who would project a theme of racial hatred onto the character.

Its just a cool skull logo. I dont think it has anything to do with the character itself.

Hopefully the next time someone rushes the capital they will sport a flower logo all over the place so that they ban the image of flowers and anyone caught buying flowers will be labeled a piece of shite nazi.

I swear I just saw a guy wearing a Punisher logo shirt saying “Black Power” last week.
Will they also be asking Bill Waterston to pull all publishing of Calvin and Hobbes books until the pissing Calvin has been retired?

It’s a series which follows a guy who kills criminals for a living, which is going to be ultra-violent by nature.
When you have him doing goofy shite, the character doesn’t work.
OTOH, disemboweling a Balkan human trafficker by stringing his guts on the trees is much more his style.

Whole thing is fricking stupid but you know who the single biggest groups of people he kills are? White people, by a long shot.
While he took on Triads, the Cartels, Jamaican Yardies, etc, his arch-enemy is chiefly the Mafia which killed his family. Who are white.

Joker will get cancelled for crippling and possibly raping Batgirl.

Need to get a bunch of protesters at the inauguration to wear BB-8, Rey and Finn shirts and start identifying themselves as The Resistance so maybe Disney will scrap the sequel trilogy and retcon the whole thing

Why do people take a few people on twitter having an extreme view of cancelling something as a widespread movement?
If people read the article itself it says that most people " want Marvel to enfore the Trademark and prevent people from using it" not cancel the image or character

Disney is like...
Imagine if you heard that a multi-billion corporation was going to back a champion to fight for you..
And a twink walks out.

Found the problem. Can we please stop worrying what the frick is on social media? SM will be the downfall of this country, if it hasn't started to unravel it already.

another shitty article where a writer does a twitter search that has the same pussy feelings he does about something, slaps together a few quotes and then adds a headline that would lead you to believe this is the opinion of masses and not just a few sensitive pussies.

As are the cops, conservatives and authority-loving racists who've adopted the logo of a cop-killer who hates authority. If the Punisher should be retired, it's because the idiots of the world don't deserve him.
