Leftists have always hated The Punisher. I remember Joss Whedon had a huge bug up hiss ass about how Frank Castle never accidentally killed any civilians, he said it was NRA fascist bullshit. I guess Iron Man shooting lasers and missiles or Cyclops blasting buildings apart with his eyes and never causing any collateral damage is perfectly acceptable, but a trained soldier who carefully prepares and picks his targets with military precision is a bridge too far.
It’s doubly hilarious because the Black and Hispanic people Marvel desperately wants to court all love The Punisher.
Oh it's not verisimilitude that they're complaining about. Or rather, not in that way. As one of the other comments said, leftists hate the Punisher because in real life he'd be throwing them out of helicopters.
Their beliefs are an evil lie, in which they depend on compliant media to constantly soothe their cognitive dissonance.
The Punisher rebukes this. It's a piece of media that reminds them that in a just world they would be executed and regular people would cheer.
