Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
This is Marvel eating their own gun rather than taking just a knife to their face.
There are a lot of comics doing really fucking stupid things right now at Marvel and I'm not talking things that are likely politically motivated as this ending with the Punisher may be. Wait, that's incorrect. As this ending with the Punisher is. Because Jason Aaron couldn't help but include a full page in the very comic where he spergs about his feelings and how it affected his decisions with the story literally including the following,
Since the character's [Castle] first appearance in 1973, the ideas and symbols of The Punisher have come to mean many things to many different people.
Some of those I agree with. Some I very much don't.
How fucking arrogant does someone have to be to include that in the actual fucking comic?
In addition to this dumpster fire that has pissed off a large number of long term Frank Castle readers there is the stupidity of the ongoing Amazing Spider-Man run written by Zeb Wells. Wells who has the reverse Midas touch of turning gold into shit and somehow keeps getting work on Spider-Man related comics.
ASM #25 finally explained wtf had happened for so many characters to dislike Peter at the start of the run and the answer is: fuck all.
ASM #26 then followed up and is being talked about as being one of the worst Spider-Man stories ever, alongside One More Day which is 99.999% hated.
Then there is the coming Fall of X event that will likely return the X-Men and mutants to being near extinct underdogs after several years of actually catching a break and even founding their own nation. Hickman, as usual, set up an incredibly interesting new story for the X-Men like he did during his run writing The Avengers, however due to management disagreements ended up walking away from the current X-Men project because Marvel wanted to milk the setting in their own way. The excitement from readers for the current X-Men setting hasn't been seen for years but Marvel are determined to fuck over numerous comics in order to force MCU themes into every story.
I feel like it's a broad tradition for spider man reboots to start with "everyone hates Parker for some secret reason... oh wait they just hate him for no reason at all!"

Do you think if we all love Marvel comic characters a bit more, that they'll kill off all the characters and push themselves out of jobs?

The more I hear about Marvel, the more I'm glad I dropped them in '99.
How the fuck did they outdo OMD.

Even Ultimate Spider-Man v2 did that lol
Never mind I just read it. It's appalling.
