Daredevil and Punisher Argument

Rooftop Argument from Daredevil season 2 episode 3

[@blitzkriegdragon013]

This is one of the best philosophical debates in television history.

[@knivez786]

i agree because it has the audience thinking who's method works better when it comes to dealing with criminals Same with civil war it got you questioning whether the avengers need to be controlled by government or given free reign to do what they want

[@blitzkriegdragon013]

It's also cool because they get to the core of each argument, and attack both head on.

[@knivez786]

i am gutted that Dawn of Justice was not like this Snyder fucked up Batman v Superman 3 years of build up and that is what fans were given as a result the Ultimate edition was slightly better but the main fault was the script and Snyder is at fault becuse he authorized that script to be used for the movie i fear for JL this year due to him being the one that directed it

[@blitzkriegdragon013]

Right? That movie could have been about the debate of revenge vs justice, and where the line is drawn and how we define each. But it was bogged down with just poor pacing. I hope JL is at least a good action movie.

[@1LIFEtoWIN]

That's why Punisher made such a great antagonist to Daredevil, because of the deep moral debate.

[@mc_axolotl2240]

Comic fact: Ghost Rider's penance stare, which affects people who have sinned, does nothing to Punisher, because he feels no regret killing criminals.

Yep. And when Daredevil called Frank insane at the end, I noticed how both sides are partially right. Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome. That’s precisely what Daredevil does; he has the same people arrested or injured (or killed, in Nobu’s case), and it doesn’t work, yet he continues to do it, expecting a different outcome.

Here's the problem with Daredevil's argument: yes, some people deserve a second chance, but what message does that send to future criminals who wanna commit heinous crimes? It shows that people can get a 2nd chance and maybe do the same heinous act against an innocent person. Frank's argument makes more sense because of the message it sends: You a rapist, pedophile, etc? You're gonna go in the morgue. No questions. It prevents, or atleast makes people think twice about doing those sort of crimes ever.

If you don't believe that someone who takes lives by force and unjustly has the right to have their life taken by force then you're insane. I guess in you're opinion we should just release all the lifers in prison or release people on death row or all the rapists back into society so that they might try and not harm others by default.

@@JazzyUnderscoreTrumpeter Yeah sometimes people just see too much of the bad things than recognising the good things. The world isn't black and white and not everyone who did wrong was bad and redemption was possible in very bad people too.

[@freighttrain7143]

@@JazzyUnderscoreTrumpeter What makes vigilantes who won't kill unrealistic isn't that regular people DON'T believe in not killing, even criminals. Obviously most people have that moral fiber. What makes it unrealistic is that yes, lots of people wouldn't believe in killing, but virtually ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE would never feel the need for vengeance against criminals that is required to become a vigilante. Likewise anyone with enough burning vengeance against criminals, would find it also REMARKABLY difficult to not kill the worst of them. So, I don't see ANYONE 'shitting' on DDs convictions. I see people remarking on the serious implausibility of a VIGILANTE who risks his life and serious jail time, to punish criminals, and then also will only punish them so much, and stop before risking their lives. It's more unrealistic than most of what else happens in these shows. That's all.

[@JazzyUnderscoreTrumpeter]

@@freighttrain7143 respectfully, I've seen many people just outright say that DD is being an immature idiot. His way is obviously less pragmatic, but the reason he believes what he believes and acts the way he acts is super important for his character. I see people dismissing him completely because he doesn't do things Frank's way. I love their dichotomy, and it's not really an argument with an easy answer. I don't think it's inaccurate while going through multiple comments sections to say that people are outright shitting on his convictions. They're free to do so, obviously, it just annoys me to see, and I'm clearly in the minority. I appreciated the comment I replied to because it was one of the few reasonably worded ones I could find.

There’s nothing wrong with something feeling like a comic book at all, these ARE comic book characters after all and some of the best arcs of this show ARE best on comic book storylines here as you can make comic characters sound EXACTLY like real people all the time. No idea on where your coming from when you say but you’re completely wrong to do and say so!

[@JustapErson]

@@Gadget-Walkmen He's not wrong at all. The comic books are obviously a much inferior way of telling stories, the dialogue is not written nearly as well. Compare the scene to the comic and there's probably a clear winner. Clearly here inspiration is better than adaptation, hence why (I think) everything that marvel does is inspired by instead of adapted.

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

@@JustapErson He IS wrong entirely AND you are as well as NOTHING you've said here makes ANY sense at all as there are COUNTLESS comic books that have VASTLY superior style of storytelling when your properly tell a story WITHIN that medium such as Watchmen, The Killing Joke, Batman: Hush, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen are all WAY better than their live actions and animated film counterparts because of how well the story is told here. You BADLY saying that "tHe cOmIC bOoKs Are ObIVoUsLY a MuCH inFerIoR wAy oF teLlIng StORiEs" is 100% WRONG as NOTHING about comic books are "inFeRioR" in ANY way if you actually bothered to see how fantastic ways stories have been told through mediums. "the dialogue is not written nearly as well." LOL Just no. spoken like someone whose NEVER read a comic as there is countless comic books with phenomenal dialogue that's better than even movies like Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Ultimate Spider-man, The Killing Joke, Daredevil: Born Again. You have NO idea on what you're talking about at all when you say this nonsense of "tHe dIaLOgue iS nOt WrItTeN nEaRlY aS wElL.", lol just no. The dialogue is written PHENOMENALLY and spectacularly well and done. The Dialogue is written JUST as well if you actually bothered to see how well written they all are. The only thing you've established here is that you've NEVER read a comic book in your life or you completely failed to understand how excellently well done they are for you to be spewing out this nonsense right here entirely in ANY way, that' for certain. "Compare the scene to the comic and there's probably a clear winner." This scene isn't pulled from ANY specific comic at all and just because it's live action, doesn't mean it's good at all. There are plenty of comic book that are WAY better than it's live action and animated counterparts like The Killing Joke, Watchmen, Batman: Hush, as I've mentioned beforehand and the source material of the comic are WAY better overall in comparison. The "probably clear winner" is whatever is done RIGHT within it's own medium correctly as there is such thing as a BAD adaption, which you fail to notice here whenever you say anything here at all. "Clearly here inspiration is better than adaptation," There is no "cLeArLy hErE" AT ALL as all it matters is WHAT the context is for one to be better than the other in the SPECIFIC situation you're talking about here. Inspiration and adaption can ONLY be as good as whatever they're doing within their own medium, that's it. "hence why (I think) everything that marvel does is inspired by instead of adapted." Obviously whatever Marvel does is inspired by comics than directly adapting any specific storyline EXACTLY as it was but like I said, Marvel does a excellent job at doing what they do through inspiration from what's been done in THEIR specific context, just like other Cinematic Universes should do so as well. In other cases, adapted stories can be done FANTASTICALLY well from adaption of any comic storyline and it can be just as amazing as any inspired by storyline, like I said, it all depends on what's been done on a case by case scenario which you don't get AT ALL here in the slightest.

[@kalgarc]

But here's the rub: not everyone is capable of redemption.

[@BadBloodwillout]

not everyone is capable of redemption, but some people are. If someone kills your family etc, and you kill that person, personally I wouldnt blame you for it (even though you probably... shouldnt..) But that doesnt mean that objectively that person is incapable of becoming better, or that that person didnt have a reason to do what they did. Even if it's just that they were paid to do it, as disgusting as that might be. Or in Frank's case, if your family just got in the way of a gang fight (which he thinks is what happened). There's no way that out of the lets say 100 people Punisher kills, every single one of them is an evil rotten bastard down to their core, even if one out of 100 of them really is. You can't know that if you were under the same circumstances you wouldnt have been a criminal yourself. You cant know what lead them down that path, or what they would do if they were given a way out. It's not like he's exclusively going after the big crime bosses either, everyone is fair game to him. Of course in a life or death situation you dont have time to contemplate everyone's sob story, but the Punisher basically goes out of his way to kill people and he's proud of it too.

[@btp248]

While that's possible that redemption can occur you have to remember that they stole someone else's life and opportunities to grow. They aren't more worthy of life than the people they killed. Even if they could change they forfeit that chance when they steal it from others. If you kill an innocent you don't deserve the second chance you didn't give them. It's not just about killing. There will always be a difference between killing an innocent person and an evil person.

He kills serial rapists, murderers, and kidnappers. He goes for the lowest society has to offer and DD sees everyone as a first time offender in his eyes so he alwayse thinks another chance is an option. For these types of human beings, they gave up that chance a long before they ran into him or the Punisher. Even the justice system itself agrees with Frank to a degree, as some crimes can literally earn you a lawful death as punishment.

[@TheFirstCurse1]

​@@qualicumjack3906No he isn't. There are a good amount of criminals who change their ways and become good, functioning members of society. This has been the case billions of times throughout Human history. However, not all criminals are like this. So both Frank AND Matt are right, and they're both wrong. And that's the point. Neither has a perfect argument and they're both extremely flawed

[@Kira1Lawliet]

I'm with Frank on this. Because heroes like Daredevil, Batman, Spider-Man, all the heroes who refuse to kill because they believe a person can be redeemed, are always making an implicit moral calculation when they say that, and it's that the potential good in an evil person is worth sacrificing the actual good in all the innocent victims they hurt. And I think that's a terrible moral position to take. If the point of being a hero is to make the world a better place filled with goodness, then it only makes sense to get rid of the people who snuff that goodness out, even if a tiny bit of goodness can be found in them.

[@Kira1Lawliet]

@@nobody-fp5is It's really no different than what we and every other society has done throughout human history. That's why the counterargument makes no sense. The history of humanity is a history of governmental bodies defining the boundaries of morality, deciding who is deserving of punishment/death or not. For thousands of years, the decisions delivered by these governing authorities were about as arbitrary as any rogue vigilante, only compounded and legitimized by the overbearing power of the state. Even in the modern world, we haven't really come that far. Our so-called justice systems are only distinguished by virtue of the number of people (jurors) who get to decide on a person's fate, and judges who have to abide by specific punishments regulated by, again, an overbearing authoritative governmental institution. All of these are just as arbitrary as what Frank Castle does, and the way we do things is no more accurate or fool-proof than what Castle does, regardless of how much we like to pretend that it is. Innocent people get sentenced to death row or life in prison in our justice system all the time, and guilty people go free all the time. Perhaps juries and courts are slightly better at not making these kinds of mistakes than vigilantes would be, but I'm willing to bet that they aren't that much better. And even then, the actual punishments meted out to criminals are completely arbitrary, the decision of any jury no matter how seemingly unprejudiced is going to be colored to some degree by bias, and judges are likewise biased regardless of how much we think otherwise. This idea that a liberal judicial system is a more functional alternative to vigilante justice is a joke, and society believes it because it's only marginally true and it makes people feel more secure. You could argue that vigilante justice is often excessive in its retribution, and I can agree to that. On the other hand, the criminal justice system is often not nearly hard enough on big-time criminals, and also too hard on people who have committed very trivial offenses. The only reason that a justice system is preferable to vigilante justice is because it keeps society stable and orderly, and it makes people feel comfortable with the state of things.

[@bagser1]

There's one major problem with that view though: What if you get it wrong? I'm sure you've heard the stories about innocent bystanders in active shootings who took down the shooter only to get shot dead when the cops arrive on the scene. The cops' actions in that moment make sense, they're showing up to a shooting gallery and when they arrive they find a bunch of dead bodies and a guy with a gun in his hand but when they unload on him they're killing an innocent man.

[@Kira1Lawliet]

@@bagser1 Juries and judges get things wrong too. Plenty of innocent victims have gone to prison for life or death row through juridical incompetence or malpractice, or through pure jury bias. Whether it's one lone vigilante or a court full of people, you can't escape bias and human error. The justice system doesn't make the "what if you're wrong" problem go away.

[@awesomerad6022]

It’s really a question of morality most of the time for people the logical choice would be just to kill said villain like the joker etc but at the same time if you kill every bad guy that comes what’s the difference between you and them.Killing someone is still. A sin whether if they deserved it or not

[@Kira1Lawliet]

@@awesomerad6022 No, it doesn't make us the same. I really hate when people say that. It's one of the dumbest, most morally inept statements probably ever made. No, killing somebody who likes to murder innocent people or rpe people or do any other heinous crime, DOES NOT make us the same as them. You know why? Because the people we'd be killing aren't innocent. When you say shit like that, what you're actually doing is morally equating people like the Joker to the people he kills, which is a morally reprehensible and nonsensical thing to say. There are already millions of ways that "we" are better than "them." If killing was the only thing that separated "us" from "them", then you're basically saying that everyone is already a monster and no one is good.

[@chocomaniac2069]

Acute Cloudd yeah SOME people really can change... but how about some that unable to? how many victim has to suffer from them before they finally change?

[@markcobuzzi826]

+Thossaphorn Asawachinachot One thing that can then complicate things even further is that if one builds a culture, where the common mindset is “once a bad guy, always a bad guy”, then this could become a self-fulfilling prophecy that increases the amount of irredeemable monsters in society, the very thing which is often provided as proof that Punisher’s methods are needed in the first place. (a bunch of extra thoughts below): If a person has done something horrible in the past, but still feels a grain of genuine guilt and conflict, then being surrounded by people who basically voice the message of “men like you can never change” is not going to help him. If anything, that might convince him even further that he cannot change, making it even more likely that he will not even try to get off of his current path. In those hypothetical cases, then that could still increase the amount of people he/she hurts before being caught/killed. Similarly, Punisher definitely has an important point when he says that the justice system is screwed up, sick with corruption, and/or inept. But at the same time, if everyone believes as he does that becoming a vigilante who executes criminals is the only choice left, then that only increases the chances of us having a future where nobody even tries to fix our justice system. In short, the justice system might become broken beyond repair, but possibly only because everyone treats it as such. It is kind of like Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”, with the one difference being that it involves a man/system who actually is somewhat of a monster having its destiny of becoming an even worse monster (or at least not turning good) further sealed, whereas Frankenstein’s creature actually was innocent and child-like, only to have its fate of growing into a monster be sealed by society treating him as one. I can sympathize with both of their points of view. I think what sums up the differences between Punisher and Daredevil’s mindsets is that Daredevil is willing to take a risk, for better or worse, in hopes that the door for a better society/humanity can be opened. Punisher is convinced that it is not possible for society/humanity to get much better, so he does what he feels will at least guarantee that it cannot get worse than it already is.

[@wesleywallace4426]

Acute Cloudd No, Punisher can be right. In the real world if the cops tell you surrender you do so or get shot. Matt has a point that they should *try* to bring criminals to justice, but it’s foolish to say no killing them no matter what. Sometimes it’s them or some innocent family.

[@SuperDuperCooper08]

What's great about this argument is that neither of them are wrong.

[@arkhamknight9001]

I would definitely side with Punisher on this one. The problem for fighting for Truth and Justice in the world of superhero is that the battle never ends. The hero brings the villain to jail only for the villain to go out and cause chaos once again. I think Joker from Injustice 1 said it well. "You think you can have a family. That locking me up will magically reform me. And they'll be safe. So big, so dumb."

[@anjaneyasreetrout2444]

Honestly the no-kill rule is for superheroes who are either naive or just won't see they're error. In a crossover between Marvel and DC when Punisher was about to kill the Joker, Batman arrived and just allows him to run away. In my opinion the Cons far outweighs the Pros. While people will call anti-heroes psychopaths, murderers, or among other thing. They do what no other heroes could never do. End the War between villains and heroes. Of course that is if anyone who has the guts to step up on the big table and took his/her place. Then good luck.
