Damn bro, even in a universe where someone else becomes the punisher, Frank Castle is still fated to a shitty existence.

[@KamenRider1]

I learned recently that, in old literature/stories, "meeting your destiny" doesn't necessarily mean a happy ending.. it usually means meeting your doom/death or something of the like. Hence Darth Vader and other characters in the original Star Wars trilogy urging Luke to "face his destiny". I guess that applies to Frank Castle. His destiny is to become The Punisher.

This legitimately made me sad though... Seems Frank is destined to become The Punisher no matter what.

[@fredwesley514]

I read this one a while back,they a bit behind but I’m glad they did a episode though

[@Tywil714]

This comic proves the real reason why heroes dont kill because there stories would only be 10 or less issues long if they killed their most dangerous enemies but honestly i like how this peter parkers story ended. He eliminated those who threatened him or his family, retires as spiderman, and gets to live out the rest of his days in peaceful with the women he loves. I love this peters attitude as well he knows he cant stop crime even if he killed every thug in the city its just human nature. He dosnt care, all thats left is ordianry drug dealers and gangsters that the police should can handle and peter is fine with that. Also this peter is not a wise cracking optimist like 616 peter. He dosnt want or sees himself as a hero especially with the daily bugle making him out to be a cold blooded killer even though that wasnt the case. This peter just wanted to protect his loved ones and in the end he gets his wish and is fine letting go of being spiderman.

[@matthewwilliams5879]

Ending those villains is both the most realistic and best possible outcome in comics. Where villains of the week have their moment in the spotlight who knows how much countless damage they cause in their selfishness and lives they take that's pushed to the side. I'm glad that Punisher Spider-Man was taken into this account and that is given a good result in turn with Gwen alive. He's earned his happy ending by saving lives by ending evil ones.

[@jamesclapham9776]

I think this iteration makes a LOT more sense for a lethal interpretation of Spider-Man than the assassin one.

[@noahbenitez6333]

I love that it didn't go the route of Peter killing every criminal he fought just those who were extremely violent. It's very logical and kinda connects to the character of Peter. Also it ending on a happy note was amazing as well.

[@charmamy1]

I know killing the villains doesn't make you better than them and isn't the hero's code but I am a fan of the punisher's type of justice. It's just cool, satisfying and just straight to the point. Sometimes I am infuriated seeing the same villains come back over and over again

[@jacoblikesbacon588]

Punisher's way of justice is a lot better since it ensures that criminals won't hurt innocents ever again

[@rnspurgn3015]

This one was really underwhelming to me for some reason. Aside from Peter killing his villains and Gwen surviving, nothing really groundbreaking or interesting happened. I expected it to dive more into the broken psyche of a Peter Parker who completely lost it but all we got was him just occasionally talking about guns. But still keep it up with the What If videos. I love hearing your narration!

"Spider-Man is the farthest thing from an anti-hero." Actually if memory of OSP's Trope Talk on anti-heroes is correct, then Spidey is actually just about a textbook definition of a classical anti-hero. Due to how often he struggles with self doubt and uses his head to overcome problems. Among other things.

@@hefoughtabear118 I didn't give a definition, I gave examples of qualities Peter has that makes him not very different from the very first anti-heroes in various stories... mostly mythology.

It would of been better if they merged Peter Parker with Frank Castle, and did a mixture of their backstories leading up to Punishing Spider, because his backstory being told the same way over and Over and OVER AGAIN!!!

He is the only survivor, and with his parents dead he moves in with his aunt and uncle...... ect. Like why couldn’t they do something like that?
