Is the Punisher REALLY insane?

Frank knows what he is doing is wrong...there fore I would say he is sane.
 
Insane? No.

Just really really angry .... all the time.
Yeah that's the perfect description of him! He's not crazy but just fed up with the failure of the system. Plus he's a soldier and has declared war on crime. Bruce Wayne: now he's crazy! He has no powers but dresses up like a bat. Wouldn't it have made sense to have a iron suit that does everything like another certain billionare?
 
The incident where Punisher shot at jaywalkers- I don't think he actually killed them- was a result of being drugged up on some heavy-duty hallucinogens that Jigsaw slipped him while in prison. By the way, if you read the original Punisher mini, Circle of Blood, a prison psychiatrist who examined Frank states that "he tests so sane now [that all of the drugs are out of his system] that it's spooky." My two cents: he's not any crazier than the any utilitarian-minded head of state, who sleeps soundly at night knowing that he has caused the deaths of 1000's of people in the name of what he percieves to be the greater good. Not trying to get political, just trying to think of real world people who might be responsible for as much death as Castle is.
 
Are you saying that we are safer with Castle as President than we are with Bush?! :eek: Well......they are close in body count but Castle is a lot smarter! LOL! Can you imagine Castle as President and he thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction?! That will make a great comic!
 
I think the Punisher is insane. The fact that he has a 'code of conduct' means nothing. His code of conduct is the thing that makes him insane. He feels, as others have stated, that he is judge, jury and excecutioner, and therefore can justifiably lump everyone in the world into two groups: those who he's going to kill, and those he isn't. There's no notion of reform for him, no sense that people can make mistakes, no sense of just cause. The people he kills may have felt that they were in the right for killing someone, and yet he judges them guilty, simply for doing once or twice what he has done tens of thousands of times. Case in point for Punisher being mad: the end of Ennis' 'Welcome Back, Frank' arc, the three vigilantes ask him to be in their 'gang', and he shoots them all. Now I admit that Elite and Mr Payback were the two extremes of the spectrum, and were definitely insane by the Punisher's rules, by The Holy was only doing what the Punisher has been doing for years, and yet he shoots him. The man is genuinely insane. And comparing him to The Joker is like comparing Hitler to my Grandad: they're both racists, by all means, but one is slightly more than the other. same with The Joker. He's mental, clearly, but so is the Punisher, just in different degrees.

So to conclude the concluding part of my conclusion: The Punisher is insane.
 
You mean those who break the law? :huh:

I'm pretty sure he uses common sense most of the time...I have never seen him go round shooting jay walkers for example. I have no problem with him offing rapists, muggers, etc, because they cross a line of physical violence and intimidation for the sake of it. Surely even you can't make these guys out to be innocent victims? I mean do you really think these aren't genuinely bad people? Really?

Actually he has shot litterbugs and Jaywalkers.

Edit: Too late, someone already mentioned it.
 
Frank's killed less then criminal people before on his own free will. That's the point of all this.


When though?

And your point was in relation to Harlekin saying he killed a jay walker, but failed to mention it was not of his own free will and due to outside forces....so it was spun in a different way, so clearly you were wrong.

If you can show me frank killing non criminals of his own free will, show it. Scans, issue numbers and full descriptions...have some proof at least before you spew things off.
 
Ok, show me proof that he is not insane, scans, issue numbers and full descriptions. Have some proof at least before you spew things off.

But said someone failed to mention the whole ''Jigsaw slipping him hallucenegenics'' scenario, and the fact that he shot at them, not shot them. See what I mean photo? You can spin things by editing out and ommitting details and scenarios.

Frank castle shot jaywalkers in reality seems to be under hallucenegenics slipped to him by Jigsaw, he went temporarily insane and shot at jay walkers heavily under the influence of said drugs.

I know you are a liberal, but try not to b e even more of an idiot. You MUST be able to tell that someone ommitted several facts out of the jaywalker scenario, hence why I would prefer to read it myself. Don't be an idiot, Darth. I know you aren't stupid, despite some of your recent posts and political beliefs. Naive, yes, stupid, no.

:huh:

My political beliefs have nothing to do with this. Good job trying to throw a smoke screen. You asked someone to prove something, ok great. I'm asking you to prove to me that Frank Castle is not insane. With actual proof not biased opinions.

LOL Your political beliefs are idiotic, so despite that, I know you aren't stupid.

And your post may have merit....if I hadn't asked for THOUGHTS and opinions about if he is insane ;)

Nowhere did I say it was true one way or the other, just what I think...so really, really nice try, but you fail at reading.

Plus, someone just said the issue in which a therapist said that he was even more sane than ever after a test, so there's ''proof'' I guess, even though that wasn't anything to do with the original question :P

You owned yourself darth...twice :(

I owned myself in your little Bizarro world.

And again, what do my political beliefs have to do with The Punisher being insane. That's what we call diverting attention. You're an idiot, have been found to be an idiot, and have proven yourslef to be an idiot. So now you're trying to divert attention from that fact that well, you're an idiot and recklessly naive to think all the world's problems are solved with a bullet to the head.

You owned yourself by:

Asking proof for an opinion (how does that work exactly?), and then glossing over a post which apparently did have proof, in terms of storyline, in which a qualifed expert claims the Punisher tests sane, more sane than ever. Of course I'm sure those qualified experts are wrong, right? ;)

How is it that you can pick and choose what to believe? You don't believe me, because I can't scan you in something, but you'll buy someone else who also shows you no proof.

Sound like a case of believing what you want to believe.

In the end, you're still a laughing stock and an idiot, so I guess it's all good. Keep on keeping on. :up:

See that's your problem and thats why everyone of your threads turn into ****. You state your opinions, but you state them as facts. You asked for opinions if people thought Punisher was insane, they did, but you come in and call them idiots, morons and so forth because it doesn't agree with your opinion, that you've decided is now fact. You're better off keeping your opinions to yourself as you're clearly not capable of engaing in any type of rationalized discussion. Everything turns into my opinion is right, all of your opinions are wrong, so whats the point of even starting a thread asking for opinions if you're just going to shoot them all down. To make you feel better about your own illgoical and ill conceived psychotic point of views. I'm done here, you can carry on now.

LOL Yeah, if I would have accepted your and other opinions, I would have missed 98% of the story...I'm sure you just ''forgot'' to mention Jigsaw, and the hallucegenic drugs slipped to him and the fact that he didn't actually kill t he jaywalkers ;)

I can't believe you think I should just automatically accept your (of all people) view of events, when it's just been proven half the story was cut out of it.

Hey, that other guy said the story line it happened in and when...something you did not do when I asked you. Plus you are hardly reliable at the best of times, now I KNOW you are a deciever, if not a liar.

Dath, I never called anyone stupid, well not because of how they view the punisher anyway...I wanted to know why photo felt how he did. Now, even though I disagree strongly, at least I know the logic behind it. he's an idiot for completely different reasons than why he thinks something about a comic character, much like yourself.

You don't have to believe anyone. I just asked why believe one thing over the other if both do not give you the "proof" you so desperately need?

And you can call me whatever you want, celldog.

Also, I don't think he was shooting to kill in that story anyway. The wife-beater just got hit in the arm which is pretty much what he deserved anyway.

LOL Hahaha I was here at the same time as Celldog moron :D

But I asked for proof from you because clearly, you aren't exactly trust worthy. I knew that, hence I asked for proof, and you proved yourself right by missing half the story.

What's funny to me is that you're crying "trust" on a ***damn comic book message board. This isn't real life, just to clue you in.

Also, celldog has become more of a term. I think I'm just going to refer to you as "celldog" from now on.

Ah ok. I can call you ''moronic backwards idiot'' then...as a term :D

If you lie about something as trivial as a comic book, why would you be honest about more important things? It's a credibility issue.
