She refused to be treated inferiorly because she was a woman in the crime-game, and since she took over for a guy; she always had this urge to really prove herself as strong and independent. Well, until Bendis got a hold of her and made her totally psychotic. He's such a fucking hack writer. <br />Anyways- thanks for the link about that Punisher arc! I don't have the issues that immediately follow- I was just taken aback by how differently he was writing the character. "Frank was that severly tramuatized vet who never got or wanted to get the help he desparately needed to seek for his PTSD..." -Couldn't have said it better. But you can add onto that "...and is then thrown into a world of costumed super heroes and villains!"<br />-Poor guy.<br />You know, I really hate the cop-out of "a bad guy drugged me!" or "I was mind-controlled" or "It was a clone that did that" or "an alternate reality version of me!" that comics use all the damn time. Let the character grow, make mistakes, learn, have layers- you know? <br />But, in all fairness: Littering IS a crime against society.The King of Thessalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406771819941242204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954474436358879146.post-66235517459880695092015-02-25T02:14:17.102-05:002015-02-25T02:14:17.102-05:00Did Spidey just passively-aggressively call Moonst...Did Spidey just passively-aggressively call Moonstone a whore? Good for you Peter, make your dear Aunt May proud;)<br /><br />That Mantlo it with Punisher definitely was too far out of character for Frank(believe or not) but I can kinda' see where maybe Mantlo was going with that angle. Frank was Marvel's Rambo 10 years before the world knew who Rambo was...or the darker ending they newer went with in the movies.<br /><br />Frank was that severly tramuatized vet who never got or wanted to get the help he desparately needed to seek for his PTSD.<br />I think Mantlo was trying to say this was a natural line of progression with Frank; where he has to punish every single crime commited, no matter the size of the offense.<br /><br />Steve Grant would later use this another outburst to his advantage, He explained that it was some drug kingpins drugging Frank, that caused him to lose his shit like this.<br />It was revealed in an article I read @comicbookresources.com a few weeks back:<br />http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2011/12/20/the-abandoned-an-forsaked-did-punisher-just-shoot-that-litterer/Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954474436358879146.post-24381504614467237132015-02-23T20:06:50.185-05:002015-02-23T20:06:50.185-05:00*fart noise**fart noise*The King of Thessalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406771819941242204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954474436358879146.post-40131500889632410092015-02-23T16:53:29.134-05:002015-02-23T16:53:29.134-05:00Oh that almost hurt how Spidey so thoroughly disse...Oh that almost hurt how Spidey so thoroughly dissed Moonstone! by the way i need you to follow up with your comment left over at the ROM blog you'll see what i'm talking about when you read my reply.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.com
