    The thing about the psychiatry discussion: it's not that you risk driving that person to "bad people", it's that you're teaching that person to hide their urge. And once they stop talking about it, you've lost the opportunity to do something about that urge.

    One of my favorite moments of exploring Punisher's psychology is from the Ultimate Marvel universe. Frank took a shot that, while not aiming for him, ended up hitting Spider-Man in the ribs. This injury contributed to Spider-Man's death in that world (and replacement by Miles).
    When the police found him, he got down on his knees, put his hands on his head, and screamed "Punish me!"

      Not really. The logical extreme of the Punisher is the Punisher. He is a man that hates crime and criminals so much he has gone on an extralegal crusade against crime. He is an anti-crime criminal. The Punisher is a man with a simple moral code, criminals should die for their crimes.
      Dread is exactly the opposite of the Punisher. He is a paragon of the law. Everything he does is dictated by the law. His moral code is the legal code. Where the Punisher kills people because he wants to, Dread kills people because the law requires that he do so.

    I'm doing counselling and psychology, and one of the first questions we were asked was 'who could you not work with as a client?' There were a lot of people who said murderers, SA perpetrators (on minors or adults) and such, but I've always held the belief that if one of those type of people is coming to you, they want to change and get help. If they're doing it as a court-mandated thing or similar, I'd find it harder as they're not there by choice. One of the core tenets is being non-judgemental, but it can be hard to break out of those instinctive modes of thinking

    The mention of pedos and therapy reminded me of someone off tumblr years back.
    They had those thoughts and wanted to go to therapy to get help, but lived in some tiny ass town in the middle of nowhere USA, they however knew someone else who had the same thoughts, and tried to get help from a therapist.
    A few days after they went to get help, they had been "found" strung up in the middle of town, zero investigation, clearly "did it to themselves".
    The stygma for that illness makes me wonder how many people don't get help out of the fear of death and end up becoming monsters.

    It honestly bugs me a little when you guys talk about how "The Pennant Stare" doesn't work on him because he's got no remorse. The Pennant Stare makes you experience all the pain and suffering you've inflicted upon the innocent... and he's never hurt the innocent

    • @ericwhite1942
      @ericwhite1942 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Well, it not like they're saying that like it's their opinion. It's a thing that happened in the comics. Ghost Rider hit Punisher with the Pentance Stare, and it did nothing to him. Ghost Rider then states that the Pentance Stare doesn't affect him because it only affects you if you've harmed innocent people and Punisher has never harmed someone who was innocent

    • @Jason-fm4my
      @Jason-fm4my 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The pennant stare doesn't make sense in a Catholic-based universe. Due to everyone being born with original sin, no one except Adam Eve and Jesus is born Innocent. So it would just be a normal stare.

    • @ericwhite1942
      @ericwhite1942 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Well, that is how it works in the Marvel universe. It hurts everyone hit by it because everyone's hurt an innocent at least alittle, via lying, neglect, harsh words, ect.

    I can think of one instance of Batman nearly attacking an innocent person, in the BTAS episode ‘Christmas with the Joker’. While on patrol with Robin, Batman stalks a youth running up behind an elderly woman, who at first blush looks like he is going to snatch her purse. Instead, the young man returns a present she dropped a few blocks back. Just before this exchange, Batman ducks around a corner. If the woman had been a few steps ahead, Batman might have grabbed a guiltless teenager.

It's a superbly written story and would be perfect to adapt for a film. They wouldn't have to change a thing, just pull it straight from the page.

    • @bareakon
      @bareakon 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Depends what one's metric is for the alignment system.
      For me personally chaotic/lawful is about means, and evil/good is about ends.
      So I'd say maybe chaotic neutral trending towards true neutral.
      Neutral (good/evil axis) because Frank has two competing goals: violence for its own sake, and stopping criminals. There's a balance there between selfish and altruistic motives.
      On the chaotic/lawful axis it's hard to call a murderous vigilante lawful in their methods, so it depends how much you take into account his code.
      Similarly I'd say Daredevil is neutral good, trending a little more lawful than most vigilantes, being a lawyer and having a no-kill rule.
      Lawful evil I'd say is someone like Kingpin. Lotta hierarchy and bureaucracy for selfish motives.
      Wanna take the opportunity to say I'm not saying you're wrong. Just think it's a fun discussion to have.

      No, no him and Batman teamed up once. Punisher hated Batman and tried taking a swing at him (Didn't work out very well for Frank, tbh) butnever tried to kill him. He's also, on a number of occasions, saved Spidermans life and has stated that he has a tremendous amount of respect for both him and Daredevil. He just hates working with them because they'll always try to keep him for killing the bad guys. And old Frank just loves him some bad guy killing

    At the time of writing this, Lucas just said the name of the war, but I don't remember it. I think it's probably a good thing to just make up a war for your characters backstory instead of utilising a real war that caused the deaths of however many people. I read at least the first issue of the series that introduced it, and I don't think they even said what continent it was, which I also think is good, it's not a specific group who're the enemy in this case, it's the war more generally.

  • @loka7783
    @loka7783 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The main problem that I have with the Punisher's decision is that taking a life kills not only the criminal, but ALL of the possibilities if that criminal had lived. Yes, the criminal may go on to kill more people, but it is also possible that the guy reforms and runs an orphanage. Look at some real world criminals? JD Delay as an example. He tells us himself he was a scumbag before he went to prison. Drugs, car theft and other crimes. Now days he works hard to stay out of prison and help others stay out of prison with his TH-cam channel. If the Punisher had killed him, no one can tell how many more criminals would be on the streets today. I realize that this is a rare exception in our world, but it does happen.

  • @Boldcheesecake1029
    @Boldcheesecake1029 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The Punisher is a physical manifestation of punishment. It isn't quite good. It isn't quite bad. But it sure as hell is ugly. While he does what he does to horrid people, he doesn't want the world to be a better place. He simply wants pain. It is practically coincidence that the criminals don't do crime and make the world worse.
    Punishment is not justice. It is simply applying pain to human beings who, through their life, thought they had to do what they did for any number of reasons. Sure, a thug working for say, the Joker, would not be considered a good person, but it's likely that a few of them need the money for a good reason and can't do anything else for some reason, like blackmail, or fraud, or simply the sheer money requirements.
    Justice is finding what the best choice is for making the world a better place. For making everybody happy, no exceptions other than when someone's happiness requires someone else's suffering. Maximum happiness for the maximum of people.
    They can overlap at times, but they are still very different.
    Punishment is blind to universal humanity, meanwhile justice is meant entirely for that universal humanity. They are opposites.
    Punishment is meant for pain, justice is meant for joy. They are opposites.
    It is only when pain is handled properly that they change for the better.
    Someone who has had horrible things done to them can sometimes see that they should do the opposite, and help
    Someone who has had horrible things done to them can sometimes delude themselves that it is meant to be done, and harm
    It isn't bad for someone horrible to feel pain. It's bad when they accept the pain and move on like it's nothing, learning nothing.
    Punishment should not be the endgame. It should be a step. Something you pass, yet remember. Something you learn from. It's hard to learn things when your cranium has been direct impacted by a modified RPG-7

    A couple years back I think it was at a college here in the US or whatever, that they made the argument that being attracted to children was a mental illness. Conservative talking heads took this too the extreme and said they sere trying to justify child molesters, or they were trying to make it normal to groom children (despite the fact that plenty of republicans in power justify child marriage). But it's hard to have these actually helpful conversations to try to fix the problem when someone takes the nuance out of the conversation.

    Given that it came up in this video... One of the things that comes up constantly with crimes against children is the idea of punishing certain ones with death. But that's one of those ideas that is just... Terrible in practice, in morality, and more. Consider that a lot of abusers are related to the kid. Also consider that most kids *don't want people to die*. Now the abuser can use the threat of their own death against the kid they abuse- congratulations, the kid now is terrified they're gonna get uncle touchy killed if they ever talk. And that's not counting any false convictions that may come up, or anything else- JUST the fact that the kid may not want their abuser dead instantly leads to those kids being worse off because you decided to punish the abusers more harshly.
    And the worst part is, a smart abuser can already use this if the kid starts catching on and getting the courage to talk- tell anyone and uncle touchy is gonna get beaten by a mob of angry people and maybe die, or get sent to prison where [bad things that are so common it's a fucking sitcom joke], or worse! Extrajudicial punishments only create a greater environment of fear that furthers the issue.
    Even if you think the abusers themselves deserve zero rights (which is a horrific sentiment in and of itself- if they don't deserve rights, who else are you going to arbitrarily deprive of rights?), you have to contend with the fact that there are people who will care about them, or at minimum not want them dead... Including the abused.
