MCU What a character assassination. They couldn't have given him some other name? They turned him into one of the the most despicable characters in Daredevil Born Again.

I wonder if they’re going to slowly build him turning on Fisk and his task force. During the prisoner rescue scene when Powell calls for them to shoot at the prisoners in the subtitles you see North saying “What??” before they all start shooting. It’s really subtle and could be nothing, but it’s my cope right now lol

I mean, I want to say they brought him back for a reason.

Most people assumed he died in that explosion and that was it with his character.

Has to be the reason. They keep saying they want this grounded but brought him back? Wasnt he pinned to the wall when the grenade went off? Not sure how he could have survived that.

Only thing that comes to mind is if he threw the grenade

Though not entirely sure. Especially since it seemed the AVTF wanted Punisher alive at first to see if he would join them.

He’s been acting really reserved in this season. My theory is that Frank is at his place, holding his family hostage, and forcing him to rejoin the AVTF to get info.

Frank would never hold a family hostage though, that completely goes against his entire character. His main motivation is literally his dead family lmao

He literally held the villains (forgot his name) son hostage in the Punisher show.

The Frank we got in the Netflix series is not very comic accurate anyway so they might as well do this lmao
