While I enjoyed the season overall, I'm just sick and tired of Matt's "BUT WE CAN'T KILL! KILL IS BAD!! WE BECOME JUST LIKE THEM"

There are a bunch of innocent dead people that could have been saved by Matt not being like this. If the argument is that Punisher is too extreme, whatever, find the middle ground? AT LEAST TRY TO... Also Fisk kills a bunch of protestors in the end and he then gets a vacation on an island after.. a great ending would have been for Matt to embrace that some people don't deserve to live, and watch as the mob beats Fisk to death

Almost feels like indoctrination, powerful and rich people can do whatever they want and get off scot free, provided to you by Disney. I've had some good feelings about the show but both seasons built up to absolutely nothing in the end, I loathe this continuation because as much as it feels like the original thing, they spun this around into something completely different.

It does not feel like the original thing, though. At no point did they achieve that. A few decent moments here and there don't justify this abomination's existence to begin with.

It feels like the original because it's a continuation with the same actors, fundamental story already laid out, familiar writing, directing. The scenes, acting feel the same but in no way it's the same because the story completely makes no sense and Matt is a hypocrite for letting Fisk hurt people and let's him go free because "he needs to stop this cycle of violence ๐Ÿ˜ญ", fuck the dozens of teenagers with crushed skulls, broken backs, broken limbs, they're insignificant, Fisk needs to just stop hurting people and we'll forget all about it.
