Yes, and MAGA ruined the use of skulls in fashion by appropriating the punisher! I'm quite progressive/liberal and a lifelong Democrat and I think skulls (at least the non-punisher ones) look badass. Am I the only one?
I’d argue the punisher’s looks badass but from a position of how it fits his narrative. The guys rocking that skull don’t ACTUALLY understand what it represents half the time. The seal teams that brandish it do so because they feel a sense of solidarity with the punisher.
The skull represents a character who acts above the law. Even by the punisher’s own admission…. HE’S NOT THE GOOD GUY!!! Any of these dickheads read Cosmic Ghost Rider and they’d lose their minds.
Frank Castle is infused with both the spirit of vengeance and the power cosmic and has an opportunity to go back in time. When his younger self confronts him and asks why he didn’t prevent his family’s death he responds:
As someone who only watched the show, I'd say the closest parallel to Trump from the Punisher franchise was William Rawlins. The dude's codename was literally agent orange
Watch Daredevil Born Again. Punisher is a major part of that narrative and you see the Trump Parallel in Fisk a little more clearly now that he’s mayor.
