The directors of the Daredevil: Born Again finale have talked about the Punisher’s emotions on his MCU murders, saying it’s a way to cope with his anguish. As part of one of the most dramatic MCU finales to date, Punisher made a comeback to Daredevil: Born Again in episode 9. In one of the best moments in the whole series, Punisher and Daredevil work together to eliminate a group of crooked police officers who are extremely prejudiced. Punisher kills his opponents voluntarily, but Daredevil refuses to do the same. Directors Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson discussed the Punisher’s views toward murdering in a YouTube interview with Brandon Davis. They disclosed that the Punisher uses killing as a way to cope with the anguish of Frank Castle’s tormented history rather than as a sort of enjoyment. When talking about how Jon Berthal’s portrayal captures moments of what can be seen as joy during his murderous rampages, Moorhead makes this remark. The complete quote from Moorhead is as follows:
“One might think that if you’re not paying really close attention to what the Punisher does, you might think he enjoys killing. But it’s not glee, it’s pain relief, you know? It’s like saying you enjoy Tylenol. It’s not you enjoy it, it’s that it removes the pain for him.”

Among Marvel’s most tragic characters is The Punisher. Jon Bernthal skillfully portrays his fragility in nearly every scene he is in, despite his hypermasculinity. The torture that Frank Castle endures on a daily basis is mentioned by the directors of the Daredevil: Born Again finale, who also directed the first episode of the film, when they explain that Frank Castle kills to relieve his anguish. In episode 4 of Daredevil: Born Again, Castle, in his series debut, reveals that he can still hear his deceased kid talking to him. Castle discloses in this scene:
“Every time I stop moving I still hear my little boy. I see him. And I hear his voice. He says “get ’em, Daddy. Every last single one of ’em, get ’em.” That’s why I do what I do.”
Here, Frank Castle acknowledges how his inactivity causes him to suffer from the agony of thinking about the horrible murder of his family. As a kind of retaliation, Castle administers deadly justice to everyone he believes deserves it, ensuring that evil characters are permanently removed from the picture so they cannot inflict the suffering he currently endures on others or kill innocent people like his family. Only when he is performing his gruesome duties does his agony lessen. In actuality, Castle seldom ever feels happy, if at all, and this remark demonstrates that his sole option is to find relief. Moorhead and Benson’s remarks, in my opinion, show how well they understand the original material, especially considering that the Daredevil: Born Again series finale was among the greatest MCU TV episodes I’ve seen in a long time. Additionally, Bernthal receives well-earned accolades from the filmmakers for his ability to portray the feelings they depict. I’m excited to see more of this feeling expressed in the future, especially with Punisher’s impending return to the MCU.
