So I read this and.. what the fuck is this sequence supposed to mean? Like, what is the thought process here?
Frank clearlyhas no idea about the girl in question - her family, her background, he doesn't even know how fucking old she is, for christ sake! He doesn't know if he is right now sending her back to family that is abusive or violent, he doesn't know whether maybe her daddy raped her or whored her out to his friends so she decided to at least get paid for it - nothing. She just looks young, so let's save her in most patronizing way possible, yay!
Hell, for all we know she's actually an ex-porn star who's actually close to 30 but looks young because of botox, and wanted a change of career. He knows NOTHING about her.
I mean - it's not like this pimp is abusing her or something, since if he did, he'd long be dead - especially since his friend, pictured, is one of his hookers. So what the shit?
I mean, I though entire point of Punisher was that he plans his shit out to work efficiently and doesn't act rashly, and doesn't pretend like he's some saviour who can save the world by doing good deeds like saving cats from trees or some shit like that.
I mean, was it a good deed? It's just a stupid act of being self righteous, how is it any differnet from some wanker in spandex deciding not to kill even to save a hostage because muh precious moral code? It's bullshit, that's what it is. Does he get off on it or something? It makes no fucking sense.
I mean, if there was at least some justification, like some insight into Frank's mind implying she reminds him of his daughter or something, but nothing.
What is this shit? This is completely out of character for Frank? When all of /co/ was collectively jizzing itself over Punisher Max I thought it was gonna be good, instead of poignant shit like "The Punisher saves this stupid whore from her gender foolish ways, Blessed He Be!".

Frank isn't always a "meticulously plan shit out" kinda guy. Occasionally he runs across shit he doesn't approve of and deals with it in the Frankest way possible. It might not always be the most objectively correct and best solution to the problem, but I don't think Frank really cares, especially with shit like this. He sees a girl under 18, father instincts automatically kick in. Doesn't matter who the fuck this chick was, what her story was, or anything.
Frank isn't perfect and he's not gonna just solve that girl's life. But he certainly wasn't just gonna let that shit pass by.
I don't think comics are for you.

Whatever helps him sleep at night.
>it's an anon tries to justify prostitution thread
Okay, and that's - that is NOT how elevators work. In addition to these black ops guys being in the basement so they would have nowhere to drop to - that is NOT what a falling elevator would do. Maybe they would get broken bones (I don't think there is a single recorded fatality from being inside modern elevator in freefall), but this is some Happy Tree Friends bullshit.

>tries to justify prostitution
Justify? What is there to justify? It's an occupation, and very often it's actually fully voluntary.
But even in cases where it IS exploitative, simply forcing prostitute into a career change is not usually the best idea.

Okay, I'm curious - who comics are for, then? What did you even mean by that?
>>83452608
Ennis?
Dude's an edgy faggot.
>>83452608
Okay, and now - people who seem so far to be CIA, and working together with Microchip, know they are about to be hit - and they just open the door like that? Like, any motherfucker can just open the door? Noone in the room where one of the most dangerous people in the world is even has a fucking gun out?
Most grannies I've seen are more cautious about home security than this.
In fact, why the special ops guys are even in the basement? What exactly would stop them from getting a room opposite of the penthouse where they're keeping Frank for a better response time (well, maybe not opposite, so if they needed to shoot someone coming inside the important penthouse so they wouldn't shoot anyone inside - let's say apartment next to it, or at least on the same floor)? Why a ten year old child could plan this operation better, though it was supposedly planned by Micro?
This is fucking braindead. I'd believe this kind of shit if it was clearly meant from the start be some ridiculous surreal black comedy atmosphere kinda like in Preacher or Just A Pilgrim - you know, some reminder to not take shit seriously - but in this Gritty And Realistic Comic, this is literally the Bethell's team jobbing the shit out of this entire thing, even if they aren't real CIA and just got badges saying so.
The Punisher is stupid. The series and the character. This isn't a new thing.

I mean, I know, but usually he prefers to put edgy shit where it's actually plausible.
Besides I think closeup of a SWAT dude with both of his thigs with open fractures poking out in a way that severed one of veins in his thighs spraying high-pressure blood everywhere, while yelling "Fuck!" would be more edgy than this, and make more sense.
It's like, he tries to be edgy but doesn't even commit. He somehow manages to half-ass trying too hard. Simply amazing.

If he's clearly visible with binoculars... can't they just, like, you know. Snipe him? I mean, hunting rifles are perfectly lethal. Besides, many mob enforcers are ex-military and would be able to take the shot.
Like, I'm supposed to believe that combined mafia of entire New York City doesn't have between them a single contract killer who knows how to work a sniper rifle?
At this point I can't even say it's hindering my suspension of disbelief because that one went out of the window two issues ago, but jesus shit.
Why does Ennis insist on writing comics this /k/ommando when it seems he either doesn't know or doesn't care much about real life military/law enforcement ops and tactics?
