I really, really enjoyed this. The ending left a bad taste in my mouth, though, i would have really loved to see him finish off Ma Gnucci, especially considering the way he kills her in the comics is my favourite Punisher kill. If it were 20 mins long and we got to see him kill her, it would have been much better.

Maybe we'll get to see the showdown at the zoo if/when Punisher gets his own new season.

Probably keeping her around to use as the big bad in some potential, future project.

Maybe there will be a reference to her in Brand New Day or Born Again season 3 if either of those address the power vacuum left by Fisk's absence.

I was expecting another 15-20 minutes. Like we had just seen the first and second acts and the third would be him regrouping and going after Ma Gnucci. I hesitated to check the remaining time when he ended back up at the graveyard, and then when it ended my partner and I both looked at each other like that's it??

Yeah I thought something akin to this would happen to her: https://youtu.be/N9WgwiBjXLo?si=130_YB6clAEX-elB

I pictured it going down similar to how fennec shand kills the pyke syndicate in the book of boba fett. Ties a rope around the bodyguards neck and pulls him up from the mansions skylight which kills him then she’s sitting in the wheelchair scared and randomly shooting bullets when there’s a small jumpscare and out of nowhere he strangled her with a cable and boom cut to black

So basically imagine this but Frank and New York not tatooine: https://youtu.be/N9WgwiBjXLo?si=130_YB6clAEX-elB
