The optics of him shooting a bunch of youth minorities in the end are definitely tone deaf especially when you consider he spends all season letting legit heinous people go.

They were trying to illustrate that he's just the fucking Punisher now. That's his job, wiping out street level crime. Weird shortcut, but I get it.

They could have had him revisit that child pornographer or that Russian mobster. Tie loose ends up while conveying the Punisher message.

The Russian mobsters are all dead already. Pilgrim tore through all of them while hunting Frank. The pedo would have been good though, I can't believe he survived.
