The only problem I have with this is that it’s fiction.
If even Superman is being targeted, I don’t even want to know what Captain America is up to these days. Is he already the poster boy for ICE?
I’m asking because this isn’t fiction.

Well, yeah, he basically was, for a while.
(These fascist types tend to identify more with the Punisher, though, despite the fact that he’d be the first to shoot them full of bullets.)
I take it you never saw CA: The Winter Soldier. There’s this whole bit about Steve and Nat getting hunted because they didn’t bow to the fascists.
I think it’s very interesting that CA: Winter Soldier was about the secret Nazis that have taken over the government while CA: Brave New World (Order) is about how slavery is okay when the President General does it and loves his daughter or something

What? Ross ended up in jail, and was never portrayed as the good guy…
It would be pretty ironic if it was considering he socked Hitler in the jaw all those times
I mean, dirty cops love the Punisher, even though he’s canonically killed quite a few of them.
and they dont realized boyz IS ALSO MAKING fun of them and trump at the same time
Hes canonically also said he hates cops that worship him because they are supposed to be the vanguard of law and order, not murderers. I think he then went on to kill those cops, to really just nail the whole point home.
Surprise surprise, it didn't take.
conservatives like the co-opt one part of something they like discard another, much like with WOKE, punisher, and even christian-themed shows like supernatural.
You check the new Daredevil. There’s whole storyline about NYC cop who are way too into the Punisher.
And iirc hates it when cops use his image, as he only need to exist because cops are not upholding justice.
He has outlined this explicitly multiple times in every appearance he’s ever made in anything. It takes a dangerously fucking stupid individual to use him as a symbol for police or justice. The creator of The Punisher has even outlined this in real life too many times to mention.
Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest, because the MAGA cultists somehow still see themselves as patriots.
Irony just doesn’t seem to be their thing, otherwise they probably wouldn’t have voted for the same rapist twice.

I’m kinda in the same boat. I don’t give a fuck about Superman or Bond or any other lone hero fighting against imaginary villains when real villains are running amok.
Even James Gunn seems to be aware of this FWIW
