The Punisher (Comic Book Character)

 Oh man I am extremely excited to be talking about this one guys. The Punisher is another one of my personal favorite comic book characters ever. Since making his debut in the Amazing Spider-Man comic book back in 1974 where he was originally depicted as an assassin and adversary to the web head, the Punisher has been tearing it up ever since.

The story for the Punisher is about a man named Frank Castle, a former US Marine who lost his family to the Mob due to them witnessing a murder committed by them. Since then, the Punisher has waged a one man war on crime and is willing to go any lengths to accomplish his mission.

And he is not picky in his choices of evil criminals that he wants to kill. If you are a criminal that has committed something terrible, you bet your backside that Castle will hunt you down and finish you off.

His obsession of avenging his family and being an end to crime has been something that I find endearing but also concerning. Although I really enjoy the character, I don't necessarily agree with how the Punisher goes about it.

Now with that being said, the Punisher comics do leave us with a very interesting question. What do we do about criminals who not only continue to harm people, but enjoy it?

Where I am getting at is how everything just seems to keep getting worse. Where do we drawn the line? I am all for forgiveness and giving people chances to better themselves as well as the world. But when is enough, enough? I sometimes wonder if the Punisher is right at times because the justice system doesn't always work plus some of these criminals take advantage of the system and just get right back out there on the streets and just continue to make innocent people suffer.

The Punisher certainly questions a lot about morality which I do love that about the character. Seeing the black outfit with the skull and crossbones, you know that things about to go to down.

Heck! I remember reading about how the Punisher took over the War Machine suit and my mind was just blown. The last person I think anybody in Marvel wanted to see get into that suit, it would have been the Punisher. But nonetheless, I really did enjoy seeing him as War Machine.

The Punisher has also been featured in a few movies like the one in 1989 starring Dolph Lundgren. The 2004 movie with Thomas Jane playing the character which I really enjoyed that movie. There was also the 2008 Punisher Warzone movie that featured Ray Stevenson.

Recently Jon Bernthal plays the Punisher and I must say, he has done an amazing job and I can not wait to see how things go with Daredevil Born Again. I am really hoping for it to be good. Plus I have always loved seeing Daredevil and Punisher work together, I truly believe these guys need each other and that they are stronger together. 

With that being said, I really hope that the new series Daredevil Born Again will be awesome. Two of my favorite characters are in it and I really want it to succeed. Fingers crossed!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

Nick is a local mechanic who has been serving this community for many, many years and has always been a generous, hard worker and honorable person at the Dickson's Garage along with his father Ken. He and his father are also local racing legends around here in Mifflin County having raced for a couple generations now. Nick and his family have always been honest with me and my family and has helped take care of our vehicles for many years. They are amazing,  hardworking people who now need our help. And according to the go fund me page that was set up by Andrea Baker and Valeri Thornburgh. The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
