With the relationship between Marvel and Netflix rapidly dissolving, the fate of characters like Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage in the MCU is very much up in the air right now. It’s possible we’ll see these Netflix shows continued in some form or another on the upcoming Disney+ service. It’s just as possible Marvel will choose to reboot these characters in a more MCU-friendly manner. After all, it’s not as though the MCU movies and the Netflix shows have ever shared much in common.
With The Punisher having just returned for a second (and most likely final) season on Netflix, it’s more apparent than ever that Frank Castle is the one Netflix character who needs a reboot. Starting over with the Punisher is the only way Marvel will be able to integrate the character more fully into the wider MCU. And since we assume that is the eventual goal, here are some reasons why a reboot is needed. (Some spoilers follow for The Punisher Seasons 1 and 2.)
